He Said Together is the most recent release of this series and I have been anticipating this book so badly, ever since I was introduced to our hero, Kal. He is such an interesting mix of reserve, intellect and determination. I wasn’t sure what to quite expect from his book as I was expecting lots of angst, but it actually didn’t prove to be quite as angsty as I was imagining it to be. Kal is a hero who is a fierce protector of family. Kal works as a male stripper to bring in the income to provide for his family and work to bring together his dream of working with the oceans. Then on his job, he rescues a young innocent woman who is in need of a friend and protector who shares his passion for protecting the oceans. But what we see here builds upon the friendship that Kal and Jade form into something deeper. But there are secrets and fears that Kal has, and they might destroy the bond between himself and Jade.
I found this story to be quite an interesting one that became so easy to be invested in. There is something different about Ruth Cardello’s contemporary romances that just speak to me in a different way than any other contemporaries I read. The writing is quick and easy, but the character growth is on par and you realize what a beautiful story this turns into here. Even though there are aspects of Jade’s character I just couldn’t understand at times. I wanted to love her so much more and it just didn’t quite happen as I felt like she could have had more faith in Kal and I didn’t understand her reservations about him. But I did love seeing his family become involved especially Dominic. Oh my goodness, I loved how he interefers here and there is a reason that his character is one of my favorites in this world. He is so full of love even if he goes about it in unique ways. But I enjoyed his involvement, as it really aided in bringing Jade and Kal together at the right time that just felt right for them. I was drawn into the romance that builds between Kal and Jade.
Overall I found He Said Together to be a compelling read that worked for me in so many ways. It offers delights, laughter, poignant emotion and family bonds to be endeared to.
