Lynetta Halat - Everything I've Never Had

This book was a great read, i've been having some tough times at home of late and you know the books good when every time you pick it up you forget your problems and leave the real world behind.

The story begins with an all consuming lust, fueled over time by two people that can't see what's good for them until it's too late to stop, the book keeps you on your toes and your heart in your throat all along.

There was only one, very minor downside to this book and that was the over use of 'ya'll, That may be because i'm unaccustomed to US terms but it's minor so we'll over look it.

All in all this way a great read and anyone looking for a true love story from start to end need to read this!

Isabella Ashe - Under Her Spell

Under Her Spell

What a great story, it wasn't the usual love story you'd expect and it was enjoyable the whole way through, it was a great midlength read and i'd definitely follow the author for future reads.

The story begins with a cynical man and a easy going women who rub each other the wrong way and  do not get off to a great start, things go from bad to worse when a bet takes place, they are complete opposites but something keeps bringing them back together.  I was nice to hear about his point of view occasionally and i recommend anyone looking to get into a good read this is one to look up.

Delilah Fawkes - At His Side (The Billionaire's Beck and Call Part 9)

The last in a 9 part series of short reads, it was jam packed with action, criminals, police, phone calls and of course sex along with some other stuff :) it was better than i expected and didn't end in the 'they had a triplets and become homely and wonderful) i had thought we'd hear if she had been excepted by the mother eventually but we don't, ah well, it's was a good read and easy to get into if your wanting a break from the usual long story.

Delilah Fawkes - At His Warning (The Billionaire's Beck and Call Part 8)

So i think there are 9 parts in total to this story, Delilah definitely redeemed herself with the last 2 reads which had a proper story line to them, something to get the mind going rather than just the sex scenes, i'd read more of Delilah's work but i'd prefer full length stories since these shorter one's were both slow to start and costly.

Delilah Fawkes - At His Desire (The Billionaire's Beck and Call Part 7)

The stuff really hit the fan in this book, not only is she in a place she'd rather not be,with  people she'd rather not be in she now has a lech trying to spoil everything she's working for, i have a feeling things run alot deeper with Lex than we are so far led to believe, i'm looking forward to reading more.

Delilah Fawkes - At His Word (The Billionaire's Beck and Call Part 6)

Book 6 was exciting, if left us on edge as was she about what Lex could of meant and of course we'll read on to find out, We learn his Mother appears to be a high end ass and that Veronica is as pleasant as a verruca that appeared the night before a big day in strappy heels.

Delilah Fawkes - At His Insistence (The Billionaire's Beck and Call)

Book 4 wasn't in my opinion that great, we see a highly regarded CEO cancel a party mid way just because he wants to sleep with his 'Little Temp' who'd still been there when the party naturally ended...i highly doubt that, there's fiction and then plain unbelievable, other than yet another sex scene i didn't really feel there was any point to this book....we'll see what book 5 brings.

Delilah Fawkes - At His Command (The Millionaire's Beck and Call Part 3)

Woh!! Part three was and wasn't what i expected

Part 1 Young temp meets hot CEO who spanks her in his office then say's he'll never do it again
Part 2 she falls asleep in the office, then in his car, then his guest room
Part 3 They have hot, kinky sex alot, then she passes out, wakes up, he asks to collar her and she freezes....now we all need to go and buy part 4 just to ensure she says yes and seeks help for sleep apnea :)
I saw the sex happening a mile off, i didn't see the none answer coming at all.
Not much happened in this book but we couldn't of known without reading so we'll storm on....

