Fierce Possession
Tanner is more possessive and demanding. Crossing the line, he marries Natalie, but his inner demons resurface. Can he deal with it? Can Natalie?
Excerpt:
The Ritz-Carlton in Manhattan overlooked Central Park. The lobby, richly decorated in deep browns and orange, with mustard-colored walls, faded to the background. Natalie only had eyes for Tanner. He placed his hand at her waist and guided her up to their suite, hardly noticing the bell cap bringing their overnight bags, or even Andre, their friend and bodyguard, following discreetly.
The warmth of Tanner’s body pressed against her; the pressure of his hand at the top of her hip felt so right. Natalie was where she wanted to be. Anticipation unsettled her as the elevator slipped upward, her heart beating just a little faster at what was to come.
Entering, Natalie saw huge bouquets of red and white roses. “Tanner, they are so lovely.”
“I know how you like flowers, baby. And this is your wedding night.”
There was that look on his face again, just for an instant, then gone. Natalie thought she knew him so well, but in many ways he was still a mystery. She watched him walk over to a bucket of ice and lift out a bottle of champagne. It was just like Tanner to think of everything. He could be so romantic.
Deftly, he popped the cork, and poured some of the special champagne into their glasses. It was the same delicious brand they’d shared at the wedding. Tanner held a glass out to her, and she took it, touching his hand in the process. He didn’t release the glass right away, allowing her hand to stay where it was, over his.
Looking into his beautiful blue eyes, Natalie saw the potent lust he so carefully held back. The rigidness of his jaw, the tautness of his body, told her that Tanner was ready to explode. Standing there, looking into his piercing gaze, her cheeks warmed.
“To my ravishing wife, the loveliest bride I’ve ever seen.” Tanner clinked his glass against hers, making a single high-pitched note.
Natalie was sure she blushed—not from his compliment, but from his piercing look. His eyes, so blue, were filled with lust. The intensity made her weak, and she wouldn’t have been surprised if Tanner had ripped her clothes off right then.

This review is meant for installments #4 through #12.
Our dominant billionaire Tanner continues to amaze and enrapture Natalie. Being so innocent, Tanner is taking charge of her sex education into the dark corners of passion.
These installments give us very hot sexy scenes plus plot and character development showing the changes this passionate romance has on both our main characters. Owning her own sexuality is difficult for Natalie. She has grown from an innocent virgin, into Tanner's goddess of kink. In order for her to accept her desires, she has had to come to believe that what she is feeling is not a deviant desire where she can loose her sense of self. Tanner's patience and understanding is the catalyst to enabling Natalie to come to terms with reality. Our author has done a great job of developing these characters to the point you as the reader will feel deeply empathetic to their feelings and handling of the obstacles that arise.
Tanner's jealousy is forever an issue. Whether because he is so controlling or because he feels insecure, his reactions are meteoric if any man looks at Natalie or he perceives any interest on her part toward a male person.
It impressed me how Natalie's character reacts to Tanner's emotions. Although she might be upset with him, she never really looses control of her temper and always reacts with deep love and understanding. Somehow the love she feels for him helps her deal with his temper and remain loving and forgiving. I think this is why once he has calmed down, Tanner always promises to do better and his love grows for her. Now if she would only concede to not dressing so alluring when they go out, he might be able to deal with his jealousy better.
This was a great series to read. It is erotica at its best! Full of love, passion and sexual encounters that are each uniquely orchestrated and described. Top that with a plot line that draws you in and you have a winner!

Could Tanner get over his deeper, darker thoughts about Natalie's love and commitment to him ? Would marriage change the way they felt about each other, would there possessiveness get stronger or would it destroy them ?
Tanner and Natalie go on a lovely long, long honeymoon to a Sardinia which is so beautiful described, from the beaches to the sand to the green rolling hills. But when they return home and get into a routine of normal married and work life, will jealously rear it's ugly head ? Maybe ? But something else, something bigger will finally show thought to Tanner that Natalie is really truly finally his and his only !
Life goes on and so does work even if family problems surface but are taken care of in the true Tanner fashion, he makes sure Natalie and her family will ALWAYS be taken care of.
Speaking of work guess who needs special software for there company and only one man can help them develop and coordinate all of the facilities around the globe with the same software.....you got it ADAM !
Can't wait for the next installment to see where it all leads and pulls together between the two book's series !!
Emily you did it again ! Couldn't put it down ! Go get your copy now !!
I received this book as an ARC copy for my true opinion.

