It's time again to share with you a book that I read and reviewed just for you!
Contest & Prize details at the bottom, so make sure you read em.
This week we have Sex Club Secrets which is book 3 in the Gods of Love Series by Jennifer Lynn.
Ella is in love with her best friend Kade. But her love has not been
returned, and when bisexual Kade shows no signs of becoming romantic toward
her, she decides to call a halt on her unrequited love and accept an invitation
to a celebrated Melbourne sex club.
Kade is distressed when the woman he is beginning to see as more than
a friend decides to visit Secrets before he can tell her how he feels. He
follows her into the club and witnesses her at play with the enigmatic Anteros,
a sexy god-like man who seems to know exactly how to satisfy her innermost
cravings. But Anteros also feeds the hidden desires within Kade. How can he
admit his feelings for Ella when he's not sure he can commit with his whole
heart?
Anteros is one of the erotes, an aspect of Eros and the ancient Greek
god of requited and unrequited love. He has heard the call of these would-be
lovers and intends to show them that friendship can sometimes be the best place
to kick start a lasting romantic relationship. But love cannot flourish unless
it is returned, and how will he convince Kade—a man who occasionally enjoys
other men—that he can be true to the woman he loves? What will happen to this
couple when the night ends and they return to the real world outside the door
of Secrets?
Has one of the gods of love finally taken on a challenge he cannot
fulfill?
Excerpt:
"Welcome to Secrets, Ella. We're really glad you
decided to join us this evening." Her voice was husky and sensual, and a
primitive quiver darted across Ella's skin. Wow.
"Thank you," she answered, her skittering heart
lending a slight breathlessness to her own voice. "My, ah, friend decided
not to join me this evening, so—"
"That's fine." The woman's mouth curled up at one
corner in an expression that was almost sly. "Quite often we find it
better if patrons come alone, anyway. Less chance of inhibitions getting in the
way. Come through, Ella. There's someone here who's been waiting to meet
you…very impatiently, I must say."
Her tone was indulgent. Whoever was waiting was clearly a
favored—what had she called it?—patron.
Ella's curiosity grew as the other woman wrapped long,
crimson-tipped fingers around her upper arm and drew her further into the
venue. Would whoever was waiting to meet her be the one who had sent the
invitation? Would it be someone she knew?
I hope not.
The only person for whom she had sexual feelings had been
left outside the door of the club seething with displeasure at his vanilla
friend daring to try something new. And without his approval, either.
Bad luck, Kade. I'm here tonight for me. No one else. Just
me. And my unrequited desires, apparently.
The flip-flop of her stomach sent a wave of warmth spiraling
downward and her womb squeezed in nervous anticipation of what might lie ahead.
I'm in a freaking sex club! I can't believe I'm here.
Rach's Review: 5 out of 5 DivasThis book was a great addition to my erotic romance shelf. Ella loves Kade, Kade loves Ella, but neither one has been able to admit their feelings to the other. Finally, Ella is tired of waiting around for Kade, knowing she can never have him. He dates guys, after all. So when an invitation arrives on her desk to come to the Sex Club on her 30th birthday, she decides what the hell?
Little does she know that her invitation has come from Anteros, the Greek God of unrequited love. But when she enters his erotic world, all the while wishing Kade were there to share it with her, she's swept away from reality. Anteros, determined to help these two work out their love life while receiving nothing in return, can't help but wish just for once, he could keep his very own couple.
What else can I say about this little story except HOT, HOT, HOT! These three characters come alive on the page, and though the story is a short one, all three have wounds, damage from their pasts they're trying to heal. I would have loved to see more of their backstories in an extended version of this book, but since we get all three POVs through the book, I felt like I knew quite a bit about these characters. There was also this reference toward the beginning of the book that I will not give away but that I thought was so damned clever and funny, I had to give it a full 5 Divas! Definitely worth a read. Go get it! (Buy links are below)
