Bad Girl: Les Pétales

(53 customer reviews)

I was a teenager when I ran away to Las Vegas determined to make it on my own in 1955. The choice was easy—stay for an ordinary marriage or escape for an extraordinary life. I took a chance on myself, trusted in fate, and boarded the bus bound for the unknown. In the glitzy glamour of the showgirl scene, I entertained the famous, the elite, and the mafia. But what I never expected was the invitation from a mysterious stranger to land at my feet and invite me to explore my darkest desires. With the mob hot on my trail,…

    As a huge fan of Kailee, I had been patiently waiting for her to give us Anna’s story and she delivered…amazingly!”Find your happy ending every single day.” Anna says this at the beginning of the book and I think after reading, you will agree she did try to do just that.In Bad Girl, Anna is exposing her life to Sal, and she tells it all, the good, the bad, and the sexy. She started out her life as a showgirl in Vegas. She knew in order to move up in the world, she would have to make strategic partnerships. Some of those partnerships were dangerous but so beneficial. Some of her acquaintances turned friend or lover, and some of them turned dangerous, so very much so. But if anything, Anna is brave, she is a fighter.With each character we meet that was a part of her past, you grow to fall in love with them. Precious Luca who had loved her so much, Wil who had seen the potential that Jake and Dr. Kerris had brought to her doorstep. And of course, Jake and Kerris each have their own merit, and while the going was sometimes tough with Jake, she stayed with him til the end. Each of them had so much to offer her, she was in a constant state of personal evolution.Even in the hard parts of her life, the ones that broke you down as a reader, Anna was able to find hope. It’s because of her enduring strength and need to prove herself that help her endure the pain. “I cried for the story I didn’t think I could change, but that was where I was wrong. Changing the story is hard.” But Anna is an ultimate Bad Girl and if anyone can come out on top, it’s her.Anna’s self-reflection is so insightful, she has helped to put a lot of pieces into place for us fans of the Juliet world that Kailee has created. When faced with a challenge, she looked at it from multiple angles, if something didn’t work, she changed it. She had a great crew to help her along the way, and she never failed to let them know she was grateful. This is such a beautiful read, and by the ending, you will find yourself made whole.

    “Patience was the golden pedestal on which everything glorious was built.”It was so much fun to get all this background information about the older players in the story. It all has to start somewhere, you know. And Anna Ford is a beautiful, wicked bad girl!”If they wanted me, they would take the new me they built because the old me wasn’t coming back.”I got literally goosebumps when I read this sentence.I love this book, which shows Anna Fords story. And I have a new admiration for her, she is so brave, headstrong and isn’t afraid of saying she thought wrong, she just shrugs and change her way of thinking. She is constantly evolving.”In thinking outside of the box, I would break the mold they had used for years. I would be seen as difficult – the odd woman out – so I needed to make d**n sure I knew what I was doing before I ever attempted to teach another with my new and improved lessons.”I love the author’s writing style, and her way of creative freedom! And I can’t wait for her to take me on the next journey!

    Let’s begin the review with this; This book is the life telling of Anna Ford, and as she says:”The chapters of life are sometimes painful and brutal. And the only one to commiserate with me in the vat of loneliness was the voice in my head reminding me of the one thing I believed in—freedom.”~AnnaNow that you know that, let me tell you a little more about Anna Ford. And she is a woman of her own level. A woman before her time almost. She had a plan for her life, a way she wanted to live it, and she wasn’t going to let anyone get in the way of it.She had her finger in a lot of pies, so to speak, but as a Vegas showgirl, you do what you gotta do for you. She wanted a better life, and she was out to get it. And one of those things she wanted was Jake.”We were unstoppable. I was the showgirl; he was the bad boy with the bullets.”~AnnaShe and Jake were a complex mix of things, over many years. Showgirl and bodyguard, friends, lovers, dominate and submissive, to a couple. Their relationship spans the line, and knows no bounds as he shows her what it meant to submit.”Fighting brought pleasure; losing brought pain.Regardless of anything else in this world, Jake was mine, and I was his.”~AnnaAnna’s life ranged many decades, and many people ran through it. Many repeating the course. I wouldn’t say her life was easy by any means, but she definitely had her pleasures in it. One more than most. One that cared beyond the spectrum of the rest. This is what defines Anna’s life. And this is the basis of her story.“At what price is it to see my dreams come to fruition?” Loves was holding his hand until the bitter end.”~Anna Ford~

