My name is Nathan Reines, and I’m a voyeur.I like to watch people have sex. In fact…I get off on it.There’s nothing more erotic than seeing bodies tighten and tremble, falling over the edge into ecstasy.Witnessing the desire on their faces makes me hard as steel. Every. Single. Time.The first time I watched the woman in the apartment across from mine, I knew she was different.Teased by her … she was different.
Teased by her gentle caresses and tempted by her silent moans.
Emberleigh has unleashed something in me. A craving for her and her alone.
For two years, I refused to give in to my curiosity. That is, until fate took things in her own twisted hands.
Relationships aren’t usually my style, but she makes me want more than I ever have—makes me want to do more than just watch.
Once I experience Emberleigh in the flesh, I know there’s no going back.
I’m done watching with her with hungry eyes.
I’m ready to feast.

Favorite Quotes:
I just wonder how far on the crazy bus I’m willing to go and if I’ll make it out unscathed at the end of the journey.
… she steals a part of me that I never knew was up for grabs.
You watching me made me feel special in a weird sort of way, like you found me good enough just by looking at me.
My Review:
Sizzle and snap, this book was atomically hot. Knowing from the synopsis that the main character was a voyeur, I was afraid it was going to be creepy, but somehow it wasn’t. This was my first experience reading the author and despite it being the third book of a series, the story stood perfectly fine on strong legs. Each book features a different individual from a group of four friends who had met several years prior while attending a sexual addiction therapy class, a class they had quickly decided to discontinue as they supported each other. Their various preferences seemed to conveniently mesh and dovetail when pinch-hitters were needed, as one liked to watch and several liked to be watched, and I was still waiting for the creep factor. Somehow this wily author made it all appear perfectly acceptable and it seemed to have worked for them as they had each found their own niche with a loving partner. Watching Mine was cleverly woven with wanton erotic scenes, public exposure, expletives, and unconventional family structures, endearing flawed characters, and a surprisingly sweet romance. The storyline was highly sensual, salacious, mesmerizing, and provocatively called forth sharp visuals and the need to frequently sip cool libation – oh my. You could save on your heating bill by reading this one, possibly even during blizzard conditions.
I love all the characters from the Consumed Series. They’re all very unique. Nathan is my over all favourite, so couldn’t wait to read his story. He’s a voyeur and loves to watch people, wether it be everyday life or sexually. For a while he’s watched one particular lady. He’s captivated by her beauty and the sexual acts she partakes in, while she thinks no one else is watching. She’s become an addiction…
What will Nathan do when he comes face to face with the lady of his dreams?
You’ll have to read to find out hehe…Such a great story! Highly recommended
Just when I thought this series could not get any better, along came Nathan’s story.
It’s no secret he likes to watch, actually he floves to watch others!! It gives him pleasure to watch others receive pleasure and none more so than his Tuesday night viewing. His own private showing from his apartment window. For two years, most Tuesdays he can be found, front and centre………Watching………and then fate throws him a curve ball and watching just isn’t enough any more.
Oh my days!!! Nathan and Emberleigh melted more than my heart! The author throws some curveballs of her own. Just when you think you know what’s going on…BOOM, your heart and your mind gets twisted. Nathan is my new favourite!! Sorry Colt!
It’s kind of intriguing learning your own limits or…lack of limits through the needs of others.
Watching Mine is Nathan’s story. Within this tight circle of “misfit” friends, I always thought of Nathan as an outsider in his own way. He isn’t. But it was easy to mislabel someone I couldn’t comprehend…until now.
As hot as this series is, it also helps bring awareness in a non “after school special kind of way.” It brings to light struggles that are so very real and needs others have. In an odd way, that comforts me.
However, do not think for one minute that the comforting is all this book has to offer. No, this book is HOT. Nathan’s needs are different from that of his friends and complicated for some. His “hobby” might not be so easy to explain to the one woman who had made him hope.
Join the “misfits” in this adventure and all the others. I have a feeling that you will be Always Wanting and may even Bare Yourself but you will definitely enjoy Watching Mine.
reviewed for Sweet Spot Sisterhood
A voyeur that has been watching a particular woman for over 2 years accidentally runs into her twice the same day. Coincidence you say? I call it fate.
Nathan is a voyeur and his guilty pleasure the past 2 years has been watching Emberleigh through his window. He doesn’t want to meet her, but what happens once he sees her up close is something he can’t control.
This is only my third read by this author and I couldn’t be more pleased of giving her books a chance. The stories are raw and unconventional, very well written and with a great flow that makes them hard to put down. Watching Mine does not disappoint and it’s an unconventional love story full of scorching sex that makes for a great erotic ride. Even if you don’t want to, you’re bound to get all hot and bothered while reading it.
I liked the main characters and found them both relatable in their flaws and really enjoyed how they complemented each other.
