From USA Today bestselling author Kimberly Knight, comes a sexy, celebrity suspense novel.

"A steamy, romantic, shocking and suspenseful read! I loved this one from Kimberly Knight. I'll be reading Use Me on repeat." --Tijan, New York Times bestselling author

Rhys Cole’s life has always revolved around hockey. Growing up, he knew he’d play in the National Hockey League, but when his dream of being drafted didn’t happen, he chose the next best thing: becoming a hockey sportscaster for a local sports station. But just like in sports, you win some, you lose some. When Rhys discovers his girlfriend cheating with a stranger in his bed, he walks to the local bar down the street to let off some steam.

After moving her way up the journalism field by covering stories in extreme weather conditions and working late hours, Ashtyn Valor is now the lead anchor for the nightly news. Finally settled into her career, Ashtyn is ready to take the next step in life with her boyfriend. But when he unexpectedly breaks up with her, Ashtyn decides to numb the pain with alcohol at the closest bar.

Rhys and Ashtyn both expected an evening of alcohol to mask the pain of that October night. What they didn’t expect was meeting someone who could shield them from the darkness of their heartaches. Or that their pasts would dangerously intertwine …

When obsession becomes dangerous, Ashtyn turns to Rhys for safety. But how safe are they really?

The game of love always goes on.

And their game was just beginning.

Review

"A sexy, romantic, shocking and suspenseful read! I loved this one from Kimberly Knight. I'll be reading Use Me on repeat." --Tijan, New York Times bestselling author"Use Me had me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading. It's sexy and twisty and so damn good!" -- Emily Snow, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author"Use Me sent my heart racing! It's a beautiful love story with twists and turns that will keep you guessing." --Andrea Johnston, Author of the Country Road Series"The start of this story is one that's fairly familiar--two strangers meet in a bar, drowning their sorrows after the unexpected demise of their relationships--but it's what happens after Rhys uses the same line as this book is entitled on Ashtyn that makes it the story it is, grabbing hold tight and not letting go and it quickly becomes evident that they have something special building." -- Nicola, Top Goodreads Reviewer"A Gripping Intense Story with plenty of page turning drama dripping with hotness and so much Sexiness." -- Mandy, 2 Girls & their Kindles

I have no clue why I waited so long to read/listen to this book, but once I started it, I couldn't get enough. In KK style, I was captivated by the storyline and the characters. I was hanging onto every word and watching everything unfold before my eyes. Totally a must read/listen. I think this was my first time listening to the narrators and they weren't bad, I can say that my daughter had heard a portion and asked the age of the female MC because she sounded very young, but I was able to ignore that because the story was told so wonderfully.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nicely drawn characters plus a storyline loaded with suspense
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2018

As a new-to-me author, I didn't know quite what to expect going in, but I really liked how the author setup the parallels between Rhys and Ashtyn's characters; it gave them a nice set of commonalities. It was also a nice change that Rhys was neither a man-whore nor an a-hole; these were two, nice, decent, normal people (even if they were both local celebrities), both seeking some comfort after their separate breakups, and finding what they needed in each other. I enjoyed watching the evolution of their relationship--and that in spite of the chemistry between them, they didn't jump into bed together the first time they met (though there was certainly plenty of heat to be found as the story progressed). There was a nice mix of secondary characters as well, made up of friends, family and exes, all helping to fill out the story.

As to plot, I thought I had a pretty good idea of where the story was going early on but I anticipated only a small part of it. There were many more turns and a LOT more suspense than I expected, all keeping me engaged and eagerly reading to find out what happens next.

All in all, nicely drawn characters plus a storyline loaded with suspense as well as touches of humor and heat added up to a very enjoyable read for me, and another author to keep an eye out for. 4 to 4.5 stars

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful characters, fun

5 Star read!!! Wonderful characters, fun, fast paced story line with lots of twists and turns.

We have Rhys and Ashtyn (love the spelling for both). Both have really cool professions and enjoy their careers and are both coming off bad break ups and meet at a bar. Due to an unwanted advance by a guy on Ashtyn, she gets cozy with Rhys and says that they are dating. This gets rid of the dude but as things turn out, Rhys and Ashtyn get to know one another. The phrase “Use Me” anytime you’d like comes up in reference to being a fake boyfriend/girlfriend and they run with it.

