Resumen del Editor

When Keri Daniels’ editor finds out she has previous carnal knowledge of reclusive best-selling author Joe Kowalski, she gives Keri a choice: get an interview or get a new job.

Joe’s never forgotten the first girl to break his heart, so he’s intrigued to hear Keri’s back in town—and looking for him. Despite his intense need for privacy, he’ll grant Keri an interview if it means a chance to finish what they started in high school.

He proposes an outrageous plan—for every day she survives with his family on their annual camping and four-wheeling trip, Keri can ask one question. Keri agrees; she’s worked too hard to walk away from her career.

But the chemistry between them is still as potent as the bug spray, Joe’s sister is out to avenge his broken heart, and Keri hasn’t ridden an ATV since she was 10. Who knew a little blackmail, a whole lot of family, and some sizzling romantic interludes could make Keri reconsider the old dream of Keri & Joe 2gether 4ever.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Stacey’s writing is sharp and sexy and this second-chance story is perfectly hilarious... I enjoyed this book so much - if it were printed on paper I’d hit people with it until they read it." (Sarah Wendell, Salon.com)

Interesting Introduction to Series

I enjoyed other books in this series more, but this was a nice introduction. There were sibling characters I would like to have learned more about but later books jumped to another branch of the family so the interesting characters in this book didn't develop.

The author skillfully let you get to know the characters gradually. At times the plot seemed a little forced. But overall it was an easy read.

The narrator did a good job. She is well suited to the series.

Fun and light

Great book when you need something fun with just a little bit of spice! Fun characters and good entertainment

Pleasantly Surprised!

Goodreads recommended this book for me and I had it in my Wish List for quite awhile. I didn't like the description of the book, felt it wasn't something I wouldn't enjoy. I was wrong! I ended up reading a free novella from Shannon Stacey, which I liked (it was part of the Kowalski series) and decided to give it a try. It wasn't what I expected from the description. I don't want to give away any of the plot, so let me just say I was pleasantly surprised by the book and will be reading more of the series.

Entertaining, but a little silly

A very predictable romantic comedy. The narrator was very good. A good book for the beach.

A common place story

Although the story is too common place the developing daily occurence : however trivial but the implication is exceptional.

Sugar and spice and everything nice...

This is book 1 of the Kowalski Family series. Keri and Joe are high school sweethearts. Then Keri goes away for college and to find professional success as a writer for a magazine. Joe ends up being a very successful horror novel writter. Fast forward 20 years and Keri's boss finds out she has history with Joe and forces her to interview him or lose her job.

I liked many things about this book. Keri was a realistic heroine. She had her flaws, her attitude and a good sense of humor. Joe, was a real man and I loved his determination to get a second chance at love with Keri. The story was interesting, the passion hot and the situations that happened were very relatable. I really liked the POV that the author uses for this book. She lets you know what both Joe and Keri are thinking and feeling. Best of all, the next two books are even better that this one. This is a sweet, funny and sexy contemporary romance and I loved it.

Narration: Lauren Fortgang does a very good job! Every character had a distinct voice and she definitely added life and emotions to the story. Will look for more books narrated by Ms. Fortgang.

Cute

While I'm finding myself enjoying Shannon Stacey books and loving the Kolwaski family the plots are ok. But it's the characters that you fall in love with. How Ms. Stacey covers every aspect of an "Utterly Ideal Family". And I thinks it's beautiful how they sick together. And to see how the outsider, here it's Kerri, is slowly but surely turned in to a Kolwaski. And they all love every minute of it. Fun and enjoyable.

Easy Read

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Pretty typical. No surprised. Nice easy read.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Typical

Would you listen to another book narrated by Lauren Fortgang?

Yes

Do you think Exclusively Yours needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No. It already felt a bit drawn out at times.

Fun, witty, hot!

Loved it! Narrator was fantastic! Enjoyed the story and all the details of the characters lives. Definitely a book I'll listen to again! Great job, Ms Stacey. I can't wait to check out your other works!

Great Story

This is an Audio book with Great Story and excellent audio. I recommend everyone should try this book.
