BEING ME, Part 2 of the , begins
right
where Part 1 left off. Sara has learned some unsettling
information about the darker desires in Chris; and has run
to the storage unit to grab Rebecca's journals. After the
lights go out and Sara is trapped in the storage unit, she
turns to Chris for help. He takes the frightened Sara home
to his apartment; and after getting their relationship on
more stable, settled ground, Chris leaves for a business
trip to Los Angeles.
Sara continues working her job at the art gallery, Allure,
carefully watching her boss Mark. After meeting one of his
business associates, a roguish and good looking real estate
developer named Ryan Kilmer; Sara wonders if they might be
the 'Master' and friend who were mentioned in the journals
as men Rebecca was shared with. As Sara continues working,
she looks for clues to not only Rebecca's mysterious
disappearance; but to that of her good friend Ella, who went
off to Paris after a whirlwind marriage, and then just
vanished. Chris has hired a couple of Private Investigators
to look into the disappearance of both women, but few clues
are turning up to either. Sara has a number of run-ins at
work with jealous coworker Ava, who she soon learns is a
member of Mark's sex club herself; and has ties with all the
major male players in Rebecca's life.
When Chris returns from LA, they begin living together and
shoring up their relationship. He assures her that he no
longer needs the kind of lifestyle he enjoyed at the sex
club; and has no interest in a D/s relationship with Sara.
Mark, however, keeps sowing seeds of discontent in Sara's
mind. He seems to have plans for her, and she is trying to
keep her job while dancing around Mark's dark desires.
After Chris and Sara appear together at a function for one
of the charities he supports, Sara learns more about his
philanthropic side. When a man from Sara's past appears and
threatens her at the gala, Chris learns Sara's darkest, most
guarded secret. Shortly after, a very unsettling event
occurs that throws Chris back into the very lifestyle which
he promised Sara he no longer needed.
BEING ME is not a standalone read. The trilogy is basically
one book cut into three parts, and it is necessary to read
them in order. While erotic, the sex is much more 'glitter'
than
kink. Most of the lifestyle aspect is referred to offhand,
but not (yet) a central part of the story. There is a lot
of angst and drama in the book; and the story often moves
along rather slowly with not a lot happening. This is
because the story is being stretched almost to the breaking
point to get three books out of what could really be told in
one book. The story ends in a mild cliffhanger.
Fascinated by the dark fantasies in the journals she's
discovered, and the two men who have now found a place in
her life, Sara McMillan finds herself torn between her new
life and her past. Now, more than ever, Sara identifies with
the missing journal writer, Rebecca, and is certain that
something sinister has happened.
In the arms of the sexy, tormented artist Chris Merit, Sara
seeks answers about Rebecca and ends up discovering things
about herself she never knew existed. Chris forces Sara to
reconsider who she is and what she truly wants from life,
but his dark desires threaten to tear them apart. Her boss,
Mark Compton, offers her the shelter to understand just what
those needs mean to her, and what they might have meant to
Rebecca--but can she trust him to lead her to a final
conclusion to Rebecca's story?
