The Line Trilogy by Kimberly Kincaid is a series popping with characters, who pull us in, push us forward, and leave us begging for more. Using food as a connecter, seducer, and teaser, Kimberly brings her characters together in a sensual, seductive, and romantic way that causes us to fall in love right alongside them. Each novella works well as a stand-alone but I highly recommend them be read in order to truly appreciate the delicious splendor of this romance trilogy.LOVE ON THE LINE by Kimberly Kincaid is fast-paced, character-driven, filled with desire driven tension, and mouthwatering delicious kitchen events. Kimberly treats us to, not only a wonderful story and a passionate couple, but also takes our culinary imaginations on a trip through delicious meals that will have you thinking about raiding the icebox. She also tacks on one of the recipes featured as a meal that Violet and Noah cook together. A special treat.DRAWING THE LINE by Kimberly Kincaid catches hold of the reader on the very first page and doesn't let go until you see those words, THE END. However, don't shut your reader off yet because then she treats you to a delicious recipe that if you're like me, you're going to want to try out.Kimberly weaves a romance filled with sexual tension that will have you itching for one of them to make the first move. When it finally happens, you'll find yourself cheering Serenity on as she captures the heart and full attention of Jason Morgan, a cop who always says the job comes first. We are also treated to reappearances by Noah Blackwell and Violet Morgan so things stay interesting as each puts in their two cents and eventually gets to give Jason one of those ever satisfying, "I told you so" moments. Fast-paced, tension driven, with a few gotcha moments, this is one you'll wish kept going.OUTSIDE THE LINES by Kimberly Kincaid is an excellent continuation of the series, and Blake and Jules are meant for each other. We met both these wonderful people in the second novella of the series, DRAWING THE LINE. Jules is Serenity's best friend and second in command at Mac's Diner and Blake is the handsome doctor that took care of Serenity after she was banged on the head by the bad guy.I adore second chance romances and this one is exceptional. This couple fights their own desires, their own pasts, the memory of their happy past together that ended in heartache, while being cheered on by the greatest of characters - Blake's cousin, Aaron. He is a hoot. Kimberly hooked me again with her spontaneity, her integration of food as a memory teaser and seduction tool, and the reinforcement that when two people are meant to be together even the wickedest of family can be convinced that it's what's meant to be. She even gave me some tearful moments - nothing like falling in love a second time. And you will with this generous and kind-hearted food connoisseur, and a sexy doctor who will have you thinking up reasons to visit an emergency room to see if there's one available for you. Oh, and be sure to check out the yummy recipe at the end. To die for!That's the thing about reading a Kimberly Kincaid novella, they are as delicious as the recipes she shares at the end and you can't stop with just one.***I purchased the first and second, then I was provided the third from the author as part of a blog tour, but all were reviewed honestly and unscripted.