    In Bad Girl we enter another dynamic chapter of the Juliet world. Anna Ford is the founder of Juliet & this is her story. We meet a young Anna who has run away to Las Veges to escape the life she did not want to live in Texas. She discovers a life that she is both exciting & dangerous. She uses it to her advantage but it involves many dangerous men. Her story evolves from those encounters in Las Vegas to time in Europe than back home to Texas. She struggles with the love she has for two men & comes to understand that they both have a place in her life but not how she pictured them. The story is told to Sal as Anna is ready to confess a long held secret about her life & her love. Once again, Sal must learn a hard truth that will shake him but ultimately make him more determined to meet his final goal.Kailee Reese Samuels has done it again by giving us Juliet fans (and soon to be Juliet fans) an indepth look into the story behind one of Juliet’s key characters. She writes with a gift to take the reader on an exploration that is full of many emotions. It is a roller coaster ride for both Anna & the reader. This book is an absolute must for read & an empowering journey for our dear Grand Dame Anna Ford. Thanks Kailee.

    I’ve wanted to know more about Anna since first reading about her in Juliet, and the Author didn’t disappoint. She wove and told the tale of Anna from a teen to later years as Anna tells Sal how it all started, from escaping an arranged marriage, going to Las Vegas, and loving two men, to Juliet. My heart broke at time for these characters, then I was amazed with Anna’s strength and determination. You will love Jake and Luca, one was the man she needed him to be, the other I don’t think quite knew how to be a proper Dom. But she loved them both and they her, how did it play out? You need to read Bad Girl and find out, and yes Anna earned that title and then some. Once again I fell in love with some characters and despised others and can’t wait for the stories of them. This Author has a way of making you see and feel everything, like it’s you taking the journey in the world of Juliet. I’m glad this story was told, now I feel more for Anna, it was not an easy life, but she lead it on her terms. I highly recommend Bad Girl and if you haven’t read Ms. Samuels’ earlier books, you will definitely want to read them, to visit Sugargrove and Juliet.

    Oh where do I start with a review of this story. Typical of Kailee Samuels, this book is a beautiful, heart-stirring read. Anna, Jake, Luca, and Sal…they all come together to weave a tale of unfolding, the unfolding of a woman named Anna Ford and her impact on the special men in her life. Good lord but this book pulled at the heart strings. I laughed, cried and shared Anna’s life story, which started out in 1955 when she was 15 and living in Las Vegas to 2015 when she was 75 and reflecting back on her life.Don’t miss out on this wonderful piece of writing. It is so worthy of your time and attention. Highly recommended.

  7. Mike


    This was my first book by this author. It was a challenge to read. I stopped multiple times to read other things. But, I always came back because I won’t start something and then not finish it no matter how difficult it is to get into and stay in the moment of the story.All that being said, the story was okay. It was just a really had story for me to read. I don’t know if it was the uneven pace, the location hopping, how indifferent I felt about the characters, or what. It was just not easy. However, I did finish it and in the end, it was a better read than many of the things I read. So, it was not a compelling read. But it wasn’t bad

  8. Em Dorsey ~A Darlin Doll ~


    “We don’t stay young and beautiful forever, but believe me when I say being a bad girl has no age limit.”I was beyond ecstatic when Ms. Samuels announced that she was writing Anna’s story. She once again amazed me with her words. The flow of the book is phenomenal. I felt like I was part of the story and that it was written specifically for me. Everything and everyone connects in some little secretive way. We are giving so much history and get to witness the birth of Juliet. Of course this wouldn’t be a Kailee Samuels book unless there were a few tears shed and a couple of mind blowing twist. Anna is brave, bold, and beautiful. Be prepared to bow down to the true queen of Juliet.“We were beautiful. We were magic. We were meant to be.”~ Read on behalf of Two Darlin Dolls and a Book Review Blog

