Woah! Ok so I am slightly confused (but I am sure that will get cleared up when the series continues). Then intensity in this book is OFF THE CHARTS!!! Greyson and Caden seem like the ideal couple. They are the perfect example of how you never know what goes on behind closed doors. How these 2 deal with the underlying issues….. sex. Not the nice hearts and flowers kind. As confused as I am, this is a fantastic book…. and I am eagerly awaiting the next installment! These characters have embedded themselves into my brain and into my heart. Intense! Sexy! Thought provoking! Great characters! A great start to what I think will be a phenomenal series!
“He wasn’t the man I’d married, but he was my husband.”
GOOD GOD people!!! I don’t even know where to start. This book was absolutely outstanding and had vintage C.D. Reiss feels. It was intense and raw and so gripping. I could not stop reading the minute I started. Greyson and Caden were fire! Their chemistry was combustible and the genuine love they have for each other was palpable. I could not get enough of this story!
Without giving away and spoilers this book opens where we are immersed into the life of Greyson and Caden who married each other while meeting while deployed. Now Greyson is back home and having to transition to civilian life with a husband she spent more time away from than with. But when deep dark secrets emerge, Greyson will have to enter into the fight of her life to save the man she married.
GAHH! This story was amazing. Greyson and Caden were so addicting and compelling to read. Rough Edge is sexy, edgy and pushed all of our boundaries. It is also haunting and honest with a mysterious and intriguing edge. It is one of the hottest goddamn books C.D. Reiss has ever written. I got Jonathan Drazen feels and I loved every second of it. I seriously can not wait for book two! Bravo! 5 stars! Ratula
Rough Edge follows a married couple, Caden and Greyson. They met while in active duty. There is a little bit of toggling between past and present but for the most part this book is focused on these two living as a married couple and civilians for the first time.
Caden is a heart surgeon and Greyson is starting her own psychiatric practice. She is focusing on helping vets dealing with PTSD. These two are madly in love and can’t keep their hands off each other until suddenly Caden starts becoming cold towards Greyson one minute and obsessed with her another. Greyson starts to worry what Caden’s behavior means but what she initially thought, isn’t what’s going on. In fact, as a reader you really don’t know what’s going on either.
I really don’t think I should say any more, not that I could explain what is going on anyway. One thing I can say is it was a total mind trip. I went into this book blind and I highly recommend doing the same. It’s an experience this author is known for giving her readers. It’s going to have you scrambling to try to figure out what is going on, how far this author is going to take this and who will these people be when it is all said and done.
The author leaves us hanging on a pretty big moment and I need the second book NOW!!!
ROUGH EDGE by CD Reiss is the First book in The Edge Series. NOte there is a book before this one called Cutting Edge 0.5 in the series. This is the story of Caden and Greyson . Caden is a heart surgeon but their are other things going on with him. Greyson is starting up her psychiatric practice to help people with PTSD. So each have so much happening to them professionally.
Caden and Greyson are married and they love each other but Caden starts to become distance which makes Greyson wonder what is going on. This naturally sets off the onset of issue in their love and marriage. This book does set us up for the next installment in their lives…the next book is called’ On the Edge’.
Really looking forward to learning more abut this couple!!
Aaaahhhh….. A new series from C.D. Reiss, The Edge Series, YES YES YES!!!!
Rough Edge (The Edge #1), Greyson and Caden, their undeniable love and marriage grew out of the ashes of the devastation of a War! But now as they face a civilian life where their love and marriage should blossom and flourish their minds/bodies and love/marriage will instead fight the ultimate WAR, a WAR unlike any they’ve faced before!!!
This is book 1 and right from the beginning my senses were tingling with anticipation while I was in a constant state of mind-numbing-bending-blowing fascination and it never let up to the very last words…. And those last words have left me dangling from a dark, beautiful, jagged ROUGH EDGE!!!!!
WHEW, insanely-erotic-mind-twisting-masterpiece!!!!!
Looking for a story that will consume you? Make you question everything and have you exhilarated and in a constant state of sizzling arousal from cover to cover? The Edge series is definitely for you! This book is sexy, electrifying, suspenseful PERFECTION!
I finished with a gasp. Closed my kindle cover and stared at the wall. REELING. AMAZED. IMPRESSED beyond belief by the power of the written word to evoke so many emotions. Got the side eye from my husband because I was mumbling and wide eyed. Lol.
Christine Reiss is an incredible author. I usually describe her writing as super intelligent. On a level of her own. I think a few fans are referring to this as Reissism. She deserves this branding wholeheartedly. Nothing cocky about it. (See what I did there?) Ok let me focus…
Incredible attention to detail. And I mean ALL the detail. In every aspect of this storyline from the military references, to the medical field and relationships. Covers all the bases with precision. Impeccable wording, descriptions and comparisons. Beautifully articulated. Complex and such well developed characters. Unique storyline. Add the suspense factor – mind blown! Whatever my expectations were when I started reading – were obliterated in spectacular fashion.
Caden & Greyson are fascinating characters. They are from very different backgrounds yet brought together while serving the greater good. Meet while in the army. Caden is a surgeon. Greyson a psychiatrist. They fall in love, marry and eventually get out of the army to settle down as civilians in New York. Fantastic use of time hops kept me transfixed while providing crucial back story. All so beautifully written I could visualize everything like a movie playing out in my head. I am dying to know how this story will unfold.
If you like thrilling, exhilarating, steamy, hot as hell reads – you will devour Rough Edge. This series is going to be mind blowing, I have no doubt. 1st book of 4 and I already know we are in for a powerful, intriguing, electrifying adventure.
