Graves is a true self made man with his robotics empire. He has good friends, wealth and he’s in love . With his best friend’s little sister. He keeps his distance because he knows he’s all screwed up. His childhood scars rule his sexual liaisons. He doesn’t like to be kissed or touched really. He’s totally closed off. But Chloe touches him soul deep.

Chloe is a few years younger in age than Graves and many years younger in experience. You see, for her, it’s always been Graves. She has loved him since she was fifteen and has been waiting for him to notice her. She’s attempted to flirt with him for a while now to no avail. She offers herself up to him, only for him to rebuff her. She then says she will lose her virginity to someone, maybe even his friend Luke.

Oh, how I love the best friend’s brother or sister trope! I really, really do! I just never felt that deep of a connection between these two. The author told us there was one but it never fully clicked for me. I loved the premise and the blistering hot dialogue. And the sex? On fire! I did like this book and the second one enough to try and read the rest of the series though.

This is a story about a woman who wants to submit to a man and a Dom who is willing to test her. Abby researched Nathaniel, a known Dom because she wanted to experience her own submissiveness. And Nathaniel had the reputation to be very good at teaching submissives. He gave her his requirements that went as far as an exercise plan and diet guidelines. Abby was thrilled with most of it. The relationship that unfolds is kind of a roller coaster ride between which Nathaniel she gets at which time. Cold and detached or tender and sweet Nathaniel.

I have read other reviews and this is said to be fan-fiction. I really don’t care because I enjoyed the book just like I did with the 50 Shades books. It was a story about two people who just might end up being exactly what the other needs and that’s enough for me. I liked the characters and the sex was HOT! I will definitely read more of this series.

Selina is a wise woman/healer for the Duke of Northrop’s estate. She is caught trying to do a cleansing of his home prior to a wedding that’s to take place there. The Duke is furious about this because he blames a wise woman for the death of his wife and son. When he finds out that woman in his house is none other than the daughter of that wise woman, he is beyond furious.
He has her thrown out of the house and eventually off his estate. The only problem is that his tenants that he has neglected for eight long years love her. They even help hide her in his home for weeks. When his sister arrives and has health problems, Selina comes to the rescue. The Duke and Selina start a truce so to speak that leads to other things that bind this couple. But there’s a secret that can tear them apart.
I really liked this book. I am a big fan of Christie Kelley and bought this book almost a year ago. It has sat on my Kindle due to my ridiculous TBR list. I’m so glad I finally read it. She’s a great author, with great characters and good love scenes. I needed this book to be wonderful and it truly was. I just wish she wrote them faster!
