REVIEW

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

**** I received this arc in exchange for an honest review***

This book is about two desperately messed up people who come together.

Grayson has just escaped an abusive relationship and moves home. She has a twin who is the complete opposite to her. Lena drags her sister out and thinks that Grayson should have fun.

Grayson didn't count on meeting Derrick who is equally messed up.

This story is about basically two people that enter a friends with benefit relationship, but both of them denying how they feel about each other until tragedy strikes.

I've seen the other reviews and whilst I can agree to some extent this is a work of fiction after all, but all in all these situations can happen in real life and that's what I liked about this book.

Yes there is cheating, yeas there is two women that have one night stands so apparently they are called sluts. But there are also men in this book that do the same.

The book was well written and you can get in grossed in it.

This book isn't for you if you are really against cheating, violence, sleeping around. If this doesn't bother you to read these things then have a read I can guarantee you will like this.

I for one want to read the next book.

COVER REVEAL VOYEUR EXTRAORDINAIRE BY CORA REILLY @CoraReillyBooks

 

Book Title: Voyeur Extraordinaire 

Author: Cora Reilly 

Genre: Romance 

Release Date: October 2014 

Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions

 

Living in a dank one room apartment and working as a waitress in a shabby bar, Nora didn’t think her life could get any worse. But that’s before sexy-as-hell Adrian Black moves into the apartment across from her bedroom window and she’s caught spying on him having sex. Now he has set his eyes on her. Not falling prey to his panty-dropping smiles proves to be a challenge Nora isn’t sure she’s ready for – especially since the most action she ever had are the butt slaps from leery customers at work. An encounter with Adrian involving a healthy dose of pent-up tension and too much alcohol leads to an awkward night that none of them will likely forget. But it’s only the beginning... “Every night I take out my binoculars, direct them at the window of my neighbor Adrian Black and watch him banging a new girl, and every night I wish the girl was me. Where the hell is a shooting star when you need one?“ 

 

After extinguishing the lights, I drew back the curtains and took my usual seat on the windowsill. I peered through my binoculars and found Adrian's window within seconds. It was illuminated, but I hadn't expected anything else. It was ten o'clock after all. Another redhead was pressing her body against Adrian, thrusting her tongue into his mouth. He was already shirtless and a soft sigh left my lips as I gazed at his perfect chest. I didn't approve of his changing sex partners but I tried not to think about it. Not that it was any of my business. The women probably knew what they were getting into. As long as I got to see him naked, I was satisfied. Adrian unzipped the dress of the redhead and it dropped to the ground, leaving her completely naked. She wasn't even wearing underwear! Where did Adrian get his women? I never went anywhere without underwear. That felt wrong. Almost perverted. But who was I to call someone a pervert? I was a waxed peeping Tom with strange looking labia. I certainly didn't have the right to judge anyone. I returned my attention to the scene in Adrian's bedroom. He'd gotten naked during my inner monologue and had the women bent over and bracing herself on the windowsill. Her forehead was leaning against the glass of the window and Adrian was standing behind her. I had to admit I was a bit worried. If Adrian pounded her with his usual vigor, the poor woman would probably end up with a concussion from having her forehead thrust against the glass. The redhead didn’t seem to share my worries, though. She looked as if she couldn't wait for Adrian to push into her. I shifted my binoculars slightly to take a look at Adrian's face. And then I was staring directly into green eyes and he was staring back at me. He. Was. Staring. Back. At. ME. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. There wasn't a single doubt in my mind that Adrian was currently looking at me while I was watching him like a freaking stalker. Oh shit, shit, shit. I should have been more careful. He had noticed me! I froze and for a seemingly endless amount of time, we were just looking at each other. The woman didn’t seem to notice. She wiggled her ass against him, encouraging him to get started. Suddenly the corner of Adrian’s mouth lifted and he smiled at me smugly. What? My heart skipped a beat. Holy shit! Was he actually flirting with me? My hand that was holding the binoculars shook so much, I was worried I'd drop them any second. Not taking his eyes off me and still smiling this cocky smile, he grabbed the hips of the redhead and pushed into her, never taking his eyes off me. I gasped and my hand covered my mouth in shock. He'd noticed me and yet he didn't stop. He seemed to like it. His green eyes were so intense as his face clouded with ecstasy. 

 

I'm an author of erotic romance and New Adult novels. I live in one of the ugliest cities of the world with too many pets and only one husband. I'm a lover of good food, wine and books and I'm addicted to Dexter, Californication and Big Bang Theory.

When starting this book I didn't expect it to the way it was, and I was extremely pleasantly surprised. This book was just WOW, I loved every minute of it.

It was such a refreshing read and I was pulled into the storyline.

Briana this is a great read, I loved and felt sorry for Quinn such a terrible experience for her to go through. Chase sexy Chase he knew what he wanted and he didn't stop, I loved the connection that he and Quinn have and that he was her saviour.

This book was so well written, the plot different and fantastic and the characters beautiful. I loved Ginger a as well and I cannot wait for the next book for her story, I'm intrigued with her past.

Briana thank you for writing a great book and I look for to the next.

Synopsis: *Author Note: This is not your average romance story. Some people will kill for love.*

He’s come to kill me. I’m a user and abuser of my own body. In the darkest hour I sold my soul to the devil and now I must pay the price. With his gun to my head I have no choice but to listen and obey, but I refuse to go down easily. Nothing is stronger than the will to survive. My instincts kicked into full gear the second he stepped into my motel room. Except when I look at him I see my own heart staring back at me. A history tainted by blood. I don’t know his name, but I know he wants me. To save myself I’ll sacrifice my sanity. My body. My soul. Something tells me the x-shaped scar that marks his eye is the only escape I have. He is Mr. X; the man who comes to claim my life. Can I save myself before he demands my heart? WARNING: This book contains very disturbing situations, dubious consent, breath depravation, strong language, drugs and alcohol, and graphic violence, which may be considered triggers. 

Excerpt 

 

Walking to the bed, I try not to pay attention to her. Try not to notice her fearful eyes and shaking hands as I tear the blanket away from her. I hold up the gun and point it at her.

“Are you going to kill me now?”

“Yes.”

She swallows, tears flooding her eyes. I refuse to let it get to me.

“I understand …” she murmurs. “Please, let me watch the sunrise.”

“What?”

“The sunrise. I want to see it one last time.”

My mind suddenly stops working. Baffled. That’s what I am. This one thing she asks of me peels away the layers of protection I built around myself long ago. The request is one that I didn’t expect of her, even though I know her so well. I never imagined she’d still want to watch it come up. Memories long forgotten, but the desire to repeat past experiences still linger. She is still that same person.

Only in a much more fucked-up way.

I shake my head and sigh again. I jerk at the ropes, undoing them quickly, as I don’t want to waste any time. I refuse to let this get to me. I have a job to do. This needs to be done, end of story. She needs to die. I will be the one to pull the trigger.
