MadHatter: Why so blue Alice?

Blue_Alice: I want to explore a part of me I’ve kept hidden.

MadHatter: Why?

Blue_Alice: Because I don’t have anything to lose.

MadHatter: That’s dangerous.

Violet
After sacrificing years of my life on a cheating husband, I’d had enough. I set out to quench a thirst I had ignored for years. I gave myself one year to explore my sexuality—to delve into my deepest, darkest desires. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, I would have my sexual revolution. I would have my…awakening.
Diving into the world of both pleasure and pain, I was sure with Rhys I had found what I’d been missing…until he took it away.
_________

Rhys
I was on my way out of the life when she came barging in with her new appetite and unrealistic expectations of what a Dom should be. All I had left to do to break free was sell the club and walk away. Now I found I had something to walk toward. And for the first time in my life, I hoped I’d be enough for a woman.
Caring for a woman was easy for me. I had always cared for different women for different reasons. Loving a woman had always been quite a bit harder.

Doms don’t have to say I love you.

★★★★! The Waltz, part 1 of 4. One woman’s sexual awakening & exploration under the guidance of Rhys aka Mr. Thick Cock!

“I’ve had my tongue on your pussy for ten seconds, Violet, but I could eat it all night. Stop talking.”

The Sexual Awakenings serial should be read in order:
Part 1: The Waltz
Part 2: The Tango
Part 3: The Last Dance
Part 4: Curtains


The Waltz (part 1) in the first installment in the Sexual Awakening serial. It opens up to housewife and part-time realtor, Violet Harvell, Vi aka Blue_Alice coming to the conclusion that her 3-year marriage is over. For at least the past year her husband has carried on not one, but two affairs.

She has decided to give herself a year of self-exploration and sexual awakening. While searching local options she comes across an enticing yet peculiar ad for the Rabbit Hole and soon finds herself chatting with “Madhatter”.

Rhys Volz aka MadHatter aka Mr. Thick Cock owns the kinky sex club, The Rabbit Hole and upon meeting Vi agrees to guide and explore her sexual awakening providing he get exclusivity.

“Everything you have at home, throw it out. No books, no toys, no other partners. I become everything you need sexually. No exceptions.”

And so the awaking of Vi begins. She goes from a husband with a mediocre penis and one-position sex to Mr Thick Cock and more kink and pleasure than she ever dreamed of. It’s a tantalizing journey of foreplay, role play, rules, rewards and light punishment….. and Epson salt baths to heal her soreness, LOL!

But will Vi be able to adhere to the rules and handle the consequences if she doesn’t? And besides she hasn’t told her husband about the divorce just yet…

Six words to describe Rhys Volz aka MadHatter aka Mr. Thick Cock: Commanding, assured, enigmatic, committed, confident and charismatic.

 photo SA1 he BS by sb_zpsozjie4yv.gif

Six words to describe Violet Harvell, Vi aka Blue_Alice: Loyal, sweet, endearing, impressionable, determined and curious.

The Waltz moves at quick and pleasant pace all the way to cliffhanger ending, but no worries just skip to part 2, The Tango for the continuation of their journey.

Excellent plot! Sizzling sex scenes! Enticing hero, Rhys Volz! A very promising beginning!

Holy hell that was one hot read! I love sexy books and novellas. I can’t get enough of them. It’s so hard for me to rate them 5 stars, no matter how hot, because of lack of story. Thats the main thing I loved about this novella. It was insanely hot, but there was actually a story in there. A story I really liked and am looking forward to reading more of!

Violet is married, but her marriage has been falling apart for the longest time. Her husband loved her once, but now he constantly carries on affairs and she’s lucky if he comes home at night before she’s in bed. Violet’s life is comfortable, but she’s had enough. She can’t stay in this life. She wants to start living, get out there and find herself. She wants to open up and figure out what she wants. She wants to explore her self and her sexuality.

 photo 55b189de-b7f6-4140-98e5-0d3d7d936af2_zpsc5d21e08.jpg

She finds a way to do that… going right down the rabbit hole. Violet has decided to take the next year and spend her life how she wants. She wants to be open to experience new things, to have her every desire fulfilled. She meets a man that just might be able to fulfill her every fantasy. Rhys.

