So this is another Fifty Shades/Bared to You style first novel in a trilogy but it’s a really good one. The style is very engaging, the characters bounce vividly to life right from the get go and it’s set in London in the run up to the 2012 Olympics – what’s not to love?I think, as you’re reading the novel, it pays to remember the prologue – it’s very short and easy to forget when you’re caught up in the story but it’s VERY IMPORTANT!!Brynne is our heroine – an American grad student studying in

*****4.5 I Heart Ethan Blackstone STARS*****I've had this series on my TBR for quite some time.All I can say is I feel like kicking myself for waiting so long to read this book!!Any story that has David Gandy as the muse for the leading male character, is a book I'm more than likely going to LOVE!!!!I pretty much had to wipe the drool from my mouth the entire time I read this book, as I had very vivid pictures of Gandy in my mind!! YUMMY!!! Brynne Bennett is a young American woman, living in

I was going to wait until book two was out due to the heartbreaking cliffhanger, but after doing a little research reading other reviews and entering in the author´s webpage I was really intrigued.And of course, after finding out that David Gandy was the inspiration for Ethan I couldn´t help myself and picked the book right away. Ethan....*sigh*I was hooked after the first chapter, and the story totally captivated me. They meet and click right away, but a little too fast for my taste, I would ha...

Quick review:Cover: Love it Rating: NC-17Steaminess: Smoking Thumbs Up: 4.5Overall: A book that’s hard to put downCharacters: Well donePlot: One heart, one compelling man and danger. A sexy mix. Page Turner: Yes Series Cont.? Of course Recommend: YesBook Boyfriend: EthanSUMMARY (50 words or less)Loved this book. Two complaints, it was short and straddled a line of insta love. Yet, I found it compelling and well worth the price paid. The author knew how to make a full story in a short period....

So I desperately wanted to like this book after all the amazing reviews and even a 4.11 on Good Reads. It was compared to 50 shades and Bared to you but I am beginning to think I am not reading the same book that all the reviewers read...AT ALL! I think people see the word safe word and that is all it takes to have a 50 shades and Bared to you competitor (Mind you Bared to you is my fav over 50 shades). The main character is of course broken from what we still don't know but it is leaning toward...

Meet Ethan Blackstone... Do I have your attention yet? He tilted his head and spoke softly. “I want to be with you so badly right now. I want to take you home with me, and put you in my bed and have hours and hours with your body wrapped up in mine to do with as I wish. I want to have you there in the morning so when we wake up I can make you come, saying my name. I want to drive you to work and pick you up when it’s time to leave. I want to go to the shops with you and buy food we can cook fo...

Review posted at: Swept Away By Romance4 1/2 Quivering Stars!! I'm in love with Ethan Blackstone!! I can see the comparisons coming already, but I don't care, I LOVED this book!! I reiterate, you can't help that books are going to have similar underlying themes, but how the story plays out, the way characters are portrayed and the skill of the author's writing, is what differentiates them and sets them apart. This one shoots straight to the top!! "That picture changed everything. I was not the s...

2 StarsUnfortunately, this one didn't work out. This book and the series have been on my radar ever since I heard a lot of good things about them. I was so excited last week because finally, I was able to dive into it. Okaaay so it started off well enough. The heroine Brynne Bennett was sure to be an interesting character-- an American who moved to London to study as a grad student and work at the same time as a part-time photographic model. This actually reminds me of the book that I liked, On

Dear authors,If you absolutely MUST set a book in London, then for the love of everything that is holy at least visit the city. Or find a beta reader who is a Londoner.Because I'm barely into the book and:1) The heroine remarks with surprise that the London streets are crowded for a weeknight. Dear Raine, London streets are ALWAYS crowded. I have the bruises to prove it.2) The hero buys the heroine Advil. Advil is not sold in the UK. (Editing to add: Before you feel the need to tell me I am wron...

