The third in Beth Kery's sensational eight-part serial novel for fans of FIFTY SHADES OF GREY, BARED TO YOU and BECAUSE YOU ARE MINE of a man and woman inextricably bound by the scandalous secrets of the past and by the sexual transgressions that still fuel their uncontrollable desire...
Out-of-control party girl Elise Martin's playground was all of Europe - until she came to Chicago to channel her innate creativity and sensual nature into something totally different, yet just as delicious. But she never dreamed that becoming chef at the sleek restaurant Fusion would lead to her back into the territory of her girlhood crush - the irresistible enigma called Lucien, He says he's going to take her under his hand and he's even moved her into his luxurious penthouse, where she's agreed to submit to his rules. It's a prospect that both intimidates and excites Elise. One thing is for certain: while she may have had the power to put every other man in her life in her hip pocket, she can't control Lucien. Gorgeous businessman Lucien Savauge, adopted son of an infamous French billionaire, knows how to treat bad girls, but Elise is a temptation that would try even the most disciplined of men. He can't walk away from her - he won't - but kindling their potentially explosive relationship is risky. She knows too much about his intentions with Ian Noble, even if she's unaware of just how explosive her knowledge is. And as Elise is quickly learning, if she's going to play with fire, she's going to have to play by Lucien's rules.

So I have to admit I'm a few weeks behind on this series, I think its just my ADD that's starting to kick in.
When You Tease Me left me questioning so many things.
1. Why would Elise get into a cab without money, than attempt to give a watch as form of payment? 2. How did Lucien get to her place so fast? 3. How did he find out where she lives? 4. Is it me or does Elise seem a tad children about their arrangement/ relationship? 5. Was Lucien as surprised as I was that Elise was flat broke? 6. Why has Lucien not popped Elise cherry yet?
I could honestly go on with the questions, but I won't. Currently my attention is still slightly had. I'm enjoying the angst, the jealousy........ the climate.
I still find it somewhat hard to believe that with as much sexual tension that these two have, that Lucien has not buried himself in Elise. I can almost bet that when the time comes it will be something to read about.
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.
In this installment things start heating up between Lucien and Elise. No, no sex yet….BUT HOLY HELL HAWT! There is a lot more to know about each one of these characters and in this installment Lucien realizes that Elise may not be what he originally thought. Not the slut socialite, not the spoiled rich princess who has daddy to take care of her and wouldn’t break a nail.
The big tough persona is starting to crumble and I can’t wait to see him fall at Elise’s feet and beg for forgiveness on all the ways he’s misjudged her.
On the other hand, Elise is not one without hang ups herself and she needs Lucien’s “heavy hand” and “discipline” to let go of some of that.
I do have to mention that it’s nice to see glimpses of Ian and Francesca from Because You Are Mine.
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.
Elise and Lucien are on two different sexual levels, she's inexperienced while he is experienced and thinks she is too. Actually he thinks she's a slut who sleeps around, Lucien has a low opinion about Elise. This misunderstanding is annoying me. Lucien finds out where Elise lives and is very snobbish when he sees it, he doesn't ask why a heiress is living in a run down building, he is thinking with his dick and decides she needs a spanking. The sex is undeniably hot, but there is no emotional connection or growth in the relationship. They are physically attracted to each other and that's their relationship.
■ her mouth was a sinful heaven a man could survive in only for so long.
■ you have one of the largest trust funds in Europe, perhaps?” “They say yours is larger.”
■ Lucien nodded, relieved. Elise would be more likely to allow another woman into that locked bathroom if she was upset than she would him. He knew that much about women.
■Didn’t he know now that Elise Martin had finally found the man to whom she was willing to risk it all sexually, he was supposed to fall in line and behave precisely as she imagined he should? Yes, that sounded selfish, but damn it. Was it really that much of a stretch to
I think Elise is a bit to sensitive and runs off. However this forces Lucien to run after her and he finally finds out that she is broke. Hot Juicy Sex- but she still has yet to find out her other secert!. You already know the ending leaves you craving more! These are short stories so I don't want to give away to much so that is why I am giving you such a short review. Follow My Blog
That was hot hot hot! And intriguing too. What's the deal with Lucien's interest in Ian? And what's Ian up to? Not sure if I really like any of them yet though. Onto the next installment to find out what happens next.
These chapters just keep getting hotter and hotter. It is nice to read a story for once about a man introducing a woman into submission and not starting the story off with both of them already so immersed in the life.
I don't even know why I'm continuing this series. I think it is just curiosity of what Lucien is planning to do to Ian. I dont particularly like Lucien or Elise, the story so far is unoriginal but the writing is decent. Hopefully I'll manage to keep going with it.
