“I loved the complex characters in this story. They had secret lives in a place where everyone lives under a microscope. I enjoyed this book very much.” —Debb’s Reads
“This book was so so so good and it was an absolute joy for me to read this and to see the whole Quantum family come together was nothing short of bliss for me.
I didn’t think that I would actually love Hayden. Like yes. Love no. But I did! Gosh did I love his character so much! It was just do amazing to see Hayden transform. Sure, that tough guy still exists but by the end of the book he had a certain warmth to him that had previously lacked. Ms. Force did such an amazing job with this book and to make me love a character that I had previously hated is nothing short of amazing. —New Chicks on the Blog

What’s not to love. I was instantly invested in the characters in this story. I couldn’t put it down until I got my happy ending.
This series has been pure catnip for me! Smart strong women who go after what they want, and men that are flawed, but have so much love to give. Hayden and Addison are no different. Both in unrequited love with each other before an accidental kiss changes the rules.
This couple! So much passion pent up between them, I loved the fireworks, the heat, the emotion. When they finally committed to each other it was magic. I loved this book!
Very compelling. Read all volumes. Couldn’t put it down
The whole series is worth it.
4 stars
I purchased a copy of the steamy New York film production and BDSM based novel Rapturous: Addie and Hayden part 1/ Natalie and Flynn part 4 in the 8 novel collection Quantum Boxed Set: The Complete Series by Marie Force and this review was given freely.
A story of doubts, insecurity, love and healing but with a darker emphasis in the form of childhood neglect, addiction, and some vivid BDSM scenes. Riding the high of a clean sweep at the Golden Globes, SAGs, BAFTAs and now the Oscars; broody and emotionally broken filmmaker Hayden and Flynn’s personal assistant Addie finally give in to their ten year mutual attraction only to have Hayden repeatedly hurt her but yet not able to give her up.
18+ Recommended. Contains the continued lives of the Quantum group with a heavier emphasis on Hayden and Addie with a major portion spent on repetition of feelings,insecurities, indecision and desires. Ends Happily with a hint as to the next couple.
Love this series!
So here we are with Addison and Haden. Haden, being stubborn man, who thinks love is not for him. Addison, who is sweetest person in the world thinks will change Haden’s mind. And its true what they say love will conquer it all in the end. And that is what happened here my friends. Haden couldn’t control anything around him whenever Addison was around him or mentioned at all by somebody else in the group. Marie Force has done an amazing job with this story, characters, and their emotions. I would definitely recommend it and worth 5*****
Loved it!
Absolutely loved this book!!
Enjoyed it although being taken by the ass sounds painful
Hayden Roth has issues, big issues, lots of issues. He’s all about control because it’s the only way he can handle his issues. Addie York has loved Hayden for years and after their big Oscar’s night kiss she’s decided to take matters into her own hands and seduce him. Though surprised at her boldness, he allows her to have her way with him only to leave in the middle of the night and ignore her the next day. Hayden loves Addie but does not consider himself good enough for her given his lifestyle and control issues. He’s convinced that he’s not the one for her. He proceeds not once but several times to almost break her heart but what he doesn’t count on is Addie’s resolve to make him hers and vice versa. Hayden finally agress to train Addie as his submissive and he finds peace for the first time in his life, being with the woman he loves. A close call finally cements the rightness of them being together and living their happily ever after.
Although I liked the book, it was not as good as the first Quantum book. Hayden is a loveable jerk, and Eddie is too good. Also, the father’s dislike of Hayden was over the top for the incident he saw. It’s Hollywood, I’m sure he’s seen worse! I loved the fact that I got to enjoy the characters from the first book! I recommend this book highly if you like happily ever after!
My very first written review, new to this author, now on book 6 without going to another book for a break, read every chance I could, love everything about these books, wonderful characters, lots of heart, love the friendships, sexy scenes were hot. Will have to finish. Will revist.
This is about as good as it gets. It had BDSM from a beginners point of view as well as from someone experienced. The characters were great and multifaceted. No one was getting shot or beaten up or stabbed and the heroine didn’t wind up pregnant (babies are SO not sexy). What it had was raw emotion and sex so hot I had to ware asbestos gloves to read it. It had a wonderful beginning, middle and end and I loved reading every page. Fantastic read!
This is well written and hard to put down once started.
Loved this book
I really enjoyed this book!
Love this series! The characters are great and have great chemistry!
Another spectacular Marie Force book
Love this entire series! Can’t wait for the next one!!