This book is unpretentious, without major angst or drama and still touches a somewhat sensitive issue. I really liked Watching Mine and would recommend anyone daring enough to read a love story involving voyeurism and exhibitionism to give it a chance. I know I’ll be going back to read about Nathan’s friends.
I have been waiting patiently for Nathan’s book and I was not disappointed! I love his loyalty to his friends and his no apology attitude for his lifestyle! I love that once again Alex Grayson took characters that have lived through difficult situations and challenging lifestyles and shown us that we are not held back by our tragedies, or life circumstances. We can make the best out of life even when faced with challenges! Emberleigh is a strong independent woman that is able to match Nathan’s intensity in all ways! Not to mention this book is downright HOT! Nathan kicks the action up a notch or two from the previous books and they were already on fire! You might even need a little cooling off before this one is over! I cannot wait for the next book in the series!
Well, uh, yeah.
Nathan. Damn. I don’t really have words to describe the hotness of that man. Hell, any of the people in this book. Tegan, Colt, Nathan? Wyatt? Those men are all sorts of fuckhot and I want one in my bed.
Or plastered against the window, in the alley, on the couch with my best friends getting it on next to me. Whatever.
But to focus on Nathan and Emberleigh, let’s just say they are so much fun. The chemistry is off the charts, the voyeurism, the exhibitionism, the sexuality that drips from the pages. Yeah, these two have it in spades.
So, what are you waiting for? Go out and read Watching Mine by Alex Grayson. It’s hot AF.
Watching Mine by Alex Grayson is dirty and sinfully romantic! I could not put this book down!
If you love books more on the ‘extremely sexy’ side of the romance scale then I recommend this book. If you like your romances more tame and less erotic then you should probably read at your own risk.
Watching Mine is a taboo story about a man (Nathan) who is a voyeur. Nathan is a hot as hell character. I found him very intriguing. I loved how his inner alpha shines when it comes to Emberleigh.
Emberleigh lives in the apartment across the street from Nathan’s. After a series of run ins and a few sexy hookups the two grow closer not only physically but also emotionally.
Nathan is keeping what could be a relationship destroying secret from Emberleigh. But what he doesn’t know is that Emberleigh has her secrets also.
I really enjoyed Watching Mine. I loved Emberleigh and Nathan’s relationship. I loved how they were each others constant and the only angst came from their background stories. However, the confessions I felt were a little rushed and the emotions portrayed in this particular scene where a tad bit unrealistic. In my opinion, that was the only hiccup I encountered through this novel.
This was another great read in this continuing series.I have to say that I really love this authors writing. I was glued to the story from the very first pages and never put the book down until I was finished it.This was one hot as hell read!
The sparks and the chemistry and those sizzling dark looks were evident from the moment their eyes met. Emberleigh and Nathan’s chemistry was off the charts and if you were standing in a room with them you could feel the heat up close and personal.There is secret each one is holding back from voicing but, what neither realizes is that they have been doing a sensual dance between them for sometime now.
I loved the characters from the onset of the story as they both were easy to like and love.I have to mention that I love the other characters in this series as well and that I love the amazing relationship that they have with one another.Since their first meeting they were fast friends who shared similar sexual desires and play together when the need arises and are able to play with those they trust.
Emberleigh turned out to be my favorite character.I just loved how she just let her sexual inhibitions go when she she new someone was watching.I love how she was willing to explore a side of herself she never new existed a little bit at a time. She never really thought she would enjoy but ,realized it only enhanced her own sexual desires.And with the past she has had to overcome to put that much in a man she barely knows was a huge stepping stone for her.
I found her to be sexy as sin,love-able,bright,loving,sensual as well as sexual and you got to love her for the scarifies she has made on behalf of another.
Nathan OMG! that man was hot as hell!.Voyeurism was his kink!That man was sex on a stick for sure and someone to definitely make a girls panties wet just by staring right into those smoldering dark eyes of his. I loved the heat he created when with Emberleigh and most of all loved the possessiveness she brought out in him .This was definitely a first for this player.How the mighty fall…LOL If I wasn’t half in love with Nathan myself already when we learned Emberleigh’s secrets and he stood by her I would have been right then and there from that moment on.That man melted my heart !
We loved this sizzling read from cover to cover and this was one highly erotic read that has you fanning yourself more than once through out this story.
HOT HOT HOT
A recommended read to all as well as the other books in this series.This author writes great erotica reads and is one of my go to authors when I am in for one really hot and scorching read.This story moves to the keeper pile.
Well Done!
I throughly enjoyed this book!
I loved both Nathan and Emerleigh.
Nathan is sexy and cocky and he also is a voyeur.
He’s unapologetic for his likes and his kinks.
His confidence and self assuredness is sexy and makes him that much more alluring.
Emberleigh (beautiful name) is such a strong courageous young lady.
She’s not only gorgeous but she’s kind and sweet.
The two of them together are dynamic!
The writing is fantastic!
Everything flowed so well and kept me glued to my kindle.
I loved Emberleigh’s back story.
The story and plot are original and captivating.
