Merged With Him
Blurb

Alyssa Summers, orphaned and raised within a broken system, is a fighter. She has focused her entire life on one goal, to graduate collage and have a stable, steady career. Her job in one of Sydney’s busiest ER’s keeps her busy and the last thing on her mind is love. She learned the hard way not to rely on anyone other than herself. But when her eyes are captured by a pair of emerald green ones she can’t look away from, everything changes.
The Merge is the place to go when looking to unwind and experience an exciting night out. The Ambitious and driven owner Zac Williamson knows what he wants and how to get it, and right now? He wants the beautiful blonde who just stepped into his club.
When these two meet the sparks quickly explode into so much more. But are his secrets too twisted for her to accept? And even if she could, will she stay with him when she realizes that being his has put a deadly target on her back?

This was all insta everything and super sweet. And I totally loved it.

2.5 ⭐️
I’m really iffy about the .5 honestly.
The storyline had a lot of potential but the writing / execution was very juvenile. It was like a YA book but with cringe smut scenes.
In addition to this the characters were written like they were stupid, literally they all had zero common sense. Anybody with half a brain would immediately know their cucumber comments were about Dick, yet the male bc was all “oh I wonder what that means” really??? You don’t know??? This happened about a dozen times, maybe more. Just thinks that were common sense yet the author made the characters clueless
The rest of it was so quick and dramatic it was just like a weird wattpad fanfic honestly.

I never rate a book one star but it gets a star for the spice and only that.
It started off good then it went a bit weird and cringy. Then it was just laughable and predictable. There was so many mistakes. The characters just seemed very insecure and it was just a weird one.

I wanted to love this book and I actually did love the characters at first. But typos aside, I had to DNF when the MMC suddenly switched from “I don’t do relationships” to “we will be together forever” within the first 25% of the book. The writing is also a bit repetitive at times - stating something like the character’s thought and then having them literally say the exact same thing with the same words.

July 29, 2023Dnf 25%. Not feeling this one and the writing style isn’t working for me either. I just don’t find the overbearing love bombing romantic, it actually feels sinister, I’m also struggling with the premise that the H is a self made billionaire at 28 from running a nightclub and an underground fight club. He’s also kind of dense as far as I can tell. Ah well.

This book is major Insta-love, which I don’t mind. But it took being over 40% into the book for some true character development and action (other than the numerous steam scenes). So, in my opinion, the pacing and development were a little off. But overall, it was enjoyable.

WOW such a amazing story! I loved this book like really really enjoyed it, it was so easy to read I finished it in one sitting. Alyssa and Zac had so much chemistry I FLOVED them together. The secondary were also really good. The book was well written, I think it’s absolutely perfect for a debut novel and I’m looking forward to other stories this author will write.
I was given a copy of this book but this is a true and honest review

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and read it in 2 sittings. Kylie’s writing style is so easy to read, and the dialogue does not feel forced in any way. The story is gripping and the characters likeable. You find yourself rooting for them.
I am a sucker for romance and passionate love. Kylie focuses on Alyssa and Zac throughout the whole book and doesn’t get sidetracked with irrelevant details many use to just fluff up the word count. Every word in this book was clearly thought out and linked together in such a way that it was a pleasure to read.
Cannot wait to read more.

Omg, I don’t know where to begin! I love Alyssa and Zac so much. They’re my new favorite couple! I am a CNA, so I relate to Alyssa. It’s a nice change because you don’t see a nurse in a book hardly at all. I can not wait to see where this author takes her next characters :3 Thank you Kylie for the wonderful adventure! Keep up the good work!!

4 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This was a pretty good story. I love a good romance. This had way more sex than story. I like reading smut, but not when it overpowers the story. The characters' chemistry is a little forced at the beginning, but does get better. The MMC's brother is a hoot. 🤣 I will definitely read more from this author.

I read the reviews saying this was super insta love. And it was indeed over the top insta love. At times cringey. It was labeled as billionaire romance suspense. I kept waiting for the suspense. That was the only reason I finished. And let me tell you: not very suspenseful.

This was an enjoyable read. The insta love came very quick, so I think it‘s not a book for everyone. Zac and Alyssa are nice together but I was very curious about Bray and Reilly. I think this book had a lot of potential but sadly it was not fully used. Some chapters were just boring and the love story between the main characters was short. So I liked it but it was not excellent. I will definitely read the second book in this series.

Alyssa went on a blind date her friend, Sarah set her up with but ended up having a disastrous date. But fortunately she met Zac who's the owner of the nightclub she went with her blind date. Zac saved Alyssa and they both felt a passionate connection for each other. So, they started dating. Both are possessive and found happiness in each other.
I really liked this book. But I was hoping for an epilogue which was not there 😢 Still I liked the book. Nothing too excessive. There was a slight drama of a crazy employee Zac fired who was obsessed with him. Rather than that the book is all about Alyssa and Zac's love life. It's an insta-love story. I liked it as I have a thing for insta-love. Also, liked the side characters. There's everything Fun, romance, slight drama, slight action and lots of possessiveness. Lol!