    At the age of fifteen when her mother died, Anna didn’t wanted to be the responsible adult of her two older brothers. She decided to lie about her age and go to Vegas. Sin city.She begins living the life of a Showgirl. In the process she meets “The Suits”.“When I left Texas, I wanted not only to survive but succeed.”This is the story of Anna Ford. The story of a strong independent woman, that isn’t afraid to tell what she thinks. This book takes you through the journey of loving two men.Kailee Samuels is a brilliant author and like every time she didn’t disappoint with this amazing story. When you read Bad Girl you’ll be at the edge of your seat and you’ll feel like your part of the story. And like Kailee style be prepared for the whirlwind of emotions.

    I want to be Anna when I grow up. This book right here is the book for every lost soul. Every book KRS writes brings me joy. Some unlock a piece of my heart that I had no clue was bound and chained. But Bad Girl. Bad Girl surpasses everything. It is a book you will read over and over just to find all the hidden gems. To rediscover all the beauty and magic as if for ths first time. This book is an elegant, finely crafted masterpiece. I’ve loved Anna since day 1, but to see her roots to see her shining soul, it was an honour.

  11. Scott Ryan


    Well, damn. Plenty of romancing happening here, mixed with some old fashioned pragmatism, and a healthy dose of seize the moment! Was nice to get the backstory of a number of others in Sal’s world, too. But the main reason to read this? If you are a fan of Kailee Samuels, you will know why, and somewhat what to expect. Mostly.

  12. Angela Thomas


    Grab a glass of wine & settle in as we go back in time through the life of Anna Ford, The Original Bad Girl. A beautiful story of Anna’s life experiences, love, & how Juliet came to be. It was so much fun getting the story of the players that started it all.

  13. JV816


    This book is kind of a spin off from another series from this author. Not having read the those books, I was a little confused but overall enjoyed the book. It was written differently than pretty much all books I read. It was a telling of Anna Ford’s story told in her voice as she is talking to someone else. It was the someone else that confused me mainly because I really didn’t know who he was or how he tied into the story until the very end. Overall, it was a joy to read and I loved all of the ups and downs of Anna.

  14. Geegina


    Kailee Reese really knows how to write a story that keeps you turning the pages. The darkness, the turns, adventure and love all wrapped up in a book that you just can’t put down!She gives us Anna’s story as she is telling it to Sal. We learned her struggles when she moved to Vegas and what really shaped her to be the woman that she becomes.I enjoyed this book, learning about Anna’s past was something that I was looking forward to and I was not disappointed.4 Stars read!!

  15. Kindle Customer


    This is now my second favorite book. Anna is the epitome of someone who does their own thing and doesn’t care what others think. In true Kailee fashion you’re going to laugh, ugly cry, swoon, cry again and then it all wraps up into a beautiful ending the just fits. You’ll also fall in love with Luca and Jake, maybe even Ryu. Once again she had hit all the right chords and made beautiful music.

  16. Wendy Livingstone


    This is the story of Anna Ford which gives a background of her life experiences from a teenager, to showgirl and beyond which lead to creating Juliet. Anna tells her story as it is, the good, bad, and sexy times, and well as the love of not one but two men. This is a beautifully written masterpiece, which is filled with love, lust, emotion, courage, depravity, and passion. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I cannot wait to read more from this talented author, whose work I always highly recommend for all.

