This is M. Eror’s debut novel and what a read it was. For me I connected instantly with her writing style and thoroughly enjoyed the development between the characters. I found parts of the story for me to be laughing out loud with characters. I also felt every emotion along with characters and was behind their relationship throughout.

I found this story really easy to read and this book for me is a 5 star read. I cant wait to read more from the author.

4 Pure Fantasy Stars!!

Pure Fantasy is the debut book by M Eror and I have to say great job!!



Lana was happy and content running her shoe show. She never even gave a second thought to a man until David walked into her small store. Little does she know that David is about to change her life for the better.

This story did take a little while for it to draw me in but once it picked up I didn't want to put down my kindle until I finished. I would have loved to know a little more of Lana and David's backgrounds. I felted that the information we were given was a little rushed through. I'm hoping there will be another Lana and David book.

So if you are looking for a quick HOT contemporary romantic read then you MUST read Pure Fantasy.

Pure Fantasy my honest review -no spoilers
This is the story about Lana, she is on one adventure new city, running her own business, and above that she has stopped dating ... Period!
This book had me intrigued as Lana works a hot guy comes in all arrogant that captures her attention.
She can't seem to forget him the story from that moment had a fast pace but kept me wondering what's truly lana's story. Which took quite some time to finally reveal its self.
Sadly I couldn't connect with the character but don't get me wrong shes great I just couldn't bond with Lana from the beginning I felt I was always missing something.
David was great I do like a arrogant main who takes what he wants.
His and lana's relationship was bitter sweet.

It was a good read wish it was longer well worth the 3.5 stars
As I've read we are getting book #2 soon.
This book might open up more and liberate on a lot from this book.
Great start for this author and looking forward to the next instalment.
Recommend this debut book.

Gifted copy.

REVIEW

*May contain spoilers *

New to me author.

The story starts slow at first but it gets much better. Lana does not want a relationship but when David starts pursuing her all thoughts may be off the table for her. We do not really learn why she does not want one until much closer to the end of the book. Lana has a plan for her life and it never included a man. The story is good but felt a bit off to me and there are missing words etc. The characters are intense. There is a very steamy romance once it begins.

I was gifted a copy of this book for my honest review.

MUST READ!!! Trust me once you get past the first few pages, you can't get enough, I know once I reached the end I didn't know how I felt speechless was one, the other I didn't know to be mad at the main characters or jumping for joy. Never even heard of this story before I took my chances to read this and I'm happy I did, after the author told me she was sorry over and over again before I read it about the book being transferred into English, I got past that read quick when I couldn't put the story done at all for anything. This romance story is full of hott, steamy romance that makes you red faced and blush like nothing before.

Lana is starting her life over and her new plan, does not include a man. That is until David walks into her shoe store. She feels a strong attraction to him even though he acts like a total jerk to her. She has never reacted to man in this way and can not stop thinking of him. Her close friend Sara suggests that she takes a class in aikido. David is the owner of the aikido club she joins. Will she be able to keep her feelings at bay or will she act on them?

This is the first book I have read by M Error. I enjoyed this story and you could not help but fall in love with these characters. The ending of this story was incredible. I will be reading more from M Error in the future.

This was my first book by author M. Eror and I will be honest I completely struggled with it. I had to keep leaving it and coming back to it as I found it really hard going!

I found the book quite disjointed. Some parts where described in depth and most of the time they were the parts that didn't matter and then the parts that did matter felt rushed.

To me it didn't flow and I was very disappointed in this story as there was a lot of potential in this story

Everyone has a parts of their past they'd like to forget in an effort to forget her past, heal, and move forward in the future shopkeeper, Lana, has stayed away from men. When an arrogant customer peeks her body's interest she makes every effort to avoid the man to keep herself safe, but fate has other plans and keeps placing David in her path until their chemistry can no longer be denied. With a battered past can Lana find a way to heal with a man by her side and find love?