Yup. I’m an Ethan Blackstone fan now! Fans of Fifty Shades and Crossfire should definitely check this series out! Naked is a quick, sizzling read. It’s hot, passionate and erotic – but in a tasteful way. The writing style is engaging, the story progresses quickly and while there is a cliffhanger, the second book is currently available so you can go straight on to it once you’re done with this one :) I was intrigued from the first paragraph and by the end of the prologue, I was hooked. I’ve incl

4.5 SIZZLING ETHAN STARS "Open your eyes" he told me. I lifted them to see Ethan's face a mere inch away, his blue eyes burning hot with lust.""I'm not your girl, Ethan.""You were during that kiss Brynne." Eyes flickering, he read me, and then he inhaled. I was a damp mess between my legs and I wondered if he could smell me. "You smell so good....and f*cking sexy." This book...OMG! Wow...It was surprisingly fantastic. It was sexy, hot and just plain steamy but there was a plot. It wasn't just

Naked - 4 ★'s (spell ckd)It all started with a picture. Ethan Blackstone was asked as a favor to watch over Brynne by her Dad. Ethan wasn't going to do it but then he saw her picture and he just couldn't resist. I just have to say upfront that I loved Ethan's vulnerability. Granted he's too dominant and too forward but I love all his reactions to all things Brynne. It was so refreshing!Both Brynne and Ethan have had tragic events happen in their pasts and as with any new relationship, they will

Re read via audible. My prior comments still apply:Ethan Blackstone absolutely ROCKS! I will read this series again and again. For my safety gang friends interested. (view spoiler)[These comments apply to the entire series.The Hero was a one or two night kind of guy. Certainly not the worst manwhore.He is all in with Brynne the moment he sees her picture. So aside from one ex for each of them that show up briefly (accidental meetings at coffee shop and party), there is absolutely no OW or OM dra...

Although short, “Naked” is a very exciting beginning of the story of Brynne and Ethan. Brynne Bennett is an American postgraduate student in London who is also a part-time photographic model in order to cover her living expenses.Ethan Blackstone is a successful London businessman who owns a security company aiming for the rich and famous people. He also covers important events. Since the story takes place during the 2012 London Olympics, Ethan is extremely busy looking after the event. So, when

I don't know what it was about this book, but I just couldn't get into it. You know when you read a book and you feel like your falling in love/lust along with them? Yeah, I got nothing with 'Naked'. Except bored.

I’ve been ruined.And it’s all thanks to E.L. James, Sylvia Day, and R.K. Lilley.You ladies ruined me with your Christian Gray, James Cavendish, and Gideon Cross. Because now when I come across Ethan something-or-other… I can’t even remember his last name after just finishing this book.*AND IT’S IN THE FREAKING TITLE!* ___________________________________________I’m pretty sure the author went by the standard “This should make your erotic book successful” checklist: Sex against the wall: Ch...

★★★★★! Naked, book 1 of 4. The Ethan Blackstone, larger-than-life, handsome, rich playboy and security expert extraordinaire sets out to protect his American girl in a suspenseful and deadly high-stakes political game! “That picture changed everything. I was not the same after I saw it and I couldn’t go back to the man I’d been before seeing it either. Not after we met that night on the street. My whole world altered because of a photograph. A photograph of my beautiful Ame

What. Was. That? I get that this is a novella but serious? Put some effort into it. This was me about 15% inBut I figured it was only 100-some pages so I might as well see what was going to happen. Well. It was basically all the naughty words you could think of mixed in with NO plot. Serious. I tried to find it.And then the end. Serious? I just don’t care enough to find out what might happen in the sequel.

What The Hell Was That?!?!?!I don't know what it is about this book, but I just couldn't get into it. I felt like everything developed way too fast. I had no emotional connection with the characters. The author literally tells you what to feel instead of actually making you feel that way. You know when you start reading a book and you actually feel like you're falling in love along with the characters!?!? …. Ummm yeah, I didn’t get any of those feelings at all with this book except extreme bored...
