Beware! Moan for Him is a taboo erotica bundle. In other words, Moan for Uncle 1-6, may make you run away offended. I admit, it took me a minute to get my bearings and not run for the hills...but as I received a copy from the publisher through Netgalley.com, I felt obligated to continue reading Moan for Him in order to post an honest review.
Nikki is in love with her hero and uncle. She worships the ground he walks on, fantasizes about him, and longs to be in his world as his lover. Awkward, yes.
But determined to read this one, you will soon realize while Grant may be her uncle, he is not blood related as he was adopted. OK, read on!
Grant is a dangerous and devoted CIA agent. He lives for his job, until he realizes Nikki is all grown up and the women he craves.
There adventurous and passionate love story is unfolded in novellas 1-6 of this book bundle. It was an interesting yet disturbing ride for me, as I tried to fathom how any family would be okay excepting this fate between an uncle and niece (whether by blood relation or not).
If you are into taboo erotica and not easily squeamish, this one is for you. Thank you to the publisher for this read.

Nikki has grown up and she wants Griant to want her like she wants him. After her birthday, they found themselves in an affair that most people wouldn't accept or understand considering their difference of age and their familial link (Griant is her uncle, not by blood, but uncle anyway). He's a sort-of spy and she's a little naive but they're falling for each other after first being in lust for each other.
'Moan for him' was the collection of the novellas. It was steamy and a little taboo but if you like that sort of erotica story, you'll enjoy it. The sex scenes were hot but the story in itself was a little too repetitive for me, though.

I received an e-copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
Moan For Him is a collection of novellas. It is something I see more and more.
It was my first time at reading a serial kind of story because I find it too expensive, and now, I think it’s not my thing.
While the author’s writing style is great for an erotica book, I couldn’t connect with the characters or even the story. I’m not fan of taboo stories, but when I read that Grant Rivers was not blood related to her because he had been adopted, I was more open to read this niece/uncle story, and I was expecting it to be more used for a better edge that would have been very interesting.
I’m quite disappointed that this story is only about sex and not about characterization too. I read erotica books from time to time and while in these books sex scenes are ever present, I also need some kind of characterization. And when this story is about a taboo relationship with an ‘uncle’ who works for the CIA, I was expecting way more.
Is it because it’s a serial and not just a novel? Maybe, I’m not sure, but I can say that I finished it because I received it from Netgalley and not because I purchase it myself. I can’t rate it badly because the writing style itself is great for an erotica book and because the steamy scenes are well done, but I don’t like the fact that it takes a toll on the overall story.
Nikki is a character that is too juvenil for me, even more so knowing that she’s dating a man over fifteen years older. I couldn’t relate to her and that bothered me.
Grant is quite a likeable character, but his status as Nikki’s ‘uncle’ is not used enough. It would have been really interesting to see him struggle a little with the fact that he’s always seen Nikki as his niece. It would have given him more depth.
Also, I really hate the fact that their family’s take on their relationship is not more present. That is quite a deal breaker for me because it kept me from being swept in the story.
Too many things are overpassed because it’s a serial and not a unique novel, and it frustrated me. I couldn’t feel Nikki and Grant’s seperations because of his work, I couldn’t fear for them when things got dangerous, couldn’t dread their family’s reaction because too many stuffs are not included or are not detailed enough for my taste.
In the end, it could have been an amazing and very thrilling story, but I think that the fact that this story is a serial is not working for me. Even if I read erotica books I expect very much from the plot and the characters. Do I expect too much? Maybe…
If you like serial stories, maybe you will enjoy this one. Let me know what you think about this one!

