Her Passion by Felix Alexander is a poetic and evocative exploration of love, desire, and the complexities of human connection. Through lyrical prose and vivid imagery, Alexander paints a portrait of a love that is as intoxicating as it is tumultuous. The novel dives deep into the emotional psyche, revealing the vulnerabilities and yearnings of its characters with remarkable tenderness.

The narrative unfolds with a romantic intensity that resonates on both a personal and universal level, making it easy for readers to see themselves in the characters' joys and heartbreaks. Alexander’s ability to blend poetic language with profound emotional depth is a highlight, though at times the pacing may feel slow for readers seeking a more traditional plot structure.

Overall, Her Passion is a beautifully written work that will appeal to fans of literary romance and those who appreciate the artistry of language in exploring the intricacies of the human heart.

It was a decent book but not one I was thrilled with because it just felt flat, it didn't have anything to make me want to continue reading it or want to finish it, the characters were flat and the dialogue was as well. Decent book but I wish I could speak better of it.

My thanks to the Publishers via NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

When two high school pupils paths cross in their adulthood, will the crush that Alaric had on Annabelle resurface or will they remain apart?

This is the fourth book in Her Erotic Endeavours series. The books can be read as standalone reads as they don't follow on from one another. This is the first book in the series that I have read. I found it an easy read that I finished in 7 days, but could have finished quicker if it was the only book on the go at the time. This book is an easy read that flicks from the POV of the characters. Whilst it's posted as an erotic read, it doesn't have much erotica in at all and if that's what makes you look into this book, then you may be disappointed if you read it. It reminded me very much of a slightly more risque Mills & Boon style read than the normal run of the ,mill romances that I read in my teenager years.

I forced myself to get through this book but can't say that it was a favorite of mine. Perhaps it requires the concentration of a full reading session..

I enjoyed this book and how the author developed the characters of Alaric and Annabelle. They both have their own things to deal with and at the same time are drawn to each other regardless of whether the timing is right or no.t

In my opinion, this book is missing substance and surprisingly, stream. I struggled to get through this one and it’s a pretty short read. It’s difficult to pinpoint why but I think mostly because of the constantly changing POVs. I never felt connected to the characters, didn’t have a strong understanding of who they were and felt like their dialogue came off a little unnatural. There is potential, but it needs some polishing.

First of all I want to thank the publisher for providing me an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is the story of Alaric and Annabelle high school classmates who have a chance meeting right after Annabelle's marriage ends. Once they reconnect Alaric and Annabelle decide they want to spend more time with each other to distract from their real lives and find they have a stronger bond than expected. As their relationship grows they learn there are other aspects at play which could ruin what they just found with each other.

What I Liked:
- Second Chance, they were high school classmates who knew of each other but never connected romantically until they reconnected as adults
- Alaric's poems, in high school he was Annabelle's secret admirer and he wrote her poems which he never forgot as she was the "one who got away"

Overall this book really wasn't my favorite, it jumped a lot between characters and was a bit hard to follow from time to time. Also for being such a short book there is a lot of extra "stuff" that I'm not sure really added to the story and kind of took away from the core relationship between the two main characters. If you are looking for a second chance romance with two people who never got their chance as kids then you might be interested in reading this story.

Her Passion by Felix Alexander is a romance. While I enjoyed the plot, I disliked that a majority of the story was told in narrative form, instead of learning it organically or from dialogue. The story has potential, and I enjoyed the plot. I liked the characters but overall this was just an ok read. It had some phrasing issues that were irritating as well.

I did like this book and the story was very interesting. I thought the MMC and FMC had good chemistry and the erotic scenes were pretty steamy. I did like that the relationship between Alaric and Anabelle developed over time and wasn’t instant. I did think there places where it dragged a bit, but overall the pacing was good. I definitely recommend.

Really sorry but I found the dialogue really stiff and unnatural - the overall writing felt strangely put together as if it had been translated from another language - Sorry I DNF. The plot seems interesting.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
The storylines between Alaric and Annabelle, Isabella and Cristiano, Pedro and Henri; and how they are all intertwined for a massive conclusion.
This paragraph will forever stay with me
*"Think of love as the sea. We linger along the shores when we flirt. We step into the water for our first crush. We swim with our first love, and we dive deeper into the waters of desire in pursuit of passion"*
Powerful.
I can't wait to see it come to its full conclusion.

The quickest way for an author to annoy their readers is to mislead them, and right now I feel duped. I selected this book because I was in the mood for a steamy read and it is listed under erotica.

One, I repeat 1, sex scene does not make for an erotic story. Not to mention, the scene didn’t fit the narrative, in my opinion. It was awkward to read and made me squirm. and not in a good way.

Speaking of the narrative, there's a lot of info dumps. The story is told through numerous points of views, and I struggled with the head-hops. I hate being in one character’s head and getting the other character’s thoughts. It’s jarring.

In all honesty, I felt like this story tried to be too many things. We have a recently divorced mother (with kids who drop off the page as fast as they appeared until the end), a dying mother, an ex-husband who was in the closet, his story with his lover, a bit of suspense, numerous characters who've been cheated on, longwinded discussions on the sanctuary of marriage, and more…. Oh, everything except what for what the story promised.

Would I have enjoyed this had I gone into this without any preconceived ideas? That’s hard to say, but chances are I wouldn’t have stuck with it until the end.

Wow I just finished this book in one sitting. I enjoyed the main plot and the characters. However, I do wish it would have had more substance. If you're looking for a short sweet read where the mmc is obsessed with the fmc, this is the book for you!
A few minor grammatical errors here and there that I hope the editors will look into.
Will definitely look into the other works by the author.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the review copy.

Overall Thoughts on *Her Passion* by Felix Alexander

Felix Alexander has crafted a compelling narrative in *Her Passion*, blending erotica, adult romance, and contemporary themes seamlessly. The story revolves around Alaric Ruiz, a successful real estate developer, and Annabelle Thompson, a resilient divorcee rebuilding her life. Their chemistry and shared history provide a solid foundation for a captivating romance.

The novel excels in character development, particularly with Alaric's multifaceted nature and Annabelle's strength. Alaric's struggles with his past and his complicated relationship with his mother add depth to his character. Annabelle's journey from a troubled marriage to embracing new love is both inspiring and relatable.

The story is rich with tension and emotional complexity. The prologue sets a sultry tone that is maintained throughout, with well-paced erotic moments that enhance the romantic plot. The chapters are filled with significant events and interactions that keep readers engaged, from nostalgic reunions and passionate encounters to dramatic revelations and personal conflicts.

Pedro's role as the antagonist, driven by hypocritical motives, adds a layer of intrigue and highlights the impact of past actions on present relationships. The heartwarming conversations, particularly between Annabelle and her mother, offer valuable insights into the characters' inner worlds.

However, the novel's brevity leaves some storylines, especially Pedro's fate, underdeveloped, leaving readers craving more resolution.

Overall, *Her Passion* is a richly woven tale of love, revenge, and personal growth. Alaric emerges as a romantic hero with depth, while Annabelle's journey is a testament to resilience and the pursuit of happiness. Despite its brevity, the novel's emotional intensity and well-crafted characters make it a memorable read.

**Rating: 5/5 stars**