    I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.This book is broody and powerful! You NEED to READ! This BDSM erotic romance is about a woman named Anna Rebecca Ford, a Las Vegas showgirl and the men in her life. This story is told from Anna’s POV to Salvatore Raniero and her involvement with a young mobster and an intruder—one she needed to protect her and one she loved. Anna ran away from home at eighteen and went to Vegas where she became a showgirl. As the cliché goes—what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! Well, we all know there is usually more to the story. Vegas took Anna on one hell of a roller coaster ride! Her journey is full of deception, hurt, murder, suspense, deceit, lies, secrets, mistresses, intrigue, and love will keep you glued to the pages of this book. “Death was never easy; loving was always hard.” Some of the characters you will find yourself falling in love with and some you will hate. I wasn’t expecting the turn this story took; it has quite an unexpected revelation that may leave you flabbergasted but it is jaw-dropping good! Not all of its surprises are pleasant ones, but there is a certain satisfaction in experiencing a thread that is so obstinately unexpected. Kailee Samuels manages to weave a diabolical plot that has twists and turns—some you see coming, some you don’t that makes it interesting!

    Anna Ford’s life is a journey to Hell and back. The life lessons she learns fulfill her dream and some of her nightmares.Kailee Reese Samuels is an outstanding Author who can submerge you into a storyline and leave you weeping for more.This book is no exception, she takes you on a journey so incredibly intriguing that you just can’t put it down. You (I) needed to know how the story continued, especially when names brought up dragged more questions to my mind. But this Author answered those questions and more!This book is full of incredible characters with stories that surprise and entrance. The life of Anna Ford was not an easy life, but it was a full life and an emotionally filled one.Anna’s life was one educational adventure after another.From leaving home at the age of 15 to go to Vegas and achieve so much as a Showgirl, falling into bed with the “Suits”. To France with Jake Ballister whose love is more than she ever thought.

    “Happy endings are all about perspective”How does someone describe the complete beauty of a story and all its chilling feelings? Just read Kailee’s books and you will discover she doesn’t just do it once but every single time and they just keep getting better and more unforgettable. Set in the Juliet world, Bad Girl is the story of headmistress Anna Ford. It begins when Anna is a young girl not wanting to follow her father’s rules but wanting to make her own so she finds her way to Las Vegas and becomes a showgirl. Making choices to live on her own, she gets involved with different men called “the suits” who are mobsters and quickly realizes that they can be very dangerous. The story is told as a letter to Sal explaining how and why she did everything to survive, made her dreams come true and get to where she is now so he would understand and lead on to find his own happiness and be head Master Raniero. Anna’s journey of wanting independence is one of abuse, self discovery, heartbreak, love, sacrifice and the true meaning of the word submission. From the hot steamy romance to the tear jerking love of not one but two droll worthy dominant men, Anna took the reins and lead on her way. She is totally Queen badass!! Love, love Anna, this story and this entire world of Sal.

    What can I say yet again Kailee has knocked the wind out of me with another amazing book!!!!This story follows Anna Ford who we have come to know and love from her first appearance in Juliet to now following her back story as she tells it to none other than our very own Sal. Her life as a Vegas showgirl as a teenager all the way through working with mob bosses and then falling in love with not only one Dom but two Dom’s Luca and Jake, to eventually coming back to sugar grove and giving us what we now know as her school Juliet!!Boy do not get me started on Luca I think I am in love with him no there is no thinking about it I know I love this character so much!!!! (but not as much as I love Sal) we get to see a few well known characters again in this book chance being one as we see him as a child in this story, I didn’t even see it coming when Anna told Sal who chance’s father was in the end.Again another brilliant book by my unicorn author, I cannot wait to see and read what’s coming next 2019 is gonna be an amazing year and I’m definitely on the Kailee train for sure and I’m soooo not getting off at all!!!!

