My Thoughts:
I keep saying the sex scenes bored me and they still do. (Same complaint as all the others in this series). Incredibly so. I think the sex aspect, though it is a very tight component of Gideon and Eva, is well over done. I was happy when the author started eluding to passionate moments between the characters. I was also happy that the constant arguing seemed to slow and they had begun to gain a greater maturity in handling situations, as well as just functioning better.

My Thoughts:
I'm going to be brutally honest, but for the first half of this book I was bored and on a serious mindset of stopping reading. The story didn't rear to life until well past the middle of the book. For me as a reader, I'm shocked that I continued to read. I was far more aggravated with their constant arguing and the perpetual sex scenes. There are only so many times you can throw sex into a book before the reader grows bored and it becomes unbelievable. Once the story actually gained depth of more than sex and arguing, it became a page turner.

My Thoughts:
Again, first time reader of this author, but I had heard so much hype about the books I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. Overall, I enjoyed this book enough to pick up book two and continue.

Eva Trammel just relocated in a new city closer to her mom and further from her father. She's a strong, assertive and well grounded female with a dark past. I'm sure most can relate with Eva as we all share similar qualities. She's a strong, driven character set on making her mark on her own merit alone and not on the coat tails of her step father. It is a highly commendable quality that I, as a reader, can relate to.

Then there is Gideon Cross. A high profile man world renowned for his business savvy and sex appeal but Gideon is far from having it all together as what initial appearances or impressions give. Inside he is carrying darkness and no one around him sees that until Eva bursts into his world and flat on her ass in the lobby of Crossfire. She sees HIM. 

Book Review: Ours to Love

Ours to Love

My thoughts:
The idea of this book intrigued me and pulled me in--I had never read a three-way before, and the men I like to read about in books have to be dominant men. I like the darkness and possessive nature that any fantasy is built on. The men we wouldn't put up with in our real life, but desperately love in our books.

My Thoughts:
This book is the second book in the Inside Out Trilogy for Lisa Renee Jones. I immediately bought book two after finishing book one just yesterday. It left me hungry for more and book two did not disappoint. It picked up where book one left the reader hanging. I will say thank you to the author right now for that. As a reader, it made me very pleased to see no time jump and a quick continuation into where I was left at the edge of my seat.

My Thoughts:
I am a first time reader of Lisa Renee Jones, and after this book I can guarantee you it will not be my last book of hers--in fact, before attempting to write this review, I had placed my order for book two. Immediately from the start I was pulled into the mystery entwining Rebecca and how the author had woven the tale of pulling Sara McMillan in it. I won't lie, throughout the book I found myself measuring it against Fifty Shades of Grey. It was more of the style of writing for me that was similar than the story itself, but let me add that LRJ is leaps and bounds by far the better writer in comparison.
