Oh Kristen...your books speak to my soul. I loved "Creed" as much as all the others. Thank you! ( )

Adult Contemporary Romance
4.75 true stars.
Although the sensuality is very hot and steamy, I don't think it goes far enough to be labeled Erotic.
My Smashwords copy had typos in one section.
There are a few areas that are a bit repetitive. Everything else was awesome.
The main characters, Creed and Sylvie are well developed. Their story is full of triumph over devastating circumstances. I found both characters very interesting and a lot of fun to read about.
True soul mates that could have been crushed by life, but fought for themselves and each other. There is courage, strength, and undying love on every page.

I actually found this one to be better written than all of the others I've read by this author. Perhaps it is because it is a new book rather than a dusted off old one. Anyway the progression of the story was a lot more clear much less rambling. Even though there were plenty of flashbacks they were structured in a perfectly accessible manner. There was a lot less of the weird talking patterns the heroes usually use. And at least the heroine used full sentences. I really enjoyed the story and plot and it mostly made sense. I had no problem with the hero and his rationale for leaving the heroine for 16 years although a case could have been made for him checking up on her. I loved how he had refused to love anyone else for all that time and the fact that he had her name etc., tattooed on his back. One of my favorites from KA. ( )

Skimmed pretty much the whole thing. It just wasn’t what I was expecting I guess. The description sounded great but it is like a wish on a genie lamp, I got way more than I wanted or bargained for and not in a good way. ( )

Creed is the second book in the Unfinished Hero series. The story opens with Sylvie finding out that her former lover, Creed has been hired by her boss, Knight to help find out who has been causing problems in his business. Sylvie has worked for Knight for a while and has been everything from security to investigator, but she loses her cool when she finds out that Creed is going to be back in her life. Sylvie and Creed met when both of them are very young. When their relationship ended, Sylvie was devastated. She can't face seeing him again after 16 years apart.
As always, Kristen Ashley has created memorable characters leading interesting lives full of angst and emotion, and this came through clearly in this book. The story however was not as interesting. The issue with Knight's business is resolved fairly early in the story making it difficult to understand why Creed is still around. In addition, the conflict between Creed and Sylvie is also settled fairly early in the book. Issues arise in the book that seem easily solved, leaving the feeling that the story never really takes off. Overall, a fairly weak entry in the Unfinished Hero series. ( )
