With a new MBA under his belt and a bankable career already laid out before him, Nick Evers has a set of circumstances most people would envy. Add in his inherited wealth, athletic physique, close friends, and striking good looks and you have a storybook-perfect life. Yet, Nick didn’t ask for any of this. While he may not know exactly what he wants out of his future, one thing is sure: Nick wants to figure things out on his terms. No nagging girlfriend, no career expectations, no meddling social circle, no predetermined future. Unwilling to commit to his father’s business or his girlfriend’s demands, Nick hopes some time abroad will clear his head. Without warning, Elizabeth Bach breezes into his life like a pleasant spring wind. An entrancing, confident woman nearly a decade his senior, this romantically off-limits colleague spells trouble for a young man finding his way. Nick feels an immediate pull toward Elizabeth, one he doesn’t try to resist. Unfortunately, her allure extends to Nick’s powerful father, Richard. In business as in life, Richard is accustomed to getting what he wants. With a beguiling woman at the center of the percolating Evers family drama, someone will walk away satisfied while leaving everyone else feeling burned. But Nick’s story isn’t just about looking for meaning in a life where choices have always been made for him. Instead, this virile young man takes every opportunity to indulge his whims while he works out how to get the thing he wants most.
A dewy romance with an international flavor, Kilómetro Cero is a spicy and passionate story that gets hotter and more decadent as it goes along. Nick’s character arc is a good example of how the story improves with the journey. Initially, his inflated ego, immaturity, and endless cunning make him difficult to root for. However, the plot revolves around his emotional growth, and the turnaround is dynamic. The constant push-and-pull gives way to genuine moments of connection for some never-meant-to-be lovers. If erotica is what you’re after, patience is required as things start slowly, kicking off with just a sentence or two. Brief interludes, however, steadily escalate in intensity and detail, culminating in multi-page scenes that are thunderingly salacious. Forming a genuine bond and getting inside the minds of the characters can be challenging, as melodrama and outlandish behavior are the norm. This luscious story is a sexy escapade that features beautiful, powerful people living life in the fast lane. Crackling with energy, Kilómetro Cero pits obligation against desire in a powerful tale of unstoppable lust.
