Because You Are Mine #2.6
When I'm with You: When You Trust Me
Part 6 in new 8 part serial.
The next serial sensation from Beth Kery, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Because You Are Mine.
New York Times bestselling author Beth Kery's blistering new novel of a man and woman bound by the scandalous secrets of the past--and by the sexual hunger that still fuels their uncontrollable desires...
Restaurateur and self-exiled heir Lucien Lenault's first look at the breathtaking young chef trainee for his trendy Chicago restaurant is a shock. She's Elise Martin, daughter of a wealthy French fashion designer. She's also the holder of a secret that could explode his carefully laid plans.
Notorious for her flagrant exhibitionism, and for flouting the respectable façade of her aristocratic background, the coquine's wild streak shocked most people. Not Lucien. He was tempted by it. It was a deliriously punishable offense as far as Lucien was concerned. But taking on Elise is more than a game. She's a catastrophe waiting to happen, an inferno that's burned many a lover. Lucien isn't most men, however, and he won't allow her to manipulate him. In order to control the defiant beauty--in order to see her submit--he's going to have to willingly walk in the flames...
More to come. Don't miss When I'm With You, Part II, available 3/12

Dear Reader,
When I'm With You continues the story begun in Because You Are Mine, although this time the camera lens is focused on Lucien and Elise, whose undeniable and scorching desire for one another burns away surface facades, revealing secrets that will forever change Lucien, Elise, Ian and Francesca's lives.
Please note that like Because You Are Mine, When I'm With You will be released in eight parts, each installment debuting weekly.
I hope you enjoy watching Lucien and Elise's romance unfold, seeing Lucien's immense control tried by the irrepressible Elise, while the self-indulgent Elise is challenged sexually and emotionally by Lucien into fulfilling her full potential as a giving, caring and vibrant woman.
Look for more of Ian's and Francesca's love story in Because We Belong, out in November of 2013.
Happy Reading!
~Beth

FULL SERIES REVIEW BELOW
When I'm with You: The Complete Novel by Beth Kery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 Sexy Stars
When I’m with You is a light BDSM read with a cooking theme.
Summary
Elise is a rich girl, but she can’t tap into her trust fund until she turns twenty-five. She finished cooking school and wants to mentor with a chef. Lucien is rich, owns an exclusive restaurant and has corrupted father. Lucien is a man who knows what he wants and what kind of women he wants in bed. Elise aligns herself with the head chef at Lucien’s restaurant. Elise and Lucien have a past since both grew up rich and in the same circle.
Overall
I like Beth Kery books. They are very light, steamy and have touch of BDSM. I liked how Elise and Lucien have a history and it gave the read an extra layer of chemistry. Elise is a very head strong girl. She’s grown up rich, is pretty and isn’t immune to men giving her attention, yet she never flaunts herself. I liked her story, poor rich girl trying to make it on her own.
Lucian is the typical rich Hero with a chip on his shoulder. Lucian has a past and he’s working on something. Elise is intrigued with Lucian’s past and has had a crush on Lucian since childhood. Lucian finds Elise very sexy and although he doesn’t want to forge a relationship with her, he’s more than willing to work out something that will benefit the both of them.
The story is light, in the sense it’s a steamy book, meaning the man focus is the steam. There is some light bondage and spanking, but nothing ever goes deeper or darker. Lucian is very closed off, so this adds some tension between the two. I did like getting some back story on Lucian and you slowly uncover his past.
When I’m with You is was an easy read and enjoyable.

Review origanally posted @ Shawna's Survey
I am so loving this series. Ms. Kery has really out done herself with this one. The chapters are getting better as the story progress.
I enjoy how Lucien is so in tune with Elsie. Not only can he keep her satisfied, but he can also tell when she's upset and he's half way across the globe. What I can't stand is how he still wants Elsie's submission but refuses to trust her with his secrets.
I love how he made things up to Elsie by coming home and surprising her with his romantic gesture. Lucien is full of surprises. I couldn't believe that for the past eight years he has been looking for his mother. Its both sad and sweet.
Now that Elise has made things clear to Lucien regarding what she wants, he is able to fully let go.

