Wow... I just finished this volume a few moments ago and my head is still spinning. I mean the chemistry that Reed and Nami have together is so amazing that it practically set my kindle on fire I mean it was scorching.
This series picks up where the previous series Sinful Desires series leaves off except this time we are with Reed Stirling instead of Piper. Reed is traveling Europe divorced trying to get over Piper and figure out what he wants to do with is life when he meets Nami Carr who happens to be a Princess trying to live her own life her own way for even a few short moments without having to do things the way her parents planned them. When Reed and Nami meet and get together their connection is immediate and Reed helps Nami to forget her duty to her country and just feel for a short amount of time until she is faced with the fact that she must leave him and has to go back to her country to her arranged marriage and rule her kingdom.
This is just the first volume and it is incredibly emotional and the two characters have such a strong connection and you feel every emotion like you are right there with them. You are really pulling for Reed and really want things to work out for him and when she leaves you are left hanging wondering where things are going to go hoping that in the next installment that he goes after her and something turns out positive for the two of them! M.S. Parker is a literary genius and I cannot wait to see what the remaining parts of the story unfold!

Another fantastic read from the great ms parker...i have never been disappointed with anything she has written...reeds story is going to be an epic one.
The story in this book is very well written and fast paced and you will find yourself wanting to read it in one sitting. The characters in this book are amazingly written and you cant help but fall in love with Reed, all over again as we meet him in singul desires, and Nami. The chemistry between them is sizzling hot and pours off the pages in droves.
In this book you will see Reed sleeping his way through Europe and trying to find himself and what he wants to do with his life other than what his parents want him to do, we will also meet Nami who is a princess trying to fit in like a normal human, she also is looking for what she could have if she was not a princess.
This first instalment has left me heartbroken and fearing the worst for my sexy Reed but i have my fingers crossed that the best is yet to come for him, absolutely cannot wait for book two.

There was just something about Reed from Sinful Desires that makes him lovable. I felt bad for Reed that his family controlled every aspect of his life, he lost Piper and Reed just had enough and left. Going to Europe to figure his life out, Reed never expected to meet Nami. The chemistry between Nami and Reed were off the charts scorching hot. Nami and Reed never thought they would feel more for each other but have but, it could. Ever last could it? I can't wait to see what happens next

Reed Stirling is back!!! After a disastrous marriage and then losing the woman he thought he loved to another, Reed took time off to find out just what he wanted out of life. Making his way across Europe he never thought he’d find the one woman who made him question everything and made him feel whole for the first time in his life. Has Reed finally found the one or will this exotic treasure slip through his fingers leaving him alone again?
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
We met Reed Stirling in Sinful Desires and found out that he had a lot of growing up to do. He was great to Piper but was too busy trying to please everyone else that he forgot what he wanted. In the end Reed walked away from his marriage, lost Piper and was left wondering what he really wanted out of life. So he decided to take a break from everything and everyone he knew and tour Europe. Reed has a strong alpha side to him but he also has a kind and caring side to him that his family doesn’t have. Reed knows what he doesn’t want but finding what he wants seems to be eluding him.
Nami Carr has spent her whole life knowing exactly what her future holds for her but that doesn’t mean she wanted it. Honour and duty is always put first and her wants or needs came a distance second. Nami is a head-strong confident woman on the outside but she doesn’t show her true self to many people. Her parents sent her on a European vacation as a graduation present before she goes home to prepare for her new position within her family business. What Nami didn’t expect was running into Reed Stirling or the things he makes her want and feel.
I fell in love with Reed’s character in the Sinful Desires series so when I heard Reed was coming back I had to read his book. Reed has always been one of those guys who tries to make everyone around him happy without regards for his own needs. He is so different from his family that their demands on him leave him realizing that he doesn’t know who he is or what he wants. Losing Piper made him wake up and realize that he can’t keep things going this way. Reed was sleeping his way through Europe trying to forget what he lost and the demands of his family. When he saw Nami in the dance club, she was meant to be just another night with another exotic woman in Europe. Nami wanted just one night to forget who she is and what is expected of her. What she didn’t plan on was Reed Stirling. When he asked her to dance she thought it was just one dance, one night and her secret would be kept safe.
Reed and Nami exploded on the dance floor and in the bedroom hooking me in wanting to see where M.S. Parker would take time them. The chemistry between these two have left me fanning myself. I was hoping Reed would finally find the woman who he could settle down with but Nami is Hiding a secret and like most secrets they have a way of coming out. Once Reed learns what Nami had kept from him, he’s left with the decision as to what to do next, fight for the woman he is falling for or walk away. This is an amazing start to the series and I look forward to seeing if Reed can find what he is looking for and if Nami can see what a great guy she has in front of her.