Story: 4
Characters:5
Cover:5 (now the reds explained)

Delilah Fawkes - At His Mercy (The Billionaire's Beck and Call Part 2)

Part 1 involved a new temp being spanked over his desk
So Part 2 brings us to his deep dark secret ....he has a dungeon! :o shock !! horror! he's had his way with her in his study after she finds him sniffing her shirt, a little creepy i think you'll admit but there may be a few reasons explained in the coming reads :)

Delilah Fawkes - At His Service (The Billionaire's Beck and Call Part 1)

At His Service (The Billionaire's Beck and Call Part 1)

I bought these books a fair few months ago and just remembered i hadn't reviewed them yet, There are 5 in total, all as hot a raunchy as the last if i remember.
This one involved a CEO dropping his assistant from her job and hiring the stand in assistant, within 2 days he's bewitched her, spanked her and used his fingers on her...it's all very un-poetic and what we like to call 'sexual harassment' in the real world, thankfully the lady in question didn't mind it, it ends with him stating he'll never spank her again and her trying to think of a way to get him to.

It's short and cheerful so i'd suggest looking it up :)

Story: 4.5 (a little too fake but sticking a strong story line into a short story can do that)

Jessa Callaver - The Goat and the Heathen

The Goat and the Heathen

The title wasn't an overly attractive one and may of put a few readers off until you read the story and understand it.
It was a great short story and one i'd read again if i was looking for a quick hot fix, it begins with two girls inviting a man round for a hot get together and ends in two of them become more than a lusty hook up, since it's short i can' ellaborate much more than that but it's a good read and i'd follow the Author for more.

April Liala - Another Day At The Office

I picked up a copy of this short story to pass some time on a recent trip, I was looking forward to some light reading unfortunately from start to finish this book was quite hard work, along with the often use of past and present terms in the same sentences there was alot of reverting back to speaking to themselves via speech bubbles which had me constantly checking i haven't missed another person in the room.

The story begins mid way through a work party, towards the middle of the story we are taking back to when she got the letter saying she'd got the job she was currently in, sadly towards the end things hadn't got much better when we are thrown back to the party given around 6 pages of the same text we started the book with.

I wouldn't right this author off since i purchased the book some months ago but i'd be sure to check reviews before another purchase

Veronica Angel - The Masters Exception

This book was hot, quick and sexy, it had most of the things a good short erotic read should have, i just felt that in order for there to be a part 2 part 1 needed to explain it's self a little more, we learnt alot about her past and then they had sex...i'd of prefer there to be no past and lots of sex or at least a little bit about him somewhere.

I'd look out for part 2 to see if things progress

Hilary Boyd - Thursdays in the Park

What a cute book! I loved this book from start to finish, it was so sweet and heart wrenching at times, it was nice to read a story from start to finish that wasn't perfect or even tried to be, it showed the true problems life throws at us and how we all deal differently with it, it starts with a married couple, together for an age and so far into a routine when something happens that sparks a new feeling one of them can't resist it, eventually true feelings take over pride and everything as they once knew changes quickly and uneasily.
The feeling of love and lose had me feeling sea sick but i'd recommend this book to anyone looking for an interesting read with lots of on and off romance.

Amy Aday - The Deal

The Deal
What happened next?? I read this story but feel like i skipped a few pages, it's almost like reading the beginning and middle of a book then finding the end's been ripped out and there's no other copies in the shop, he was cold towards her with his straight talking, she warmed to him quickly, i imagine either she fell for him and then turned away from him because he didn't want her like that or he warmed to her much more than he thought he would and now they have  a 'white picket fence' lifestyle....either way can we please have a part two.

Lisa Renee Jones - If I Were You

Two notes before i start my review on this book, firstly if you do not have the fund to purchase at least the first two books closely together then i suggest waiting until you can, secondly if you do not like cliff hangers and actually like sleep then i suggest waiting until you can spare the time to get these books read.

Now i'm struggling to find another book as strong as this, i just simply didn't want to put it down, i was so wrapped up in it i actually forgot about most of my day and just sat reading, now I've checked my books and I've not read anything by Lisa Renee before but her books and worldwide top sellers so i'm confused as to how I've missed her.

The book was one with masses of twists and turns, when you think you know someone and then things are switched over and they become someone else, you fear for lives without expecting it to become a murder mystery, you want to wish the characters together, bash there heads and tell them to sort themselves out but also knowing it could be bad if they don't pull away now, book 1 leaves so many possibilities i'm actually worried about picking up book 2 in case i abandon normal life for another day.