Rhys and Violet together… that connection and the heat. It was just so damn sexy and intense.

 photo GIFY7_zps040e9017.gif

I don’t want to go into what happens between Violet and Rhys, but I will say it’s not what I expected to happen. I’m anxious to see where the story will go. There is a small cliffhanger at the end, but it’s a serial novella so that’s going to happen. It’s nothing so extreme it would deter people from reading.

Sexual Awakening is the perfect title for this novella. If you’re looking for a smoking hot read with a great story, interesting characters and captivating writing, I would recommend this one. It was a real winner for me!

WOW!!!!
That is what I said to myself as soon as I finished this book.
I had seen all the great reviews and was a little worried that I would not feel the same as everyone else. It has happened to me before. I am happy to say I am in agreement with all the RAVE reviews!! I have found another book boyfriend who is worth the SWOON!!


Ladies you have got to read this, to meet Rhys!!


Violet is a woman whose marriage is a disaster. Her husband has been having multiple affairs and she's known this for quite some time. It has been a very long time since she's had sex and she is looking to change this situation. She decides it's time to have her own affair and she's going to get as kinky as she wants. She goes online in search for a place to go to get all of her wildest sexual fantasies fulfilled and comes across a website for a club called The Rabbit Hole. Once on the site she gets a chat request from someone called The Mad Hatter. A short chat with sexy innuendos ensues and within a week she receives a request to meet this sexy stranger in person.



Violet ends up at the Rabbit Hole which turns out to be a very posh sex club. She gets an eye full of a couple at the bar and hell if I didn't need to stop and fan myself a few times. In real life, we all know it is highly unlikely that the guy you've never seen and have only chatted with online, will turn out to be gorgeous, rich, single, have a huge penis and knows how to use it. Well this is exactly what Violet gets in Mr.Rhys Volz. He has to be all these things for a reader to really enjoy this story. This reader freaking LOVED it!!! Rhys is just about everything I want in a man. He offers to fulfill all of Violet's sexual fantasies but he has some rules he demands she adheres to.


"Everything you have at home, throw it out. No books, no toys, no other partners. I become everything you need sexually. No exceptions."


Did I not say WOW??!!!
I was thinking this Violet is one lucky lady and wouldn't it be amazing if this could happen to me?



Every time Rhys and Violet meet up the scenes are definitely panty melting HAWT!!! But they are also slowly getting closer and there is tenderness between them. Violet is scared of her growing feelings for Rhys. This is not what she wanted. All she was looking for was some really amazing sex without any complications, but she was starting to see that there was so much more to Rhys and that maybe she had found the perfect man for her. She kept some secrets from him which may end up destroying what was starting to develop between them.


Luckily book two is queued up in my Kindle App and I'm going to dive right in!!

The first in a series of serials, 'The Waltz' pulled me in and left me craving more. At less than 100 pages, this serial can be easily read in one sitting. The story was engaging and entertaining from start to finish.

Violet, aka "Vi", is stuck in a loveless marriage. Her husband, Alex, doesn't even try to hide his indiscretions at this point, talking loudly on the phone with his mistresses while Vi is in earshot, etc. Alex clearly has no regard for Vi or her feelings.

Past the point of caring, Vi decides that she is going to pursue a divorce. In the meantime, she decides that she has been without the physical connection to a man for long enough. She decides to explore some of her wilder, secret sexual fantasies.

After searching around the Internet for like-minded individuals, she runs across a private chat room and a private sex club, The Rabbit Hole. It is there that she meets Rhys, the club owner and man of her fantasies.

The two begin to explore Vi's limits and engage in a steamy affair. However, Vi hasn't been completely honest with Rhys. Eventually, her lie comes back to bite her and she risks losing the man she's falling in love with.

Overall, this was a great, quick read. I liked the characters and the storyline. There was enough angst to keep me anticipating the next move. I will be starting the second book immediately.

5 Wowzers Stars

I am going to begin with a little back story. I signed up to read this book because I love serials and I love sexy reads. What I didn’t expect, was to be completely blown away with a real story with so much heart.