*Becca received this book in exchange for an honest review*
I really and truly enjoyed this book. It is the first installment of a new series, and I am definitely looking forward to the next episode.
After years of doing what others wanted, Reed Stirling escapes Philadelphia to do what he wants. The only problem is... he doesn't exactly know what he wants. In an attempt to forget the past and decide what he wants of his future, he goes on a European adventure. You would think this adventure would be about seeing the sights and self-discovery, but Reed is using it more as a chance to get drunk and sleep with as many women as he can.
Nami Carr is the future queen of her country. As a princess she's always done what her parents have asked of her and is always shadowed by security. After college, she goes on a European vacation. Soon enough she'll be marrying someone she doesn't know and giving up any semblance of her own life to rule her kingdom. Of course, her vacation isn't what she'd hoped for; her parents have given her a security detail and a strict schedule of activities.
Have you ever watched Roman Holiday? I'm a BIG Audrey Hepburn fan, and this story is very similar to the movie. It's even referenced in the book as a nod by the author. Unlike Roman Holiday however, this book is HOT. Reed and Nami’s chemistry is off the charts.
You may be wondering how these two meet. Nami escaped her guards and went to a nightclub. She wasn’t instantly drawn to Reed, but he was to her. When the guards locate her and start closing in, she runs off to Reed's hotel.
Nami’s guards aren't idiots and soon come to take her home. The story doesn't end there. Reed and Nami aren't finished. Reed works hard to find her and only then does their story truly begin.
Both of them have their own obligations at home, but while they may not admit it, they have found love and want to spend whatever time they can together. Reed is ready to walk away from his responsibilities, but can Nami do the same? She can't think of any other options, but Reed gives her freedom, and fun, and lets her be herself. Will she choose to give up her birthright and the throne? Will they find a way to make it work? I honestly don’t know how they can, but then again, it is a love story, and I really hope they have a happy ending.
This book does leave a nice cliffhanger at the end. While the book can be very steamy at points, it also leaves you in tears.

Reed Stirling honestly didn't know what to think of his life, for one he had just divorced his wife so that he could try and be with the girl he loved, however that plan blew up in his face as the girl he thinks he's in love with had met someone else and put everything into prospection for him. Second of all he has chosen to quit his job at his family's business and to go for a vacation around Europe in order to clear his head and to also get away from Piper. Thing's weren't exactly looking very good for him as even though he was sleeping around with a different women every night he hasn't exactly figured out what he wants to do and when he plans on going back home even though his parents want him back so that he can save their business nothing else.
Nami is a princess and ever since she has been born she has been raised into doing things that only her parents approve of, she has been given a trip of Europe from her parents as a graduation present but the catch was that she only do things that her parents approve of yet again. Nami isn't exactly happy about this arrangement but she knows that she must obey the rules as she is the eldest child who will rule their country some day. She knows that as soon she her trip is over she is to be married off to the guy that her parents have picked for her, she knows nothing about the guy and it hurts her a little as all she wants is to be able to live a normal life.
The last thing that either of Reed or Nami was expecting was to meet each other but thing's start to change as soon as they interact, Reed has no clue with what in the world is going on with Nami but he knows that the love that Piper told him about that he would feel one day for a women is what he felt now for Nami. However when it becomes of knowledge that her father has seen that she has been to a club which wasn't on the list approved by her parents she has to go straight back home, but she doesn't exactly want to leave Reed as she has never felt anything like what she does for him. Though she knows that she can't stay behind with him so she must make the decision to go back.
However after everything that has gone on between them will it be easy for Nami to leave Reed behind. Also what will happen when Reed finds out that she is a princess. Honestly this isn't like one of your every day romance books but it's a good read that you'll want to sit down with. I feel really sorry for Reed as even though he didn't exactly get Piper he ended up going against everything that his family have ever said and is now falling in love with a girl that he can't be with.

