Can a touch of Satin bring a straight copper to his knees?

Detective Joel Hunter is on surveillance when he first lays eyes on Satin, the singer with the amazing voice, which is as beautiful as she is. But when the stake-out comes to an end, he can't resist going back to the bar. He gets a shock when he learns what lies beneath the satin dress, but an even bigger one when he realizes he's attracted to the owner of that sultry voice - Ross Dauntry.

Ross can't figure out why the cop keeps coming back, even after he's learned the truth. Is Joel attracted to him, or to Satin? Because the answer is important, and one way or another, Ross needs to know...

A standalone novella of satin and sensuality...

Although this story is in the same series as Lace, you will not find Dave and Shawn in these pages - Joel and Ross provide enough heat of their own.


Carra's Review

One of the things I like best about KC Wells’ writing is her characters.  I know I can pick up one of her books and be assured of finding well written characters who portray plenty of emotion, are realistic, and who will experience growth during their story.  Here in Satin, that’s just as true as ever with Joel and Ross—and particularly with Joel.

Joel has always been with women previously.  He may have cast an eye towards attractive men before, but never acted on anything since he never felt anything to act upon.  His character is the one who goes through the most growth during this story, and while I normally am fine with a good dose of angst with characters who have an internal battle going on as they come to terms with their sexuality, I was actually glad that this time around the process was much easier with Joel.  He approached the situation unsure with what he was experiencing, and whether it was just curiosity or maybe something more, but gets to undergo that “a-ha!” moment when he realizes just exactly what’s important to him.

Ross, a female impersonator, is an incredibly talented man and one who seems totally comfortable with who he is.  I really loved his character, and wanted so much for him to get everything he deserved both professionally and personally.  As for him and Joel together—their chemistry is fantastic and the physical scenes between them had me reaching for my always-present ice-cold drink I have on hand when reading a KC Wells book.  Like the scene in the studio.  Yeah, you just let me know what you thought about that one when you get to it ;-)

While I get that some readers may find Joel’s mostly easy acceptance of his relationship with Ross as convenient and maybe not realistic, I think that yes—sometimes it really is just that simple for some people, and honestly for me I found this to be just right in terms of his and Ross’s relationship.  It just worked for me, and even with the bit of turbulence that eventually came into play it still came across as believable…and I was cheering for the two of them the entire way.


Satin was a 4.5-star read for me, and I would definitely recommend it to any M/M romance fan.  It completely stands on its own in the series, so you don’t need to have read Lace in order to enjoy this story.  Satin is meant strictly for readers 18+ for adult language and sexual content.



Author Bio

Born and raised in the north-west of England, K.C. WELLS always loved writing. Words were important. Full stop. However, when childhood gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got in the way. K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, when the purchase of a ménage storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in love was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life led to the desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger discovery waited in the wings-writing about men in love was even hotter...

K.C. now writes full-time and is loving every minute of her new career. The laptop still has no idea of what hit it... it only knows that it wants a rest, please. And it now has to get used to the idea that where K.C goes, it goes.

And as for those men in love that she writes about? The list of stories just waiting to be written is getting longer... and longer...

K.C. loves to hear from readers.