I've missed Tanner and Natalie they seemed to be more in love than ever which posed bit of a problem once they returned from their honeymoon. Tanner's domineering tendencies kicked into overdrive. I decided to give Tanner some slack realizing that Natalie is essentially his first love and his view of love different than most. What would you do if you ever lost that person that finally made you feel whole, wouldn't you do everything in your power to keep them safe? As always Tanner goes a little overboard. I hope as their story continues his possessiveness becomes of an issue, though a little possessiveness in the bedroom is never a bad thing. I love the Adam and Ella crossover (a couple I've come to fall in love with) I've wonder what they've been up to since we left them last. It seems Tanner and Natalie may be doing a little business with the newly engaged pair. A little bit of drama with Natalie and Jazzy's absentee father who showed for a handout which they declined. I'm really concerned for Emma and what this news will do to her and the impact it will have on her health. Tanner and Natalie have a powerful love that some will never find. I just hope that their love continues to be their strength and not a weakness.

I received this novella in exchange for an honest review.
Wow! Emily has done it again!
I have been following Tanner and Natalie from the beginning, and it just keeps getting better. Fierce Possession picks up after the wedding, with Natalie and Tanner headed on their honeymoon to Sardinia. Every detail is so beautifully described. That dark side of Tanner is still very much alive, even though he has everything he could possibly want or desire. Once that speed bump has been dealt with, again, Natalie finally gets some closure to a sensitive piece of her past.
I was surprised at the reference to characters from Emily's other series, Adam and Ella. Tanner’s company needs a software expert, and interesting enough has already been approached by Adam. Ella, who is impressed with Natalie’s designs, was the one to suggest that Adam approach Tanner’s company with a business arrangement. Natalie is flattered and Tanner seems intrigued by this scenario. (By the way, if you haven’t read the Adam and Ella series – Captivated, Charmed and Cherished – you should. They are amazing!
Can’t wait to see how this plays out, and what may be in store for these characters, even if they are from separate series.

After a beautiful wedding, Fierce Possession picks up with Natalie and Tanner in the helicopter headed towards their honeymoon. Right from the start we see Tanner still questioning himself. What is he hiding that he has to control with Natalie? Natalie picks up on this since she is very in tune with Tanner but doesn't inquire what is wrong. They enjoy a wonderful honeymoon in Sardinia. We still have Tanner trying to maintain control over himself so Natalie finally asks but he doesn't really explain anything to her. When they return to New York some new challenges arise as they figure out how to navigate life as a married couple. They are really coming together as a couple and it's good to see Natalie standing up to Tanner and pushing him to find the balance he needs. Was surprised by a cameo for Adam and Ella from the Captivated series when Tanner's company needs new software and Adam's company is the best one to do the work. Wondering what other ways we may "bump" into these characters in future installments. Continuing to love and devour Natalie and Tanner's story.

This book continues on from Tanner and Natalie's wedding with them on route to there honeymoon! u would think that Tanner would now be able to let his dark thought disappear now that Natalie is his by law, but unfortunately not, he is still plagued by feeling of inadequacy, what will it take for him to fully admit his feelings to himself and what will that mean for their relationship!!
Natalie is as happy as she has ever been, but following unwrapping the wedding present she comes across a photo of her family including her father which she had never seen before meaning that only one person could have sent it.... What does he want after all this time, is he the one that can burst their newlywed bubble of love?
I do put wanna say too much, but loved this book from start to finish as always, what better praise can I give an author, other than the fact that I've loved everything she has written!!
Can't rate this book highly enough, all I will say is enjoy!!

I enjoyed reading more about Tanner and Natalie, it was great reading bits from their wedding and about their honeymoon. I will say there is alot of sex in this book, it seems there is more sex then storyline. The sex scenes are hot and I love how much chemistry they have but I also think sometimes it can be too much. I enjoyed reading about them returning home and getting back to work. I hated how angry Tanner got about a simple work thing Natalie had to do, I wanted her to stand strong and let him feel how much his behavior upset her but instead she buckled under and had sex with him, that isn't really realistic. I was surprised about the new person that showed up in their lives and was proud of how Natalie handled this news. I don't understand why Tanner feels the way he does, where did these obsessive tendencies come from? I am afraid this means trouble for them down the road. Excited to see what happens next.

I've missed Tanner and Natalie's story for a while, so was excited when I received a copy for a review. Tanner and Natalie have got married and I didn't think they could get any hotter, but they both have so much passion for each other after marriage that they could combust. Natalie loves Tanner with all her heart but senses that Tanner is hiding something from her. Tanner has feelings so deep for Natalie that he has now become petrified that he could lose her, therefore he becomes fiercely possessive of her, will it work out for them. I was delighted that two characters get introduced into Tanner and Natalie's story aswell, but I'm not saying you'll have to read it to find out. Another great read by Emily can't wait for the next instalment. A must read.

Can't wait to see how this plays out....looking forward to the next one!! As always Emily delivers!!!!!

I like the idea of continuing but it needed more drama! I am all for happy endings, but she folds so quickly to him. Still a great series, and a good read!