I'll be recommending this book to everyone i know that loves a good read and i'll defiantly put this on my 're-read' list :)

Jo Briggs - With My Body

This book has more ups and downs than a herd of camels, i fell in love with this book over and over as the story took many twists and turns and then felt greatful there was an end so i could sleep :)
Elle is a beautiful model type, Will was a beautiful, mogul type, they fitted together perfectly and things went so well for them both until a sad turn of events changed the whole relationship and things broke down, when things could be corrected there were too many hurt feelings, too much damaged pride and too much love to solve the issues until they are force together and things slowly unravel until they are together once more, i laughed and cried at this book it was so emotional, so overbearing at times and yet i couldn't put it down until i'd finished it, i didn't see half of the issue before they arose and it certainly kept me on my toes, the only down side was the book wasn't (in kindle form) proof read well enough to flow as smooth as i felt it could, i occasionally noticed we slipped from male to female thoughts and back again  in the same paragraph and would maybe of prefer a 3 book series book 1 up until the reconciliation, book 2 her views during and after the separation and book 3 his views, the book was quite longer than my normal reads and i feel some thing could of been delved into deeper if it had been shared over other books however i still thoroughly enjoyed the book and would read more of Jo's work.

Story 4.8 (the slipping from person A to B and back again in certainly places had be re-reading parts i didn't need to)
Characters: 4.8 (i wanted to know what Gina's problem was and why she was okay with Elle, then not, then a little bit, then became estranged although she worked for part of the business)

Debra Brooks - The Temp

This book is fantastic, i love a good power play story and this certainly ticked all the boxes, Young Amy doesn't like attention until she doesn't get it then she craves it and gets it in the very way she needs, lusty, powerful and full of womanly hunger i'd definitely read this again and recommend it to anyone looks for a good steamy read.
I'll continue to follow Debra Brooks and so should you!

Alice Bright - Making it count

Making it count - Alice Bright
When i put this book down i quickly realized how turned on you can be when your reading something so short but jam packed with excitement, I loved the straight forward no nonsense about this quick read and i was left wanting to find out more about the author and her other stories, this one was hot, passionate and full girl on girl action, the fact the women varied so much make me feel comfortable enough to associate myself with one of them where as normally the descriptions only allow one type of women to feel like one of the characters .
I'll keep an eye out for more stories from this writer
Story: 5

Bec Botefuhr - Stolen

Stolen - Bec Botefuhr
It's not often I'm shell shocked but my god this book was powerful!
I have cried, laughed, squealed and cried some more reading this book, the story is about two lovers who seem to lose there was so many times it's almost like they are destined not to be together, this is stronger than any book I've ever read, the intensity and sheer power of the words and story lines in this book moved and shook me like no other, raped, child abuse, prison, stabbings, shot, cheating, neglect and being ignored, thrown away and disregarded by the love of your life has to have some lasting effect on you but Em seems to take it all in her stride when Blake is by her side, i'd of crumbled and given up, if you aren't afraid to shed a tear, be unable to put a book down and fall in love over and over with Blake then you need to read this book, it is definitely in my top 5 books, so much so I don't think i'll ever forget it, i'll be sure to Keep an eye on Bec's work and I suggest you do to! :)

Primula Bond - The Silver Chain

The Silver Chain Book 1 of 3
When I  started writing reviews I swore I'd be 100% honest in them without thinking too much about the writers (since it's highly unlikely they'll read it anyway) and I've kept that in mind for this review
I struggled to get into this story, I found a lot of the chapters confusing and almost pointless, not In the sense that they served little purpose but that they didn't all tie together to make a whole story, it was as thought someone thought of ten ideas and stuck them together, a lot of the time I was wondering why Serena had such a problem with Gustav's actions, he seemed to genuinely care for her and we could all see that but for some reason she tried to bolt at every chance, there are a lot of questions left unanswered and the ending was a true shock so I'm left excited bout book 2 however I feel re-reading the book before I start the next may make them flow better, the book starts with a young girl looking to start a fresh and ends with her in deep with a man twice her age, who she barely knows and has only been with a handful of times...it's very drama filled and not as erotic as I expected so we'll see what the rest of this trilogy brings.
Story 4 (too much work trying to grasp why things kept going wrong)

