Pleasure is a game to him. Until one woman changes all the rules… characters are energetic, inspiring and intelligent; the romance is sensual, passionate and provocative. DELIRIOUS is an erotic, wicked and tender story of romance and love.” –The Reading Cafe
As one of Hollywood’s hottest producers, Kristian Bowen is on top of the world. With the Quantum team fresh off a clean sweep of awards season and looking ahead to the premiere of their new film, Insidious, Kristian’s life is exactly how he likes it, complete with a stable of willing subs to tend to his every desire. Until he attends the wedding of his friend and business partner Flynn Godfrey and meets Aileen Gifford, the close friend of Flynn’s new wife, Natalie. Since meeting Aileen five months ago, Kristian’s carefully cultivated life has changed in ways he never could’ve expected. Now Aileen and her children are moving to Los Angeles, and he’s not sure whether to be excited or terrified about his powerful feelings for the single mom…
Aileen is coming off the worst year of her life, spent battling breast cancer while taking care of two young children. When Natalie, Flynn and their other friends encourage Aileen to move to LA and work for Quantum, she jumps at the chance to give her family a fresh start. And with her off-the-charts attraction to Flynn’s business partner in the mix, the idea of living in LA becomes that much sweeter. Until everyone shows up to welcome her and the kids to their new home in LA–except Kristian.
He can’t avoid her forever, and when these two finally see each other again, sparks fly between the single mom and the producer with a past he’s kept hidden from everyone who matters to him. When that past rears its ugly head, will he run away from the woman he loves or turn to her for comfort in the storm? And will she prevail in convincing him that he can be himself, in every possible way, with her?
Kristian and Aileen’s long-awaited story is full of heat, heart and humor, as well as appearances from all the Quantum characters readers love!

Oh, my heart! I loved this couple as soon as I met them briefly in a previous book! Kristian and Aileen are two of the strongest, and most vulnerable characters and I adored that about them. Their chemistry is off the charts, and their HEA is so sweet!
4 stars
I purchased a copy of the steamy New York/L.A. film production and BDSM based novel Delirious in the 8 part collection Quantum Boxed Set:The Complete Series:Kristian and Aileen by Marie Force and this review was given freely.
A heartwarming attraction at first sight romance and an homage to Breast Cancer survivorship featuring a rags to riches story in orphaned and abused Kristian who witnesses his mother’s murder but later finds a benefactor and a family with the Godfreys.
Just as film producer Kristian Bowen starts to set his insecurities regarding his youth as a homeless person and his BDSM lifestyle aside,Aileen Gifford and her children’s move to LA as well as his past becoming public challenge Kristian’s sense of security. Contains a nice update on Flynn and Natalie’s budding family.
18+ recommended.
This was an intense and emotional story that Marie has written in the series. I have been eagerly waiting for Kristian & Aileen story since we met them in Virtuous. So Kristian and Aileen were perfect for each other. I mean after going through a lot in her life, I think Aileen deserved her happily ever after. It was fabulous to also see how the other characters were doing. Marie was at her best with Quantum series. I loved it.
I love this book and this series. It has very realistic characters with a good plot. There is love ,laughter, steay scenes, and shows true friendship among the secondary characters. It is a must read it can be read without reading the rest of the series but is best if read in order
I loved Kristian and Aileen’s story. It was romantic without too much angst for them to wade through to get to their HEA. I loved the strength that was given to Aileen when it would have been so easy for her to be weak. The story flowed and there was never a moment that I wanted to put the book down. Dual point of view. No cliffhanger. Part of a series, but it could be read as a stand alone. It is always great to see fellow members of the Quantum group.
Excellent read! Their relationship seemed to move pretty quickly, but take into account they met 5 months earlier. I loved Sebastian’s story.
Kristian and Aileen have each known devastation in their luves and survived it becoming stronger because of it. Now after being attractec to each other for months, she’s finally on the west coast where they can be together. Both have fears that they are not good enough for the other. Aileen because of her cancer and Kristian because of the life he lead growing up. It takes a lot of love, communication and understanding on both of their parts to finally move into the acceptance of love they both deserve.
Another Marie Force, can’t go
Wrong
who doesn’t like Marie Force, she is always on the top of my reading list, a great
story teller
Love this series and it seems like forever that we have been waiting for this story… <3 <3 <3
The best one in the series. I highly recommend this whole series.
This is the sweetest of the steamy Quantum series books. Kristian is at the top of his profession as a Hollywood producer when he falls in love with Aileen who is a single mother and breast cancer survivor. Kristian’s complicated past maybe to much for him to overcome for him to find his forever love with Aileen.
Great series.
DELIRIOUS is the sixth installment in M.S. Force’s contemporary, adult QUANTUM erotic, BDSM, romance series. This is Hollywood producer and Quantum owner Kristian Bowen, and single mom/ PA Aileen Gifford’s story line. DELIRIOUS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for cohesion and backstory. Books 1-3 are Flynn and Nat’s story, and each additional story line focuses on a different couple.
NOTE: DELIRIOUS is an erotic storyline with scenes of BDSM, spanking, bondage, anal and oral sex, as well as domination and submission.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Kristian and Aileen) DELIRIOUS follows the building relationship between Hollywood producer Kristian Bowen, and single mother Aileen Gifford. Aileen is a cancer survivor; a single mother of two young children who, with the encouragement and support of best friend Natalie and husband Flynn Godfrey, embarks on a cross country journey to start anew in Los Angeles, California. Five months earlier Aileen met and fell in love with producer Kristian Bowen, a man who keeps secret a dark and lonely past that could destroy everything he has become. With Aileen’s arrival in LA Kristian begins to withdraw believing he isn’t worthy of a woman like Aileen Gifford-a woman who proves to be stronger than the disease that almost destroyed her life. What ensues is the building romance between Aileen and Kristian, Aileen’s introduction into the BDSM lifestyle, and the potential fall out when Kristian’s early life becomes public knowledge.
The relationship between Kristian and Aileen is one of immediate attraction that continues to build with Aileen’s move to Los Angeles, California. Kristian’s dark past prevents our hero from moving forward believing himself unworthy of Aileen’s love. The $ex scenes are erotic, intense and seductive.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including all of the previous story line couples, as well as the introduction of Aileen’s children Logan and Maddie.
The world building continues to focus on the Quantum –both the production company and elite, private BDSM sex club.
DELIRIOUS is a sexy, edgy and heartbreaking story line of one man’s struggle between his public image and the truth about his past; and one woman’s battle to convince the man with whom she is falling in love, is worth everything and more. The premise is encouraging and entertaining; the characters are energetic, inspiring and intelligent; the romance is sensual, passionate and provocative. DELIRIOUS is an erotic, wicked and tender story of romance and love.