As time goes by, they start to spend more time together as friends and friends with benefits. As things happen, we end up with some really bad characters in the mix (ex’s, stalkers, etc) as well as some awesome best friends. As I don’t want to spoil the read for anyone, so let’s just say that Rhys and Ashtyn have a person in common with each other and neither likes them. That person takes it upon themselves to try to make their life miserable. There are fun dates, strange encounters on dates, and then just some times when you feel so bad for what’s going down, you just want to tell them to run… run fast and far.

There is a plenty of hot, sexy time with Rhys and Ashtyn as well as times that would try anyone’s patients. But true love prevails and we get to a wonderful wedding with a twist (not unexpected but still painful) and come out on the other side with a HEA.

I highly recommend this new book from Kimberly!!!

Ashtyn a very good looking news anchor.. And a very full hearted lover. When she loved she loved full heartedly. She just got out of a relationship that she thought was going well. Until she learned that he was just using her for her looks. Rhys was a sports reporter. He was just so happy to get the night off because a game got cancelled. But when he went home he found his girlfriend of 2 years not only cheating on him but also in his bed with another man. He broke it off with her and told her to get her stuff and get out before be got back. Rhys went to a local bar where he just ran into Ashtyn. They knew about each other but to say there life never crossed was a fair statment this book was such an amazing read that was not, sexy and kept me on my toes. These 2 experience a lot of things that some will hopefully never have to do. But one thing for sure. They definitely use one another to overcome there past. I hope you will take the time to read this book because it was such an amazing book. Kimberly did an amazing job with this book

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2019

I initially enjoyed the main characters and the first few chapters and then the story went downhill, the sex scenes quickly became dull (I don’t think I’ve seen so many short sex scenes in a single book!), and the plot became redundant. There doesn’t seem to be much depth to the characters (i.e. the exes quickly turn into stereotypical bad guys) and the climaxes of the story seemed like scenes pulled out of a soap opera. I made it about halfway and then skimmed the rest. Too bad, it seemed promising.

Use me is a romantic suspense. The pacing of the story was good and the narrators kept me engaged in the story. Ashtyn and Rhys are so good together and met at the right place, right time. They are perfect for each other and their story was so captivating. I’m looking forward to the next book.

Fast-paced, exciting and fabulously sexy romance. Rhys and Ashtyn have a chance meeting at the local bar when Ashtyn needs when another guy tries to hit on her. They found an immediate connection both having just had a relationship implode. This random encounter sparked the beginning of a great friendship. As these two dance around keeping it casual while both begin to realize that something more is happening between them. During this time, Ashtyn finds herself the focus of a stalker which adds a great mystery and ramps up the intensity in the story. I loved the integration of both of their careers, Rhys as he does sports broadcasting for hockey and Ashtyn as she delivers the news. I enjoyed this couple and how they were hesitant to start a new relationship after the fallout of their old ones. The supporting cast added to their journey and added humor to balance the intensity.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 21, 2018

When a book makes you want to read instead of sleep and fight with yourself because you are not reading fast enough to see what happens, this is what Kimberly Knight’s books do to me. Every Single Book has gripped me from start to finish and Use Me was no different.

A Gripping Intense Story with plenty of page turning drama dripping with hotness and so much Sexiness.

Two bad Break up’s, and a few drinks later, Rhys and Ashtyn decide to ‘Use’ each other to forget the pain and with that comes an off the charts wanna rip each other’s clothes off chemistry that sizzles with every turn of the page.

Kimberly’s writing is always so beautifully written and there is no subject or situation that she can’t write or deal with beautifully. She is one half of my Two ultimate favourite authors and I can’t believe I get to see her on Saturday

It was sickly sweet in certain areas and felt like the author tried to redeem it with the stalker and high school bully plot but just felt like two different books. It started very intriguing but lost steam around 50%.

Brilliant book and I had a hard time putting the book down until the end. The twist and turns, suspense and the heat were all intense.

Rhys and Ashtyn were perfect match together. I loved how they took care of each other at every situation they faced. It seemed like they could never catch a break and was constantly looking over their shoulders and waiting for other shoe to drop.

I have read all Kimberly Knight books and this is definitely one of my favourites. She mixes romance and suspense but still keeps the plot and characters believable and realistic