S.Blakely - Substituting my Intern

Substituting my intern
What a brilliant little book, very short but that's all that was needed for me to enjoy it, it had all the excitement needed for a memorable read and I'd be sure to follow the writer and purchase any follow on books.
The  question is.....did sleeping with her sister ruin any chance of them being together, I loved the fact we heard the story from both people's point of view and look forward to finding more books with this writing format.

Ashley Blake - The Billionaires Desire: Bonus Book: Always and forever Part 2 of 2

The Billionaires Desire: Bonus Book: Always and forever Part 2 of 2 (I think, i assumed there would be a part 2 of 2 for Breakable bonds but i wasn't able to find it nor did i find a part 1 of Always and Forever)
It was touch and go throughout this story, i found after all the years the book had gone through Joshua still spoke to Sarah like they were under contract, it stopped me warming to him so much, I understood the hurt from both parties and did expect to find an underlined issue but it seemed to come right for the couple in the end, i took a dislike to quite a few of the characters and felt there was unfinished business with Natalia and Paolo but we'll see, there are other addons to this story based around other Characters  so i'm sure we'll hear about them again.
I didn't enjoy this story as much as the other 4 simply because i felt the intimate scenes were based on blow jobs and anal, sorry to be blunt but it always contained one of the other and neither are  show of love which made Joshua seems like an even more distant character. I'll be sure to read other work by Ashley Blake and hopefully snippets from other books will fill in what i felt was missing from this one.
Story: 4 (i just felt the book wasn't quite finished)
Characters: 4.5 ( i felt i didn't connect with Joshua well, i hoped to get more inside his head and he said all the right things but didn't show them well)

Woah!! did that really just happen, after everything seems set to be so perfect forever more an ex shows her face and a colleague steps over the line, clearly they have been too happy together, things are really shaky from here and part 2 of 2 will show us if it's make or break time, i can't say much without giving away what's going on but i'm glad i looked further into Ashley Blakes work and found the extra books.

Ashley Blake - The Billionaires Desire: Book 3 'Ultimate Bliss'

Book 3 of 3 (plus 2 bonus books)

The third book in this trilogy was definitely my favourite, we hear about a second but just as beautiful Hunter that also seems to want Sarah, a possible crack is Joshua's hard exterior and a mother who seems to accept very few people into her life.
It's full of lust, desire and jealousy but in the end all is well and Joshua admits his feelings. It's another all round great story, i don't feel we really got to know what Joshua was feeling much of the time but the heavy lust scene's clearly showed Sarah what she needed.
All in all the trilogy is a good one and i recommend any Erotica reader add these books to their collect.

Ashley Blake - The Billionaires Desire: Book 2 'Dubai Confidential'

Book 2 of 3 (there is also 2 bonus books)
Another great story from Ashley Blake, part 2 was steamier than part one but also added a hint of mutual feelings which i’m hoping we’ll learn more about in part 3, the only problem i had with this book was one of the intimate scene’s doubled on the actions (he fell to his knee’s twice, unzipped her dress alot ect) but it was another story i’d recommend and as it keeps getting more and more exciting i’m looking forward to reading part 2.
Story: 4.8 (having to go back and check i wasn’t reading things twice put me off my usual comfy read a little)

Ashley Blake - The Billionaire's Desire

This book does exactly what it says on the tin, it's a short story filled with lust, sex and a hot billionaire, the story starts off mysterious, exciting and a little bit lusty, the middle is full of desire, wishful thinking and some awkward moments (for the main character) and the end leaves you anxious to read more, excited for what's to come and googling the author to find more of her work :)

