“She believed she could, so she did.”My name is Amy Andrews, and those are the words I live by. I write happy-ever-after romance novels and after writing ten romance novels, you’d think I’d know a thing or two about love. But I’ve been chasing my own happy-ever-after for a long time. I seem to have no problem starting my own fairytale, but the ending never comes. My love life isn’t the … best-seller that I’ve written, so I decided to change things up and write a dark romance.
While finding my way around and reading books in that genre, I discovered something unexpected. I found a sexy, romantic man who happens to have a soft spot for romances. He’s an alpha male and that type would never have appealed to me before…but it’s amazing what you see when you look between the lines.

I feel like I am going to have a hard time writing this review. Don’t get me wrong, this book earned every one of those 5 stars and them some but I don’t want to give anything away. All I can say is WOW! You’ll fall in love with Amy and J.P. and how their relationship develops. You can’t help but love Samantha too. The end of this book had me wishing for more and my mouth, literally, hanging open. I swear, Drew Sera is an evil genius!
In Between The Lines Amy tries to write a different genre and she gets help from JP who is highly experienced. Throughout this journey they build a tight friendship which turns into something a little more. This story had me smiling and laughing. I couldn’t stop smiling until….You’re going to have to read it to find out more.
Thank You Drew for another well written story .
I really loved this book! I love everything Drew Sera has written. The characters and the writing are exceptional! Read this as an ARC and consider myself lucky to be given this opportunity! Read the rest of Drew Sera s books you won’t be disppointed!
I was totally blown away by the ending of this book and also a little sad that Amy will not have her happy ever after. I had thought that the book was semi autobiographical even down to the green tic tacs albeit not M & M’s but perhaps the reality is Tic Tacs? I knew this would be different but it took me a little time to really get into the style and I really wanted J.P. to let Amy know who he was and was so pleased when that worked out. Then I read the epilogue and my perceptions all went by the wayside and I felt really sad. A great book that really took me by surprise and that does not happen very often at all.
I wish I could find the words to tell you how much my mind is blown right now. It is really difficult because I dont want to give away any spoilers. If you have ever read a Drew Sera book you need to read this one. It will make you hot and blow your mind. I can not tell you how wonderful this tale is. Please be sure to read this book you wont be disappointed!
Let me just say this book CAN be read as a standalone…BUT!!!! It will have such a more dramatic effect if you have read Everett Gaming Series! Drew made me YELL! A BRILLIANT book, and i can’t even find the words!!!!
Brilliant, just brilliant!
this book is about an author who writes romance books but is looking at writing a new style to her, a dark romance, a lifestyle she is interested in learning about. she puts feelers out there to get some questions answered. she gets many offers to help but chooses one in particular. J.P, offers her his help and along the way you fall in love with J.P, as she does. this is a great book , great insight into the lifestyle and the people within it. Great job Drew
This was an amazing book that was very well written. Loved the characters. Between JP, Amy, Samantha & Ryan I was crying I was laughing so hard. The ending was great. This is a book you don’t want to miss.
Fun, Sexy Sweet Romance, and a Kinky Little Twist!
Between The Lines … there lies fun, sex, sweetness and a little bit of mystery.
Drew Sera has really hit it out of the park with her first contemporary romance! She combines the best parts of contemporary romantic comedy with a shake of kinky fun and of course a sprinkle of her unique touches to create this wonderful story!
The story will draw you in from the opening mantra to the romantic final words…and it may take some even further with a little twist.
This is a must read for anyone who enjoys a fun story that includes insights to friendship, love, and some hot and kinky sex. 🙂
Readers of The Everett Gaming Series and The Club Irons Novels will enjoy how the author weaves her in-depth character building into this story — You’ll fall in love with JP and Amy…and you’ll enjoy the side characters as well….true to Drew Sera’s nature of bringing her readers into her world.
I got invested and pulled into this book from the start.
I really liked the cast of characters.
Amy the sweet romance author with some kink fantasies.
Samantha is her PA,who’s devoted to her work wise and personally,smart mouthed and funny.
J.P. the sadist and romantic.
What a great combination they are!
I loved seeing a glimpse into the life of an author and their book events.
I enjoyed very much seeing the relationship of Amy and J.P. grow and develop.
It was done very well going from texting and building up from there.
I loved how J.P. was so willing to help Amy and how after getting to know her his feelings grew and he became protective of her.
Between the lines was sweet and as the bond between Amy and J.P got stronger the story starting to get more sexy then deliciously dirty.