Violet has been married to Alex for three years. In those three years she has tried to be the perfect wife. Throughout the years Alex began to pull away from her. She has tried engaging him mentally and physically, going as far as to buy lingerie in an attempt to seduce him. After he turns her down multiple times Violet begins to think something is wrong with her, then she learns he has been carrying on multiple affairs. Devastated by this revelation Violet begins to withdraw.



Violet is mentally and physically frustrated. She can’t remember the last time she had sex or any intimacy with Alex. She has been getting by with her vibrator and erotic, romance novels. After reading her many novels she decides to do a little research to find these “sex clubs” she is always reading about. Of course, her search comes up empty and she deems this a lost cause until she receives an alert requesting a password. Violet decides to live carelessly, since her marriage is all but over and she is just waiting until after the holidays to file for divorce, and go down the rabbit hole.

“So I had a plan. I’d decided during my drive to give myself a year of no holds barred sexual exploration.”

What Violet doesn’t anticipate is meeting a man who just might be her perfect match. This goes against all her plans, she is supposed to allow herself this one year to be adventurous, live life the fullest, no regrets…but letting him go could turn into one of her biggest regrets.



Like I said before this story completely blew me away. First, this book is hot as fuck, and the hero is totally into some kinky shit, but not because there is anything that is wrong with him…no, he just enjoys pleasing a woman.



So yes, this story is about Sexual Awakening, but it also has so much heart. Violet is an average woman, who did everything she could to make her husband love her, to want to be with her. She isn’t trying to gain anything from divorcing from Alex, she just wants to know what is it is like to be desired and loved again. She is lonely and Alex has stripped her of herself worth. In the end, I found Violet to be very likable and I could understand her struggles and heartbreak.

I am so excited to see where things go with this serial, I think it is off to a great start.

"That's what we women crave, to be worshiped and showered with gifts and adored while getting our brains fucked out."


You know what they say… One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

After sacrificing years of my life on a cheating husband, I'd had enough. I set out to quench a thirst I had ignored for years. I gave myself one year to explore my sexuality—to delve into my deepest, darkest desires. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, I would have my sexual revolution. I would have my … awakening.

Unsure of where to start, I took a risk to make myself seen. Little did I know, the man who saw me would give me everything I ever wanted, one sweet orgasm at a time.

Diving into the world of both pleasure and pain, I was sure with Rhys I had found what I’d been missing … until he took it away.

***FILTHY EROTIC ROMANCE. For Mature Audiences only. Extremely Explicit Sex. Strong Language.

Right off the bat I can say Violet came to life, she was easy to sympathize with, not because you felt pity but because something about her just make you want to relate to her in any level you can. I found myself pissed off on her behalf and cheering her on as she made her intentions known. Vi is not your average female, she somehow knows enough of what she wants to not be completely blind but innocent in her reactions to make things exciting.
"...mostly I want to find out what I want."



Jumping right in and taking the ultimate risk, she meets Rhys, or in reality he finds her...now this is a man that has the whole package, tall-dark-handsome, smart, dominant, sensual and confident. Violet pretty much hit the jack pot with him. He is playful and teasing but never in a demeaning way, only when he wants to give her a hard time about the things she thought she knew based on the books she's read. (See totally relate-able, lol.) The dynamics of the two although lust filled and sexual, is not all about sex; Rhys treats her as a lady and is can be a complete gentlemen when the mood strikes him, throwing her completely off balance.
"Well, this is not a scenario where you are fucking a man with no heart. Again with the books. I have feelings, emotions. I'm not made of steel, I bleed and I like to get to know the women I fuck...Sex is just as psychological as it is physical, Violet. I date. I have relationships. Not all people into kink have some sort of demon to battle. It's a sexual preference."



She didn't anticipate things progressing as fast as they did when she still has her real life to iron out or did she remember what it was like to be with a man who is possessive, jealous and dominant in all ways. Clearly a man like Rhys doesn't like complication and her shituation is as complicated as they get... Is she about to lose the one good thing she hasn't even had the chance to wrap her head around ???

The Waltz (Sexual Awakenings #1) is the first of the four-part serial, it was the perfect in the sense of easily pulling you in, keeping your interest and enticing you to move on. It was such a refreshing-erotically-sexy-naughty read and a wonderful start to a series I know I'm going to enjoy!