D.W.Cee - Entwined

Entwined
I just finished reading this book and I'm still reeling in it, it was jam packed with confusion, upset, turmoil and love.
The story is about a man and women that meet, fall in love and have a child, when the man leaves this earth (or the earth in the book) she then find another man, falls in love and a has a child however with so many twists and turns it's hard to keep up, after reading the snippet given at the end of Jake's story I couldn't stop thinking about it, I was shocked by the age of the characters and how exasperated everyone seemed through out the story, I felt both bad for Paul and happy for Olivia, Ollie sounded wonderful and Ian must of been Paul reincarnated, all in all it was a wonderful love story, the sex filled out less than half  page through out the whole story which made a change for me and not entirely a bad one. I do wish D.w.cee would dabble into the sex scene at least a little since the love was so explosive, I was confused to begin with how there could be two Olivia's in the story when I read the first chapter and the free snippet and it took me a few chapters to figure it out, I was also a little taken aback when Olivia not only had a baby at 40 but also another at 47 but overall if your looking for a love story that'll keep you on your toes and keep you thinking this is it.

Story: 4.8 (6 years with no contacted except a slammed door? any love that strong would of found a way, even just a text to explain)
Characters 4.5 (I found Dani hard work to keep up with, almost felt her input was quite pointless)
Cover: 4.5 beautiful and simple but I didn't see how it connected to the story
Overall, go read it for sure if you like a good love story and a good cry, if your looking for erotica go elsewhere as you won't find any here

Saskia Walker - Going Down

Going Down
I have to say that this was a story that caught my attention from the very beginning and then left me a little lost, I enjoyed the chase and maybe i was hoping for a little more of that before it felt like all the sex, lust, rock and roll where crammed into the last few pages, i wanted the story to carry on a little more, stretch out the period in which all the excitement went on for, no so much the time frame in which it was set but a few more pages to give us a little more detail on the goings on rather that the 'in and out' if you like.
I'll be sure to check out Saskia Walker's work in future but wouldn't recommend this story for those that don't like to be left hanging.

Eden Bradley - Night Moves

I won't lie, i've read Edens work before but this was the first short story i'd read by her, wow! if you want lust, voyeurism and exhibitionism all rolled into one this is perfect! There aren't many books that stray from boys meets girl, girl falls for boy, they have kinky/car/field sex but this didn't start like that at all, this started with girl gets on train, girl gets turned on....in comes random man = sex which was really refreshing to read.
I have to say i don't find the term 'girl' endearing so all though i understood it's a standard term for surfer type boys but other than that the story was really good :)
I look forward to reviewing more of Eden's work since i have another 2 books + 1 on pre-order

Alison Tyler - Cuffing Kate

Cuffing Kate
I just finished reading this story, I have to say it's not one i'd re-read, I didn't seem to connect with it very well, I found the smaller details were explained too much and the main story dragged, we were given a lot of detail on the day to day life of Kate and her room mate but no only did she lack any real character (i'd of gone ape if my flat mate had told a guy I liked about my bedroom antics)  I felt like we learnt a lot about the flat mate and little about Kate when it should of been the other way around, i'm use to slow started and over detailed beginning on long stories (2 books or more) but in a short story it lacked any amount of lusty parts and too much informing.

Story: 3 (just not exciting enough)
Cover: N/A (part of a 6 story collaboration book so no cover offered)
Charaters: 4 (I feel like we didn't delver deep enough with Jules and too deep with Sonia)
I'd look at purchasing another possibly longer story and still following Alison :)

Anne Calhoun - Under his hand

Under his Hand
I've not read any of Anne's work before and her style of writing is quite different from the usual 'lust' filled short stories I've read but it was a nice change, the story was full of want and need and by the end of it you understood the love shared, it was no means a love story but it also wasn't a sex filed story (although there was a lot of that too) i'd recommend reading Under his hand and also following Anne Calhoun as I will be doing and I look forward to reviewing more of her work.

