Zara Cox………you write like a champ!!
Straight up, I want Noah King to do dirty, dirty things to me. That mouth of his…..GAAAHHHH!!!
From the first chapter I fell in love with him. When he is confronted by his best mates about getting out of his rut he is straight on the defensive but his quick witted responses made me laugh. You obviously find out then that he is battling demons that have been weighing him down for some time and to get him out of his funk the guys have forked out $750K for his ticket on The Indigo Lounge, the A-class adults-only club operating from a luxury super jumbo jet. Seven Night. Seven Highs. An experience not for the faint hearted. After he reads the brief describing a heady combination of extreme sports, unique cultural experiences and uninhibited sex he decided to break free from his mundane routine of making his billions through his company King’s Ransom and indulge in his deep clawing sexual hunger that he normal keeps locked down.
Next we meet Leia Michaels, an anxiety riddled 23 year old with a shaved patch on her head and a pink diamond tongue stud, who is trying to break free of her demons by embracing independence and stepping away from her guardian, Warren. You get the sense something bad has happened to her in her past by the way her instincts are always on high alert and she is always looking for her safest options. When she ventures out of her room to locate a bar for a drink she encounter Noah for the first time and the chemistry between them is INCREDIBLE. There bodies react to each other before their eyes have even locked on and when they finally do lock there is no mistaking what will eventuate between them. The flirty banter starts and before you know it things are heating up.
“Dance with me. he said, abruptly. I don’t dance. Sorry. Neither do I. But if we stand here any longer eyeballing one another, something will catch fire and at thirty thousand feet, I don’t think that’s a very good idea.”
Within hours of meeting they have agreed to spend the next seven days together exclusively. Noah can read Leia like a book and quickly realises her ghosts are always present and haunting her. He knows someone broke her and he is shocked at his overpowering need to protect her after just meeting her. She has walls around her and he recognises immediately that he wants to break them down and if he can’t break them down then he wants to drown her in pleasure so she can momentarily forget about them and know nothing but him. What he discovers while trying to drown her in pleasure is that she likes the same thing he does……..pain while chasing pleasure and rough, dirty, filthy f@#$%^g.
“I don’t want to wonder about this when I fuck you. I want to see your eyes fill with pleasure and not the shadows I can see in them now. That may be asking too much too soon, but I warned you I was a greedy bastard. I want to make you scream in pleasure that’ll make you forget why you’re broken. If only for a while. Because for the next seven days, you’re mine. And I absolutely refuse to share you with ghosts.”
Through the jet setting and extreme experiences the two of them grow closer and the sex just gets hotter and hotter. Leia starts to learn of Noahs’onsters, mainly his mind fuck of an ex Ashley, and in return she starts divulging more information about her horrendous past. At this point I started guessing what happened to Leia and who exactly was involved. When she finally unveils her past to Noah, I was shocked. I had a suspicion but it was worst than what I originally guessed. Soon after her reveal their time on the Indigo Lounge comes to an end and their little love bubble is not just popped but completely blown up and guess what………that’s right MASSIVE F@#$%^G CLIFFHANGER. Damn you Zara Cox!!! (Not really….I secretly love a good cliffy, but I think I’m in the minority on that one ;) )
All in all, I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I loved Noah’s sweet side and how sensitive he was towards Leia throughout the book when she needed it but at the same time I loved his pure Alphaness. He has a deliciously dirty mouth and a body made for sin and he knows exactly how to use it. I loved Leia and how she is trying to overcome her demons and embrace her sexuality and independence. I am so excited for Soar, which I think is due sometime around Sept 2014, to see what the hell is going to happen because the cliffy is a doozy.
“When we fuck, I will pull your hair and grab your throat. I’ll dig my fingers into you and use my teeth. And that will be for starters. What comes after that will depend on how close you are to screaming. Because I won’t stop until I make you scream. And even then, Leia, I may not stop. I may be so fucking lost in your hypnotic beauty that I may go too far. If you think you can’t handle that, or your not ready for that tell me now. Don’t give me hope. Don’t take me to the edge and leave me there. I’ve had that happen before. It fucking tore me apart. So think very, very carefully before any more clothes come off.”
