My name is Nathan Reines… and I’m a voyeur. Yes, I like to watch people have sex. Witnessing the desire on their faces as they writhe in ecstasy makes my blood hotter than the hottest flame. There’s nothing more erotic than seeing their bodies tighten and tremble as they balance on the edge of ecstasy. It makes my dick as hard as fucking steel.

I’ve never been tempted to have a lasting relationship with a woman—why get involved when watching from the sidelines is so fucking hot? But from the first time I watched the woman in the apartment across from mine, I knew she was different. She teases me with her soft touches and gentle caresses. She tempts me with her silent moans and sexy whimpers. She excites me, and makes me want more than I ever have before.

For two years, I refused to give in to my curiosity. That is, until fate took things in her own twisted hands. Now that I know what it’s like to experience Emberleigh in the flesh, there’s no damn way I could ever go back to simply watching.

Although this is book 3 in The Consumed Series, Watching Mine may be read and enjoyed as a STANDALONE.

My Rating:

Favorite Quotes:

I just wonder how far on the crazy bus I’m willing to go and if I’ll make it out unscathed at the end of the journey.

… she steals a part of me that I never knew was up for grabs.

You watching me made me feel special in a weird sort of way, like you found me good enough just by looking at me.

My Review:

Sizzle and snap, this book was atomically hot.  Knowing from the synopsis that the main character was a voyeur, I was afraid it was going to be creepy, but somehow it wasn’t.  This was my first experience reading the author and despite it being the third book of a series, the story stood perfectly fine on strong legs. Each book features a different individual from a group of four friends who had met several years prior while attending a sexual addiction therapy class, a class they had quickly decided to discontinue as they supported each other.  Their various preferences seemed to conveniently mesh and dovetail when pinch-hitters were needed, as one liked to watch and several liked to be watched, and I was still waiting for the creep factor.  Somehow this wily author made it all appear perfectly acceptable and it seemed to have worked for them as they had each found their own niche with a loving partner.  Watching Mine was cleverly woven with wanton erotic scenes, public exposure, expletives, and unconventional family structures, endearing flawed characters, and a surprisingly sweet romance.  The storyline was highly sensual, salacious, mesmerizing, and provocatively called forth sharp visuals and the need to frequently sip cool libation - oh my.  You could save on your heating bill by reading this one, possibly even during blizzard conditions.
