EXCERPT:
Grip leans into me, pushing back my hair and rolling his still-icy beer bottle over my neck. I swallow, but don’t dare look at him, hoping he’ll drop it, but he doesn’t.
“When you grow up on the streets, you don’t just develop a sixth sense.” He captures a lock of my hair and tests it between his fingers. “You have six, seven, eight, nine of ’em, because those instincts could be the difference between death or life. My mom and Jade have so many senses they almost know what you’re thinking before you think it. And even though I’ve never told her, Jade only had to be in the room with us for a hot minute to know I want you.”
I clench my eyes closed and pull in a stuttering breath, trapping my bottom lip between my teeth.
“Don’t do this, Grip.”
“Jade’s right,” he continues as if I hadn’t spoken, hadn’t asked him to stop. “My mom would flip if I brought a white girl home. If I brought you home. Maybe it is bigoted and ancient, but that’s just her. You know better than most that we don’t get to choose our family, but we still gotta love them.”
I don’t respond to that. He knows how contentious things have been between my brother and my parents. Beyond the headlines everyone else has seen, he knows how hard I’ve worked to reconcile them. I moved to LA to help Rhyson with his career, yes, but also to bridge the country-wide chasm between the two factions of my family.
“Like you, I’d do anything for my family.” He comes in an inch closer, caressing under my chin and tilting it up with his index finger. “But if you’d ever give me a shot, I wouldn’t give a fuck what anyone thought. I’d take you home to my mama.”
I’m a little too high and a lot too horny for this conversation, for the stone-hard thigh pressing against me, for the heat coming off his body and smothering my resistance. I try to sit up, hoping it will clear my head so I can make my escape, but his hand presses gently into my chest, just above the swell of my breasts, compelling me back into the cushion. His lips hover over mine, and I will him to kiss me because I’ll make the first move if he doesn’t. After years of not moving, I have no idea how I’ll explain that once the smoke clears.
Sometimes at night after the chaos dies, I think about our first kiss at the top of a Ferris wheel. Just like then, his lips start soft, brushing mine like wings in sweet sweeps, coaxing me open and delving into me. Sampling me, he groans into my mouth and chases my tongue. The rough palm of his hand cups my face, angling me so he can dive deeper. He doesn’t come up for air, but keeps kissing me so deeply I can’t breathe. He tastes so good, I’ll choose him over air as long as I can. Why is it never like this with anyone else? I want it to be so bad, but it never is.
He releases my lips to scatter kisses down my neck. My back arches, and my nipples go tight. He knows that’s my spot. After all this time, he still knows. My neck is so incredibly sensitive, a gateway to the rest of my body.
“You taste exactly the same.” His words come on a labored breath in my ear. “Do you know how long it’s been since I kissed you?”
Eight years.
“Eight years.” He shakes his head, eyes riveting mine in light lent by candles and the moon. “And you taste exactly the same.”

Resisting an irresistible force wears you down and turns you out.
I know.
I’ve been doing it for years.
I may not have a musical gift of my own, but I’ve got a nose for talent and an eye for the extraordinary.
And Marlon James – Grip to his fans – is nothing short of extraordinary.
Years ago, we strung together a few magical nights, but I keep those memories in a locked drawer and I’ve thrown away the key.
All that’s left is friendship and work.
He’s on the verge of unimaginable fame, all his dreams poised to come true.
I manage his career, but I can’t seem to manage my heart.
It’s wild, reckless, disobedient.
And it remembers all the things I want to forget.
The education given by our parents is basic in our life. It will define what kind of human beings we will become when we grow older. Other influences are the social prejudice and what people think of us. People tend to wrongly define us by the colour of our skin. A colour does not matter when love and good feelings are involved.
Grip touches a delicate topic. The author made me feel sick of how unfair people could be because of the colour of skin. There is no rule that dictates that we can’t love someone who has different colour of skin. Society is cruel to those who defy self-imposed rules. People with closed minds are only dedicated to damage what they do not think is correct. If I could, I give more that only 5 stars to this book. The author was able to capture those moments of injustice suffered by black people with courtesy.
After reading Flow, Bristol witnesses a situation that will leave a deep mark in her. The mistakes from the past will make her build a wall to protect herself from love. She does not want to be like her mother. She is not her mother.
“All my life I’ve been the chaser. Chasing my parent’s approval. Chasing my brother’s love and friendship. I went to extremes to make them notice me, to make them love me”.
Things got a little complicated when she discovers Grip’s lie. She does not tolerate cheating men. She deserves more but she is trying hard not to show her feelings for Grip. Both took different ways but still together because their jobs.
She finally reached one of her dreams and she recovered her twin brother but her life is still incomplete. After a hard work she manages Grip’s career. Life goes on. Grip is convinced of his feelings or her. He is patiently waiting for her but his patience could reach a limit. Moments they shared will feed Grip’s hope.
“Her body is honest with me even when she hides the truth. I want her truth. I have to know”.
Social prejudices, family issues and a closed-minded people will fill Bris and Grip’s love story. She will pull him away from her. She will give him to another woman in order to save her sanity but she will start her own hell. You can’t decide who you fall in love for. Love is a pure feeling which does not distinguish anyone because of the colour of skin.
“The thing you think is your greatest weakness is your greatest strength. That capacity to love, everyone doesn’t have it. That grit to fight for the people who mean the most to you, it’s priceless”.
Grip is a highly recommend book that you won’t want to miss it. Interracial love, hope, second chances and loyalty fill Grip and Bristol’ story. This book left me with a good taste. Flow & Grip are my very first Kennedy Ryan reads and I couldn't have fallen more in love with her writing. I'm officially ADDICTED!

GRIP is the full-length conclusion of their story available NOW here: http://kennedyryanwrites.com/grip/
What happens when you feel attracted to your brother’s best friend? First, it comes across the remorse of what people will think of you, what if you are spoiling it and then you seek for the approval of all of them. Flow shows us this kind of situation. When the attraction is hard you have two options: you could fight it or you could surrender to it.
This book is the prequel to Grip. The peace is fast and the story around the main characters is well built. Bristol and Grip are from different worlds but the attraction between them will pull us together. Bris cares a lot for her beloved ones. That’s the reason why she is visiting her twin brother who emancipated himself from his family. She will do anything she is capable in order to fix her broken family. She wants Rhyson back to her life.
“No she isn’t the kind of girl you mess over. A guy needs to be very sure he wants her, and just her, before he makes a move. Yeah. A guy would have to be very sure”.
On the other hand we have Grip, Rhyson’s best friend who will take care of little Bris while Rhyson is busy at work. Bristol and Grip are from different worlds but that doesn’t matter when the attraction is heavy. Things won’t be easy for them because when things are going well something happen to prove you. That’s life about.
I loved the tug-of-war going between them because they want to hide what they are truly feeling for each other. This book will hook you from the first pages. You will fall for the Chocolate Charm. Grip will become one of your favourite book boyfriends. He is spicy and loyal. And do not forget, the story continues with Grip.
Kennedy loves to write about herself in third person. She loves Diet Coke…though she’s always trying to quit. She adores her husband…who she’ll never quit. She loves her son, who is the most special boy on the planet. And she’s devoted to supporting and serving families living with Autism.
And she writes love stories!
