Fraternizing with the competition? Check.

Risking everything I’d worked so hard for? Check.

Mind-shattering orgasms? Double check.

Max Richfield made me forget myself. Forget all the reasons why I'd chosen to be alone for so long. I had goals. I needed stability. He brought chaos. I’d taken years erecting my walls. And with good reason, I would soon discover.

Now my inability to see beyond Max’s charm could cost me everything.

They were so meant for each other. There were so many moments of sexual tension and love and just straight out hot sex.
Christ, give the girl a few hours to recover before you try and jump her again, or she’ll think you’re either part rabbit or a regular at Sex Addicts Anonymous meetings.



Simply a one-night stand that eventually turns into more.
I hurried down the hall like I was being chased by Cupid’s arrow. Which was stupid. The thing had already hit its damn target.

I liked seeing them fall in love despite having certain challenges in their way.

Woah, woah, woah! This installment is great! The writing is fantastic, the build-up is perfect, and the way the story is unfolding is killer! Whew! This book is hot too!

Chloe & Max’s connection continues to sizzle and heat up the pages. While each are determined not to fall for the other, the more time they spend together and get to know each other the further the lines blur. We also get a feel for a little more of Max’s past and I am so anxious to get his full story. And just when it may be possible each is about to cave on their feelings…oh man, do you need to read this book to find out just what happens.

I need the next installment now!

I loved this book. It was jaw dropping, action packed, sexy, sweet, and has one alpha male that will make you swoon! :) I am literally on pins and needles waiting for the next installment in this new serial series.

In this installment, we got to see more in depth relationship of Max and Chloe. As Chloe starts to open up to Max and spend more time with him, she knows she is in trouble. She is starting to have feelings so we see her begin to pull away. But Max is determined and persistent enough that he keeps trying to break down her walls. Max is starting to realize this means more to him that just a fling and he seems to accept it. But when Chloe is force to make a decision between her job and her relationship with Max. Who will she choose? And what was on that paper about Max?

I need this next installment asap! Holy crap, that book ended on one hell of a cliffhanger. Ok so back to the story. I love Max. Yes I figured out early on he probably has some dark secrets but seriously the man is sweet, loving, funny, sexy, and a beat between the sheets. I like Chloe except for her back and forth. She needs to figure out what she wants and we did at the end of this book but whatever she was reading at the end may change everything....!

I highly recommend this book!

I was given this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Elisabeth Grace continues to impress you and take's her storytelling to a next level.Volume two was even better than volume one. "God, I was swooning. Seriously, who actually swooned?" Elisabeth portrayed the battle between Max and Chloe’s heads and hearts.After their close call with the bear, Max had "...felt like I had one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel, as my grandfather used to say." His decision to live in the moment just caused him to fall even harder for this girl. A friendly favor leaves her so grateful that "She pulled away and looked up at me, and there is was - that look in her eyes that just fucking undid me." Their frustration is palpable and Elisabeth makes sure the air is thick with emotion. She manages to capture all of the uncertainty and blend it perfectly with the moments of hotnesst that happened between them two. This book does end with a cliffhanger that had me looking for the next page. Elisabeth Grace sure knows how to leave a person hanging. I need volume THREE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOT! Volume Two of Indiscretion was smoking hot! I love Max! The chemistry between Chloe and Max is amazing and the connection between these two characters is some of the best I've ever read. The story development is also fantastic and I am completely hooked on this series. I can't wait to see where this story goes. I want to know more about Max's past. He is so mysterious. I love how sweet and thoughtful he is but how he's also sexy, strong, demanding and powerful. I think Max is my new book boyfriend. Of course, being part of a serial, Volume Two ends in a cliffhanger. A massive, mess with your head, what the hell is going to happen next- cliffhanger that is going to drive me crazy until I get volume 3. I highly recommend this series! Fantastic!!!!