Megan Hart - The Challenge

The Challenge - Megan hart (Part of 12 shades of surrender - Undone)
What a wonderful short story, i love a short story that doesn't leave me hanging but does make me want more and this was one of them, it was sweet and caring and funny and sexy all rolled into one, i wanted to know more but didn't feel like i didn't know enough, maybe i'm just greedy :), it went into the relationship between two best friends, the crave and need for something more, the small acts that can often be forgotten and the lust found when letting go of worry and inhibition, i'd definitely look at reading not only more on the characters from this story but also more of Megan Harts work.

Tara Sue Me - The Dominant book 2 of 3

The Dominant - Book 2 of 3

Wow!! everything i felt was missing from book one i found in book 2, every bit of information i craved and every unanswered question were sorted out from this book, why is it we love the books from a dominants (normally males) point of view so much?
This book was the perfect amount of love, lust, dominance and fucked up, i suggest anyone looking to enjoy a good on off story reads this, everything that is wrong in other books is right in this book, i read book one assuming book 2 would be an extension of that but when i realized it was actually the same book but from Nathaniel's point of view i read it almost as soon as i woke up and didn't put it down until the break up scene, i knew it was coming, i's set myself up for it and chose that moment for the school run, dinner and bed time story before i picked the book back up to read that part, it was heartbreaking, reading Abby's turn of events were like most break ups when your the one left behind, we all could tell Nath still cared for her but until you read his version you don't realize how bad he's got it.
The story line no longer lacked the answers i wanted from book 1 and i have to say i'm left both excited and wondering over what book 3 will have to offer :)

Tara Sue Me - The Submissive book 1 of 3

The Submissive - Book 1 of 3
I loved this book for many reasons, it was a less soppy, more head messed up version of 50 shades (the book says 'before 50 shades') i don't like to compare books as they all have their own merits however there are quite a few scenes that fit into both books, the story is based on two main characters Nathaniel and Abigail, he's a mogul, she's a librarian, it's a contract type relationship to begin with but by the end of the book you learn there is history that wasn't explained in the beginning so the story sort of clicks, it was quite racy in places but i felt like we never really delved into the reasons behind Nathaniel's behavior/sleeping/piano playing  so i was glad to learn there's more books and i'm hopeful we'll learn more about both characters along the way. The story was very deep in the world of sub/dom exchanges and the whole kitchen table/dining table idea was completely new to me and i likes the fact it didn't shy away from basing it'self more on the BDSM lifestyle without it simply being about humiliation and degradation. I would of like to have heard more about Nath's days without Abby when they broke up, maybe an excerpt of conversation between the two cousins retold by a friend? anyway, it was nice to see the second book on the shelves of local superstores instead of having to find it online only as i may not of heard about the writer any other way. I look forward to the second book and i'm sure you will too.
Cover: 4 (the whole collaring puts some people off as they assume it'll be BDSM heavy, i didn't feel it sold the story well)
Story: 4.5 (i'd just like to of learnt a little more about Nathaniel before he declared his love for Abby
Characters: 4.5 the story didn't seem long enough to explain both peoples thoughts or feelings, maybe in book two?

