Swoon-erific. Yep I made a few of those up. But this book deserves new and fantastical words to describe it. Best of the series so far and there's still 2 more books to go. I pre ordered this book because I knew I had to have it. This series is amazing. If you haven't even started it yet. Run... don't walk - to pick up book 1 Stalk Me. You'll be as hooked as I am. I can't get enough of Keatyn and her luscious Eastbrooke boys and her back home gang. They are all swoonworthy and have such great personalities. BUT - that being said. This series is also enjoyable beyond the abs to die for. The Hottie Hangovers are great, don't get me wrong. But Keatyn. She's something special as the female MC. I have yet to fall in love with the female lead. Usually they are whiney, weak or broken in some capacity and want the "savior hero" to come fix them and their issues. Not Keatyn. She's independent, sweet, funny, kind, confident, vulnerable and adorable. She's got a fashion sense that will knock you off your Manolo Blahniks and a personality that will make you proud that you're part of the same sex group. Please - if you read a new series, pick this one. I promise you won't regret it. Adore Me is romantic, funny, sad and amazing all packaged into one. You'll run the gamut of emotions while reading this Novella. It helps answer some left over questions from Love Me and keeps you guessing what's next in Hate Me. It's the right mix of brain exercise in that it will make you question everything you ever thought about MoonBoy. Are you still sure you're confident in your choice? Or is there a possibility that it's another? Oh what a tangled web she weaves. Read it. You must. Review: Dreamy, steamy, and so much fun! - The wait is FINALLY over!!! ADORE ME is here!!! And h-o-l-y WOW! This Keatyn Chronicles novella was a most fantastic little holiday read. It surpassed my every Keatyn fantasy, all the while shredding my heartstrings as Keats tries to enjoy her time and finalize her plans to get her life back. Full of fun in the Sun and surf, hopes and dreams, revelations and the rewriting of Keatyn's many scripts. Exotic and extravagant pleasures are abundant as Damian's unbelievable getaway home is opened up and thoroughly enjoyed. This was perhaps the most fun I've had living vicariously through Keats. Vincent threats aside, this is THE life. In between the worries and doubts this story is decadent and truly magical. What makes this little treat so freaking fun and exciting??? It's full of AMAZING surprises, and it's not ALL about Keats. Sure it's about the choices she must make, wishing for a future with her Moon Boy, and getting away from it all. But it's also about friendship, the possibilities of new relationships, new beginnings, seeing what's right in front of you, living in the moment and making the most of it. Looking fear right in the face- and laughing it. It's about expression, and finding beauty in the simple things. It's about fate and finding your perfect match. It's about just BEING. There is TONS of romance, romance, ROMANCE! And I greedily savored every lush, delicious, and heartfelt word. An absolute must read for all KC fans, and one I'll read again and again.

Short but AMAZING...
In this short Novella we follow Keatyn on her Thanksgiving Break in St Croix. This will be a short but sweet review. Because the book itself, was exactly that. Short and Sweet. Only 80 pages...... so without saying to much... When we left her in book 4 she was planning to spend her break alone. And yet those plans change when some unexpected visitors show up to join her. This book has A LOT of swooning moments and it pretty much narrows down the two men that Keatyn is deciding between. There is a lot revealed and a lot happens in this short little book. We get answers on things and we fall more in love with characters! It once again, makes me realize that my choice is and will always be AIDEN... "god of all hotties"! This book leaves Keatyn with a choice to make.... Does she go back to Eastbrooke and continue the new life she has there with her friends or does she give all that up? We have to wait until book 5..... You MUST read this series! I am still Swooning over here! TEAM AIDEN FOREVER! <3 <3 <3 Jillian is the queen of all cliffhangers...leaving us hanging after every book....This one is no different......

AND JUST WHEN YOU THINK IT CAN'T GET ANY BETTER ..... ADORE ME HAPPENS !!!
On the last episode of the Keatyn Chronicles S01E04 LOVE ME We saw Keatyn leaving Eastbroke to spend Thanksgiving soul searching alone on St Croix. She had decisions to make regarding love, life and regaining her freedom. The closing scene FADE IN :Keatyn traveling by car to the airport A girl deep in thought reaches the airport. A jet is on the tarmac and it's a welcomed sight. Her pending solo journey will be good for her soul. Although she can't help dread the decisions she has to make nor what has brought her to this point. Keatyn. Pulls out her wallet to pay the driver and finds a crescent moon. She slowly turns it over and is perplexed by the cryptic message. She reads it out loud. ' WHILE OTHERS MAY WISH ON A SHOOTING STAR, * IT'S THE MOON THAT'S HOLDS MY DREAMS AFAR ' CUE MUSIC:Just one Last Time by David Guetta FADE OUT: ROLL CREDITS. OK so that brings us up to date. Keatyn boarding a plane to ST Croix, 'alone' and soul searching. It's really hard to go into to much detail without spoiling the Adore Me novella, but what i can say is this..... * There are unexpected surprises * Worlds start to collide * There is sweet sweet romance * There is smoking HOT moments * Some dreams that are fulfilled * There is foreboding of whats to come * Times of Bliss * Moments of tears I loved Adore Me and Keatyn Chronicle fans , regardless of your chosen boy, will be amazed at what Jillian Dodd has given us in this installment of the series. Keatyn is not the same girl that we knew in Stalk Me and I still don't know which boy will be perfect for her in the end. But I do know that I CAN NOT wait until I get a chance to see where we are taken in next weeks episode . (Yeah yeah so maybe not next week, but a girl can dream) LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS NOVELLA .... Perfect addition to an already AMAZING series And remember "It's not where you've been that matters Keats, It's where you end up that does" .......Brooklyn Wright

