Can you believe I started out reading Bring on the Heat...read part 1 & 2 of Indecent Proposition and had to keep going lol. Read all 5 in a day couldn't put it down :)
2.5 stars...free Kindle book (I don't understand the 5 star reviews) Only reviewing part 5, as all parts make 1 complete book.
I don't know, maybe this should only be 2 stars, but I went with 2.5 because the storyline was surprisingly pretty decent. Girl gets paid a half million dollars to sleep with 2 hot millionaires, whose kinks involve some light bondage, spanking, and sharing a woman though they don't touch one another. Of course, all of them fall in love and the book follows their struggles to make a relationship work. In the background is the mystery of a Corporate sabotage case, but it's barely touched on (This would have made story a much more interesting read, instead of inner feelings, then sex...repeated over and over without a break).
The low rating is due to the poor editing and proofreading. This read like a first draft. There were so many wrong words or just words missing from sentences that I lost track. That I could have glossed over, but there were other glaring issues a second set of eyes would have caught. I just want to scream HAVE SOMEONE ELSE PROOFREAD YOUR WORK!
Issues I noted while reading:
1) She has sex with Keegan at a party, where he keeps her panties. Then she drives straight to Erik's house and 30 minutes later he's taking off her panties. Does she keep an extra pair in her junky car just in case some man keeps the one she's wearing?
2) she gets dressed up for a date, a black dress and bright red pumps. At the end of her date she toes off black shoes...hmm, coloring changing heels.
3) Keegan says that he and Keegan would like to be considered family. (Note that there are a couple other times when the wrong man's name is used in the sentence.)
4) AND the one that made me go insane...Erik is driving on their date. The guys take her back to Keegan's house. When they open the garage door Erik's sister's car is parked there. It's a big deal, because they see the car and don't want to go inside to see her. Anyway, the next scene the sister is demanding that Erik borrow Keegan's car to drive her to her hotel. Issue is, Erik AND his sister both have their own cars at Keegan's house...but now they've just disappeared. In fact, the sister never has her car again. She takes taxi's.
There are more, like background characters' professions changing from one chapter to the other and such.
If there had been more care taken with editing the rating would certainly be higher.
I really enjoyed this story. All the installments were super hot...how can they not be when there is a threesome involved?! However, there was more to this story than the three-way relationship. I am glad that they found a solution for Erik's dilemma (don't want to give anything away) and I am glad that they all found a way to make their relationship work and found their HEA.
I read part 1 of the story in the Christmas anthology and really liked it so I was glad to see that Ms. Julian wrote additional installments to give them a more complete story. Great storyline along with the heat.
These books were great .she is a new writer for me so finding these were great I'd love to read more of her story's .they have a great story line and the have sex but more of the story. I loved the characters because they had challenges just like we all do. And I loved the fact they communicated there feeling to each other.
I have been reading the series since midnight. Could not put it down without knowing and wanting a happy ever after. Would love to see where they go from here