    Anna’s story takes us back in time and we get to find out what happened in her past and how she became Juliet. It’s a dark, gripping novel filled with action, danger, suspense, steamy scenes, romance and twists that left me speechless. The writing is beautiful, the characters are intriguing, and I rooted for Anna every step of the way. As always with Kailee Samuels books I had trouble putting it down which meant we had take out for dinner because I didn’t want to stop reading. I loved this book and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a fantastic book to read. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

  22. Garden girl


    Love, lust, longing, courage: just some of the emotions and characteristics of this wonderful ‘autobiography’ of Anna Ford Ballister as told to the joy that is Salvatore Raniero. Spanning decades, we are brought a tale of intrigue, machinations, deviancy and strong will, that weaves a magic all its own. Anna’s tale, in which she grabs life by the neck and shakes out all possible opportunities, is fascinating. Her world of showgirls and Suits, brings to her, her great loves. She, usually, deftly and dangerously, juggles everything that comes her way, but can also take solace, advice, love and the gift of friendship, when it is offered, whether it be from intruders, the up and coming man or headmistresses. Such a wonderfully, richly realised and expanding world, brought to us by a master storyteller.Anna lives life with guts, courage, style and panache. She would intimidate the bejesus out me with her strength and bravado!All her lovers are captured in a manner which brings layer upon layer to her story; Jake and Luca are portrayed in all their wonderful deviancy, each claiming an essential part of Anna’s, and our, hearts.This book…it weaves its magic through beautifully realised, and used, words and images, the coinage of a skilled writer, one which Kaillee Samuels wields with ever increasing mastery

  23. Dani Marlowe


    Kailee Reese Samuels did a great job on Bad Girl, the story was well written and had a great plot with many emotions. Anna, Jake, Luca, and Sal were great characters. This is the story of of Anna, who has been through a lot. She’s a fighter. I enjoyed her story.This was a great story. Thank you, Kailee Reese Samuels. Great work 🙂

  24. Tamra Simons


    I’m in awe of the author and her ability to suck you in and hold you enthralled with her characters and storylines. This author is a multi-facet gem when it comes to the written word.Anna Ford Ballister’s life story is full of a woman’s courage to flee her circumstances and go on to fulfil her own life’s desires. This woman is full of heart and determination as she turns those life dreams into reality.Anna’s journey is raw, full of grit and unbelievably passionate. I couldn’t help but love and respect this woman she truly has brass balls, “yes I said it” Anna is a strong-willed woman who takes no less than she deserves and uses those who would and are using her to gain what they want from her or her from them. Truly a woman after my own heart.This story is so flawlessly written I can’t possibly tell you about it, what I can say is this…you must experience for the full effect, as this book will have an effect on you. It did me!Reviewed by Momma Hellmouth of Hellmouth’s Bookblog

    Every time I pick up KRS book I’m blown away by the imagination and creativity that flows through her stories. The story of Anna Ford is no exception, her life after she runs away from being stuck in an arranged marriage and an ordinary life is anything but ordinary! This to me was a coming of age story where Anna ran to the glitz & glam of being a coverted Las Vegas showgirl to the original Juliet school in France and everything in between.. we saw her love and be loved, we also saw her vulnerability and we saw her blossom into the bad girl she was always meant to be. With Jake, Luca & Sal all major players in the life that is Anna Ford. KRS thank you for giving us another fabulous insight into the wonderful world that is your imagination.

    Bad Girl is full of emotions, up and downs, twist and turns and characters that you can’t help but love!Bad Girl is about Anna Ford and her journey 1955-2015, starting st age 15. Her story is full of heartache, courage, lust and many other emotions. Her story will tug and your heartstrings – you’ll laugh and cry along the way.Anna tells us her story of how she goes from 15 year old call girl all the way to how Juliet come about and you all was involved with making it happen. Not everything is easy and beautiful on her journey. With risky decisions, hard choices and challenges along the way, Anna’s story kept me on the edge of my seat in suspense.I really enjoyed reading Anna’s story and couldn’t help but loving all of the characters that I met through her.