Wow! What a great story and with a twist that I have not seen before. Our heroine is a Princess, Princess Nami to be exact!! I just finished reading Volume One and I can tell you that it was intriguing, sexy and heartbreaking and you just want more immediately after you read the final sentence.
Reed Stirling is back and he has rejected his family’s plan of running the family business. He went to Europe to think and figure out what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. He was sleeping his way around Italy, no strings, one nighters only, but then he sees the beautiful Nami in a club. He has no idea that she is a Princess, but he is immediately attracted to her and she is different from the other women he has met.
Nami is off on her own quest, trying to enjoy a European vacation before she has to go back to her country to an arranged marriage and run the Empire that she has been groomed from birth to do. She has always been the epitome of the perfect lady, but for one night she wanted to do something fun that any girl her age would be able to do, and once she sees Reed, who she is was also attracted to, it was a fait accompli. But just one night is what she told Reed. That was a real switch for him since he was usually the one saying that to the woman!!!
Will she be able to leave Reed and go back to her country after the incredible sex they shared and the feelings they were starting to have for each other or disobey everything she was brought up to revere and stay with him. Will love and happiness be their fate together? I fell in love with Reed as well as Nami, such beautiful characters. Waiting with baited breathe to read the rest of this series. Thank you MS Parker for such a lovely story.

WOW! Just….WOW!!!! I wish I had 10 BARS!!!!
What a fantastic book!!!! I mean it is M.S. Parker so I pretty much knew it would be, but I was not expecting this!!! So emotional and after struggling with bad allergies adding more liquid to my sinuses wasn’t great but I couldn’t not read it!!! I mean….really? One of my top 10’s for 2015 for sure!!
Reed is a strange breed for me. He’s rich, has the correct social parents, good looking, charming and hates almost all of his life. He’s had everything he’s ever wanted and done everything too. He’s got the women he’s wanted and a few he didn’t. But he’s empty. Nothing feels right to him. He’s leaving everything behind……going on a big vacay in Europe to find himself. What he finds is certainly not what he’s expecting.
Nami is everything every other woman Reed has ever met is not. She’s more. So much more. More beautiful. More intellegent. More real. She’s also royalty. She is a princess. She has a duty to fulfill. However, for an entire day (and maybe a bit more) she is his and he has no clue who she is. This is all the better since she can be herself and she can know that someone did want her for herself. Not her title or money or to one day have a king as a son. For her. But she’s going to have to give him up. It can’t work, right? I mean she has a kingdom to run.
OMG! Just typing that makes me want to read it again!!! I am dying because as soon as I finished this book I bought the 2nd one!!! That doesn’t sound like a shock but as a blogger we get advanced copies and therefore we wait for the next book. Not in this case……I couldn’t wait!!!! So yes - I’ve read book 2 and it’s amazing too!!!! Except the end - the cliffhanger has killed me!!! As good as book 1 is OMG!!! book 2!!!!!! Amazing!!!!!!
Very highly recommend!!!!

He’s got the women he’s wanted and a few he didn’t. But he’s empty. Nothing feels right to him. He’s leaving everything behind……going on a big vacay in Europe to find himself. What he finds is certainly not what he’s expecting.
Nami is everything every other woman Reed has ever met is not. She’s more. So much more. More beautiful. More intellegent. More real. She’s also royalty. She is a princess. She has a duty to fulfill. However, for an entire day (and maybe a bit more) she is his and he has no clue who she is. This is all the better since she can be herself and she can know that someone did want her for herself. Not her title or money or to one day have a king as a son. For her. But she’s going to have to give him up. It can’t work, right? I mean she has a kingdom to run.
OMG! Just typing that makes me want to read it again!!! I am dying because as soon as I finished this book I bought the 2nd one!!! That doesn’t sound like a shock but as a blogger we get advanced copies and therefore we wait for the next book. Not in this case……I couldn’t wait!!!! So yes - I’ve read book 2 and it’s amazing too!!!! Except the end - the cliffhanger has killed me!!! As good as book 1 is OMG!!! book 2!!!!!! Amazing!!!!!!
Very highly recommend!!!!