Twiddling my thumbs while I impatiently count down to book 2. I’m in that space where after finishing such an off the charts amazing book – it will be hard to pick up another. Every author aspires to this – CD Reiss has achieved this time and time again in my opinion.
CD Reiss go backs to her roots to brings us this amazing new series.
This is the beginning of the story of Caden and Greyson a couple that has been apart for a while as they both are serving their country in different locations of the world..
Caden is an army captain (military surgeon) that is very successful and has seeing more than he wishes for, he is suffering of some form of backlashes after the war, they think is some kind of PTSD but they are not sure what really is going on with him.. this shadow comes and go and is treating his life, his marriages, his sanity.. he is afraid he is going to lose it all and he will lose her too if he doesn’t figure this shadow soon..
Greyson is a very successful psychiatrist in the military, she is very successful treating patients that suffer from PTSD she is even helping with the symptoms her own husband, Caden is developing.. she is tired and desperate of fighting with his demons.. she doesn’t know what is going on with him, his constant mood changes are so fast she doesn’t see them coming anymore.. she is trying to figure what is making him lose control but everything seem impossible..
He craves control, he craves her submission.. he is seeking something that he still doesn’t recognized, Greyson is seeing all the signs, she knows what he needs.. she knows what he craves but still she doesn’t know him anymore.. there is a stranger living inside of him.. and there is only one hope.. its just about time for this new therapy to “help” and finally decipher what is making Caden to feel this way.. so lost and blind of what is going on around him..
This is the beginning of a great story.. it is dark and intriguing you will never know and see what is coming next.. you can feel the love and the passion between Caden and Greyson .. the desperation between them to be together but at the same time confused to know how to be that way when there is a shadow moving between them..
The sex is amazing, the dirty talking is amazing, the chemistry between them is off the charts.. you are going to love Caden and Greyson!!
be ready for the intense passion between these two!!
I cant wait to read more of Caden and Greyson story, so many questions left behind.. The beginning of great story and an amazing couple..
OMG!!! What does the ending mean?! I’m going to have to come up with some brainstorming ideas and see if I’ll be right. My thoughts are going to be very vague because I’m not put any spoilers in this thread. So this has to be a book I wasn’t expecting at all based on the blurb alone, and I’m mainly talking about Caden and Greyson’s career backgrounds. Which isn’t a bad thing and therefore this is something I haven’t read from CD before in that aspect so I think this is a good direction for a palette cleanser.
I’m excited to see where this story goes. At times the story felt jumpy, and trying to remember where in the month/timeline I’m at (side note: I read this book in 5 days because life got in the way so maybe that’s probably why), but I also wonder how far in the future we will go in the upcoming books.
I’m also starting to like already married couples, because you don’t have to go through the trials of the main H/h getting together. And also RONIN!!!!!!! I already want him to have his own book!!! Its a great thing this 4 book series are going to be released 1 month apart, so the waiting time won’t be too bad.
They met in the military, married during the war, and returned home together. However, when her husband returned he was a changed man. A darkness had rooted deep inside of him. Something he brought back from Fallujah, maybe? Had it been there all along? All Greysen knew was she loved her husband and was willing to make whatever sacrifices necessary to bring back the man she married.
He jumped into the military after 911 while she was born into a military family. He was a military surgeon while she was a military therapist. Together they helped soldiers rebuild themselves after the war tore them apart.
Overall:
A marriage built on forgiveness and unconditional love were the only two things glueing them together. Built around a military setting Caden and Greysen invested both of there time on active duty and civilian life. They had an intense sexual chemistry. When Ms. Reiss broached the topic of sex she certainly edged the darkness with some kink.
I recommend investing in the entire series referred to as Girl on the Edge. It includes all four books: On the Edge, Broken Edge, Over the Edge and Rough Edge. This box set is smokin’ hot.
I’ve come to expect the graphically sexual nature of CD Reiss’s books. This one didn’t disappoint with its explicitly sexual and erotic nature. It was tasteful.
The many layers built around the military, the sex, and the Blackwater assignment gave this story that dark edge. It most definitely is a seductive book. Reading they way these two characters grew was impressive. It was
intense, raw and honest.
CD Reiss wrote a smart believable story. There was a healthy balance between the sex and the military life. While this has a military theme the concept went in a different direction taking with it the after affects of serving in a brutal and violent war.
This book can kind of be scary or any type of way but you guys could say anything yeah.
Psychological thriller meets romance. Meets an intensity of love I often found too much to handle. I’d put this book down for days until I could find the stamina to keep reading. It’s a compelling story. The writing is on par with Stephen King in its ability to suck you right up close to the angst overriding the characters. That’s a hard, scary place to be for me as the reader. But I’ve finished it now, and like any good serial, it asks a question only the next installment can answer. This question: Who is Damon? I am anxious to find out.
Great story line.
I’m going to buy the second book, love the author!
I absolutely loved this book. Couldn’t put it down!
Very well written. I would have rated it 5 stars except for the fact that it ended in a CLIFFHANGER.
This author never disappoints
Interesting
Excellent, not what I expected at all, but you cannot put it down!!
Very original story! Easier to read the series all in a row rather than piece by piece.
4 1/2
Stay away from caffeine for this ride.
The story is very well written. It’s intense, addictive, edgy and the need to get to the bottom of the mystery is tormenting. I don’t know yet what is the “cause or causes” for what is going on, no spoilers, but it is a psychological rollercoaster.