I just love this series! It's well written and, for my at least, didn't have any low parts. The first volume grabbed my attention from beginning to end and this one isn't any different. It starts off where the last end with the bear! So it got my heart pumping from the start. The sexy encounters are just hot! Max has become my latest book boyfriend and I can't wait to get more Max!! I love how Grace tells her story from both point of views. I got a great insight in Max's motivations and how he's totally infatuated. I got to climb into Chloe's head and get a better understanding about her fears and expectations. I was so disappointed when this volume ended. I need the next installment!!! I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Elisabeth Grace has captured the story line by a Hook Line and Sinker. Her writing grabs you holding on to word for word as to whats next to unfold from their story next! The fight to avoid their attraction however the world around them is rocked by scandal, can Chloe be with someone like Max who wont share his life with her? A brilliant addition to the Indiscretion Series in which cannot wait to get my hands on Volume 3.

Indiscretion: Volume Two by Elisabeth Grace is the second volume in her serial Indiscretion.

**The rest of this review is crammed full of spoilers for book one in this series - read further at your own extreme caution**

So we made it. We survived the . Close call right?

Well, they've agreed to something for the season - short term fling. They're getting close and Chloe doesn't want the complications or the heartbreak that she knows will come with getting too tied up in Max.

The charity event is looming closer and Max's dad, owner of the company that is in direct competition with Chloe's boss' company, is gong to be in town and when Chloe's boss gets wind of this he is livid. Apparently there's a history there. A bad one. If Chloe has any hopes of making her comission and buying into the company then she needs to heed her boss' warnings and end it with Max.

The cliffhanger here is when Chloe is directed to a newspaper article by nefarious means, but what she reads there sends her over the edge and on a mission of attack - Max being the target. What was the article about? I don't know but I'm sure we will find out in the next book, Indiscretion: Volume Three.

Wow... I am hooked on the Indiscretion Serial by Elisabeth Grace!

Indiscretion Volume 2 picks up where the first volume left off. The cliffhanger crisis is dealt with and Chloe and Max have moved on.

What started as an agreement for a purely sexual relationship is evolving into more. Chloe and Max are finding that they genuinely enjoying each others company outside of the bedroom. They are starting to have feelings for one another. That does not fit into the "summer fling" scenario. It is too bad that their careers are about to conflict with their personal relationship.

Max's father owns the company that Max works for. His mortal enemy is Chloe's boss. The two have a vendetta against each other. Max's father has an agenda and Max wants to keep his relationship with Chloe a secret. Chloe's boss finds out about the relationship and lays down an ultimatum that Chloe cannot ignore.

The cliffhanger at the end of this will have the readers begging for the next volume. Indiscretion: Volume Three will release September 1, 2014.

This serial is sizzling hot. The erotic encounters, the passionate moments, and sexual tension between Max and Chloe will have readers fanning themselves. Add witty dialogue, strong characters, a tension building plot, and a beautiful budding romance and the readers really have a great serial to read.

Elisabeth Grace has done a wonderful job. I can't wait for more!

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this volume. Thanks goodness because I needed to see how Chloe and Max handle the bear! I cannot even imagine that happening to me! Chloe calls her friend, Gabe, the park ranger, to tell him about the bear and he tells her he will go back to the area to get her things that she left.

Chloe and Max continue their friends with benefits role, but secretly each of them are starting to fall for the other. Chloe ends up spending the night at Max's suite. The next morning while doing the walk of shame, she finds Gabe waiting for her at her house. He thinks she is just coming back from being out early, but when he realizes she is just coming home from last night he does not seem too happy. I'm not sure if I like Gabe yet. He seems like he has a hidden agenda.

After Chloe has a long day with working and a meeting she goes to see Max. I swooned with what Max did for Chloe after she showed up! I want a Max of my very own! ;) The chemistry between these two is HOT and I love the banter back and forth.

We finally get a little bit of Max's dad, Winston Richfield. He sounds like a piece of work. The volume ends with Chloe's boss, Mr. Cullen telling her that she has to do a certain thing. I can't believe what her boss is making her do! I also can't wait to see what the deal is between Mr. Cullen and Winston Richfield!

