Breathe by Kristen Ashley is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOKS - so when I heard that we were getting a continuation with Deck (Chace's best private investigator friend) I was OVER. THE. MOON. I always know that with Kristen Ashley I'm going to get a smart, sexy, sensitive, alpha guy. Jacob Decker (Deck) definitely did not disappoint in Kaleidoscope (book 6 in the Colorado Mountain Series).Jacob is called in to the Gnaw Bone on special assignment for the local police department. Working in conjunction with Chace he is tasked with bringing down a burglary ring that has been victimizing residents. The moment he hears Emme's voice Jacob recognizes the blast from the past. Only this time he isn't going to let Emme walk away with his heart, leaving him only with a kaleidoscope."Been to some interesting places, Emme, baby, and that has always been with me." ~Jacob Decker, Kaleidoscope by Kristen AshleyEmme has always secretly loved Jacob. Unfortunately something has always been in the way of their love story. Until Now. Emme isn't the same girl she was back then. Now she has a new confidence to go after what she wants. What she wants (and has always wanted) is Jacob Decker.I really love a good friends to lovers story. Emme and Jacob were great friends. It was easy for them to catch up and fall right into place even after so many years. They had the same interests and had fun just being together. They didn't have to go do anything fancy to have a good time together. I loved all the little quirks - how Emme was the only one who called him Jacob instead of his nickname Deck, and how Jacob came in and started making sure Emme was safe in her huge home renovation project."His eyes lit with warmth and humor and I lost my fascination with his lashes because I'd seen that look in his eyes frequently when he was with me but I'd never seen it that close and it was so beautiful, I wanted to hold onto that moment for eternity." ~Emme, Kaleidoscope by Kristen AshleyThis book was somewhat light on the mystery and action we normally find in Kristen Ashley books but I only missed it a bit. The sweetness of the book overshadowed the loss and made for a great book. Emme and Jacob both have past heartache to overcome but together they heal each other and rediscover a great friendship and an even greater love. 4 Stars for Kaleidoscope!"I don't know where I would be right now without you... you have to know, you have to know that I'd be alone, lost alone forever, if I didn't have you." ~Emme, Kaleidoscope by Kristen Ashley
