Contradictions #3
An Open Lock
Olivia’s relationship with Stanley is comfortable but is comfortable really enough? Tormented by the condom which has resided in her purse for a decade, Olivia Lyons wants more. When her childhood friend needs help, Olivia takes the leap back into singledom by moving to London to support her.
Olivia is looking to explore herself, to find the excitement and passion. What she isn’t looking for is E, the man who makes her lose her morals, boundaries, and her underwear.
E is mysterious, secretive, and very, very bad for Olivia’s mental health. For her mission of sexual exploration, however, he is the definition of masculine perfection. Even if she wants to punch him in the face.
E doesn’t open up for anyone, he knows what he wants and he takes it, binds it, and spanks it. Their relationship is defined by rules which lean in his favour, and that’s fine at first because he can teach her so much, but how long can a girl like Olivia tolerate a man like E before things become inevitably complicated and she gets hurt?

I was given an arc by the author to post an honest review, so here goes.
I went into the book already in love with Ian. He is by far my favourite Carter, but the first half of the book I was kinda pissed off at him, and labeling Olivia as an idiot, that doesn't mean that it wasn't enjoyable. However the second half of the book was my favourite, u get to see a different Ian.
although I LOVED the book, I deducted a star because we didn't get to see how E interacts with the family, or his opinions about lots of things tht happened in previous books. I know this is a standalone, but E is a major character in all 5 books, for us to not dive inside his head and know how he feels about certain things is just sad for me.
THE CLIFFJANGER. RJ please for the love of God dont leave us hanging like that for months , I couldn't put the book down and then when I was finished I was like ( what am I going to do now).
Now I am waiting impatiently for rj to solve the mystery of Ian Carter, I would love to see how this enigma of a man is going to get healed in the second book, and how will you approach lots of issues that happened throughout his life.
Thanks RJ for the lovely read, I fell more in love with E if that was even possible :)

