 Kaleidoscope is book six in Ms. Ashley's Colorado Mountain series. With that being said, I could end my review here. I mean its Kristen Ashley!! This lady is incapable of writing anything less than brilliant. However, I will add a few more words. :) 
 Deck and Emme share a sexy, sweet, passionate story that really is all about overpowering past demons that haunt them still. I have been intrigued by Deck since we met him in Breathe. I was excited to hear he was getting his own story. As much as I love the strong alpha controlling men in Kristen's books, I really thought Emme stole the show in this one. Maybe it was just living through her history and watching her cope and overcome to be able to grab on and control her future. 
 I did feel like this was a more serious book than some of her others have been, but the story needed more of a solemn undertone. They were dealing with a lot of issues and a book overloaded with comedy would have taken away from the emotion of the scenes I believe. That being said there was a lot of funny moments; it just wasn't consumed with comedy. 
 This book delivers it all. We get the controlling, alpha, straight talking men that Kristen has been known for, sexy sassy women that know how to please their men, and a splatter of mystery and suspense. Wrap that all around a long overdue love story for this couple and you get a kaleidoscope of emotion and beauty.
