Serena: I am an inexperienced photographer who has only slept with 1 guy at the ripe old age of 20. Gustav: I am creepy vampire-esque man who waits for women outside my house. Serena: You must have sex with me. Gustav: You must have a drink with me. Serena: Fine. Oops I have to go to a party and be a cock tease while thinking of you. Gustav: You forgot your camera when you left. I looked through your pictures. I own a gallery. You will be my sex slave until all your pictures are sold and I will give you 50% of the profit. Serena: Okay. Sounds reasonable. Gustav: You will wear this chain everywhere. Serena: Okay. I take naughty pictures and will tell everyone about them. Gustav: I will make you move into my house with the room full of things that remind me of my terrible ex-wife. Serena: I love you. I hate you. I love you. I hate you. Gustav: I can't live without you. Stacie: Meh, this book had some hot scenes but overall, was just kind of silly. NetGalley ARC, series, trilogy, contemporary erotica, billionaire romance Characters: Serena, 20 year old photographer,damaged by parental neglect Gustav, 40 year old wealthy art patron/businessman, closed off from personal relationships by past history. Setting: London, Switzerland, modern day Atmosphere: secretive, voyeur Symbol: obvious--chain subtle--camera and/or black and white photos POV: first person, Serena Recommendation: For fans of Sylvia Day or EL James, less sex than Fifty, more character and world building. Also less pretentious use of “educated” vocabulary. Cliff hanger ending, if I have to wait too long for the sequel I’d lose interest, but it comes out pretty soon. This book was terrific. I loved it. In a way, it has a lot of similarities with Fifty Shades of Grey. It was a bit tamer, though, compared to 50 Shades of Grey. It didn't have anywhere near as much sex in it as 50 Shades of Grey. I loved the silver chain and how it tied this all together. All in all, this was a very lovely book and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book. The ending was just too juicy to wait for long. .5 bites DNF @4% Book source ~ NetGalley The narrator, a woman of 20, dumps her boyfriend and leaves her small town for the big city of London. She wants to be a photographer and that’s not going to happen back in Hicksville with Billy Bob. Or whatever the equivalent is in Britain. Her thoughts ramble on in such a pretentious and annoying fashion that I had to give up or go insane. For a 20-yr-old she sure sounds like a 50-yr-old. In any case, I tried to continue but when I got to the part where she meets the creepy guy in a dark alley and her thoughts take 5 million years to describe how hot and interesting he is (but never once thinking he might be a rapist or serial killer or maybe she did and I missed it in her multi-page rambling drivel) and then she says his stubble is frustrated and his cheekbones are snow-piste. Wtf?! Now she’s the really creepy one. Seriously? I was out of there. Nope. Good-bye. I kill them both in my head. The end. PS: There are probably people who eat this purple prose shit up. I am not one of them. As you can probably tell. no reviews | add a review