"Come on Violet, divorce is not death and you’ve got a lot of living to do."

The Waltz is the first in a four part novella series by the outrageously talented Angelica Chase. Not only is this series sexy but the writing is well executed through the detailed plot, well developed characters, and the steady pacing set throughout the series.

"A year straight of eating alone will do that to a woman. I opted for another night of wine and my vibrator."-Violet

description


Violet is in a failing marriage. Devoid of both physical and emotional connection with her husband, she is headed straight towards the land of divorce. Her husband has been cheating on her and her life seems desolate. Violet decides to take control and explore the possibilities. She finds herself on a restricted website and she makes a connection with a Dom named Rhys.

description

"I had waited long enough. My body was starving for touch, my lips bankrupt from a lack of kisses. While a relationship didn’t appeal to me, at least not immediately, the thought of a good hard f**k made me insane with want. Not that I’d ever been satisfied sexually."-Violet

When Rhys and Violet meet she is intrigued, inspired, and literally brought back to life. The sexual connection between the two is off the charts. Because Violet is experiencing everything for the first time, as a reader, we experience the "magic of the first time" right along with her!

description

"I was sure it was showing in my face. It had been so long since I felt this type of affection, since I was this full, this appreciated, this … happy. I wanted it to last."-Violet

Rhys and Violet together is like magic! The two have instant chemistry and they both quickly realize there might just be more developing between the two than sex!

description

However, as you can guess, the water isn't smooth sailing between Rhys and Violet. They both have secrets that are bound to tear them apart. This book ends in a cliffy- so have the second book loaded and ready to go.

"RHYS: The Barracks. One hour. RED."

Overall, I found this book to be an enticing introduction to this deliciously erotic series. Ms. Chase has the technical writing skills of a goddess! She meticulously weaves a story full of steamy sex with a complex plot. Rhys and Violet are both likable, witty, and passionate characters that I cannot help to want more of! On to the next one!

~Special thanks to my sista' CC for this fantastic series recommendation!~

Violet is 32 years old. She has been married for three years. She knows for sure her husband is a cheating asshole, having not only one, but two women. She is tired to try to do something for her marriage. She tried anything, even buying sexy lingerie especially to seduce her husband. Nothing worked. She decides to wait until after holidays to file for divorce. She’s still a young woman and she has needs. She is tired to live without sex or passion. She craves a man’s touch, someone who knows how to satisfy her.

“I wanted to be fucked ruthlessly, worshipped and tortured, brought to levels of sexual awareness I’d only dreamed about.”


She is more than ready to try anything. She wants it all.
She meets Rhys on the Internet and meets him soon in a club. Needless to say Rhys will satisfy Violet in every way. He is sexy, experienced and ready to give Violet what she needs. He’s the perfect match for her.

“No books, no toys, no other partners. I become everything you need sexually.”


description

This was short, enjoyable enough read. I liked there's actually a story here.

Unfortunately, for me it was just an ok read. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't too great either.

I liked Violet. She’s strong, determined and most of all she knows what she wants. Rhys was hot and the sex scenes between them were sexy and passionate.

The story is told from Violet's POV, but I would have liked Rhys's POV too.

I’m curious how everything will progress between them, so I will raed the next installment/s. The story ends with a little cliffy, but nothing big.

Overall, a nice read!

4.5 "Mad Hatter" Stars


My first thoughts when reading this were, “This is fucking hot!!!! Why in the world did I wait so long to start this series???" Rhys Volz someone I should have met a while ago!! lol!! And, Violet Harvell is no slouch either. She is one sassy and smart woman!

The series opens with Violet (Vi) reaching her limit with her cheating husband and seeks her own sexual awakening. In doing so, she meets Rhys who is one devastatingly handsome and commanding man.

“This man wasn’t just good looking, he was a slap in the face to good looking.”




"I intend to make you crave me after I worship, shower, adore your pussy and fuck your brains out.”


When they agree to meet and explore Vi’s sexual needs, they realize they are very sexually compatible. Their agreement is meant to be emotionless - strictly pleasure and pain of the sexual nature - but as feelings start to development, secrets are uncovered and darker sides emerge.