Another steamy serial series in the mix for this author !! I didn't even read the synop , I sign on for her stuff without even knowing !! So about 5 minutes into the book and I was like oh crap its REED !!!!! I was thrilled to see what he has been up to and he is definitely taking some time for himself and enjoying the fruits of another country !!
Reed seriously needed a break , OMG the forced marriage , the divorce the pressure from his parents. It was all too much. So for months he has been in France living it up and trying to recover some of himself. His sexual events are panty melting and fun to read but of course his latest conquest turns out to be so much more than that. Poor Reed , will he end up with the girl or will he lose the one who finally made him realize what love is.
Nami Carr is trying to enjoy her graduation gift from her parents. Of course the bodyguards and strict rules leave much to be desired. During college nami found a way to lose the guards and much more so why not do the same in France !! Off to a club on her own Nami is feeling free, little does she know a chance encounter may just change her life. Can Nami have her HEA or will her family life win out ??
Nami and Reed are amazing. Their connection is so real and I was so hooked on their every interaction. I feel for them both , always living up to someone else standards and expectations. They both deserve this freedom and this new found romance. Sadly because of who Nami is we know it won't last. They give it their all and soak up every single second they have but it just isn't enough. I cannot wait to see what happens next and I really love these two together.

Reed Stirling is sleeping his way across Europe trying to forget the mess that his life has become.
He walked away from a marriage arranged by his parents for the woman he loved and ended up losing her as well.
Now he's on a mission to forget her, to forget his family's expectations of him and just worry about himself and his next bed buddy.
Then he meets Nami. He has no clue who she is or why she runs from him, he does know he's attracted to her instantly in a way he's not familiar with, he finds himself wanting more than one night with her.
Nami has a secret, she's a princess and is expected home to marry a man she doesn't know, arranged by her parents and she has no choice in the matter. That is as long as her parents and the man believe she's untouched.
Nami was fine with what was expected of her, for the most part anyway. Shes known all her life this was how things worked in her family and she doesn't want to put the burden on her sister so she's accepted this is her last hurrah.
But after one night with Reed she's questioning how her life will be with this unknown man after what she's experienced with Reed.
Volume 1 whets your appetite for Reed's next adventure! Can he get it right or is Nami just another stop on his world tour?

I received this in exchange for an honest review!!
M.S. Parker is a phenomenal writer. I have yet to read one that I have not enjoyed. Exotic Desires picks up where Sinful Desires leaves off telling Reed's story. He has decided to travel Europe to figure out where to go next in his life after walking away from Piper, divorcing his wife, and leaving the family business. Enter Nami Carr who is a Princess and on vacation herself for the first time. When they meet the chemistry is undeniable. They have this connection they both want to further explore but will they get the chance to? Reed makes Nami forget what is waiting for her at home when she returns.. makes her forget the responsibility she will have to bare the plans her parents have laid out for her.
Will she be able to make things work with Reed or will this be a one night and to never see each other again. Will Reed make her question all that she has known her entire life? Will she be able to help him choose the direction he wants to go?
This is the first of the series and I cannot wait to see what happens in the rest of them and see where they go from here or if their time together is over.

M.S. Parker pens a fabulous book; her writing is superb, the characters are exciting and intelligent. Mari the Princess and Reed the wealthy businessman/playboy. A chance meeting brings them together for a night of sex and memories for Mari, who is destined to be married off to a man of her parents choosing.
Their relationship felt right, they fit together so well, but fate was to keep them apart.
One of my favorite quotes from this book, "I couldn't breathe. My heart was pounding, my blood roaring in my ears. All of that, however, was secondary to her. Every place our bodies touched, my skin hummed. I was more aware of her than I'd ever been of anyone else in my life. I rolled us onto our side without pulling out of her. I wanted to stay as close to her as possible, keep us joined until I had no choice but to let her go."
From Nami, "He didn't mean for us to run away together. Not like that. Besides, I couldn't do it, couldn't leave my family. But...I realized what he meant. A little detour before going home. A chance to have what I'd wanted, at least a single day of freedom."
Excellent writing and another great start to a wonderful series by M.S. Parker.