Once i month i’ll review a non erotica story, this month this is it, there are no sex scenes, infact i’d say the amount of talk around anything other than kissing doesn’t fill a chapter which makes a nice change since most stories i’ve read currently consist of more sex than story.
Jake’s Story – Indelible Love Book 2 of 2
Now i’m reviewing this story a little backwards as i recommend you all read ‘Indelible Love’ first which is Emily’s story however on a recent road trip i reminded myself that my kindle has Jake’s story on it so as it’s the most fresh in my mind i’m reviewing it first.
Jake, Jake, Jake….he sounds quite dreamy and throughout the story you can feel the love he feels for Em, he’s smitten with her from the get go, it’s a basic love story with so many twists and turns i feel dizzy thinking about them, anyone looking for a story that doesn’t consist of 45%+ of sex then this is your story, I’ve enjoyed it both times I’ve read it and i’ll definitely read it again, He’s a stubborn man, a doctor of the heart which is fitting and he’s adamant he’ll marry Em within minutes of meeting her :)
There’s a pesky Ex in there who is described  and talked about much more in Emily’s story but we don’t hear too much about Jake’s ex’s, it’s a bitter sweet story that goes into details about how Emily lost both her parents and how Jake’s family excepted her like their own, they met, broke up and moved apart too quickly and got back together, got married and had babies even quicker but it worked for them.
I loved the chase, loved the fact the no matter how hard each one tried they still missed each other at every chance and then finally came together , i’ll read Emily’s story again soon and no doubt cap it off with Jake’s again.
The downside….for me personally was the last few pages involving the children, baring in mind i’m into Erotica and not a huge reader of love stories so i’m sure alot more people will enjoy it than not however i just found the whole ‘scene’ a little sickly sweet, reading twice that he thought his daughter was more beautiful than his wife was a little harsh but understood and the whole kissing noses, squealing responses and rocking too sleep was almost too much, maybe if we’d covered the birth a little more it wouldn’t of been so much love in a short chapter :)
Anyway! my overall thought is Read it!! since first buying the story i’ve found there are now add on’s to it including Emily’s ex Max’s story who appears to be in a relationship with Jake’s sister Jane.
Cover: 5
Story: 4.5 (i’d of liked to of heard jakes take on the birth, first month and his Ex a little more)
Characters: 5

Sylvia Day: Entwined with You – Book 3 of 5

Sylvia Day: Entwined with You – Book 3 of 5
Well…reading this was like a whole new story, whilst i still found myself saying ‘yes we know that bit from the last book’ it wasn’t nearly as often and looking at the story with fresh eyes i realized that if you didn’t know the previous book then A. it helped and B. why are your reading book 3 before book 1 and 2 :D
The story took a whole new turn, i felt the love on a deeper level between the two people, i felt more involved in the relationship, not just like i was reading words on a page but like i was right there with them, i found myself wondering why some people said and did the things they did and getting excited about the answers i may find in the next book, i particularly want to know where Megumi is as i fear for her safety and also i want to know what Gideon and Deena were talking about at the dinner table. Overall whilst i still love book one for it’s chase and thrill i loved book three for not taking the mushy, lovey pace most third books do, i’ll continue to follow Sylvia and reviewing her books but for now we’re all waiting on book 4 and there’s no release date in sight *sigh*
Characters 5
Story: 4.8 (i found myself on edge because of Deena and Megumi, i’m able to rationalize truth and fiction but i’m not able to forget there’s already been two murders in this book)
Cover: 4 (i bought this book for a Kindle but having seen the two covers available i really didn’t like the green/travel tags)

Sylvia Day – Reflected in You, Book 2 of 5

Sylvia Day – Reflected in You, a Crossfire novel, Book 2 of 5
Where to start with this one? Well i didn’t see the nathan thing coming. Anyway let’s keep this as thought you’ve not read the book, well! Gideon pushes the boundaries out in this one, we learn a tiny bit more about his and half of the book is repeats of what was stated in the first one, who’s who, why’s it’s the way it is and what belongs where…..after all that’s out of the way Gideon pushed Eva so far away i personally would of ran in the other direction but for some reason, against the personality a personal issues we know she has she stays.
We don’t find out until the last few pages the big issue for Gideon but when we do you’ll sit back and go….Ah! makes sense, i’d still of ran though. I enjoyed the first half, the actually story but for me i found the second half lacking any real structure, it was just a diary of Eva and where she went, what she did…i’m sure in book 4 all those snippets will add together but at the moment it was a little empty.
Without telling you every other plan/plot in the story in the next paragraph there isn’t much left to say on this book, i drifted in and out of it and didn’t find it as page turning but i have higher hopes for book three and will continue to follow the story of Gideon and Eva.
Cover: 5
Story: 3.5 (i feel like things were missing, Eva didn’t react as her natural instinct told her to and she got over the pushing away from Gideon far too easy, alot of the book told us what we already knew from book one)
Characters: 4