********ENGLISH VERSION********
my first ARC in order to do a review, and I am honored and excited.
I started reading this book with enormous expectations and because now Miss Sable has become one of my must-authors, and because of all the five books I read, Ian Carter has always been my favorite. Hard, so hard that he could not be tender under the rind.
Not that the tender is published copiously in this book, but reading him even in earlier books I saw how much he is present for the welfare and security (economic as well as physical) of his entire family as well as that acquired (see Bella), and in this book it was not outdone.
In this book the expectations I had about Ian have definitely materialized, although, surprisingly, not as I would have thought ... there were passages where I thought I would change my mind about him, where putting myself in Olivia's shoes I would have eliminated him from my life .. but if Olivia had done everything like that... we wouldn't had the book ...: D
there are certain steps that I digested with difficulty (but that's my big problem when BDSM is involved); especially when Ian asked some type of intervention to Xander I could not believe what I was reading ... I thought for a moment that Ian was not worthwhile anymore. .. But just this step at the end changed the course of the relationship between Olivia and Ian in a way that I simply LOVED!
Olivia, well ... Olivia is a tricky business; I loved certain aspects of her personality, but sometimes it seemed like a clumsy childish and spineless kind of woman ... maybe because of my age (much higher than her) my judgment is not fair ;-)
Ian is certainly what I liked most of all the characters in the book, and I confess that I was sorry to read only the prologue from his point of view ... I think I'd love to know how he sees things especially in the next book where, however, I expect Ian to atone with so much "crawl" for his woman... because if I were his woman I would expect nothing less ... ;-p
and in this regard I can't wait for the next book to put together some pieces of history (and in my opinion Ian's choice in the end is connected to something about his work, his secrets and certain acts of vandalism against Olivia) and know how the storyline will develop, how Ian and Olivia will be able to move forward .
a small reference to Tamara and Xander: I adored them! and since I believe that the end of the book involves some consequences for the two of them, I really hope that in the second book I can read even more about them or why not, a book of their own is considered by Miss Sable.
However for me a 5 stars to store in the shelf of the favorites along with the other two books of Contradictions series !!!
******** VERSIONE ITALIANA ********
la mia prima ARC al fine di fare una recensione e ne sono onorata ed entusiasta.
Sono partita leggendo questo libro con grandissime aspettative sia perché ormai Miss Sable è diventata una delle mie autrici irrinunciabili, sia perché tra tutti i 5 libri che ho letto Ian è sempre stato il mio Carter preferito. Duro, così duro che non poteva che esserci del tenerissimo sotto quella scorza.
Non che il tenero sia uscito copiosamente in questo libro, ma leggendo di lui anche nei libri precedenti ho visto quanto sia presente e quanto si adoperi per il benessere e la sicurezza (economica oltre che fisica) della sua intera famiglia nonché di quella acquisita (vedi Bella), ed in questo libro non è stato da meno.
In questo libro le aspettative che avevo su Ian si sono sicuramente materializzate, anche se, sorprendentemente, non come avrei pensato... ci sono stati passaggi in cui ho pensato di ricredermi su di lui, in cui mettendomi nei panni di Olivia lo avrei eliminato dalla mia vita.. ma se Olivia avesse fatto tutto ciò... non avremmo avuto il libro... :D
ci sono alcuni passaggi che ho digerito con difficoltà (ma questo è il mio problema indissolubile quando c'è di mezzo il BDSM); in particolare quando Ian ha chiesto un certo tipo di intervento a Xander non credevo a quello che stavo leggendo... ho pensato per un attimo che Ian non valesse proprio più la pena. .. ma proprio questo passaggio alla fine ha cambiato il corso della relazione tra Olivia e Ian in un modo che ho semplicemente ADORATO!
Olivia, beh... Olivia è una questione spinosa; ho amato certi aspetti della sua personalità, ma ogni tanto mi sembrava una rimbecillita infantile e senza spina dorsale... certamente forse data la mia età (decisamente più alta della sua) il mio giudizio non è equo ;-)
certamente Ian è quello che ho apprezzato di più tra i protagonisti del libro, e confesso che mi è dispiaciuto leggere solo il prologo dal suo punto di vista... credo che sapere come lui veda le cose mi piacerebbe tantissimo soprattutto nel libro che verrà
dove comunque mi aspetto che Ian faccia ammenda con tanto tanto "strisciare" per la sua donna, perché se io fossi la sua donna pretenderei niente di meno... ;-p
e a questo proposito dover aspettare il prossimo libro per mettere insieme alcuni pezzi della storia (e secondo me c'entrano qualcosa con la scelta di Ian il suo lavoro, i suoi segreti e certi atti vandalici a danno di Olivia) e sapere come si svilupperà la trama, come Ian e Olivia riusciranno ad andare avanti... mi fa trepidare, ed ovviamente sarà durissima aspettare.
un piccolo riferimento a Tamara e Xander: li ho adorati! e siccome credo che la fine del libro comporti qualche conseguenza anche per loro due, spero davvero che nel secondo libro potrò leggere di più anche su loro o perché no, che un libro tutto loro venga preso in considerazione da Miss Sable.
Comunque per me un 5 stelle da riporre nella mensola dei favoriti insieme agli altri due libri delle Contradictions series!!!

