4.5--Romance is sex plus love--Erotica is sex plus fear--Stars!!!
First and foremost, I have absolutely no idea how to review this book. None. Zero. Zilch.
I went in to it having absolutely no idea what to expect and I think that's the best way to do it. Just go in blind. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
My random thoughts on the book.....
Nora:
She was fun. She was sexy. She was funny. She was dangerous. She was bold. She was brilliant.
Wesley:
Wesley was
He was so sweet. And pure. I really loved the dynamic between Nora and Wes. They were polar opposites. Best friends. And loved each other in their own special way.
Zach:
Hmm....how do I feel about Zach!
I actually really liked Zach too. I pretty much waffled the whole book about who I wanted Nora to "end up" with. Not that it mattered because it seems she will forever belong to Soren.
Soren:
Soren who needs to
Yeah, yeah...I get it. He's not going anywhere. But honestly, I'm not a Soren fan. Doesn't help that I don't like the BDSM and D/s elements. Yes, I know....a very prevalent part of the story.
It might be a deal breaker for me.
And lastly....
Griffin:
Pretty sure....
Only got some small glimpses of you but I'm pretty sure I'm going to love you.
So who are these people. Well...
Nora is an erotic author. She she's also THE Dominatrix. She's a Switch.
Zach is Nora's editor for her new book.
Wesley is Nora's young, live-in "intern".
Soren is Soren. The Soren.
Griffin is another dominant. I have no idea what role he will play in future books, but for whatever reason I just liked him.
I don't know what to say....other than
It was intriguing. It was forbidden. It was sexy. It was different.
While I admit, I do not care for the BDSM aspects of the storyline, I was still engrossed in both the story and the characters and I can definitely appreciate both.
I think I will give myself one more book to see if I can handle the BDSM elements before I part ways with Nora and the gang!
So yeah...there you go. That's all I got.

I can read a book with little to no romance or smut and BDSM. I can. Really. I think. Maybe...."

Damn, I think I'm the only one who didn't read this..
It sounds, wow! Fab review J!
Awesome review, J! I was weary of Søren in the beginning, but he really grew on me ;) Love this series!
Arianna wrote: "Damn, I think I'm the only one who didn't read this.."Nah...there's a few of you left! LMAO! Really hard book to review though.

Great review :) Love your thoughts even though google is boycotting your review :D

Great review friend! Maybe I will try this someday..;)
Arianna wrote: "Great review friend! Maybe I will try this someday..;)"Thanks friend...that was me! Finally took the plunge! Worth it!
Awesome review, J! I've had that on my kindle since it was on some sale like 6 months ago, so far I'm afraid of it, lol. I'll keep an eye out for your updates if you continue:)
J, the hardest was to dive in, now that it's done, don't you want to know more?I hope you'll keep reading this series, it only gets better and better.
Great review! ;)
This series only gets better and you will probably love Kingsley too!

But I am glad that I did. I think I will try to continue, I just don't think I can read them all back to back. :)

I do want to know more...and I think that's what's driving me to want to continue, depsite the BDSM elements. I'm very intriuged by the story and all of the characters! Thanks friend!

Fab review J. I been eagered to se your review on this. I started and stopped this twice!!! I know the good stuff apparently comes later. I might give it a third go. Who knows!!! ;))
LOL! I'm so proud of you for reading this. I wasn't a Soren fan until book 2 and then I was just SOLD. But he may not quite be your cuppa. But I guarantee you will LOVE The Angel. Griffin and Michael were just....dreamy sigh
Great thoughts J; this book may not be for everyone, but I think you should keep going. I think the only words I can come up with for this series is that it`s a `LOVE SO PROFOUND` ;)Love ya babes ;x
I had the same thoughts, J!! Wasn't too sure how I felt about the first book, it's actually the only one I've read from this series! Loved the review though! I was totally Team Wesley & a Soren hater after this book!! :)
Great review j! I'm loving this too so far!

Thanks April! I think I'll definitely give it at least one more book. Maybe I'll even be able to read the whole series! :)

I used to dislike Soren as well but now he is pretty much my favorite character ever. I love King as well. This series is so fantastic, I finished The saint last week and I can hardly wait for The King.
Awesome review friend!! I was a little nervous. LOL
