Arouse

First off I admit that it took a little bit of time for me to get into the story line. I'd been told that it was worth persisting with, so continued. I'm so glad that I did. This is a stunning read.

The plot is refreshingly original and the writing impeccable. Dean and Olivia appear to have it all, until an incident acts as a catalyst and triggers a series of events to throw their perfect marriage into chaos.

Their once solid, loving relationship hangs in tatters as our main characters try to work their way through the ever increasing issues and feelings caused by poor judgement and communication.

The angst caused by jealousy, misunderstanding and confusion is very real, as is the physical attraction Dean and Olivia have for one another. Sparks igniting a mutual passion for one another, although this isn't enough to keep them from falling apart. The cliffhanger wasn't unexpected but still leaves me yearning for more. Beautiful.

Allure and Awaken will be in my reading future.