  27. jwm


    I was so happy to have a book about Anna! She’s such a feisty, strong woman who lead an incredible life. Her story is being told to Sal in 2015 and is told in a first person with some scenes of Anna taking directly to Sal.Anna runs away from home at 15 to Vegas. She becomes a showgirl and is basically prostituted out to the various mafia bosses of the 1950’s. She gets in bed both literally and figuratively with different crime families through her life. Sometimes it works out, other times she pays the price. She learns of BDSM during her life, falls in love a few times, and learns so much. My heart ached for her through this story, but she remained true to herself and her goals throughout.Fantastic tale, and very well written! Thank you for this story.

  28. SIMATSU


    Wow! I am blown away! This is a masterpiece. Anna is brilliant. At some times I had to remind myself that this was a story created by someone. The ingenuity in the conversations and descriptions of the scenery was magnificent. This is unique story told from the perspective of different characters. It is dark, sexual and romantic. There is love on varying levels that march through Anna’s life that serve different purposes. She is a fierce and feisty character who embraces her sexuality with no excuses. It is definitely not for the feint of heart but if you want to have a really great and pleasurable reading experience this is definitely the book for you.

  29. 75_SweetestBook


    Wow this is a fantastic read that will have you hooked and not able to put your reading devices down. This book was very emotional and dark and full of friendship that has amazing twists to this story. I loved this story as i had a heart pounding read throughout this book. I had a very major book hangover at the end as I couldn’t get in to another book for the night and i was able to see the emotions and scenery throughout the read.

  30. Kim Jones


    Omg what a story! I loved reading the back story on Anna. There were so many things I didn’t know about her and how she came to be the woman she is. Jake is my second favorite man, he loved Anna with all he was….and then there was Luca who is my third man….I think if things would have been different in his life he and Anna would have been together but then the story wouldn’t have been as great as it is. The chemistry with these 3 was off the chart hot! I so love reading about these characters and I love how the name Juliet came about for the school. I can’t wait to see what is coming next!

  31. Jaime Reynolds


    Talk about a story that rips open your emotions and leaves you wanting more. I found myself sucked in the midst of a triangle of love, hurt and angst between Lucas, Jake and Anna. One minute you are taking in the passion of these characters and the next crying due to an unexpected turn of events. Then again when you read these stories you should always expect the unexpected. Another amazing and brilliant story that continues the Sal journey. Cannot wait to see what she comes up with next.

  32. Jenny B


    I absolutely devoured Anna’s story. I found her to be such a strong and empowering character who has fought through every thing. This provided so much back ground to a character I was so excited to read more about and did not disappoint in the least. This book had remarkable twists and turns and captured my attention completely.I would love to have an ounce of her strength and character and felt this to be such an incredible read

  33. KC


    Epic love story and a new heroine to admire, the story of Anna Ford is a timeless tale. Although set in the past, the story is relevant in contemporary times. Breaking every type of bias – gender, era, cultural, orientation, age – this is a must-read story for all.You will not only fall in love with Anna, but your heart will soar, break, mend, and grow with all of her suitors. You will be in awe of her capacity love and see the love reciprocated. Nothing is conventional in this story and therein lies the beauty of Bad Girl.

  34. Tianna


    Another enticing story from Ms Samuels. The look into Anna and her past along with the many layers that will eventually make all of Juliet and our beloved Sal helps you with some answers. However with this women, the more answers you get, the more questions you have. I’m so intrigued by this story and how it will reveal itself in the end. Kailee Samuels has given me new venues to explore for sure.

  35. Jenny Trowler


    Wow… I’m struggling to put into words what I feel about this book. This is the story of Anna Ford. Its a very dark and emotional read that will have you gripped from the very first page. There are twists and turns to this book but I couldn’t put it down. I feel like my heart has been ripped out and stamped on… an absolutely amazing read from an amazing author. If I could give 10 stars it would not be enough…. LOVED IT…

  41. Nathalia Best


    When I read Juliet I knew I loved Anna Ford, and knew she had a story to tell, but baby I was not prepared for it. Young Anna has blown my mind and I couldn’t be happier about it. I have fallen in love with yet another of KRS books. If I’m wrong I promise you I don’t want to be right.