The the cliffhanger....ugh! What the heck did the paper say? Killing me here Ms. Grace!

Overall I am really enjoying this series and can't wait for the next part!

Another great part in this compelling and hot series. The first novella showed us the background and the characters, it was catchy and full of intense, hot scenes. I immediately liked both Chloe and Max, they both had their pasts and pain and although the chemistry is smoking hot, Chloe is determined not to fall under Max's spell.
After the ending of part 1, I was desperate to begin part 2. I badly needed to know what happened. It jumped straight back in to the action and kept the flow perfectly throughout this next volume. In keeping with volume 1, it ends on an exciting and intriguing note. Yet again I'm dying to know what happened and can't wait for the next part.
Chloe and Max are becoming far more attached to each other, even through their best efforts not to. Yet the little things are starting to creep in, the sweet things that show they are becoming more than an arrangement. Although the arrangement they try to stick to is crazy hot!!
It would seem there is quite a few obstacles being thrown at them, to make it as hard as possible to see each other. The question is, will they overcome them in the next part. Can't wait to find out.

Volume 2 of Indiscretion picks up right where the first one ended (with a minor cliffy, but nothing too bad) and explores the connection between Chloe and Max. They are both still insistent that this thing between them stay causal, but it’s pretty oblivious that both of them want more.

“Whatever happened between us, however much sex we had and however good it was, I could keep it in perspective. I would have to. Because I would not fall for Max Richfield.”

I thought volume 1 of Indiscretion was steamy, but volume 2 blows (pun intended) it out of the water on the sweltering charts. I am literally stuttering over my words, trying to think of how to get past this one scene… It is THAT hot!

I love the way that Elisabeth is able to build up each volume to where it feels like a full novel and leaves you salivating for more. I can’t wait for the next volume to see where Max and Chloe’s story goes!

This serial keeps building and building! It's going at a great pace that throws out information to keep you at the edge of your seat, but not making it overwhelming.

Chloe and Max's relationship is really steaming up. Despite their original intentions to simply keep this a fling, both are starting to feel a little more. Chloe's still not ready to kick the relationship into gear, but she is more willing to think it over.
Max's life is opened up to us a little more, and questions are beginning to arise about his father and his business.

There's a bit of a Romeo & Juliet aspect going on here. People are starting to come between Chloe and Max, and their relationship might be fizzling out before it really gets a chance to spark up.

Volume 2 was even better than volume 1. As this story progresses, Elisabeth Grace continues to impress and take her storytelling to a new level. She had me reading as fast as possible to see where these two would go next. Elisabeth expertly portrays the battle between Max and Chloe’s heads and hearts. Their frustration is palpable and Elisabeth makes sure the air is thick with emotion. She manages to capture all of the uncertainty and blend it perfectly with the moments of pure bliss that occur between these two. This volume ends on a cliffhanger that had me frantically swiping, looking for the next page. Elisabeth Grace sure knows how to leave a girl hanging. I need volume 3 NOW!

Wow what a story, Thankfully I didn't get lost after picking it up from Volume One. It basically starts right were 1 left off at. Just when I didn't think it could get any better it proved me wrong. The author has this amazing talent at keeping my attention and holding it, that and the writing is out of this world amazing. This journey is great so far and I can't wait to get further into the journey with the author and the characters. For such a short story it is still very amusing and wonderful.

The Indiscretion Series was my introduction to Elisabeth Grace's books and as a whole I enjoyed it. I was lucky to have all four volumes on hand, so I didn't have to wait between each release. Honestly, I'm not sure I would have continued on if I hadn't had all the books in the series. I did read the first two right away and made the decision to see it through and in the end, I'm glad that I did. Volume Three was my favorite in the series, but each one held a piece of the puzzle that kept me interested.