“Convenient to keep me quiet that way?” she asked when he faded off. It felt like there was a handful of marbles in her throat. “You knew how much I care about you. ... You used my feelings for you against me to gain my compliance.”
I love how he made things up to Elsie by coming home and surprising her with his romantic gesture. Lucien is full of surprises. I couldn't believe that for the past eight years he has been looking for his mother. Its both sad and sweet.
“It wasn't an easy topic for me to discuss. Then or now. Of course I wondered about the woman who bore me. What had made her give me up? What were the circumstances that she needed to? Did I have other family? Brothers? Sisters? Aunts? Uncles? Did I look like them? I wondered. Incessantly."
Now that Elise has made things clear to Lucien regarding what she wants, he is able to fully let go.
"I have been holding back, chaining myself. But tonight”—he glanced at her, his expression fierce—“I’ll feast on you and I won’t come away hungry, Elise. I will take you hard . . . maybe a little savagely.”

#4 was perfect ,but #5 & #6 sucks
“You’re a romantic, Lucien Sauvage.”
how?!
★set a bed in a terrace that looks at the stars
( With the silk drapes blocking the city, they were in their own private little cocoon, even with the bed being open to the sky and lake )
★ 2 bracelets
★ necklace with 2 uses
my fav quotes
▪ “When are you going to learn I read your lies like a neon sign, ma fifille?”
▪ overheard you doesn’t necessarily equate to eavesdropping.”
▪ Love. It’s love. She clenched her eyelids together tighter, as if she could vanquish that knowing voice. It frightened her, to think of it being true. She would be so weak, so helpless if she admitted to that need. But she couldn’t keep it locked inside her much longer. . . .
▪ think our parents influence us, but as human beings, we can choose what we want our life to mean.
▪ How will I ever cure you of this proclivity for eavesdropping,” he mumbled after a moment
▪ The next morning she arose before dawn and drove out to the stables for a ride on Kesara. Lucien had been kind enough to purchase her a membership at the club, but she wasn’t in the mood to think generous thoughts about him at the moment.
▪ She did care about Lucien. She knew that he cared about her.
He didn’t trust her, though. And that was what burned like acid.
▪ I realized that I wasn’t giving you enough guidance and information on that. That’s why I said I wanted to keep an eye on you. It wasn’t because I don’t trust you.”
▪ How irresistible. It’ll make me feel as if we’re together, knowing you’re hearing me in your mind, even if we are an ocean apart,” he said
▪ When she didn’t reply because she was too busy absorbing the fact that he’d been reading her on their other times together, gauging her,
▪ you’ll have little doubt about how much I think of you
▪ “Not beg, ma chère. Ask. There’s a difference between asking and begging. There is no desperation in asking—only courage.”
▪ You haunt me, night and day. Don’t ever worry that you can’t please me, Elise. If you are honest about your desires, you’ll please me every time.
▪ “You are well and truly trussed by jewels,”
▪ “All of this is because I missed you,” he said, his nostrils flaring slightly as his gaze ran over her face. “And because I’ve wanted you for a long, long time and circumstances have prevented it.”
“You’re a romantic, Lucien Sauvage.”

A really sexy, steamy, and erotic book. Again as with the first book with all the sex toys and the manner they are used to full fill a couples complete satisfaction. I mean this woman had at least 5 or more orgasms and she still is ready to please her man SOME MORE. I wish I was Elise but with all her stamina and strength plus more. The male character, Lucien is one really gorgeous man with a sexy french accent. He is also a bit of a Superman in bed. All I needed was for the Superman and Superwoman costumes to come off before preceding with all the love making.
Still a really good plot and worth the time. Do not wish to give it away it is a doozie.
I see that this book was at one time broken into novellas. I am glad I am reading this now and not then. I would have been suffering waiting for the next book to be released. I have all three books here with me now and ready to read and get to the end of the story.
Highly recommended.

Has gotten really good. I highly enjoyed their confrontation over the telephone only for Lucien to rush home to 'make it all better'...
It just keep getting better while I read. Really enjoying another novella by Ms. Kery!!! :)

We are finally learning a little about Lucien but it isn't making me like him any more. What's annoying about this "second" part of the series, is that is seems barely necessary. Maybe book 3 will enlighten me.

Buddy read with Aly

This series is great! I love it! The romantic evening on the rooftop was amazing!

Can I just say I love the way Beth writes. Everything I've read of hers I enjoy. This is no different. It's the waiting that makes me crazy!

Glad Lucien is starting to treat Elise better. The bed on a roof top was very romantic.

One secret revealed, another one presented. Elise realizes she's in love and more hot sex. Not much emotional engagement happening.

The secret is out or is it just part of it? Elise has put herself in the mist of it all again. Things has most certainly began to ride a high.
