I requested this several years ago and I don't think it's a book for me anymore. So I will not be reviewing at this time, but if I do read it, I will update this review. Thank you for the opportunity.

A different book to say the least. I love how it ended though:) Lots of twists and turns. I am not sure how I felt about the experiences that Jack had her sit through and how if he had feelings for her that he was still able to go through with the experiences anyways.

I really enjoyed this book. The story is as described in the book blurb. It's a sweet, erotic romance with likable characters who have a great chemistry. Jack's affection and desire for Olivia is very clear but will Olivia be able to move forward from the tragic loss of her husband and take a chance on a new romance? This is my first read by Grace Harper and I am looking forward to reading more.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a story of Olivia who is a 'clean' romance writer but wants to start writing more erotica books. She meets Jack online. He owns a lingerie company is a major playboy and into the BDSM lifestyle. After a year of chatting he finally convinces her to spend a week with him so she can learn from him and use the experience to write her erotic books.

There were a few things that bothered me. Jack has his playdates with others while Olivia watched to gain experience during that week. While he's with other women she still falls for him? And we're supposed to think that Jack was already attracted to Olivia online even before they met in person, but it was easy for him to be with other women? I just really couldn't get past that. I think the dual POV in this book between Jack and Olivia was supposed to make us feel Jack's attraction for her, but it really just made his character seem more confusing between his feeling and his actions and therefore I really just thought he was a jerk. And Olivia, even though her story was heartbreaking, was a bit of a weak character. She really wants to write erotica romance, but she really doesn't want to experience this herself? Then why bother meeting with Jack then?

I do have to say the sexy scenes in the book were hot, which is why I'm giving this 3 stars instead of 2, but I thought the ending was a little rushed.

I wanted to request the other books in the series but as I was unable to I couldn't read the book as I wanted to read them back to back.