"Never be afraid to tell me what you want.”




I loved both Rhys and Vi!! I instantly connected with both of them! Angelica Chase has an amazing writing style and she loops you in right away!! The series is erotica, but there is also a substantive story supporting all the hot, panty-melting sex! I am moving onto book two in the series because I need more of Rhys’ dirty talking mouth! I know there is a big secret and I must know what it is!! I highly recommend it!!!

A sexilicious start!



The Waltz is the first volume in a four part erotic novella series with lashings of romance and sex!

It’s the story of Violet and Rhys, told from their dual perspective which always works magically for me. I love hearing the thoughts of both the heroine AND the hero.

The story begins with Violet facing the disintegration of her marriage to her once upon a time best friend. She’s sad and has cried many tears but finds the necessary strength to reach out and seek change. She’s determined to live out and discover her fantasies. It’s time for her…. Sexual Awakening

Rhys is good looking in the extreme with his mysteriously dark, enigmatic ways. I found him intriguing and needed to know more.... What's his story? And of course he’s ultra sexy providing our heroine with some deliciously erotic delights.

The story drew me in during the opening chapter with it's fast pace and the voice of the heroine..... The story all falls perfectly into place..… Rhys and the fetish bar easily become part of the story giving it a fairy-tale-like quality, which is a lovely thing.

In some respects this story ticks all my romantic, erotic loving needs but in other areas I wished for a little more to fulfill my personal tastes.... I found the lack of contractions in some of the dialogue detracted from the authentic feel of the character's conversations, making them seem a little stilted and, consequently, affecting the flow of my read and connection to the heroine.

This book is erotically enticing and has great potential so I was keen to continue on to the next volume; I especially wanted more of our hero. If an erotic read is just your thing then check out this series.

** 2,5 ** stars

I guess I'm in the minority amongst my friends, but this book just didn't work for me. While the story had potential, I wasn't happy with its delivery. I didn't feel the connection between main charachters and found their "relationship" a bit too business like. They met, they started having sex and that's all. When the sex scenes are supposed to be hot, they were just awkward for me. I also think heroine was a bit too quick and dissolute when rediscovering her long gone sex life. I caught myself waiting for the scenes with cheating husband to get some thrill from angst, and he was secondary character.... that should be saying something. I may or may not check the 2nd part just to see where the story goes, but with so many books on my TBR... well, I'll see....

Unpopular opinion to follow



Vi, 32 years old, married to a cheating husband is fed up with her failed marriage and her bored sex life or lack thereof. She carves not only sex but kinky sex and since she has nothing to lose she is willing to get kinky sex somewhere else.

She stumbles upon The Rabbit Hole. A sex club where she meets the owner Rhys. And Rhys is willing to show her kinky sex.

Okay I wont beat around the bush. I didn't like this book. First thing what
attracted negative attention was how the heroine described things.

I kept my hands away, studying the gorgeous cock in front of me. It was thicker than it was long, though he had nothing to be ashamed about in that department either.



So, did I get that right. Thicker than long..



So even if its a long cock, its always thicker than it is long right?



I don't want to be picky, I think I'm very tolerable. Even more since English is not my first language, but this?



So I have absolutely no idea what shape his cock has but fortunately Vi gives a good comparison:

I was ridiculously out of shape and I had been well fucked by a man with a dick the size of a tall Red Bull.



There are lots of things you can compare a penis to. But I think a tall Red Bull can is not the sexiest way




And then there was Rhys' reaction when Vi
Suddenly he was sulking like a little boy whose toy was stolen.



Overall I wasn't a fan of the writing. It felt like the flow was missing.
Needless to say the plot couldn't win me over either. So sadly I didn't like this one like others.

4.25 Anxiously Wanting to Dance More Stars!

I was a bit leery going into this book...I think writing erotica has to be tough...especially good erotica.

That being said, I start with saying this is "Filthy Erotica" and get this, it has a story!


YES! A real actual little tale that sucks you in and makes you go hmmmmm. No asshat kinda man with "issues" so far. No bossy millionaire lifestyles. Just a story of discovery done HOT and STEAMY!

You see, Violet is a stay at home kinda gal. She married her college sweetheart. He has yet to knock her socks off in any way, shape, or form...


