Review: Kia & Sampson
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 15, 2013
Kia is married to her high school sweetheart who quickly stops being the football stud & becomes an overweight, violent man. When she finds out that he has been cheating on her Kia isn't surprised, but the other husband catches them in the act and shoots him. Kia suddenly finds herself with a load of life insurance money & the world at her feet! While she travels the world she slowly comes to terms with her husband's death & feels like an imposter floating through Europe in fancy dresses & high heels. That is when she meets Sampson, an ex-pro football player that Kia has had a crush on for years. Kia's dead husband and his mistress had plans for getting rid of Kia, plans that are still in effect & Sam will not leave Kia's side, trying to protect her. I figured Kia was the one battling demons but Sam has some major issues of his own. He not only lost his brother but he also lost his best friend. He is quite aggressive with Kia which I didn't like at all, and she seems like a doormat! You'd think after years of abuse she would not put up with secrets & lies. Sam leaves her for a job, all of sudden, very cold to her and finally Kia has had enough! The first half of the book was amazing but Sam's attitude in the second half royally ticked me off. Kia has put every honest detail of her life on display for him but he continues to hold back from her. Sam finally gets his head out of his butt and chases Kia, redeeming him at least a little bit. They do end up having their happily ever after, living by the ocean, Sam running the local high school football team.