First I need to say that it's 29.9°C in my flat at this exact moment, so my brain is slowly boiling and I can't be held responsible for being easily annoyed with guys pulling of asshole moves.... And I'm sorry but there might be some rambling involved here... ;)
So here goes...
I started to read Ian's book only 15 minutes after receiving my ARC (which I won last year, thanks again) from R.J Sable and then I couldn't stop... I had to force myself to put it down.
Now, after I forgot the world around me for the time I read "An open lock" I have to say: Wow! Awesome sauce!!!(as Becky Blossom would say it) This book rocked and I'm already desperate for my next Carter-fix!! =)
I started the book desperate to get to know more about Ian, the mysterious oldest Carter, I slowly grew to love in the other books and was a bit disappointed because I didn't get the insight I hoped for in the beginning.
Ian is one of my favorite Carter boys - at least, when he's caring and understanding... But the disappointment vanished pretty fast and was met with excitement because we got to see another side of Ian, that we didn't know before. And then, in the middle of the book, more and more of the considerate Ian -the guy I wanted to get to know better- bled into his character and behavior. That was awesome to watch.
I loved how Olivia helped us peel his professional, dominating persona away sometimes and I absolutely loved it, when Ian seemed to not be able to stop being the considerate, caring guy. It was awesome to see how she brought behavior and emotions out in him, that he couldn't handle - awwwwww bloody Ian Carter, the invincible guy who could handle everything you threw at him couldn't handle his feelings... :-o
I loved that a woman could make him totally loose his cool and second guess his view of certain things in life.
The two lovebirds were so good for each other!!!
And let's face it. In Olivia, Ian Carter met his match!!!
And because of that and because I loved them together, I want to hurt Ian really badly right now. HOW COULD HE?!?? *angry as fu** * :-/
To be honest - if I would think I could pull it off without getting hurt (or being punished) myself, I would have punched Ian for this stupid 4-letter-word!!! ... Or hurt him in lower regions... But as I'm not nearly badass enough for this, I thought of something slightly different, probably more cruel....
Yeah, I'm sure he's got his reasons, but whatever they are - they aren't good enough for the way he ended things with Olivia.
Talking about Olivia - in the beginning there was a short period where I wasn't really sure I liked her, but I grew to love her pretty fast.
Sometimes I thought 'why do you let him do this or that to you' or 'why don't you insist on an answer' but hey... That's between you and him and we all know how Ian can be... Furthermore - who hasn't done stupid things for love??? Right.
So there I was, waiting for the happy end - which I knew couldn't come because there'll be another book (hey, a girl can dream) and then BAM!!
Stupid bastard Ian Carter!!!! From all the things he could have said or done - all the possibilities to mess up - he had to choose this one and go 'all in'....
But I have to say (again) that I loved the writing and the plot, the dynamics between the main characters - especially the banter between them and 'annoying the almighty Ian Carter'. Also I liked Tamara as a character and that Karl visited them (and stole Ian's cookies).
I hated Olivia's supposedly best friend and flat mate. Really! What a terrible person!!!
And I hate the cliffhanger you left us with, dear R.J.
Really. I hate it with all my heart... Nearly as much as I hate Ian at this moment...for the love of God.... You can't leave us hanging like this!! :-o
And as you might already have noticed at the moment I hate Ian with all my heart. I'm pretty sure he has his reasons, but I can't think of one good enough reason to leave Olivia after everything like this...
Furthermore I hope - but am quite sure - that we'll get more of an insight into Ian's fascinating brain and that we'll get to enjoy some chapters out of his POV in his second book which I need to get my hands on as soon as possible....
That said I also wanna say thanks again for bringing this awesome family (with sometimes really stupid but always good looking guys) to life and can't wait to read more about them.
Oh and I almost forgot: even if I somehow fell more in love with him in spite of all - here is Ian's exceptionally cruel punishment for his last and totally stupid 4-letter-word.
A box of 50 (virtual) cookies for each Carter and every cookie loving friend of them, except for Ian. And these cookies are extremely delicious and taste absolutely divine but Ian wouldn't know because there's not one single cookie with his name on it. HAH! Take that E!!! :'D

I was given this book as an ARC for an honest review.
R J Sable writes the most compelling stories out. When you read her stories you become part of the story and enraptured with the characters. Boy o boy is the main character intriguing, domineering, complex but lovable all rolled into one. This story is slightly different from the rest of RJs books in that the leading lady doesn't have an underlying issue from her past. She needs to grow sexually as she has been in a hum drum relationship. Rude awakening when she meets Ian Carter who you just hate to love. What RJ has done is to build the story up to what you hope is a happy conclusion but oh no - there will be more because this story leaves you wanting more - far far far more. Way to go RJ. I'm looking forward to the next book. I hope to see more of Ian's POV and of course, the Carter tribe. Loved it! Well done RJ! X

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
First Ian has been the brother I have been waiting for, I love Karl and Craig but Ian is truly that complex man with so many secrets and a wall so thick that its begging to be torn down. For most of the first half of the book Ian and Olivia have a sex only relationship, Ian is extremely open about what he wants and doesn't want and I expected nothing less of this infuriating man. The turning point in the book for Ian was obvious to me, at this point he is able to connect with Olivia in a way that no one else can; let me say I was happy that Ian didn't shut Olivia out at this time but stepped up and opened up a part of himself to her, it wasn't a lot but enough for their relationship to go further. The ending OMG give the next freaking book right NOW! It wasn't a do or die suspenseful ending I was expecting but it still left me salivating for the next book. I sincerely hope for my sanity that we do not have to wait long for the next book, if you learned anything about Ian he does not make snap decisions like the one that was made and you just know the potential for an awesome conclusion is headed your way.

Upsetting
This book was very up.
How could run sable do that to her readers?
Ian was very harsh.
But we know he has a sensitive side why didn't they show it.
Now we have to wait 6 months for a continuation.
