Review
To begin, I have a confession... I had all but sworn off reading Erotica. I'm not a prude, but I want to read a book with excellent characters and story instead of sex scene after sex scene. I'm also not looking for total shock value. Thanks Cassy Roop for giving me confidence that Erotica books can have depth.
Okay, now for the review...
See the summary above for basic plot line, because I want to jump into what I loved about this book. First, it is very well-written and edited; another problem I was finding in Erotica books. Even better, there are memorable characters with emotional depth. Ashley is struggling with what she knows she must do and what she wants, and it's tearing her up inside. Dominic is in pain and lashing out. Yet, I still felt the love underneath their pain and fear. (And I didn't even read book one!)
I was captivated by the story line and how Ashley was going to get out of a very rotten situation. There were twists and turns I wasn't expecting. The ending came at me fast and furious, leaving me breathless for the next book. Warning: It's a cliffhanger, and I was searching for the last page hoping it wasn't quite over.
And, yes, there are steamy sex scenes. Although they weren't mild by any means, it never stepped over to offensive in my humble opinion. It wasn't just about the physical release of sex; it was about the depth of their connection and emotion.
I highly recommend Figure Eight for readers who want amped up sex but aren't willing to sacrifice story and characters to get it.
