McKenna possesses a unique talent of inviting readers in and painting a hazy picture that reflects the romantic backdrop of Paris. The intimate setting, the lush surroundings and the bare emotions of these two individuals feel achingly sweet and private, yet I’m entranced, not able to look away. ~ Under the Covers
In CONFESSION, we are back to Caroly’s POV and although I much prefer Didier’s, I thought McKenna picked the most suitable POV for what happens in this book. Readers finally get what they have been anticipating – Didier professes his love for Caroly and it is perfection! The rising anticipation and Caroly’s uncertainty all makes for a wonderful experience and Didier’s words are simply to die for. Achingly sweet and vulnerable, Didier bares his entire heart and the fact that Caroly is stunned and giddy makes me smile every time. I love that neither of them feels worthy of one another or that they can’t understand what the other sees desirable because that to me means there’s still so much they can learn about each other and it’s only the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
As I read this story and all the vignettes previous to this, I felt like a voyeur, a stranger looking into someone’s most intimate and private moments. McKenna possesses a unique talent of inviting readers in and painting a hazy picture that reflects the romantic backdrop of Paris. The intimate setting, the lush surroundings and the bare emotions of these two individuals feel achingly sweet and private, yet I’m entranced, not able to look away. This entire series has a certain allure that is unique and inexplicable. Caroly and Didier’s relationship is the ultimate love story and it’s not even close to being done.
CONFESSION is searing love story that is both sweet and sexy. It is Romance in all its glory. With stellar writing, well-developed characters and a very, very strong romance, this is not a series to be missed!

About Cara McKenna
Cara McKenna writes smart erotica—sexy stories with depth. A little dark, a little funny, always emotional. She also writes red-hot romance under the name Meg Maguire. Her wonderful publishers are Ellora's Cave, Harlequin Blaze, Loose-Id, Penguin / Intermix, Samhain, and Signet Eclipse. She loves writing sexy, character-driven stories about strong-willed men and women who keep each other on their toes, and bring one another to their knees.
When it comes to books I’m pretty adventurous. I read everything from Paranormal Romance to Urban Fantasy, New Adult, BDSM, LGBT fiction, Cozy Mysteries and even YA. If it’s got the littlest trace of romance in it, then I’ll probably read it. That being said, my all-time favorite authors are J.R. Ward and Karen Marie Moning.
When I’m not submerged in a good book, you can find me musing about makeup and planners or dreaming about Kpop boys and beaches. Until then, check out my reviews and let’s talk books!

Thanks for the review – I don’t think I’ve ever read anything by Cara McKenna but I’ll be adding her to my list to check out
Hey Maria
Cara is a fantastic author! I love her voice!
Thanks for the review! See this drives me crazy. Novellas that are more chapter books. I think that I’m going to have to wait until they are are done and read in one fell swoop.
Normally, I hate ones that are like that too. But with this series its different. You feel satisfied at the end of each vignette. It doesn’t end with cliffhangers or anything like that which is why this works for me well. I’m happy with it at the end of each part.
Thanks for the review. I love the cover.
