Viviana, Enchantress of Books and I are pleased to welcome Kai Kennicott to the blog today.
Kai Kennicott is a
Narrator
Book Enthusiast
Lover of Candles and Fancy Cheese
Kai Kennicott believes that everything should be done in moderation, even moderation in moderation. She, however, has not taken this to heart in her voice over career. With over 130 audiobooks available for sale, being moderate has taken a back seat to her insatiable appetite for consuming, telling, and enjoying ebooks. Kai started her narration career as a three year old diva who tried stealing every bit of limelight she could as her dad helplessly tried to steer the VHS camcorder away to record what they were having for dinner that night. Since then, Kai has been enamored with performing and storytelling. From the days of first picking up Julie Garwood, Kai Kennicott has been a huge romance fan and an even bigger book nerd. She is so ecstatic that her passion has become her life’s work. She takes pride in the opportunity of becoming a narrator and is unbelievably humbled that people listen to her voice overs.

The Truth About Lennon
By K.L. Grayson
Lennon Barrick-St. James is making headlines as New York City’s hottest new socialite. Only she isn’t new at all. One well-intentioned night gone horribly wrong has landed the daughter of vice presidential candidate Christopher St. James on the front page of every newspaper and magazine in the country.
Forced by her father to stay out of the limelight, Lennon flees to the quiet town of Heaven, Texas, where she vows to lie low and avoid men. Well, except for the sexy biker she just ran off the road—she definitely won’t be avoiding him.
Noah Cunningham already has one girl in his life, and he sure as hell doesn’t need another. Especially the beautiful and sinfully sweet angel that just descended upon the quiet little town he calls home.
The only problem is that the more time he spends with Lennon, the more he wants to be with her. And that’s just not going to work for Noah. He’s already been burned once, and he’s not so sure he’s ready to go down that road again.
Noah has spent the last five years putting his life back together after secrets and lies ripped it apart. So what will happen when he learns the truth about Lennon?
Decadent Dreams
Nico
My dreams haunt me. I feel as if I am falling into a pit of impending doom, but even that has not prepared me for the rollercoaster of emotions that flood over me when I’m near Phoenix. I have to keep my distance from her. I need to. It’s the only thing I can do to keep from getting hurt again. Staying away from her proves to be a much harder task than I could have ever imagined. She’s not only my assistant, but she’s half my age. She gets under my skin and irritates the shit out of me, yet, one smile, one laugh, and I’m melting into a puddle at her feet. Falling in love with her is a bad idea, a very bad idea, because she just may be the one person who breaks my heart for good this time.
Phoenix
Nico is my boss. He’s demanding, bitter, brooding, and a downright bully at times. But, all that doesn’t deter me from him at all because I can see kindness and compassion in his eyes. I know the secret he’s keeping from everyone and why he’s so guarded with his heart. I don’t care about his secret, nor do I care that he’s twice my age. What matters is the undeniable attraction we feel for each other. If only he can just let go of the past and see what’s right in front of him.