What worked for me:
~The chemistry between Max and Chloe was great. They were sexy and fun. I also just enjoyed their easy banter. It was clear to me from the beginning that this couple had the potential to be something really good.
~I liked seeing them fall in love despite having certain challenges in their way. They're both in real estate development and essentially became rivals. I liked that there was a background story about why their "bosses" were at odds with each other. It was more than just a business transaction, it was personal.
~The sex was pretty great. I read a lot of erotic romance and some authors have what it takes to make me melt and others...just write sex. Grace can write some really great sex. There were quite a few times that I felt a bit flushed. That said, I would venture that she could even push her limits a bit further. Especially since this was an erotic series. But still, I was pleased.

What didn't work for me: (may contain slight spoilers)
~I was really digging the suspense aspect of the story and as it played out, I was really disappointed. It was wrapped up quickly and easily. I was left feeling like "Why even add that into the story?"
~In Volume Four, Max is dealt a pretty rough hand. Now, I liked it, but I was also taken by surprise with the direction the series went in. I was happy with the result of this "issue", but I would have liked to have seen more regarding Max's surprising news.
~The last thing I wanted to mention was that I didn't really feel like Max's history about his brother needed to be added into the story. I understood that there needed to be a reason for the discord in his family, but again...it seemed abrupt.
~I think with all these issues combined, you may see a pattern. Overall, I felt that there were parts of the story that were a bit all over the place. I would have been happy with the work conflict and expanding Max's critical issue at the end. Those two issues would have presented enough conflict for me as a reader to keep my interest.

Overall, I did enjoy it as a whole. Volume Three was my favorite. It had the best flow and I loved the character development. It was also the sexiest volume, in my opinion. Am I glad I read it? Yes, I am. I really am glad that I stuck with it. I enjoyed the characters and I was in need of a sexy, so this certainly fit the bill! If you are a fan of serials and are in need of a sexy...check this one out!

Favorite Quote:
~"Every time I look at you, it's like the first time I saw you, and I thank my lucky stars all the time that we met. I can't imagine being apart from you again. I want you beside me every day-forever. Hell, forever won't be long enough."

Forelsket (Norewegian):

(n.) the specific feeling experienced while falling in love, rather than simply being in love



Indiscretion: Volume Two takes off right where Volume One left us hanging—in the woods with a bear watching Max and Chloe doing…stuff. #LuckyMotherfuckingBear

Chloe and Max’s chemistry continues to burn hot while they also seem to be discovering feelings for each other that they really shouldn’t be having. And what shall I even say about the writing?

Shall I compare thee (Miss Grace) to a summer’s day? Thy writing is more lovely and more temperate;

That is, if lovely stands for absolutely badass and temperate stands for smokin’.

If I were to, say, cast a major distinction between volumes 2 & 3, I’d say that while volume 2 is majorly about a sexual coming together of Max and Chloe (#DidYouSeeWhatIDidThere), Volume 3 is about discovering just how deep their feelings for each other go. It’s funny, actually. If I weren’t completely in love with this series, I’d go so far as to say that the sex was the only thing in Volume 2. Now that I think of it, it kind of was.

But there’s this certain sense of…something that these two gave me in Volume 2. I can’t quite put my finger on it. I guess the closest emotion I can think of to describe it would be hope.

Max and Chloe don’t want the complications that come with being in a relationship. They don’t want the cuddles and the giggles. They don’t want love.

But what do they have, between the two of them? All of the above.

Of course our pasts always, always come back to haunt us. We don’t know how the universe functions and so, the things we say or do today have a way if biting us right in the ass tomorrow.

If you’ve gotten a hint from the above, you know that Indiscretion: Volume Two ends at a cliffhanger.

AGAIN.

#FuckingCliffhangers

On a somewhat unrelated note:

If you’ve read my review of Indiscretion: Volume One, (if you haven’t, WTF?! It’s here) then you know I wanted Max to do dirty, dirty things to Chloe while also talking about it. And so I made a note in my review to let Miss Grace know.