I will admit this is a reread for me. The first time I read this it was in July of 2021.
This is the perfect beginning to this series.
Alyssa and Zac are seriously meant for each other and their connection screamed through the pages. Alyssa deserved to be worshiped and Zac did just that. This couple set the bar high for everyone involved in this series and any other books that happen.
Alyssa and Zac are couples goals ❤

Fast paced, instalove, unique, beautiful story with its own brand of twists and grit to keep even the most hardened reader entertained. Filled with fabulous characters who keep you turning the page and situations which make you exclaim. Worth every moment. Highly recommended as an escape you don't want to miss

Great Read
Wow - I’m glad I one clicked this book - Zac and Alyssa meet at his club when he says her when her date slips a date rape drug in her drink, and it just gets better from that moment.

This was just silly. Not really any other to describe it. Insta-love doesn't normally bother me, when it's done well. It was not done well in this one. I can imagine grown adults talking the way they do.
Overall, it wasn't great.

So I first came across Zac and Alyssa through Josh and Emmys story (I mean I know that isn’t part of the series, but I think I may have read them in a right wrong order 👀🤣)
I loved Zac and how much he came out of his shell with Lyssa.
Definitely worth a read

Get a drink, snacks and whatever else you need because once you start this book you will not want to put it down! I stayed up till 3:15 in the blessed AM on a work night, because I simply could not put it down.
You will fall in love with the characters and their stories. The relationships between the characters make you want to be a part of their world, go to dinner, watch movies, you know like they are your friends now.
Kylie Kent is a genius with her writing style, the way she builds up dramatic situations, uses current modes of communication, and describes scenes, all just lead to a fantastic story. There isn’t anything I didn’t like about the book. And I’m sitting as patiently as I can waiting for the next book.
As an avid reader the only other thing I can say is: Way To Go Kylie, Way To Go!

I've recently discovered Kylie Kent and after reading her trilogy The Valentino Empire Series (Holly the FMC is part of this series) I decided I wanted to read more of hers and I was not disappointed.
This book is dark romance (on the light side though), with a touch of suspense, with instant love with a billionaire club owner (who plays a little on the less than the legal side) and the woman that knocks him flat. A nice bonus the spice between the two is hot as hell.
The characters were easy to fall for and understand but she held back just enough for me to keep wanting more. I love the alpha males she writes that when they find the one, they are all in no going back, laying claim to what they want. I love that the woman makes them work a little for it too.
Look forward to reading about Bray and Dean next.

Alyssa is finally going out on a blind date her best friend Sarah set up for her. She really doesn't want to but knowing her friend has her best interest at heart she goes. Saying the night is a disaster is being kind, he only talks about himself, shows no real interest in her apart from talking to her breasts, and then wants to split the check. But really sealing the deal was that he drugs her and if it wasn't for the GQ model she spots at the bar before passing out who knows what would have happened.
Zac isn't usually on the floor of his club but with his baby sister showing up he's keeping an eye out sitting at the bar. When he notices the curvy blonde in the red dress standing in the doorway, he's suddenly happy to be sitting at the bar, pity about the pencil-dicked douche who joins her and escorts her to the bar. When they finally make eye contact it's like she cast a spell on him. Watching the guy she's with slip something into her drink sends him wild. As he rips him away making sure one of the security team takes him downstairs to be dealt with, she collapses in his arms.
'Walking up behind him, I throw him across the room before turning back to my sunshine. Huh, my sunshine?'
Watching over her all night while she sleeps in his office the possessiveness Zac feels only cements itself deeply.
When Alyssa awakes to find the GQ model look alike watching over her and dozens of worried messages and calls from her friends she struggles to put the pieces together. When he fills in the blanks she can’t believe what happened. Even more shocking is the fact that Zac wants to drive her home and seems worried about her.
‘I’m momentarily stunned by the electricity I feel run up my arm from his touch. I look at him, his muscles stretching out the black V-neck, his forearms tensing as he grips the steering wheel… damn. Unintentionally, I squeeze my legs together and supress the moan that wants to escape. What the hell is wrong with me? This handsome stranger is nice enough to give me a lift home and all I can think about is jumping his bones.’
Zac has made his mind up he wants Alyssa and even she won’t stop him from making it happen.
“Where the hell have you been all my life, sunshine? You might not know what this is, me and you, and that’s okay, because I know. This is us always having a tomorrow, together.”
When Alyssa feels like her life is finally getting good the world tilts as a stalker begins to make threats. After what has happened in her past, this just might break her. But Zac will never let anything harm his sunshine and once the threat is eliminated, he’ll spend the rest of his life making her happy.
“I want to always have a tomorrow with you,” I tell him. “Sunshine, I want nothing more than to raise a family with you. For all of my tomorrows to be with you.
Happy Reading.