Jillian Dodd DID IT AGAIN!!
Outstanding. Wonderful. Fun. UN-PUT-DOWNABLE. (Yeah, that last one probably isn't a word, but too bad!) Now for the task of writing a spoiler-free review... it's so unfair because all I want to do is squee, OMG, WTF, and gush with someone --- ANYONE --- else!! If you've read the iTunes sample, I'm sure you're dying to know what's next. I know I was! A Thanksgiving break novella. Keatyn is going to St. Croix. Alone. What eventful things could happen?? Believe me, I know it sucks that I'm giving nothing away, but in the end you'll be thankful. I found myself feeling a range of emotions over the course of Adore Me. At times, I even teared up which is rare for me. Some were the happy kind. Others were the "OMG that's so sweet" kind. More still were the sad ones. Keatyn. Oh, Keatyn. I love that girl but sometimes I just want to smack her pretty little head and knock some sense into her! I understand what she THINKS she needs to do. I wish she'd realize what we WANT her to do. It would be so much easier on my heart. I wanted to share some of my highlighted quotes with everyone, but I'm afraid they'll give parts away and I can't do that to Jillian or future readers this early. Just know that Jillian has in no way let anyone down. If anything, she has yet again outdone herself. This book left me craving more. I want to jump inside these books and live in Keatyn's world! Is that too much to ask?? Adore Me was even better than I expected. I find myself repeating myself in every review I do for this series, but I risk it again in order to speak the truth. ADORE ME IS BY FAR THE BEST BOOK (so far) IN THE KEATYN CHRONICLES SERIES. I flew through it and will DEFINITELY read it again before Hate Me releases. There are some surprising moments and I just know this is going to knock the fans for a loop! Get ready for a whirlwind ride in St. Croix! And just an FYI, read this BEFORE the holiday because you will not spend any time with your family until you hit those tantalizing words, "The End". And as is the case with the others in the series, you'll be left hanging and wanting more. Jillian Dodd knocked this out of the proverbial ballpark and I. NEED. MORE!

Team who?!
Team who? Move over boys, there is a new man in town and his name is Damian. Adore Me. The title says it all because holy Hannah I did ADORE IT! This book is romantic, swoon worthy, and just plain fantastic. It amazes me when authors can create a sequel, or in this case a series, where the books just keep getting better, but that is exactly what Jillian Dodd does. I had the privilege to beta read this story, and let me just say โฆ THIS IS THE BEST ONE YET! All you team Aiden fans (like myself) buckle up, because this man just got hotter. I didnโt think it were possible for this God to get any more perfect, but he sure did. But โฆ But โฆ If I am being completely honest here, which I always am, it is Damian who stole this entire story. I fell hard for this boy. His charms, sense of humor, one liners, and โbrotherlyโ advice made me fall to my knees begging for more. Adore Me picks right up where Love Me ended. Keatyn is heading to St. Croix for a week alone, or so she thought. Sheโs in for a BIG surprise before she even takes off. Enter โฆ (Hey, Iโm not going to tell you who shows up! You have to go buy it!) The week is anything but uneventful. Stories are shared, advice is given, love is passed, new love is found, and memories are made. Trust me when I tell you this book is PERFECT. Soโฆ What are you waiting for!?! Pack your bags, put on your sunglasses, and get your champagne, because youโre going to St. Croix!!

Wanting more
As usual, Ms. Dodd delivers and leaves you wanting more! I cannot WAIT for the next book to come out and am totally upset that I have to wait for more months for THAT to happen. I'm a grown woman, but reading about Keatyn and her issues and what she has to go thru all because of a psycho brings tears to my eyes. But at the same time, has me wishing and hoping that I find my Aiden. Can't wait to see what the next installment brings. Great job Ms. Dodd! You have accomplished making us antsy to keep reading.

I adore Adore Me
I absolutely ADOREd Adore Me! It has been so much fun to read these books & watch K grow. She really has gone through a lot of personal growth, and gained so much strength, and I think it is really evident in this book. She's gearing up for the fight of her life, and you can just tell from her mindset & demeanor that she is ready for it, so much more so than in Stalk Me (which, by the way, is currently free if you haven't started this series yet!). It is a great beach read, and though it has undertones of foreshadowing for the last 2 books in the series, is generally a light-hearted, feel-good read that makes you go "awh" about every 2 pages. There are surprises for fans of the series, and the "Titan" is perhaps the hottest part of the whole book ;) You will laugh, you will squeal, you will blush, you will tear up, and mostly, you will smile. If you are a fan of the series, don't skip it because it is a "novella" (I put that in quotations because it is really more of a full-length novel) and if you haven't started the series yet, it IS worth all the hype and you WILL become addicted, so hurry up & buy it!