For taboo readers this is definitely goes on your must read list! It is a sweet story of a girlhood crush that comes to fruition.
Non-taboo readers may have issue getting past the fact Grant is Nikki’s Uncle. Even though he was adopted and not a blood relation, it may propose an issue for some readers. To each his or her own, if it is not your thing move on to the next book.
If you stick with the series, expect not just a hot love story but some intrigue. Grant is a government agent, so anticipate some of his professional life to bleed into his private life. Especially since, he finally has something worth loosing, Nikki.
As a couple these, two could not be hotter. Your kindle (or electronic reading device) will be melting from all the steamy scenes Nikki and Grant have together in and out of the bedroom. Nikki may be young and low on experience, put she makes up for it with her enthusiasm and love for Grant. In addition, Grant, he is just too yummy to be a fictional character.
As the story line develops, the writing continues to improve; it is quite good to begin with, but as the characters stretch and grow so does Author Terry Tower’s ability to tell their story. It is nice to see an author connect with their characters, Towers achieves this feat. With such a deep connection and affection for these characters, Towers will be able to continue to tap into their story line for years to come. Striking gold with such, a taboo topic is normally unheard of, Towers talent as a writer and storyteller guides her achievement.
All though, the series ended with Nikki and Grants wedding, readers have more to look forward from this truly gifted author.
The Ratings*:
Hero: 5
Heroine: 4.75
Story/Plot/HEA: 4.5
*The rating system is based on 1-5, 5 being the best and 1 the worst.
Hero - The main male character of the story. Heroine - The main female character of the story. Story/Plot/HEA (Happy Ever After) - The over all story line and culmination of the main plot or theme.

eXcessica Publishing through NetGalley provided me with a copy of this book for my honest review.
This is not one whole book, but the complete Moan for Uncle series in one. It's a taboo series about a girl and her "uncle" who fall in love, the "uncle" is an Agent and they have to deal with not only peoples prejudice with their relationship, but also people from his past coming back and wanting revenge. Now I put uncle in quotes for two reasons one he was adopted so he isn't related by blood and two from what I gathered he is gone a lot, so while the family does see him he is gone so much he isn't a huge part of their daily lives. It was a great read, they always used Grant instead of uncle so that really wasn't an issue. The story was interesting, everything was fast paced and some of the stuff was adorable. The sex scenes were plentiful, creative and hot. I did read all of the stories in one sitting so after the fifth one I was getting a little worn out on all the sex and wanted a bit more of a storyline. It was still a great read, I would just suggest taking a little breather every once in awhile to avoid being overwhelmed or desensitized.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in place of an honest review.
Nikkei is turning nineteen and all of her secret fantasies have been about her uncle. Special Agent Grant Rivers isn't her uncle by blood. She found out when she was sixteen that he was adopted.
Grant is on release from the CIA for a couple of days and has made special plans for his nieces birthday. Imagine his shock when she opens the door and he wants her on site. He can't believe how much she's grown.
In these six books we get to experience the hit passion these two have for each other. They just can't get enough. Grant knows,she's the woman that he wants to spend the rest of his life with. This book has a great spin of suspense in it. The author sure knows how to keep you interested and wanting more. I have never been so hot reading a set of novels. Even when I reached the last page I wanted more. This was one exciting experience and I can't wait to read more.
I will warn you that there's a lot of hot sex. The sex is in lots of places so get your imaginations going before you start reading.

This is a collection of novellas in a box set to tell the story.
Im not sure about this story i think im still on the fence about it.
I did like Grant hes a likable guy, sexy strong, but its the whole uncle thing that has me on the fence, even though hes not a blood relative he was adopted into the family it just seemed strange for me to get my head around.
Nikki is Grants niece (not by blood of course) she is strong and knows her mind, and has wanted Grant for a while.
The chemistry was sexy hot and the sex scenes very passionately detailed and descriptive and plentiful, you do become emotionally involved with the characters, it is a lot to take in all at once and you have to take a breather and step away from the story, even though each part is a novella.
The story was fast paced and interesting in parts with people coming back from Grant’s past and wanting revenge. The plot is good and the characters are well developed.
I did find it a little repetitive at times, its was a ok read but it didnt pull me in like some books do.

This is a complete series of the Moan for him books. It’s about Nikki who has a secret crush on her older “uncle” for a while and ends up falling in love with him. They are not related by blood, but grew up thinking of him as an uncle. Grant is older and is away lot with his job. When Grant returns home for Nikki’s 19th birthday things turn interesting. Grant is surprised to see how Nikki has changed into a sexy woman.
The storyline was interesting, even though a little strange with the “uncle” relationship but the way it was explained may the idea okay. The chemistry was sexy and hot, the sex scenes were detailed and HOT. By the end it felt like a lot, because it was a bunch of small stories. You don’t need to read them all in one sitting, I did but it stated to feel long at the end. I think it would be better if you break it up a bit when you read this series.

