This is one of my favorite authors. She did an excellent job again. Such great writing as always. Good read!!
Updated review: Book 1 – Loving Yasmine . Apparently I started to read this one long ago and missed reading the rest or any part of the other two. I read this last. This is a stretch of a story for origins … but good one. It was a good story and I am glad I read it last cause by then I was used to how detailed and how much sex needed to be skimmed past in order to continue the actual story. The motives impacting them are understandable. This story deals with a very unusual childhood for him and Michelle. That childhood significantly impacts his teen and adult relationship with Yasmine. Those are all dealt with as memories since they are now both very successful adults. Dregs of their past impact their present. I did enjoy some bits and pieces of the sex scenes, but skimmed most of them as too detailed for me.
Book 2 – Beyond Granite Falls. Families side by side and boy/girl love each other for years, but boy has a very bad reputation with girls (he is waiting for her to grow up). He gets set up and forced to secretly leave town. This is 12 years later. Very complex. Very entantgled. Both of those elements are good. Too detailed. It drags. Once it goes sexual too detailed and long sex scenes. Would have enjoyed it more if tightened up and kept the good parts.
Book 3 – Pleasing Mindy. Also set in Granite Falls. Focus is on Massimo’s family revealing a new half brother, his horrors in UK and his Granite Falls love. It is a slow start to get all the background to the present.
Original review: I am posting this review 35% into the series which is the end of book 1 of 3. Note that when it opens it opens to the facepage and name of the first book. Took me a bit to realize I was opening this series.
So, the first book is at least 60% or more descriptions of the two lead characters having sex. Tantric and every sensual kind you can think of. Extremely erotic. But, got boring. So I skipped a whole lot of it.
The story itself – as buried in the sex as it is – is quite good. They both have issues from, for her, as early as when he would not take her virginity at 15. His are from when he is 4. That portion of the book is why this got such a good rating from me … but that it was so so so buried in biological descriptions is why it did not get top rating.
I need a break before going back for more of the sexual descriptions… even at skimming them it is a lot. But, the actually story content is good enough that I might come back after a break.
