Jessica Roth thought she'd found the one man who could fulfill her in every way. He was gorgeous, controlling, amazing in bed and said everything that she desperately wanted to hear. That was, until she heard him say the one thing she never suspected was true.
Nathan Moore says he has his reasons for doing the things that break her heart. She knows that she can't continue to live in a world where nothing makes sense.
As Jessica weaves her way through a maze of lies, half-truths and coincidences, she begins to see everyone in her world for who they really are. Old friends become the enemy, new friends become allies and the one man she can't be close to, becomes the only person who can give her what she really needs.
They promised each other there would be no complications. It's a promise neither of them can keep.
Deborah Bladon has never read a romance hero she didn't like. Her love for romance novels began when she was old enough to board the bus, library card in hand to check out the newest Harlequin paperbacks. She's a Canadian by heart, and by passport, but you can often spot her in New York City sipping a latte and looking for inspiration for her next story. Manhattan is definitely her second home.
She cherishes her family and believes that each day is a gift for writing, for reading, and for loving.
In Pulse, part 1-3 small-town girl Jessica Roth, Jess had a one-night stand with enigmatic attorney, Nathan Moore, Nate only to become Ms. Wednesday night. But that was quickly complicated by conflicting emotions, lies, secret and deceit.
Pulse, part 4 picks up after part 3’s infuriating ending. Nate once again has a lot of explaining to do and their rocky, strictly-sex-relationship is put through the wringers. Trust Nathan to resort to mind-blowing sex to open up lines of communication…. JESSICA ROTH, Jess, Jessie: 23 years/Former paramedic/Aspiring chef/Blond hair/Blue eyes.
Five words to describe Jessica Roth, Jess: Indecisive, conflicted, weak, annoying and needy. NATHAN MOORE, Nate: 30 (31) years/Attorney/$$$$/Black hair/Light blue eyes.
Six words to describe Nathan Moore, Enigmatic, complex, secretive, distant, demanding and commanding.
Pulse, part 4 leaves Nate and Jess in a good place, but epilogue hints to a storm brewing. Looks like there might be one more book…
Roller-coaster fuck-fest!Addictive plot and cliffys! Love the book covers!

Would I re-read this series: Probably not. Would I read future books by this author: Yes.
I can't even write an adequate review for this one. This story was just.........wow. First of all the time jumps. As I've said with the other books, it's confusing as heck for a reader to be boomeranged through a story like that. But, I think it was far worse in this book. Jessica and Nathan were fighting one minute and she was moaning in ecstasy the next. *Rinse and repeat*...It was beyond frustrating. I'm glad their story is over. I don't care to know anything else about them. Ever. Impulse? No...Just no thank you! I shy away from using gifs in my reviews but this one is more than adequate.
Pulse part 4 can be 4 stars if not for back and forth that is coming from Jessica. I do understand Jessica position. Believe me, I will be the same, if I were in her shoes. Nathan is full of secret and he is a lawyer for crying out loud.
I like my heroine strong in romance. Miss Bladon made Jessica like a whinny, boneless heroine. I need Miss Bladon to inject some smart and strong character into Jessica.
Nathan on the other hand, is and always delicious. Yes he is a bit secretive. At the end I like him. Not that he is my next book boyfriend. But he is sweet.
If all of Miss Deborah Bladon's work is like this novella series, she is so going on my favorite list.
Except this last book, it was a little weird.. Book 1 2 and 3 were BRILLIANT. Their ending was superb, amazing cliffies and their pace and story was amazing too.. but something went really wrong in this last book. I mean, it wasn't bad.. but just really jumpy..
One second this was happening next second something else. One moment she was fighting with him and next she was having an orgasm. He ONLY wanted to fuck her, 24x7
I LOVED THIS NOVELLA SERIES NONE THE LESS. The story, the writing, the crazy peeps[characters] in it. The author surely knows how to end each and every novella with a bang.. like I was left mouth hanging open at the end of each of the novellas.
At times I wanted to SLAP the chick, she has no spine what so ever.. but then again.. Nathan was too hot to resist!
Can't wait to read Set 2 of this novella series. Its going to be a hoot!!
I liked this series but this final book was awful. Jessica was so annoying "I cant be with him and I hate him" then she shows up at his door step or in his office. I didnt even understand the conclusion is there another book?
WHAT HAPPENED!!!! This was such a great series, I am still so pissed that I spent my time reading the first three only to be given this piece of shit. I probably said "are you fucking kidding me" about fifty times during this book and wanted to throw my kindle against the wall by the end of it. Seemed like this author just wrote some shit down and said "im done".