For want of sounding like I am repeating myself I can't stress how much I love M.S. Parker's book! And this did not disappoint yet again. I feel I say that about every book I have read but it is the truth I don't think there one yet I haven't enjoyed!
So I was thrilled to see there was a spin off of Reeds story, as after meeting him briefly in Sinful Desires I wanted to know about him and his story.
Reed is in Europe and basically in every woman's pants at the same time. He is deifying his family by being away from the family business and trying to forget about Piper. He has a love or rather sleep and leave them attitude until he meets Nami. She is different from the other woman he has been with and he cant stop thinking about her.
Nami Carr is a Princess - and she is trying to live life the fullest before she has to return to her home and be forced into an arrange marriage.
The chemistry between them is hot hot hot, can they make it work between them or must they go their separate ways? I can not wait for the next installment!!

April 16, 201510+ stars in my book. This is going to be the best series M.S. Parker has written so far. This is a emotional read. The hot sexy Reed is tired of his parents dictating his life and telling him what to do so he leaves the family business and his parents behind and goes on a European vacation to try to figure out what he wants and find himself. He ends up meeting the beautiful Nami. What he thinks will be just a one night stand turns into some deep feeling between the two. But what he does not expect is nothing can come of the two together because she is a princess and soon to be the Queen of her island. After one last night together before she goes back to her island will the go there separate ways or will Nami go back to her island and marry the man her parents arranged for her or will she find her way back to Reed? Thanks again M.S. Parker for another wonderful read and thanks for this book being longer and including more chapters then most of your books! I do love longer books!

The beginning of another HOT series by M.S. Parker!! This story is about Reed and Nami head spinning encounter! He's a rich guy who doesn't want to take over his family business and is off spending money and sleeping around. Nami is a princess who is smitten with Reed from the time she meets him and wants to experience "normal" life with him, for the short amount of time she has before she must return to her country. Such a good book, with hot and steamy scenes! There is a cliffhanger. Looking forward to reading Vol. 2 and hoping Reed and Nami will somehow get back together for a happy ever after!

Reed leaves the states and heads to Europe to clear his head of his family company responsibilities and Piper.

Nami is on her own little getaway. She is trying to see how "normal" people live and enjoy herself before she needs to go back home and fulfill her role to her family. Nami has no choice, she has to go back home and she is hoping that she can have fun with Reed and then walk away. Will Reed get his HEA? Will Nami get hers?

Poor Reed and his sad love life. First he has a pre-arranged marriage, then divorce, then refused by Piper and now he's aimless. Traveling Europe and sleeping with anything in a skirt he meets Nami. Coming from similar families and whacked out parents they click. But is clicking enough? The connection between these two is palpable and honest. This is a new series based on Reed Stirling from Sinful Desires, not necessary to read it to enjoy. My copy was given for my honest review.
April 15, 2015
Reed from Sinful Desires is back and this time he is in Europe, trying to figure out what he wants from life after leaving the family business, becoming a divorced and losing the one girl he thought he loved. That is until he meets Nami, she is unlike any girl he has ever met even more than Piper. But Nami is something else and she knows she can't be with Reed but she wants fun and Reed is just the man she wants.
Actually felt sorry for Reed I now want him to get a HEA, if not I will be it

To find out continue reading m.s. parker's exotic desire series. I know I will.

Reed Stiring was not my favourite person in The Sinful Desires Series. Although towards the end, I understood the pressure he was under.
Now however, my heart is bleeding for him and poor Nami. Don't know how M.S.Parker is going to fix this. I can feel their heartache hitting me like a Tsunami!!! Will I survive this latest series with my emotions in tact? All I do know is this is the start of a fantastic series by an amazing author!
