THANK YOU OH GODS OF NETGALLY!!! Seriously, ever since I was introduced to the fabulous process, I have been a very, very happy reader. It has opened me up to new phenomenal writers that I may have otherwise never have come to meet. Such as...Ms. Tracy Wolff!! I don't know ya, but I love ya! The best weekend reading I've done all month!!! I enjoyed two new reads and am still riding the adrenaline high.
5 Flashbulbs to:
FULL EXPOSURE
WooHoo, Mon Dieu!! This is a story full of the sexy, sensual haze of the bayou. Set in the oppressive and secluded Louisiana swamp, Serena and Kevin find the heat between them steams up hotter than the southern summer ever could. They find in each other what they always wanted and were terrified to even imagine. Each page brings them closer together, each new day brings them closer to combustion, each moment pulls them closer entwining them together.
Kevin is a famous sculptor whose reputation has every one at a safe distance, keeping to himself and never allowing anyone too close. The last woman that did burned him and the taste has lingered making him leery to open up and trust. Serena has been building up fame of her own, her photographs speak for themselves and it's her talent that brings her to Kevin's doorstep. Hired for a new photo essay book highlighting the sculptor, the sparks between the two begin to smolder from the start.
She's just supposed to be snapping pictures, he's just supposed to ignore her and work around her. But how do you ignore the chemistry and desire that has settled deep within them both. Serena has quite a past of her own; she has survived the unthinkable but it ha cost her. She has built up a steel skin in order to survive in everyday life. So who better than a sculptor to help bend, cut and shape that skin and let some one else in.
Lust and Love in the bayou. In FULL EXPOSURE Tracy Wolff gives you all the heat you could desire. Kevin's intensity in claiming Serena's body is palpable and more than once I had to put down the e-reader for a gulp of air. You feel it, his intensity and his love for her. It's tangible and confident even though she refuses, reputes it day after day. His desperation for her borders on madness for him and breaks your heart a little.
Beyond all the erotically delicious scenes that fill this book is the true gift...suspense! Yes, Ms. Wolff stirs up your senses with hands, lips and soul-retching encounters only to stop your heart cold with a stalker! Each and every word from his POV is just numbing, simply terrifying. Each escalation ratchets up the fear and anxiety. It was simply the best of both worlds.
5 TEQUILA SHOTS to:
TIE ME DOWN
OH MY...I MEAN...WHAT THE...??? Yes, that's all I have to say about this erotic, sinful and delicious novel. I was absolutely speechless and stunned with this one. I admit that after reading the above book from the same author I was ready (or so I thought) for some more of her magic, but OH NO!!!! NO WAY, was I ready for what Ms. Wolff threw at me in this one. So as my heart begins to once again race as I remember, I beg you to hold on.
New Orleans; sultry, sinful and ripe with those who want to be bad. It's the setting for this wicked story and is as much of a character as any written. Anyone who has ever visited the city can attest to that, it's a place alive with the desire and life of those that inhabit it. I am beyond thrilled that she did one of my favorite cities such justice.
It's a southern city and even though these are modern times ole habits die hard, so Detective Genevieve Delacroix has a bitch of a time being the only homicide detective in town. I adored her, tough as nails and still feminine and fragile at heart, she deals with the worst of the worst that the Big Easy has to offer and still carries herself with confidence. Genevieve has busted her ass to be one of the best that NOPD has to offer, and she's going to need every ounce of her skill and confidence to overcome her latest case.
Professional filmmaker; Cole Adams is in New Orleans for work and for an end to his own personal hell. An end that involves the detective, only she doesn't know it. All the careful planning, all the work that the controlling and closed off man ha done is blown to hell the moment the two meet. Genevieve brings Cole to his knees with a want he never could have dreamed would exist for him. It's too dangerous to want her, to be with her, but it's even worse to try and stop the storm that's brewing.
Breathless; that's what I was. Cole's dominant nature comes through loud and clear and had me whimpering with submission along with Genevieve. He is hot, overpowering and completely focused on his prey. He left me trembling with desire, weakened and panting for more. Cole Adams is the ultimate alpha whit just enough broken boy to make you swoon. Tracy Wolff has the ultimate gift in describing naughty, angry and obsessive encounters.
Torn between her need and desire to have Cole master her body and remaining in control herself, Genevieve is in a constant battle. She can't cave to this man, she can't give in now. Not when the case of her life has come full circle and the madman has drawn a bulls eye right on her. How well does she really know Cole, how much does she really know about anyone really? As the killer's noose tightens around her the fear she carries threatens to push Cole away and tear apart something that she isn't quite ready to acknowledge. Can two dominant people learn to bend to each other?
Yes, this story is filled with suspense and danger (some gore too), but it's the combination of that danger and the explosive passion between the two leads that snared me. I literally read from start to finish in one night. I COULD NOT PUT THE DAMN BOOK DOWN! Each new clue drew me in farther to the investigation, while each new encounter between the two had sweat building on my brow and tension building elsewhere. Large hands, bruised wrists, love bites and deliciously sore muscles all swirled and bubbled together to form a direct punch to the heart.
Yep, the heart. Yes this is a super naughty, dark story but it's also full of heart. I felt Cole's pain and anguish. Genevieve's fear, trepidation and sorrow was a knot in my stomach. The battle these two waged between themselves and the world was frustrating and infuriating at times, but the end was so worth it. I don't do spoilers, but I will say that I was so not ready for who the killer was! I was however ready for the HEA. This was a couple that I really pulled for, that I wanted to have peace and to find love.
I am sorry that I have been unable to quote from either story, but the proofs I received were not finalized and so I was given a big fat NO! I wish I could tempt and tease you with the sultry, sexy words I read. I wish I could give you a glimpse of the deep fear that I experienced. BUT, since I can't you'll just have to run out and grab FULL EXPOSURE & TIE ME DOWN by TRACY WOLFF for yourselves. I promise that it will be so worth it. Just remember to make sure you've cleared your schedule, because once you start you won't want to stop until every last ounce of pleasure has been squeezed from you!
