Kaleidoscope is the 6th book in the Colorado Mountain series by Kristen Ashley but it can be read as a stand-alone novel. This book is about Deck (Jacob Decker) and Emme. I really loved Deck as a hero. He is the typical Kristen Ashley hero without being a jerk. One of the things I liked best about him was that he was 100% committed to making things work with Emme from the very beginning. He never stormed off in anger and even when Emme was acting crazy he hung in there. It was a very sweet story in many ways but I would have like to have seen more simple day to day moments of them together. And that leads me to my main complaint with this book. There are multiple spots in the book where the story skips ahead, 1 week, 1 day, 3 weeks, 8 hrs... It feels as if we are getting an extended cliff notes version of the story. One of my favorite parts of a romance novel is to see the story unfold as the characters fall in love. I want to see how and why they fall in love and with all the skipping ahead in this book I felt I was missing some of that. That being said, I still really enjoyed the book. 
 As with all Kristen Ashley books I found Kaleidoscope to be completely engrossing. Life beyond the book ceased to exist for me while I was reading. I loved the aspect of the Kaleidoscope and the meaning behind it. The flow is fast paced and the characters are vividly portrayed. The plot while not the most exciting one, kept me entertained. There is humor, romance, sex and a bit of mystery. It is classic Kristen Ashley yet stream lined. The descriptions are kept to a minimum, meaning we didn't get a running hair, makeup and fashion commentary. Thank goodness for that. 
 Kaleidoscope is recommended for fans of contemporary romance.