Major disappointment. We all deserve a re-write from Ms. Blandon or at least our .99 cents back.
You pay 99 cents for a book with 84 pages... Books 1-3 are good, but 4 should of been free. I've now lost total interest and I really don't care for a "his" point of view that will be broke down and fished to us piece by piece!
So happy that Jessica and Nathan finally solved some of their issues and are having some peace finally !!
But can I say I didn't like it how Jessica was constantly coming to his house and office asking for him to leave her in peace when he wasn't chasing after her at all??? I mean I expected Nathan to do a lot of convincing and prove himself to her, so I didn't like it that after what happened at the bar, she was the one constantly going after him and he didn't even once went to her apartment to do some mea culpa.
I liked him in the last part of the book...and can't wait for the sequel! So I guess we are having a book 5?
This book made me angry. The first three installments of the story were fantastic. This fourth one was the equivalent of wtf. The h was a whiny ass baby. Her maturity was on the negative scale. The H went from a strong alpha presence to a groveling/whimpering weakling. Ugh if I could throw my kindle across the room and not cause damage, I would.
Loved the whole series! 5 f#%k-me-hard-stars!***** the drama and twists and turns of the story had me hooked from book one and just kept getting better for me. Who doesn't love a hot, dominating, cocky, alpha male with a big, hard c#ck that f#%ks like an animal non-stop!?!? PS: i loved hearing Nathan moan my name when he was f#%king! Lol ...reading Nathan's story next in Impulse. Cant wait! :)
I never give less then three stars and I hate to do this but i loved the pulse series but this book really. it was all over the place and bam the end. huhhhhh
OMG it had so much potential well actually the first book did and it was all downhill from there. since I've never been unable to finish a series, ever, I keep going with this one and I'm pissed. Other than the constant f@$#ing the characters had nothing in common, the female was a whining whore, I mean a whining aspiring chef who spent most of the series complaining and on her back, her knees or with a tool shoved down her throat. The male lead was an ass who constantly got away with lying by omission. He would then "lawyer" his way out of it and have our girl on her back, knees or with his tool down her throat. I am all for smut but at least have some better filler material..This series blows...kinda like the main character
Wow, just when u think an autho can't get any worse (Pulse 3 was very dum and lame), she does. I'm pretty much done w/ this auth. She's not a great writer BUT her plot twists r what kept me coming back. I don't know what happened. I felt like i was reading a half a book. Each chapter jumped w/o any intro or anything. I was completely lost as to what exactly happened in this book.
I feel really hoodwinked by this auth w/ this series. Pulse 1 & 2 were fairly well written, atleast the basics were there. After that it just got worse making me feel like the auth, now that she had me hooked, reeled me in w/ crap bait.
As always, have no idea what the pos reviews r about (Fiverr report?) but this book was like a wattpad, disconnected and effortless.
I ve really enjoyed this series it was great the story was good luvd the character was dyin 2 read the next book everytime I finished 1 I just found that it sometime went around in circles but I luvd this book we finally found out what I wanted 2 know an I still want 2 slap Nathan but in a really hot way haha an I liked the lil bit at the end so dyin 2 c where that goes xxx
Um, have to have this now... I love Deborah Bladon's style of writing. And I can't believe I'm going to say this.... I love the cliffhanger. I just don't love the wait!
I’m going to be completely honest about this final book; DEFINITELY not my favorite of the series. I was so captivated about the cliffhangers in the previous books, I was totally expecting an awesome ending and it was simple, very simple. There was an epilogue, but I still it wasn’t what I was expecting.
Definitely, my favorite character in the series was Nathan Moore, in the beginning he was not completely honest to Jessica, and at the end of book 3 I was totally up with Jessica kicking his sorry ass to the curb, but at the end he recognized his faults, confessed his sins, and still Jessica was annoyingly stubborn about his intentions with her.

The sex scenes are super-hot; you know Nathan has a very dirty mouth, TOTALLY.WORTH.READING.
"You're so fucking tight I can't stand it." "You say things…" I can't talk. I'm close to coming again already. "You say things…" "You're so smooth and slick." His eyes are blazing with desire as he kneads his fingers within me. "I want so much to shoot my load in this beautiful body so you can feel my cum inside of you." "Nathan." The shamelessness of his words spurs me closer. "Don’t say that." "I've never filled any woman with my cum before." His breath is on my lips now. "I want to with you. Let me, Jessica." I push my hips from the bed to grab more of him. I want him to take me to the edge again. I need to come. "Christ, Nathan." "This is all mine." He clenches his hand around and in my sex. "Mine." The animalistic growl that flows through the word sends me into the center of an intense orgasm. I cling to his body as I scream out his name.
