°**°The Amatory series of Novellas starts with Rich! °**°
HJ Marshall brings the readers back to revisit Amatory in this Naughty Nights novella series, and introduces us to new characters who are within the trusted circle of Sebastian, Ivan and Nathaniel (S.I.N.), the ultimate in sexy alpha book boyfriends.
I absolutely loved this series, so for me it was a welcome return to see the men and the women whom they loved unconditionally. Their love didn’t come easy, so if you haven’t read the series, I highly recommend it, and you’ll see why these novellas are to me, a chance to re-visit the characters I loved.
Rich is up first, and he’s one of two brothers who first met S.I.N. in college, becoming their entrusted and wealthy employees. I loved their story and admired them both for their hard work ethic, showing that any background can be overcome. He’s almost desperate for the kind of love that the guys have, but his secretary spurns his every invitation, so with the inside skinny on her life, he has a special invitation planned just for her.
Likewise, Kara has had to work for everything she has, and as much as she would love to accept the dinner invitations from her boss, she isn’t going to risk losing everything for just one night of hot and sexy with him.
The anonymous invitation she receives has her stepping outside of her comfort zone. She wishes it could be that sexy boss of hers, but maybe it’s time to take a risk and move on. I loved being in her head as she worked through her though processes.
Rich is going big, or he’s going home…alone.
Yeah, it’s a long review for a little book because I think novellas are underrated in the reading world. I’m an addict and have to read damn near 24/7, so for me, to have a novella in my virtual back pocket for a quick read is important. So, it’s a 5 star because for me, this hot and spicy little bite brings me back to a favourite author and a favourite series, all while introducing me to fabulous new characters! Welcome back to Amatory. What is your pleasure?
I absolutely loved all of the Amatory series. They are amazing stories, and I was thrilled to learn H.J. Marshall was writing novellas to go with them. Given us a glimpse back into the sexy world of Amatory and our favorite characters lives, but with the bonus of all new love stories.
Rich and Kara ‘s story was just as amazing as the rest of the books. Rich has loved Kara for years and is done being turned down, now pulling out all the stops he is determined to win her love forever. Kara’s fear of not being good enough has held her back, but when she decides to take a leap of faith her prospective changes. Also love the set up for the next book. I can’t wait to read it. As always H.J doesn’t disappoint. If you haven’t been sucked into Amatory yet you need to be.
*proofed*
Sweeter than the other Amatory books thus far, it is a refreshing and sweet novella.
A quick and easy read with tangible need between the characters.
I really enjoyed seeing this side of H. J. Marshall’s writing.