Well he does seem to be busy knocking other socks off! So, Violet, my girl, well she is a true woman. She has had enough! She likes to read her smut and she is in dire need of a big earth shattering orgasm by something other than her Bullet!


Enter Rhys...mysterious "Mad Hatter." A risky internet chat, an impromptu meet up at a seedy adult club and GAME ON!





Enjoying the new found sexual freedom is exhilarating for Violet. She is having pleasure overload with a sexy, mysterious man. all is well...only let's not forget she is married, and she is a woman thus she does have a heart. DAMN those feelings. Damn that attraction that is developing into something more!

While this Waltz has been life altering...perhaps it was only meant to be just a simple dance...Rhys seems to be more than he is. Violet is gonna have to ante up for her survive the RED!

Violet lives a lonely life of luxury. Married to a man she once loved, but now listens to him whisper sweet nothings to his mistress(es) behind closed doors, she's had enough. Enough of sitting home alone with her wine and vibrator. She wants to experience the sex life found in her erotic novels, feel the desire from a man to take her every which way till Sunday.


So Vi happens upon a porn site...one out of her Savannah Georgia hometown. She strikes up a chat with user Madhatter and finds herself intrigued...and turned on. Madhatter texts her an address. Should she come? She'll just drive by...what harm in that? Until she finds it's an exclusive sex club. Now her interest is seriously piqued.


Rhys, owner of said sex club, offers Vi the opportunity she can't refuse. One year she will lose all inhibition, experience all there's to experience sexually. Then she will divorce Alex, filled with renewed self esteem and vigor. Rhys is an offer she cannot refuse...

The Waltz is seriously a hot spicy novella. Rhys is the perfect combination of masculine, experienced, dominant yet endearing. Things heat up quick between these two and naturally the book ends with a significant cliffhanger


Moving on...

Waltz- To move with self-assuredness or indifference: To accomplish a task, chore, or assignment with little effort.

Violet is 32 yrs old and in a lifeless marriage. Her husband has affairs and she is left at home to manage the house. But Violet decides that she wants sex, she wants life, and she wants out. She decides to investigate sex clubs over the internet. After instant messaging she gets an invitation to The Rabbit Hole. She meets Rhys who is a sexual dominant and he decides to take Violet under his wing as she rediscovers herself. She tells Rhys…..
”What do I want? I want to do things like that, indulge on my sexual whims. I want to experience everything I feel I’ve been missing. I want to try it all and tonight I think I want you.” …….“But mostly I want to find out what I want.”


Violet thinks that this will be all fun and games. As she asks for a divorce, she plans on having fun just like her husband has been doing. Sounds easy and perfect but…….when you are starved for attention and love and sex, can you really keep your heart out of the game? The sex is hot and steamy and these two hit it off instantaneously. There is a bit of mystery surrounding Rhys, I don’t quite know what it is but I am looking forward to reading the next installment.

BR with the girls Jxxx and TeriLyn.

The "talk" came a bit too late for me.

***A wee bit spoilerish, proceed with caution***

The Waltz was good. I liked the writing and enjoyed the eroticism, but deep down it's still plain old cheating. Yes, I understood the why and the how, but she'd already made her decision. Why wait to end things? Her lying didn't surprise me at all and I feel like Rhys deserves better. Saying that, I'm still getting the next book. I'm looking forward to finding out what red entails. The end was a bit of a cliffhanger, but luckily for me, the next one is already out.

This was an amazing discovery.
I am usually not a big fan of novellas and quick reads, because I always find them lacking.
This one was different.
Hot, great characters, good writing and it left me wanting more.
Be aware that this one ends with cliffy.

4 'I Love Mexican' Stars

This was one hot, panty-dropping read!


And let's just say I've always loved Mexican food but after the scene in this novella, I have a new appreciation for the cuisine!!


The Waltz certainly is no fairytale.


Vi (Violet Harvell) is a sexually frustrated woman who finds herself facing the end of an empty, loveless and sexless marriage. She seeks a "sexual awakening" and goes online in start of her quest, where she ends up talking to Rhys and eventually, meets him at the Rabbit Hole.

