You don’t know when…
You don’t get to choose if…
When it’s time to join…you’ll know.

You might think you want to be a memberβ€”but trust me this is one club you don’t want to join. It’s not a place where people go to live out their deepest, darkest sexual desiresβ€”there are no handcuffs or blindfolds.

The 27 Club only admits those who die young and tragically. My brother was recently bestowed membership and joined many of our ancestors before him. I know I’m next. This is my destiny, and I was ready to yield.

But then I met Nate. He awakened a sensuality in me that had never been explored, never satisfied. I knew then I could no longer accept my destiny. Nate’s presence controls me. I’m overwhelmed by his touch, his words; my every thought is consumed by desire. I believe he was brought into my life for a reason.

Nate doesn’t believe in destiny.

But I do.

And if there’s a way to cheat itβ€”I must.

Shannon’s Thoughts

THE 27 CLUB was a book that surprised me a couple of times. Β From the blurb, I assumed the 27 club was a BDSM club. Β Then I started the book and realized that wasn’t what it was at all. Β Then, after letting go of the BDSM thing, it showed up again and threw me, because that was not at all what I saw happening. Β Normally that would bother me, but I’ve learned that when reading a Kim Karr book, I need to let things happen and not get distracted with whatever preconceived notions I may have had going in.

Zoey Flowers heads to South Florida thinking her life is being dictated by a family “curse”, just like her older brother Zach’s was. Β When she gets to Florida, she meets Zach’s best friend Nate. Β They both fight against their own beliefs in destiny and fate as they fight with their attraction to one another. Β  Β It’s not pretty, as they end up hurting each other at various times throughout the story. But as much as they hurt each other, they hurt themselves too as they either fight against fate or run towards it.

Kim Karr takes us on an emotional journey with this story. Β Zoey and Nate have a mountain of emotional baggage to sift through to finally get to a place where they can move forward. Β It’s not an easy journey, but when they come out on the other side, it makes for a satisfying ending.

About Kim Karr

I live in Florida with my husband and four kids. I’ve always had a love for reading books and writing. Being an English major in college, I wanted to teach at the college level but that was not to be. I went on to receive an MBA and became a project manager until quitting to raise my family. I currently work part-time with my husband and full-time embracing one of my biggest passionsβ€”writing.

I am a lover of alpha males with dirty mouths, strong heroines putting alpha males in their place, and the Chicago Blackhawks. I'm a proud hockey mom who can often be found at the hockey rink cheering on my favorite forward, with my kindle close by.