It was written very well!
With great care for the readers to get to know the H and h and how everything developed at a steady pace.
Wow and that ending was spectacular!
OMG I can’t believe how incredible this book is. Wow oh wow you will be blown away, once I started the book I couldn’t put it down, Drew Sera out did herself with this book It’s hot, dark, sexy, romantic and thrilling. I don’t won’t to say to much to give away anything cause once you get to the end you will be going OMG OMG I know I was. You could feel the chemistry between JP and Amy with each word you read, all I can say is Drew Sera blew me away with this book, definitely a book I will read again and again.
OMG… I’m speechless, Love it, the only thing I can say is OMG OMG OMG. I can’t believe it.
People this is a must read. You’ll love it.
Drew Sera had written yet another marvelous book!!! This is a must read if you have read the Everett Gaming Series and/or the Club Iron series, but could be read as a standalone. I cannot even put into words how how I felt after reading Amy & JP’s story. As with every Drew Sera book, I cried, laughed and screamed as I was reading it. Drew pulls so many emotions out of the reader. She is an amazing author and I cannot wait for the next book!!!!!!
It is very hard to write the review without giving away what really happens. Drew did a fantastic job with this book and the characters. Amy is a writer who writes romantic HEA stories and wants to write a very dark bondage story and this is her story of how she gets there. I love the interaction between Amy, J.P., Samantha and Ryan. The ending as a surprise to me because I did not see it happening to the end. Enjoy read this great book.
Amy Andrews is a romance author. Her thoughts return to the dark romance and BDSM lifestyle after attending a book signing. This book is written so that you can see from the inside what work is involved in producing a book from the author and the PA’s. Her PA Sam talks her into creating a kinky links profile so that she can do some research. She poses her first question and gets a response from JP. He admits to being a sadist but is very helpful in answering her questions. As time goes by they become good friends. JP is quite the charmer that you easily forget he is a sadist. He calls Amy Princess and she has named him her Romantic Sadist. This books story is interwoven and when you hear JP’s story you’ll empathise with him but get ready for the mother of all twists. This is a hot and sexy book about friendship and trust.
Sweet & Spicy w/ a touch of kink & surprise twist – 5 Must Read Romance
Between the Lines is a bit of a departure for Drew Sera who is known for her unique brand of dark edged erotic romance. When she announced she was writing a contemporary romance or a “kinky” contemporary romance as she called it , I was bit surprised but as with all her work, I couldn’t wait to read it & as with all her work, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!
This book is full of surprises but what surprised me the most was just how clever & well thought out every detail of her book, promos, marketing, etc. Everything needed to be just right for her to execute the release the way she wanted or at least that’s how it felt for me when I finished the book. I looked back at everything including all those carefully placed “Easter Eggs”. Some for purpose & some for fun, I’m guessing. Each move was made with purpose. It was like a brilliantly played game of chess & she is a Master Player. It kind of took my breath away.
I’m not spoiling surprises so I’ll just say the storyline is excellent. It’s funny, sweet, emotionally & sexually charged. As promised, there is no shortage of kink. It’s pretty hot, like you have a Fever kinda hot! The mystery & suspense are exciting & fun which add even more to the experience.
“She believed she could…so she did”…..Indeed she did and she did it fabulously!!! Brava Ms. Sera!!! I highly recommend this book!!
Between the lines was something totally different. From the rest of the stories, that, the author writes. Wonderful characters that speaks to you in alternative P.o.v. A page turner from the beginning. A few repeated words among the plot. Very realistic scenes that are based on the BDSM world. I love how Samantha was being funny around Amy. The plot was Easy to read. ——> I like how the male character treated the female author. ——> I dislike what the female character carried a burden from her marriage.

I love all of Drew book and this one has to top them all.. This about Amy who writer comes across where she meets J.P. I really don’t want to give to much away because the ending is a big shocker to all her reader. I looking forward to see what she has next in J.P. and Amy story.
This is a really good story. J.P. and Amy are really pleasant characters. I liked how the meet each other. The building of their relationship is developed well. Sam is a hoot. The writing and flow of this book is done well. If you have read this author it’s a must read. If your new I do recommend this book.
Amy is an author looking for some advice/pointers on BDSM for one of her upcoming books. She meets JP on a Dom/Sub website who agrees to help her. Great book that I finished in one sitting. In true Drew form, this is another dark and delicious book.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