Eeeeek!
This book made me super excited, nervous and, of course, all swoon-y. Definitely a great edition to the series :)

Keatyn and the God of all Boredom
Adore Me is a Novella set in between the forth book in the Keatyn Chronicles, Date Me, and the upcomming book five, Hate Me. Keatyn is ready to leave Eastbrook and take on her nemesis, Vincent, but not before some well earned R&R in St.Croix over Thanksgiving. As expected, she doesn't go on this vacation alone, Aiden and his sister Peyton come with her, and she also gets a surprise visitor. So. As much as I loved the first four books, I didn't much care for this Novella. It drags. And that says a lot about a book that is only 80 pages long. There is little fun, the only highlights are when Keatyn phones her sister or send bodyguard Cooper a text message. Because this book is full of Aiden, and I don't know why I never noticed it before but since this book was basically all about Keatyn and Aiden it was boring as hell. As Aiden is boring as hell. Yes, I don't like Aiden, never have and probably never will. If Aiden turn out to be K's โmoon-boyโ she is damned to a life full of boredom. Aiden in my mind equals no fun, no excitement, no witty dialogue. Even the more steamy scenes between K and A lacked the sexiness that she had with all her other boyfriends. That may also be because Keatyn regresses emotionally to a 13-year old, all flustered and embarrassed. In my opinion giving this storyline that much space was a waste of my time, even the cute secondary romance didn't help much. I missed the Eastbrook-Gang, especially Dallas and Riley, who can always lighten up the moment.

I Adored, Adore Me!!
QUICK REVIEW Adore Me (Novella 4.5 The Keatyn Chronicles) by Jillian Dodd Totally and utterly screaming my head off...but in a good way! Yes we know that Keatyn gets a visitor or two whilst on holiday and I cannot say who, but lets just say I am soooooo happy! I have been this guys supporter since the beginning and this little novella only solidifies my opinion. I could go on and on about what happens, but I won't, but I will just say A LOT happens in such a few pages. A lot is revealed, there are HUGE OMG MOMENTS, there are a lot of awwwwwwwww that is so cute moments and there are a lot of "Keatyn you cannot be serious" moments. "Look, this isn't at all how I wanted to do this. But I love you. A deep-within-my-soul, heart-breakingly beautiful kind of love." I just totally adore this series and the more books we get the more depressed I am as I know that this series will be coming to an end. I can't wait to see who Keatyn ends up with and I know that Jillian Dodd is going to take us through the mill to get there. You can never tell where Jillian will take you and even though I know who I want it to be, I am not counting my chickens until I see those words "THE END". "Forever is a really, really long time, *********," I say softly. "And I was thinking just the opposite, *****. Forever isn't going to be nearly long enough for us." (names hidden to protect mystery man's identity) Just loved this book, go forth and read, and remember, no matter what team you are on, Keatyn's happiness is our ultimate goal, it is how she gets there with all the fun and frolics that make it so worthwhile!!

Eeeekkkkk!
Another brilliant book in the Keatyn chronicles series! I hated the thought of having to wait until 2014 for my next Keatyn fix, so to say I was excited about this book being released is an understatement! This series has me completely hooked and somehow, each book gets better and better. The characters are so well developed I feel like I know them personally - this is probably one of the reasons why I get so drawn in by each book, I feel like I'm reading about people I know! At the moment I have the paperback version of these books but will be purchasing them all again on my Kindle, I just LOVE them! The only criticism I have about 'Adore me' is that it's quite short. Once I start reading these books I find it difficult to put them down so this little number only took me a couple of hours to read. Having said that, I appreciate it was just to cover Keatyn's thanksgiving break, and in all honesty, when it comes to these books I'm greedy and can't get enough :) I cannot wait for Hate me to be released! I've got everything crossed that Keatyn will go back to school, Eastbrooke wouldnt be the same without her :D

Won't be re-reading this story
I starting reading this book immediately after finishing book 4. I did not particularly enjoy the first four books but I like to see how stories end. Of the seven stories I read with these characters I think this one was my favourite. I don't like how Keatyn treats Aiden. I get that she is trying to be honest with him. I understand that it isn't her goal to hurt him, but, she doesn't seem to understand that she is actually hurting him more by behaving the way she does. For the length and quality of the writing (I found multiple typos, grammatical errors and places where the formatting sucked) this book way way over priced. I don't know what its current cost is but I paid approx. $10.00 CAD. I will not be re-reading this story and I think this series has coloured my opinion of Jillian Dodd and will be likely giving a wide berth to her future work.
