So
before starting this book, I read mixed reviews. Some people loved it and
others despised it. You have to be a dark erotica fan to enjoy this one. Anyone
borderline will find this book offensive and over-rated. I myself, am kind of
in the middle. I’m not an overly religious person, but I do believe in God, and
I was pretty taken back by Soren’s character. He was not what I envisioned at
all. Even though he was pretty controlling when it came to Nora, he really did
love the woman completely. And, he never ever hurt a child. Children seemed to
embrace him physically as well as emotionally. Nora and Soren’s relationship
began at a young age, and I wasn’t too thrilled with her final decision at the
end of the book. The novel ends on somewhat of a cliffhanger because the reader
doesn’t know what the outcome will be for Nora and Soren’s relationship. The
second installment I hope will answer that question for me. While I wasn’t too
happy with Soren’s character, I did love some of the side characters. Wesley
was a sweetheart. His feelings for Nora were really and actually painful to
read about. Was she stringing him along or were her feelings also genuine??
And, Zach, did he really feel himself falling for Nora or was it just a rebound
type relationship when him and his wife were at a crossroads with theirs??
I’m
not going to get into what the book is really about because so many people have
read and reviewed it, and I would only be rehashing the synopsis yet again.
But, I will say this book did pique my interest since it’s so popular. Plus the
entire series is released so I didn’t have to deal with any cliffhangers. Did I
like it?? Yes and no. I did like Nora’s feisty attitude and humor. I did like
the premise of her being an erotica novel writer. And, I did like that there
were some buried secrets between this cast of characters. I didn’t like it
because I was a bit squimish with some of the scenes. I’m not a prude, but I
was a little taken back by the abuse. The book intrigued me because I couldn’t
put it down. There is some pretty graphic and explicit scenes that readers will
either applaud or take offense to. So be warned!! If you find yourself
interested in erotica, this one has a pretty amazing cast of characters. They’re
pretty entertaining with their humor and sexual innuendos. I did find myself
chuckling at some of the things said. The story is a little over-the-top, but
it never slows down. Looking forward to seeing what Book 2 brings...
