Description

“Pretty Woman meets Indecent Proposal in Explicitly Yours, a seductive series that’ll leave your heart racing.”—Louise Bay, USA Today Bestselling Author

Lola Winters doesn’t think she can escape her life as a waitress—until she receives a shocking proposition from a sexy stranger. Wealthy businessman Beau Olivier wants Lola for a night, and in order to get her, he’s willing to make her dreams come true.

But Beau’s conditions are explicit. From sunset to sunrise, Lola must submit all of herself to him—body, mind, and soul. Because nothing is more important to Beau than maintaining control...especially over his possessions.

Sometimes, though, things don’t go according to plan. What if one night isn't enough? What if come sunrise, Beau isn’t ready to say goodbye?

    Great book. Great storyline. Cliffhanger. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

    Very good story that challenges you to think: do I have a price and what would it be? Bonus: sexy scenes are hot.

    I just reviewed “Domination” before I finished reading it because it was too good to put off any longer, but I shouldn’t have waited to review this first book in the series. Exceptional. The story is believable, engaging, perfectly paced as the characters and their relationships develop along with the plot. Nothing (the writing, the characters, the plot) is over-worked or overly dramatic for the sake of drama. Truly, Jessica Hawkins’ writing is unassuming perfection. It doesn’t get in the way and it does what it should do: tells the story, engages the reader without distraction or disruption and brings the reader into and along with the characters and their stories. Love, love, love this series.

    NOT A STANDALONE! If you want the full story, you have to buy the rest of the series. Less cussing. Some editing issues with typos. Written in 3rd person. You can really feel the struggle for each character and appreciate what they go through. Definitely inspired by Indecent Proposal.

    I loved reading this story about three people lusting after different things. Some get what they are after. But at what price?
  • Weak writing

    Basic dialogue style. Especially toward the end. So many promises and it’s all talk because the author couldn’t deliver it through words.
  • Good.

    Hands down the most infuriating series I have ever read. I read all 5 books including book 2.5 from Beau’s perspective. It was a rollercoaster. This author incorporated control, dominance, pride, insecurity, fear, hate, vengeance, rage, revenge, jealousy, superiority complexes, narcissism, forgiveness, self realization, love and a host of other emotions in this series. In my honest opinion the series doesn’t start to pick up until almost the very end of book 2- Domination. That is where you see crossroads, decisions and real emotion. Prior to that I spent my time battling whether or not I even wanted to finish the series. That was most because Beau, the male protagonist was easily the worst character I have ever read about (so unlikeable). He was the kind of guy that you’d warned your friend to stay away from and although it is a book, it was difficult to digest that anyone could be that deplorable. And he remained that way.. until he didn’t. I consider my strong reaction to him a testament to the authors depth in creating her characters and overall the author did an excellent job of allowing the reader to see the transformation he went through. I really loved that although this story carried a large power imbalance from the very beginning, at the end the female protagonist found herself. That’s refreshing for this genre of literature and while I did not at all feel like this was a romance series for the majority of my reading, (it felt like everything but love and romance in the traditional sense) and couldn’t see how the author would be able to spin it that way with very few chapters left - I ended the final book feeling like I’d read about a real love story with a true happy ending. One of my complaints is the constant use of certain words that I found to be offensive. The profanity was one thing but some of the other word choices were extreme to say the least. Overall, the series was good.

    Lola Winters and boyfriend Johnny want to buy the historic bar they worked in. Brent Olivier makes an indecent proposal to Lola, a million dollars for one night. Is one night rally enough? Can't wait to find out in book 2
