Silk and Thorne - Review
Series: Silk and Thorne # 1
Release Date: November 9th, 2018
Some promises are made to be broken.
Some memories are better left forgotten.
Some thorns are not meant to be touched.
What do I remember most about Ethan Thorne?
The stupid games we used to play.
His scrawny legs as he struggled to climb the old willow tree.
How we raced back to the dock from the middle of the lake on a hot summer day.
What does the world say about Ethan Thorne?
Well, the tabloids call him a playboy. A lady-killer. Some sort of maverick.
The business circuit calls him ruthless and cunning. An unrelenting competitor. A titan of industry.
But do you want to know who the real Ethan Thorne is?
The truth is, I have no idea.
Fifteen years ago, we were only children. For one short summer, we were pure and innocent, unspoiled by the cruelty of the world. But the funny thing about the world is that it has a way of taking what we hold closest to our heart and tearing it away.
So I moved on.
I grew up. I took my spills and I toughened up. After years of hard work, my flower shop was booked for the ritziest events in Los Angeles, and with my best friend April by my side, I was finally happy. I built a good life for myself, away from that other world.
From afar, I watched Ethan Thorne grow up into the business magnate that he was destined to become. And sometimes, when the nights grew cold, I tried not to wonder what could have been.
But some thorns leave scars that can’t be healed.
Some memories refuse to be left in the past, hidden in the dark.
Some promises change us forever.

Silk and Thorne is the first book in the Silk and Thorne series written by author L.K. Rayne. This series has a continuous storyline, so be prepared for it to end with a cliffhanger! The great news is that all three books in the series have been released. So you can immediately read the other two books once you finish the first one.
Silk and Thorne tells the story of Sierra (Nev) Kinsey, who owns and runs a flower shop. She works with her best friend, April Santos, who’s been learning to take the lead on an upcoming event. Nev’s nervous about it because Ethan Thorne will be attending, and Ethan is what some consider to be a bad boy billionaire. It’s been roughly fifteen years since the last time they’ve seen each other. Will Ethan recognize Nev?
I absolutely loved this book, and I immediately downloaded Satin and Thorne, which is the next book in the series! I can’t wait to find out what happens next!

All it took to upend my entire world, was a single silk ribbon.
The first night I met Ethan Thorne, we’d been hiding behind masks, dancing around the inevitable. I should have been content to watch from afar, to forbid myself from veering too close. But falling into our old patterns felt natural, the promise of a challenge hypnotising me into reckless action.
I’d wanted to say goodbye, to apologize for the pain I’d caused all those years ago, but Ethan wouldn’t let me go so easily. With a single silk ribbon, he bound our destinies together.
Now, we begin a new game, around pain and pleasure, with consequences beyond seduction and submission. Will this new game allow us to rediscover our connection and overcome the past or are we condemned to keep repeating the same mistakes?
With our hearts on the line, all we can do is put our masks on, and pretend this game won’t change us, won’t hurt us, won’t end.

Las Vegas. City of Dreams, City of Sin. The cat and mouse game between Ethan Thorne and I led us to this place of lights and glitter. Here, our relationship would enter a new phase as a high stakes game of poker provokes a side of Ethan that I’d never seen before.
But secrets cannot be hidden forever. In the glitzy VIP backrooms of the Las Vegas Strip, Ethan puts everything he’s ever built on the line as he reveals his true self: a reckless gambler, hurtling toward oblivion.
Out of my element and reeling from the revelation, I place my bets and I play my hand. But all actions have consequences and my desperate moves bring our game to his boardroom. With suited saboteurs around every corner, and Ethan’s betrayal still fresh, will we ever find out what was true and good between us or will our masks destroy us both?
Perhaps, as it always had been, the truth could only be found in the past…
In Upstate New York, during that one hot summer, spent amongst the oaks and cicadas…
Sierra and Ethan return to where it all began in this final installment of the Silk & Thorne series.