This is the complete series of novellas that make up the Moan For Me collection. I was a little put off at first by the premise; young girl and her uncle. I soon dropped my preconceived notions and sat back to enjoy this book about a young heroine who knows her mind, and the non-blood "uncle" she loves. Extreme love? Perhaps, but I found both the lead characters so compelling and impactful that I could not help but take their side against all comers. The story was well plotted, throughout all the novellas, and the dialogue and characterizations stayed consistent throughout. The sex? I would say also constant and consistent, however passionate. At times I had to take a breather, set the book down, and return to it later so that the intensity of their passion did not become overwhelming. I became extremely emotionally caught up in the couple's happily ever after, and Terry Towers didn't disappoint.

**My thanks to NetGalley and excuse Publishing for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This is box set only covers 1-6 of the series, however there is a book 7 that is NOT a part of the set which is just daft.
Grant is Nikki's uncle, but not by blood. He was adopted. Things change on Nikki's nineteenth birthday when the uncle/niece relationship takes a major detour.
This is not a series to read is you do not like taboo subjects or sex on almost every single page. Yes there is a plot line within the series, but they seriously have that much sex that eventually your like "what? again?"
Things are very fast paced and a lot happens testing the strength of our couple including the age gap of about 15 years.
It's a good series, but would have been better if the last book of the series had been added.

This book was ok to read. There was an unusual story line and if you can get past the whole she is sleeping with her uncle thing(Not related by blood) then you may enjoy this book. I just found it at times very repetitive, especially through the sex scenes throughout. I also found the story to perfect. They were going through this life altering thing and everything just felt...nice! Its maybe because I love angst in a story that this just didnt feel like their life was really hard at any point....especially considering their relationship.
I personally think the description should mention somewhere in it about the details of their relationship as I think a lot of people wouldnt be happy to read this story.

I really enjoyed it!!I wasn't sure what I expected of these stories,to be honest..But it was rather different from anything else I've read...
The stories were short and fast,but I didn't feel like something was missing..And I actually believe the length of the stories were perfect..
The couple was perfectly matched..Nikki is the alive joyful one,while Grant is the serious alpha male we all ladies love...
In fact,I don't have anything else to say about this series..
If you want a fresh hot short lovestory with an aura of mystery and espionage,then this is your ideal choice...

Ok this is the first books I have read by this author. I will say they were definitely not my cup of tea. First off I felt the story lacked which proved to be boring and made it hard for me to finish the story. Next the heroine was in love with her uncle not blood related mind you but it still creeped me out that she had sex with someone who was considered her family. This was probably the main reason why I didn't like or couldn't get into the story.

Oh. My. Word…I still remember this series; sizzling hot taboo older man/younger woman
I read these books when they first came out in 2011 and later but I still remember them today! As I receive Ms. Towers newsletter, I am reminded of some of her deliciously naughty books. This one is taboo in that an uncle is involved but don’t be put off by that. There are no blood relationships going on, but social, yes. When Nikki gets tired of being the sweet niece, Uncle Grant gets…well, if you like taboo, off-the-charts passion, read this series and see for yourself. Loved it!

Nikki and Grant, these two were a different kind of couple. I enjoyed their story. Although I understood the complications they first encountered about their relationship, Nikki and Grant were obviously meant for each other. I enjoyed the initial taboo of their relationship, their chemistry, and the drama that ensued. This is one of those stories that is hot despite any rules that readers may have felt were broken!!!
April 22, 2014
This story has a lot of sex in it! I enjoyed the characters albeit a bit far fetched CIA agent falling for his adoptive brothers daughter. The actual basis of the story was good but I just felt it missed something. They had great chemistry hence the 3 stars and I liked the CIA element but I did question her family and what happened to her college course and friends.

At first I was like say whaaaaaaaatttttttt? Then when I got into it once I got my explanation. The drama is good and the action even better. This is a crazy love story. Exciting and erotic. I really enjoyed reading this story.
