They say you never forget your first love...
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
“And by no
stretch of the imagination could what just happened be called sex. Sex doesn’t make skyrockets go off in your
brain, doesn’t make every single nerve ending in your body come alive. I have never – ever – felt anything close to
that before.”
“I would say –
in my inexpert opinion, mind you – that what just happened was really, really
incredible, toe-curling, mind-numbing, earth-shattering, out of this fucking
world, hot, hard, dirty sex. But… since
I’m far from an expert on the matter – and not very experienced – I’d say we
need to have several repeat performances before I could say for sure.”
“Gordon was
something of a cross between a stuffed shirt and a pompous ass,”
“He kissed her
as though he was starved for the taste and feel and smell of her – because he
was.”
“Meeting you
for the first time… was like getting hit square in the chest with a
thunderbolt.”
My Review:
Sensational was my first Janet Nissenson
experience, and soon after beginning, the quality and skill of her craft was
readily apparent. The characters were unique,
powerful, and well defined, and I adore a feisty and ballsy heroine. The story was extensively and richly detailed,
and incredibly sensual. I enjoyed most
of the characters and their humor, and clever wit. The two main characters shared an intense and
passionate chemistry that was mishandled by poor judgment – or was it? Maybe Ben’s fears were not groundless and he had
a point, but he didn’t go about making it well.
I grew a bit frustrated with the middle of the story when it seemed to stall
and retread back on itself into a rather angsty loop – which admittedly is not
my favorite trope - but the first and ending quarters were stellar.

Was meeting again an unfortunate twist of fate? Or was it just serendipity?
Nathan Atwood felt like the lowest sort of life form after seducing the incredibly beautiful girl he met in New York, only to break her tender heart with the confession that he was already involved with someone else. Julia McKinnon was convinced she’d found the one – the man of her dreams, the most seductive, experienced lover she’d ever known – and the night they’d spent together in New York was the stuff erotic fantasies were spun from. But with the dawn of a new day came only heartache and betrayal, and her dreams were snuffed out like so much fairy dust.

Sometimes true love doesn't always take the shortest or easiest path, but in the end it's always worth waiting for.
British hotelier Ian Gregson had it all – wealth, good looks, power, and a share in his family’s worldwide, multi-billion dollar luxury hotel chain. His very name was synonymous with sophistication and elegance, and any woman he wanted could be his with just a look. But the only woman he truly desired was strictly forbidden to him for too many reasons to count.
Tessa Lockwood was young, beautiful, and lonely, despite the fact that she was a married woman. Her life had not been an easy one, and the extravagant world she caught glimpses of as an employee of the Gregson Hotel Group was far beyond anything she could ever dream of. She could no more imagine herself ensconced in that sort of luxurious lifestyle than she could attracting the attention of her handsome, debonair boss.
Ian and Tessa secretly long for each other from afar, never daring to reveal their forbidden attraction to the other, until circumstances bring them together in a very unexpected way. And from that point on, nothing will stand in Ian’s way to finally make her his.

The Ghost
Angela Del Carlo has been living half a life, ever since he walked out on her, shattering her entire existence and leaving her to cope with picking up the fragments. Nothing seems to matter much anymore, and her life is a drab existence of work, run, repeat. She’s forgotten how to laugh, how to love, and even how to live. Most days she’s little more than a ghost.
The Devil
Nick Manning’s life has been one lived without compromise, without rules, and without regrets. Except for his one weakness, his one regret – Angela. What he did to her still tugs at his conscience, still fills him with remorse, and continues to haunt his dreams. But he stays away, knowing that he can never be the man she needs or give her what she deserves.
The Angel
But when fate intervenes and Angela’s and Nick’s paths cross again, she’s determined not to surrender her soul to the devil ever again, while he’s desperate to have his angel back in his arms – even if it means changing the rules to get it done.