Well Holy HOTNESS MAX RICHFIELD!! Volume 1 was SMOOOKIN. Volume 2 was off the charts fan myself must have extra panties HAWT!!!

This picks up right where Volume 1 left off and let me tell you I am glad I had both at once! In this second installment by the fabulous Elisabeth Grace we get to see deeper into what makes our Max and Chloe cocktail and my oh my, what a tasty tantalizing cocktail it is!!! I will admit I liked this one better than the first, it’s like the first, you get a “here is a little taste of what you can have, but unh unh unh no touching” and then Volume 2 comes and knocks me off my swizzlestick!! Earning this a HOT 5 Stars!

“The sex had been f**king mind blow. Bat it out of the park, grand slam in the bottom of the ninth, mind-blowing”

Chloe starts to open up more and more to Max. Wanting to spend even more time with him, she can’t seem to stay away. Do I blame her? Hell no! I would want to spend every waking minute with that man. She tells him more and more about her past, why she does what she does, loves what she loves and is the way she is.

“God, I was swooning. Seriously, who actually swooned? Girls who aren’t keeping themselves in check, that’s who”

Well Chloe I wouldn’t be able to keep myself in check either girl around that hot piece of swoonworthy sexiness. Yes girl, I am SWOONING!

Max is starting to realize that she means more to him with each passing minute they spend together. The more he sees who Chloe is the more he finds himself wanting to know. We learn that Max has secrets too. Secrets that haunt him in his dreams and we learn more about his family and what makes up Max Richfield.

“I sounded like a love-sick loser; not at all like a guy who was getting the best sex of his life with a hot woman who wanted no strings attached. Get a grip, jack@ss – this was every man’s dream”

I don’t want to spoil this, but at the end….Something BIG happens. She is forced to make a choice, but what will she decide. Will she go with her heart, her lady parts or go with her head. Maybe it’s a mixture of all three, she just needs to prioritize which is more important and at the very end…BAM! Someone leaves something they want Chloe to see, but what is it? Who left it…..

And where does this leave Chloe and Max???? Volume 3 is hot on this ones tail and I am squirming to find out what happens now.. Elisabeth keep em coming!!!

And the series gets better and better! Elisabeth Grace is becoming one of my favorite authors with her amazing writing style and her engrossing story-lines. I'm an obsessed with Max and Chloe's story because it feels so genuine. Although they both agree that what is developing between them is just a fling, you can tell they both really care for one another. I guess that's why I connect with both characters, because they feel so real to me.

This book continues on from the last book. Both Chloe and Max have agreed to continue their no-strings-attached relationship and seem to be happy with it. That is, until feelings start to rise. They both start to fall for each other and emotions are running deep.

But Max is still keeping things from his past a secret from Chloe. He finds it shocking how much he has grown to care for Chloe, but fears what that could mean in the future. He doesn't have time for a relationship and he's leaving Maine to go back to New York in only a few short months, yet, he can't seem to stay away from the woman who sees the real him--not the millionaire, not the successful business man--but him. Is things too good to be true?

And will Max's past come in-between them?

I swear, these books are getting better and better! I absolutely adore Max! He's so charming, adorable, smart, and honest. He speaks his mind and isn't afraid to run after the things he wants in life. I can see why Chloe likes him! Chloe reminds me of myself. Quiet, shy, and always looking after others before looking after herself. That's why I connect with her. She's a relatable character that I think many readers can relate to. Plus, she's strong and brave when she needs to be.

Another amazing book by Elisabeth Grace! I can't wait to read more of her work! Still shocked over the ending of this book and I'm ecstatic to get the next book.

I recommend this book to everyone! It's amazing and worth the read!

My favorite parts:

"Christ, give the girl a few hours to recover before you try and jump her again, or she'll think you're either part rabbit or a regular at Sex Addicts Anonymous meetings."

"I hurried down the hall like I was being chased by Cupid's arrow. Which was stupid. The thing had already hit it's d*mn target."
