A SENSUAL BEAUTY AND THE BEAST ROMANCE
He knows he’s a beast.
So how can he win the beauty?
Voice actor and writer Griffin Draper doesn’t do relationships. He’s lived most of his life in shadows, hiding his hated scars under long sleeves, hoodies and hats, revealing himself only in the scripts he writes and the characters he brings to life.
Only a few people know the true man, his heart and his face. He’s too careful. Too afraid of getting burned all over again.
Then Beverly Martin enters his life, and suddenly Griffin’s heart aches for more. She’s beautiful and caring, and little by little she eases her way into his heart, and his bed. The connection between them is electric, and Griffin can’t believe he’s finally tasting the kind of passion he believed would never be his. Best of all, Beverly says she wants him, too—and her touch almost makes Griffin believe that a girl like her could truly love a beast like him.
But Beverly is an A-list movie star who lives her life in the spotlight. Can Griffin take the leap into the bright lights of fame? Or will he end up losing the only woman he’s ever loved?
Each book is a STANDALONE romance with an HEA and an overarching story about a group of friends and the local bar they love. Totally hot and utterly binge-worthy!

Customer Reviews
tender, sweet and spicy
LIGHT MY FIRE is the eleventh instalment in J. Kenner’s contemporary, adult MAN OF THE MONTH novella, romance series focusing on a fund raiser for the popular Austin, Texas bar known as The Fix. This is writer and podcaster /voice actor Griffin ‘Blaize’ Draper, and actress Beverly Martin’s story line. LIGHT MY FIRE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary although I recommend reading the series in order for backstory and cohesion.
SOME BACKGROUND: The Fix on Sixth, a local Austin hangout and bar, is in desperate need of renovations and a quick influx of cash so a plan is put into motion, by a group of regulars, a plan that includes a Man of the Month calendar competition, a recipe book, and a reality show aimed at rehabbing the bar.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Griffin and Beverly) LIGHT MY FIRE follows the slow building romance between writer and podcaster /voice actor Griffin ‘Blaize’ Draper, and actress Beverly Martin. For months Griffin and Beverly have been dancing around once another but Griffin hides the painful reminders of a childhood accident, an accident that has left our hero both emotionally and physically scarred. When his most recent manuscript is selected for Beverly’s next movie, our leading couple must work together in an effort to prepare the manuscript for final reading. What ensues is the barely veiled palpable sexual energy and attraction between Beverly and Griffin, and the potential fall-out as Griffin struggles with the paparazzi, Hollywood’s perception of beauty, and the scars that are attracting some unwanted attention.
LIGHT MY FIRE is a quick read; a story of the physical vs the mental; of one man’s struggle to move on with his life, and of one woman who has fallen in love with his heart and his soul. The premise is engaging, revealing and emotional; the romance is passionate and seductive; the characters are real and energetic. LIGHT MY FIRE is a tender, sweet and spicy story where love does conquer all.
