The English male character from Naked gets his own
say in this erotic sequel. Ethan Blackstone had begun a
mainly physical relationship with an American art student
called Brynne Bennett after buying a nude photo of her. A
rich businessman, Ethan provides security to VIPs.
ALL IN opens with Ethan remembering how great it had been
to see Brynne's art restoration work, then chastising
himself for losing her by having lied to her about why he
wanted to date her. Brynne agrees to have a conversation
with Ethan and tells
him of her past betrayal by a young rich man, and her less
than fully supportive family. She can't stand any more
betrayals and is scared of a complex relationship. However
he manages to persuade her to take him on again and they go
pretty much back to where they were. Ethan is still going
behind Brynne's back about her life and still expects sex
every time and place he wants it. But then some security
issues arise and give us some action.
ALL IN may appeal to fans of erotic romance novels and to
anyone who has enjoyed the first installment in The
Blackstone Affair series. Raine Miller has tried to appeal
to markets on both sides of the Atlantic with her mix of
characters, and American senatorial elections rear their
head to add some depth. Unfortunately, I was really
distracted by Ethan's frequent swearing because he uses
American words, not Anglo. The author notes at that, as an
American woman, she was not sure
how to write as an English man. I would suggest asking a
British person to read her dialogue and provide feedback.
The third book, Eyes Wide Open, will return to
Brynne's point of view.
The second part in The Blackstone Affair series!
Looming danger. A love worth fighting for. A man who’ll go
all in.
Ethan Blackstone has a problem on his hands. He’s broken
Brynne’s trust and she’s left him. He’s unwilling to live
without her and isn’t giving up—he’s dead-set on getting his
beautiful American girl back. The passion between them was
explosive, but the secrets they hid from each other are dark
and chilling and are powerful enough to destroy their shot
at a life together. With political threats now directed at
Brynne, Ethan is running out of time and he’ll need to
gather all his strength and agility to protect her from the
dangers that could take her away from him forever. Will
Ethan be able to save Brynne from a past that keeps her
locked in fear? Will he ever feel the warmth of her touch,
the solidity of her trust again? This is a love-struck man
who is willing to do whatever it takes to possess the heart
of the woman he loves. He’ll go to any lengths to protect
her. He’ll go all in.
Here is the fiery story of what happens when two people
surrender to a love so great it can heal the scars of the
past and give way to a life of pure, rapturous ecstasy.