Great book with some really hot scorching scenes that are sexy as hell!
4.5 stars
Nathan and Emberleigh – wow, what a HOT couple. Their chemistry is off the charts and this is one steamy, gripping, NSFW read.
The story NEVER felt obvious or predictable, it had a very unique feel. The plot twists weren’t so much twists as undulations and curves along the path their journey took them on. The writing held my attention throughout, it flowed smoothly, is high quality and so easy to read.
I absolutely adored both Nathan and Emberleigh. Despite their predilections and kinky tastes, they felt very normal, straight forward and believable characters. They fitted together so well and their relationship quite simply worked. It was more insta-lust than insta-love, but I felt their growing attachment to each other and totally believed in them.
It was fantastic to catch up with Nathan’s friends and I so can’t wait for Ava’s story. That said you can totally read this as a stand alone. Though I can also tell you that book 2 is super hot (I’ve not read book 1).
I’ve read a few books by Alex Grayson that a absolutely loved including this one Watching Mine would be the first story I read in this series I plan to read about the couples that are mentioned throughout this book . Watching mine starts off with a very steamy scene that leads to very very very erotic sex scenes that mainly include voyeurism which I found super HOT . This is told in dual point of view , no drama at all , sad backstories for the hero and heroine , story line that had me hooked from start to finish , and secondary characters that are so lovable to were I can’t wait to get started on their journeys . Nathan is oh so yummy I really enjoy to read a heroes point of views and to get inside his head and how he viewed the heroine in such a beautifully sexy way . So wasn’t expecting Emberleigh’s back story my heart hurt for her and the things she still hasn’t overcome but with a little help from the hero she does a couple things she never thought she’d do . Them as a couple is perfect with off the charts chemistry you could really feel the connection they had through my kindle . I can’t wait to read more by Alex Grayson she writes emotionally charged romances If you haven’t read her Jaded series I highly suggest that you do with a box of tissues .

A Beautifully Vivid Foray into the Realm of Observational Gratification…
“Hungry Eyes” was my first foray into anything written by Alex Grayson and I can say with complete certainty that it will not be the last book of hers I devour! This book, holy hell, what a wonderful journey into the realm of voyeuristic sensibilities, it, was, delicious, and hit so very close to my heart it made me internally sing.
I have been a voyeur almost my entire life; it is something that is part of the very fabric of your soul and is something you need to purposely direct daily to function in our very puritanical society. It was what ultimately led me to delve into anthropological research in college, as observational research allowed me to channel my need to pay attention to every little nuance of human behavior in a way working in private clubs, bars, and “alternative” parties did not. Giving me the ability to separate my need to obsessively watch the darkened corners of the room, and train it on something more socially acceptable.
However, being able to channel my inclinations during proper business hours does not mean I don’t delve into where my heart truly wants to reside after hours, and this third book in Grayson’s The Consumed series warmed my heart and filled me with joy. Within it she gives us the story of Nathan and Emberleigh. Nathan being the disarmingly handsome security company owner with a hardcore penchant for voyeurism. A man so deeply connected to his kink that he obsessively watches and gleans pleasure from his unsuspecting neighbor from the apartment building across the street for years, all the while warring with himself as to whether or not he will bring his desires to her attention and see where things lead. And Emberleigh, a young woman with a mysterious past, working hard to become a nurse, to achieve her goals on her own while navigating the unknown around her. What follows is a languorously erotic tale that will charm you with its obsessiveness, and bring heat to your skin with every, single, building word.
Theirs is a story so vividly written you will feel as if you are standing beside Nathan admiring and feeding from the beauty and energy of Emberleigh’s acts of self-pleasure every step of the way. You will feel his need build and his desire for her overflow within you. As they progress you will as well, feeling the energy build further within you as if you are one with them as they encounter each other, explore their visual depths to where their mutual pleasure in each other is heightened further still through joint gazing at those around them. It is a story that in its entirety is a heady almost overwhelming affair, and it will consume your every thought, feeling, and need with every turning page…
I only wish I had realized this was the third and last book in a series of books as this is one that definitely would have made a bit more sense overall if I had read the two before it first. Unlike other series where books throughout can be read as standalones, that is not the case here, and I highly recommend you read them in order so that you glean the full understanding and appreciation of all the characters presented on the story world canvas.
Regardless of my own ability to recognize I was reading things backwards! This is a gorgeous and sinfully sexy story, one that will set your heart on fire and make your panties damp. And one that effortlessly makes my list of top reads for 2020. I highly recommend this series!
The characters are into voyeurism. The book can be read by itself but I think it probably reads better if you read it as part of its series.
I couldn’t get pass the first few chapters. Loss interest.
Good characters, nice blend between erotica and plot.
This book ‘s viewpoint made it alluring and interesting. I enjoyed the explosion of the man’s internal struggle and thinking. Some serious sizzles.
Very enjoyable
A good book you’ll enjoy
Good
