Ihave read many of KS Brooks books, mainly her Mr Pish adventure series and her collaborations on Bad Book and Triple Dog Dare. Also all the Indies Unlimited Tutorial books and Anthologies.I am a big fan of Ms Brooks especially the comedic genius of her writing.I didn't know what to expect with The Kiss of Knight as far as the story goes but was looking forward to it immensely.I wasn't disappointed.This is very different from the previous works but engrossing and touching.Agent Knight is a strong female character who is married to her job. After suffering an injury which has forced her into retirement she struggles to adjust to her 'civilian' life.She retreats deep into the woods in Washington and is assigned a Russian hunk as a bodyguard. She trains obsessively to try and regain her fitness in the hope of returning to her action packed, if somewhat dangerous job as an anti-terrorist agent.She has so devoted her life to her work for her country that she has lost herself along the way.Can Aleksey help Kathrin discover her feminine core and learn to love trustingly? Can she overcome a troubled childhood and actually relax into a 'normal' life?A brilliant characterization of a woman struggling with her life of guns, adventure and danger verses the charms and lure of a near perfect physical specimen which is Aleksey.A touching, sexy and exciting read threaded with humor and I can't wait to read the next Agent Knight book, congratulations KS Brooks, an enthralling book.  Read Less

In The Science of Orgasm, Rutgers professors Beverly Whipple and Barry Komisaruk, with the head of Mexico's Laboratorio Tlaxcala, Carlos Beyer-Flores, explain in detail how the brain is the center of human sexuality. Rather than trudging through their weighty tome, you can simply read K. S. Brooks' The Kiss of Night and experience this truth. The key to any good fantasy is the pacing, when tantalizing surprises appear and heighten the excitement, and yet the plot thickens to delay the climax, only to make it all the more heart-pounding and complete. Brooks builds this prequel / sequel to Lust for Danger in layers, mixing a recuperating Special Agent Kathrin Night's past, present and future with the intrigue of a Russian bodyguard, Agent Aleksey Khovechkin, who doesn't like his assignment from the Russian Minister of Defense. While living in close quarters, these two who are nothing alike, discover how much they have in common, and how much that can change everything.  Read Less

Special anti-terrorist agent Kathrin Night is forced into an early retirement after a debilitating injury, which could alter her career forever. While rehabilitating, Kathrin is sent a bodyguard from the Russian Minister of Defense. Refusing Agent Aleksey Khovechkin services is not an option. Kathrin must find a way to grin and bear this tall, brooding, massive wall of muscle with black hair and sparkling aqua-colored eyes.Kathrin has dedicated herself to protecting others and is now at a crossroad in her career. Having worked for and with multiple intelligence agencies her whole adult life, she is unsure if she will ever be able to lead a common civilian life. “The Kiss of Night,” a novelette, is Kathrin's journey of coming to terms with her future as well as how she became the person she is now. There is action and adventure, told through flashbacks, and suspense is woven through the story because Agent Night’s life could still be in danger, hence the bodyguard, Aleksey.Agent Aleksey is mysterious and intriguing; he is a hard-core agent with Alpha tendencies. However, Kathrin is good at profiling and uses this to her advantage. Needless to say they have a rocky start as Kathrin is a loner and needs her privacy. I normally don’t pick up spy novels unless they have a fantasy element to them. However, this book wasn’t what I was expecting because the character-driven plot is mostly about the journey these two Alpha agents are on together. I am looking forward to reading book two, “Night Undone.” I need more Aleksey. I would recommend this novelette for a little afternoon delight to any reader who enjoys well-developed and unforgettable characters.  Read Less