Another side of Nathan that did it for me was his romantic side, even if he denies it, he says the most amazing things to Jessica and shows her how he feels about her.
"I wanted to take you into that room and never let you go." He runs his hand along my thigh. "I wanted to hide you away from the rest of the world so no one would see what I see." "What do you see?" My breath hitches as the question leaves my lips. "My everything. My life."
I do recommend the series, it was an entertaining reading, I definitely recommend Deborah Blandon writing style, it was easy and not boring at all, so Jessica wasn’t my favorite character after all, but still, very good series.
The Pulse Series has honestly been one of my favorites. I looked forward to getting my hands on one of these babies every couple of weeks. While the cliff hangers at the end of the books made me want to claw my eyes out knowing that I would have to wait weeks to find out what happened I still loved it! Jessica and Nathan had an interesting relationship that kept me on my toes. They managed to get through ex drama and many secrets that come to light with every installment. HOWEVER this last book just did not do it for me. After all the drama and lies in the first three this book felt like it wasn't enough. The chapters were choppy and confusing, Jessica went from one of my favorite heroines to having the mood swings of a pregnant woman, and the answers to the problems were lacking. I'm disappointed that such a great series ended on a bad note! I'm not even interested in reading his point of view after this.. Ugh
Um not sure i like it as much as the others. Everything seemed rushed. I also didn't like it how Jessica was constantly going to Nathan's house and office asking for him to leave her in peace when he wasn't chasing after her at all. I thinkn the explaination of the "bet" needed to be better explained again seemed rushed and the explaination abotu Rebecca's part in it all. Not as hot as the other books either and as all parts have been it was way to short. I would ahve rather the author hold all parts and put them together in one book. I also think the end where it says Nathan's version of events is coming is not needed. What is with authors these days have to do both a male and female perspective of a book. Is it just for sales?
Overall the complete series was good. Happy they did (sort of) get their shit togethter.
You had me. The first 3 books I couldn't stop. The cliffhangers were just perfect. The way Jessica and Nathan's relationship kicked off had me hooked. The way it kept rolling had me intrigued. The way it ended had me annoyed. I really liked this series. It was smoking. It was a solid 4/4.5 for me until the sweet little tied bow at the end. I love a HEA as much as the next girl, but these two and their relationship deserved more in my eyes. I know you don't want to drag out novellas too long because they get worn out (unless you are C.D. Reiss who does it perfectly) but I would have taken one more book with this. One more adventure that seals these two together for me. I can handle insta-love, but I can't handle insta-ending. I just felt like I needed more.
i'm thoroughly disappointed... i think it was such an anti-climatic ending to all the previously annoying cliff-hangers... in my mind, if i'm going to be left at the cliff from book to book, i expect the end to just "wow" me...
even the bet was unrealistic, a $5,000.00 bet instigated by a dead beat dad who works as a chef?
& then the likely-hood that Jessica (new to Manhattan) gets entangled with dead beat dad Drew who happens to be her new employer Cassie's ex-husband, who happens to be in a relationship with Nathan yet Jessica is clueless to the whole string of cluster f@ck...
I hate it when a book has a good cliffhanger especially when you hate them and look forward to the next book especially when it comes and it's a big letdown. I waited for the big shockers. I got a wishy washy heroine. A plot that still kind of does't make sense. A "cough,cough" hero that really needs his halo shined and questionable friends and another cliffhanger that came out of no where.
I will give this author credit. Even though these books are small and the stories are iffy they are priced right for their size. Give they a try. Every ones opinion is different. You be the judge.
I'm not really sure how I feel about this last book. The first 3 books were okay. I like the cliffhangers and the story. But Jessica is really annoying. She keeps saying that she can't have sex with Nathan again but she keeps showing up in his room or office and have sex. Again and Again. It is really annoying.
I started this series with book 2 by accident and didn't miss anything apparently. scenes were choppy throughout the series so if blended right in. There was almost no plot or point aside from the sex scenes that seemed hurriedly written. I would not recommend this series.
This books are of the charts hot .... I mean I did know that D Blandón has a fértiles imagination for sex scenes but Nathan is by far the most raw , hot and charismatic character of her's that I've read from her ... Who knew right? He semed kind of Boring in Obsessed...
