Synopsis
Walking away from
him was easy.
The first time at
least.
Then he shows up
late one night at Trihn’s ballet company, and all bets are off. Trihn knows
that she should be careful. But when it comes to Preston Whitehall, she throws
all her carefully constructed reasons for not dating out the window.
He’s cunning,
charming, and hot as sin. And he knows exactly how to use those qualities to
get what he wants. Soon, Trihn is dragged deeper and deeper into his rapidly
intensifying whirlwind.
But where a storm
is brewing…destruction and devastation follow.
Find out how Trihn
goes from prodigy to party girl in this sexy full-length prequel to Platinum in
the USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde's All That Glitters
series.
What I Loved
Wow,
this story was a freaking awesome!! I knew the minute Trihn laid eyes on
Preston that I was in for an adventure and boy was I right! Trihn was always a
little illusive in Gold so I couldn’t wait to find out her backstory and I
wasn’t disappointed in the least.
As
much as I love Bryna I’m pretty sure Trihn is my absolute favorite character in
this series now. Although she’s young
and barely out of high school Trihn is a girl not be messed with! She is
kicking ass and taking names and I absolutely love her because of it. It might’ve taken her a little while to find
her backbone but once she did, look out!
This
story hooked me from the very beginning and kept my attention the entire
time. I love stories that put me through
the ringer; there were times when I was happy, hot, frustrated, mad, heart
broken and everything in between.
Trihn takes her
life seriously so when she meets a man, she takes him seriously as well and
that was no different when she met Preston.
Right away Preston and Trihn seemed to click and their chemistry boiled
off the pages. Each scene between the
two of them was electric and kept me wanting more at times.
Not
So Much
I
really don’t have any huge complaints about this book because I loved it so
much. But I will say that I wish there
was maybe a little bit more background detail.
I don’t really know what Trihn’s house looked like or Lydia’s
apartment. The same can be said for the
beach house and some other locations. I
get that this is a short story so there isn’t going to be a massive amount but
maybe just a little bit more.
To
Sum It All Up!
This
book was a total experience of intrigue, love, joy, heart break, and
bravery. This book explains so much
about Trihn and left me NEEDING more.
Trihn might be young and inexperienced but she goes after what she wants
with a ferocity that I admire. I
absolutely fell in love with this girl and when shit hit the fan my heart broke
for her.
I read this story
in almost one sitting because I couldn’t put it down, that’s how amazing this
is. Even though this is a series, Emeralds
can be read as a standalone as this plot takes place before Trihn moves to Las
Vegas and meets Bryna. If you haven’t
started All That Glitters series, start NOW!
K.A. Linde has once
again created an amazing story. Each one
of her books puts you through the ringer; at times you might want to throw your
device or book against the wall but by the end you are even more in love with
her then when you began reading.
Emeralds is no different, I am definitely Trihn’s number one fan and
can’t wait to see what happens next!
Five Fun Facts About Emeralds
1. Emeralds is
primarily set in New York City. I went there for a weekend to do research for
this book, and all of the places they go to (even if not specifically named)
are real!
2. Trihn is a ballerina
at a dance studio in the city. Name changed from what it is in real life, but
based off of the New York City ballet.
3. I danced all forms
of dance growing up and recently took up pole dancing. These are all centered
around Trihn as she is a very accomplished dancer. All the moves she does in
ballet or otherwise are real choreographed steps!
4. This is the first
book I've ever written in romance where the main character has an older sister.
5. Trihn is basically
the polar opposite of Bryna, the main character from Diamonds and Gold. She was
really fun and difficult to write, because she is incredibly nuanced and has a
personality that compartmentalizes her feelings and relationships depending on
who she is with. I think that's why Bryna and Trihn work as friends. Bryna
holds Trihn up, and Trihn holds Bryna back. You'll get to know Trihn so much
more in this book and come to love her!