  42. Jenna Bostick


    I don’t even know where to begin. I absolutely adored the story of Anna’s beginning. I had so many different emotions about the triangle of Anna, Jake, and Luca. From absolutely adoration to literally asking out loud “WTF”. Kailee did it again with drawing the reader in and holding them captive from start to finish. Cannot wait to continuing Sal’s story!!!

  43. nicole Townsend brown

The characters are kinky, dark, and delicious. Amazing. Get this read now. So kinky it will melt your kindle. Great read. Fantastic characters.

  44. Nan3G


    This is a very interesting look into the life of Anna. Looking into all the stuff she got into through her life will almost make you jealous. To get to the good in life you always have to learn from the bad and that Anna definitely showe us. Highly recommend.

    Omg, Kailee never ceases to amaze me. So Bad Girl did not disappoint. I did feel feel bad for Anna, Jake, and Luca, but that’s all you’re going to get from me. Thank you again Kailee Reese Samuels for doing a great job again!!

    This story of Anna’s past experiences is quite engaging and entertaining. This brings a depth to her story that I didn’t know I needed. I love how we’re going back and shining a light in dark corners, peeling layers, and baring souls.

    I love, love, love Anna’s story. So many questions kept popping up in my mind as I read the book. I couldn’t put it down. At times I wasn’t even sure she would make it to the end. I especially loved how she spoke to Sal. So ready for more.

    I adore Kailee’s books…and Bad Girl does not disappoint!!! It’s a story that needed to be told, and it’s told so well. Learning about Anna gives Juliet more meaning, You’ll find yourself unable to walk away from Anna’s tale, and the beautiful weaving of words that only Kaliee can accomplish.

    Kailee you knocked it out of the park once again with another amazing book! You see Anna grow from 15 to 75 and learn so much about her.

    Dark, emotional, erotic, with twists and unexpected turns for a non stop read. Definitely going to read more by this author who left me speechless and needing more.

    I’m in awe of Anna!
    After I finished Big Girl, I had only one remaining question: Can this author’s work get any better? I’m in awe of KRS’ words, of this book, in awe of Anna.I’ve always loved this character since I met her in The Initiation, but now? Her independance, strength, determination and maturity make of her one of the most fascinating heroine I have ever read.Her playfulness. Her freedom. Her ambition. Her intelligence. Each one of her traits was so endearing I connected with her from the start and found myself utterly immersed in her world, in Vegas sparkling casinos, in the old chateau in France and in the debris and renovations in Texas.BIG GIRL is the proof (if you even needed one) that you can’t impose yourself limits as to what YOU THINK you want and don’t want to read; you just have to trust Kailee Reese Samuels to let the words flow and lead you through her characters’ feelings. The justess of the tone and emotions is fabulous. It’s at turns (and sometimes all at once), beautiful and magic, raw and painful, sweet and gentle. I cried, hurt with Anna, laughed and smiled, felt her guilt, and passion.Anna’s story is about love, painful, tragic, epic, impossible. But most of all about finding the freedom she has always needed. She made errors, experiences, met a lot of people but never lost her fire and who she was. It’s what I loved the most about her story. Even in her submission, she still found a way to show who she was. This emotional rollercoaster will break and heal you. And again. Its exquisite sensuality, its artistic erotism will leave you craving for more, its intensity will draw you in, but as always with this author, can you guess where you’re going to end up at? The depth of all the characters combined with the depth of the storyline is brilliantly handled. To watch Anna play in this Man’s World, and make herself a place into it, is a treat like no other. Find out how Juliet came to life, how early on everything started, and you will come back for more; with an ending like this one, you will have no other choice!!!

    Interesting read
    Back in time to find out Anna Ford’s story, reading this it is all starting to fall into place. You find out how Anna, was in love with Sals pops and that she was his mistress. Y definitely need to read these books in order, which u can download from Kailee’s site, none of them are in order you would think they would be in.