The symbolism and references to Alice in Wonderland and the adventure that Vi is about to embark on are everywhere.


Rhys, aka Madhatter aka (my personal favourite) Mr. Thick Cock is just my kind of guy.



His commanding ways, cocky come backs and all around Alpha sexiness is HOT, HOT, HOT and Vi agrees as her body responds in a way she only dreamed of.


I'm looking forward to things heating up in the The Tango.

Violet knows her marriage is not going anywhere but downhill. After discovering that her husband was having an affair with different woman, she wants out.

Trapped in a loveless marriage, Violet knows she was deprived of some pent-up sexual desire that she craved for. Some mind blowing orgasm that she only read on erotica books. Enough is enough, Violet want's some action. Searching online for a possible hook-up with someone led her to a bar named The Rabbit Hole.

The Rabbit Hole where Violet expects to experience some of her sexual fantasy comes to life. There she met Rhys, sex-on-a-stick, kind of a man. The chemistry between these two is undeniable and the sex is scorching hot.

Even though this relationship is a no-string attached complication or misunderstanding are bound to happen. Will Rhys forgive Violet for not telling the him truth? Or will Violet pursue Rhys to explain her side of the story? I'm starting book 2 after writing this because Rhys is waiting for me. *wink*

Angelica Chase knows how to get her reader be addictive to her books. Kudos to you for writing yet another hot and lovely series.

Well it was HOT

I didn't expect the story to turn out the way it is but I liked it.

Violet is a wife but she got nothing from her husband. It's been years he haven't touched her, he doesn't even get home and now Violet wants it to stop! She wants a divorce and she wants a sexual life.

Not quite sure, what she is looking for, she knows she wants to experiment sex like in the books she read. She starts looking on the internet and found a mysterious site "The Rabbit Hole".
She quickly realize that this is also a sex bar where she meet the owner, Rhys.

Rhys is mysterious and while at first I thought he would be all business and no personal, it's a total different man we met.
Rhys is a man with feelings and emotions. He's a pretty normal guy with a job and the bar was given to him years ago. He's confident sexual speaking but there's more to him than that.

I will read the second book immediately because I can't wait to know what will happen between Violet and him. Where at first, I thought it would be all about the sex experience, this book turns out to be more personal and I like it a LOT!

Violet is coming to terms with the failure of her marriage. While her husband has slipped further away, lost in his own sexual affairs, Violet is wanting to explore her own sexuality.

She doesn’t quite know what she wants, but she knows she wants to try it all. When she discovers an online ad, it brings her to the Rabbit Hole, and to Rhys. A man that offers to give her everything she wants as long as she’s willing to adhere to the rules. His rules.

This was a fantastic start to this serial series. Although I was finding it difficult to not want to slap her over her lack of following through with her decision... I still found myself completely committed to this story and these two characters.

I loved that Rhys was mysterious. There is something about him that just screams secrets. He seems so at ease as the dominant male, leading her on this journey but at the same time so at ease with creating something deeper than just a sexual relationship.

In just a handful of pages, the author gripped me. I connected to the characters, to their story.

A short, hot, sexy, filthy read. Captivated from the beginning with a weird fast forward movement after 75%.

Rhys&Violet


3 ★★★

Violet is so much like any other woman wanting to know and explore her sexuality. Yes, and when a woman is not appreciated, she wants her freedom so much.

Rhys. He's mysterious. I didn't quite get the feel of him yet.


So, this is a page turner for me. But I'm not quite into that part where I'm feeling giddy and excited. I haven't get myself immersed yet into the story, although with Violet, I totally get her. And I feel her.

My favorite lines in the story.
"Just remember who you are and take her with you."

"If you're asking if I'll ever get tired of fucking your pretty pink pussy in a variety of light and dark ways, I'm almost positive the answer is no."

"If you're asking if I'll ever get tired of fucking your pretty pink pussy in a variety of light and dark ways, Lies, deception, no matter how harmless you think they are or who's it going to protect, someone always gets hurt.

Very enjoyable. It’s a sexy, fun, super steamy and emotionally gratifying romance.

“I’ve had my tongue on your pussy for ten seconds, Violet, but I could eat it all night. Stop talking.”
