Blurb: After a Wiccan ritual opens her eyes to her old friend, Maddie’s first week together with Ryan, goes by in a blur of knots and ropes.
Together, they find the freedom they seek in bondage. But, when Maddie’s controlling ex-husband returns hell-bent on taking her back, will Ryan and Maddie be bound by the past or become tied to each other?
Reviews:
I could tell the author has done her research concerning Wiccan rites. As a result of the author’s attention to detail and excellent writing, I would definitely love to read more of this author’s work as well as read other books along the line of this genre.
Now…I love a steamy love story…and, boy did “Rituals” deliver!!! It wasn’t steamy, it was scorching!!! Did I say scorching? I meant blistering!!! The love scenes with the bondage were explicit, and I loved them because of how the author tied (pun unintended!) it into Maddie’s past; essentially her foray into the world of bondage was a way to set her inhibitions free. I loved it!!! I also love when two best friends all of a sudden start to see each other with new eyes. As the reader, I know they already have a solid foundation of love, the passion is just another layer. This added credibility to the love story when they did fall in love.
“Rituals” has all the components I need in a love story to keep me glued to the pages: love, lust, and suspense. With the added benefit of a new genre that I see myself indulging in more in the future, you are looking at one happy reader!!! “Rituals” is a must read! ~Reviewer: Nefertari - RBR Reviewer, Rating: 5 Blood Drops
"Rituals is a really sweet and touching love story. The subject matter is racy (the sex is wild!) and the romance is wonderful. Maddie and Ryan are a lovely couple—obviously well matched in a number of ways! Maddie is tenacious about healing and moving on from past traumas. She's willing to confront past pain in order to achieve future happiness. Ryan is a charmer—tough enough to save the woman he loves and putty in her hands. The plot builds nicely to a tense climax and the resolution is very satisfying. I highly recommend Rituals to those who like romantic fiction with spice!" ~Dawn D. at Manic Readers 4/5 Stars!

"This quick read novella gives readers a delightful look at light bondage. Both Maddie and Ryan are great characters having a great time exploring the new world that has opened up to them. Expect the bedroom scenes to get scorching hot." Romance Book Scene – 4/ 5 Hearts!
“Rituals by Kiki Howell is a good book. Well written. Maddie is a sweet woman, taking back control of her life. Ryan is a good guy who gets a second chance with the woman he loves. They’re both great characters and Ms. Howell wonderfully brings them to life. Ms. Howell tells a good story with a strong plot that keeps the reader interested. Overall, this was a nice read.” ~4/ 5 Delightful Divas by Autumn!
