NIKKI'S 5 STAR REVIEW
Loving Kate is the final book in the Acceptance Series and it was fabulous. I think this is Dee Kelly's best book to date. The Kate/Matthew/Daniel love triangle comes to an end and its an amazing one to boot. There are so many emotions in this book you'll laugh and you'll cry believe me I was heartbroken in places but it was well worth to see how these characters grow with everything that is thrown at them it really shows that in life family and friendships old and new are what matter the most and with these anything can be overcome. A beautiful epilogue to end on too. You definitely need to read these books in order. This is a series I will be recommending to everyone. I cant wait to see what Dee gives us next.
EXCERPT:
It’s crowded, but since it’s a weeknight, it’s not nearly as packed as usual. Since I’m about to lose my bull riding virginity I’m thankful for the slightly smaller crowd. As promised, Mike goes first but the ride operator isn’t as gentle on the men and he flies off pretty quickly. I think he might have wacked his balls against the hand hold on his way down. He winces a bit as he gets up.
“You okay?” I ask him, giggling, but I’m truly worried about his man parts.
He pulls me in close, his breath caressing my ear. I’m holding my breath as he whispers, “I think my baby makers are broken.” I laugh as he places a kiss on my cheek. “Good luck, baby, now go ride that bull like you’d ride me.”
He says it loud enough for everyone to hear and if I thought I was going to go deaf from the music before that was nothing compared to the whooping and hollering of the crowd. Of course the ride operator uses it to his advantage “What’s your girl’s name?” he yells across to Mike.
There’s a devious gleam in Mike’s eyes as he replies “Jessica, but all her good friends call her Jess.” He nods that he’s got it and after I’m straddled onto the bull, he holds nothing back.
“Alright, everyone, let’s hear it for our new friend Jess! Now, we all heard her boyfriend tell her to ride our bull like she rides him at home, so I think we’re in for a show.”
My cheeks were already flushed from the alcohol, my palms sweaty from nerves, but the embarrassment zinging through me makes my entire body burn. I catch Mike out of the corner of my eyes, laughing and shrugging his shoulders in a semi apology. At least he had the decency to not give my real name.
The bull starts off nice and slow, periodically gyrating a few times in a forward motion, but I’m able to hold on with just one hand. I don’t really know how long this goes on, maybe a minute or so, when I hear the announcer tell Mike over the PA system that he’s a lucky man. At this point, he’s done being nice and the bull starts bucking around like crazy. I’m able to hold it together for about another thirty seconds or so before I go flying off.
Someone helps me to my feet and I stumble over to Mike as the crowd starts chanting ‘kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss’.
Hell, at this point what does it matter? Mike’s eyes seek permission from mine as I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him close. He kisses me and the crowd goes wild. It’s just like the kiss we shared in my bed a few days ago—a little more than just friends, but not exactly like lovers. Whatever it is, I allow myself to feel it and the crowd cheers their approval.

NIKKI'S 5 STAR REVIEW
What a great read this book was D Kelly really pulled me in with these characters and i had read the book with in 24hrs.
Kathrine and Micheal are best friends aswell as lovers and they both intend on spending the rest of their lives together. That is until a family tragedy crushes their relationship and pulls them apart. Fast forward 4 years Kathrine now known as Kate goes to a party with her best friend Jess and meets Daniel is he just who Kate needs to eventually start to move on with her life after everything she has been through. Kate and Daniel attend the engagement party of a friend and Kate's life is about to shatter again when she comes face to face with another guest Mike.
I cant wait to see what happens in the next part of this story will Kate and Daniel's love for each other be strong enough to survive? This book does end on a cliffhanger but it will definitely make you thirsty for more.
Catching Kate (Book 1.5 of The Acceptanc Series)
NIKKI'S 5 STAR REVIEW
Catching Kate is a novella in the series and is told from Mike's pov. It takes us right back to the beginning of Micheal and Kathrine's friendship, we see how Micheal helped Kathrine when she needed it the most with the loss of her mother and how their relationship grow from friendship into love. This book tells us how the heartbreak that Micheal suffered tore them apart and his feelings throughout and how quickly he realised he had made the biggest mistake of his life in letting her go. Mike had made a new life for himself with new friends he sees more as brothers but has finally decided the time is right to try and win back Kathrine's heart but it wont be that easy there are surprises in store for everyone involved and not necessarily good ones and secrets that need to be told before he can finally try and get back the women who owns his heart.
NIKKI'S 5 STAR REVIEW
Wow!! Another amazing read you will definitely need tissues to hand I cried buckets. Kate has some major decisions to make will she chose Daniel or Mike? From the start I have been team Daniel and that hasn't changed but this book is told from multiple pov's and Mike did tug at my heart strings I was literally on an emotional roller-coaster throughout. I was really mad at Kate at times and didn't always agree with some of her decisions but it was her way of coping she knows that whichever way her decisions goes someone will be hurt. Again this book does end with another cliffhanger but its well worth it.