First of this book was definitely tamer than most books I read but it's still a sweet story.
Although it's not really noticeable or distracting there are a couple of times where I think the author's meaning kind of got lost in translation- not frustrating at all but there's a time or two that I was a little confused and had guess what the author was trying to convey. Still most of the book was smooth, sometimes smoother than books written by native English speakers- which I see as a testimony to a good story and a decent translator.
A couple of points in the story seemed outlandish even for a small town. I know some families are large but to happen to have two best friends who are related to the main love interest? Not only that they were related but that the main character had no idea her best friends are related to him? That was a little odd for me. Also when it related to the family there were times there was a build up about the family but then the story simply glazed over those parts which was a little confusing but not bad at all.
The only truly negative thing I could say about Pure Fantasy is there was definitely points where the story slowed down to a crawl then either immediately slammed into a fast paced or did sort a time jump where it was days or weeks later. Personally I'm not a big fan of time jumps (for a lack of a better term) in stories so I didn't really enjoy those parts.
All in all, it was definitely worth a read on a rainy day or a relaxing weekend and a sweet debut novel, I would be interested in reading more of M. Eror's books in the future.

[Jazmyne [Ramblings of a Bookworm] · Rating 3 out of 5]

The beginning of this book is a dream. Lana is dreaming of her past, which tinges her anxiety of the future. You don’t know everything at first, but you get a hint that her past is an unpleasant one that is keeping her from living life to its fullest.

Meeting David was an accident, happening at the shoe store Lana owns. She is hesitant around him, around everyone really, and although the attraction is there it isn’t certain anything will come of it. As the story unfolds, David keeps appearing and finally the two give in to their attraction.

There’s a lot to be said for the storyline of this book. It addresses an issue faced by many women throughout the world, and does so in a positive way. It also presents interesting characters who have true flaws and must learn how to live with those flaws and how they affect others. The story gives some twists and turns as it continues, and you begin to learn some of the secrets and intricacies created amongst the characters and plot.

That being said, there were a few things that I didn’t enjoy. Parts of the story seem drawn out. For me, it seemed the parts I was least interested in often lasted the longest. This is the author’s choice, and I support that, but for me it didn’t work. Another issue for me was the language. It wasn’t inappropriate or foul language at all! I felt that some of the dialogue and sentence structure didn’t flow as easily for me, as it has with other novels. Some of the dialogue felt a little cheesy, and I couldn’t imagine someone really saying some of the lines and being taken seriously. Again, this is simply a choice by the author and probably a difference in our colloquial, and personal, word choices.

Overall a good story. If you like romance, caring men, and crazy families, you will mostly likely enjoy this story.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Reviewing for Crystal's Crazy Book Ramblings.

In all honesty, I liked the plot of the story, but I struggled with this book. I think the storyline had a lot of potential, however felt there were gaps in the story and some questions that were left unanswered. Some of the characters' reactions to situations seemed a bit over exaggerated and did not make sense to me. Some situations that needed further explaining were glossed over at times making he story seem rushed.

Initially I think I liked David better than Lana did. He seemed sweet and put up with quite a bit of rudeness from Lana. I would have loved to have some chapters written from his POV to better understand his attraction to Lana. I loved the fact that once he learned about her past, he decided to take on a challenge that would help women who are currently in the same situation she had been in previously.

We know from the beginning of the story that something has happened in Lana's past that has caused her to swear off men. I felt her initial reaction to David is a bit extreme, even from someone with a damaged past. I think I had a bit more sensitivity towards Lana when her story was finally revealed towards the end of the book. She did have moments of sweetness and once she made up her mind to give David a chance, she was all in for being with him.

The story line was interesting enough to keep me reading, and I was very happy that David and Lana finally got to a point where I could see a HEA in their future.
Although I struggled with this book, I wouldn't be opposed to giving another book by this author a chance. I feel there is potential in her writing.

I give Pure Fantasy 2.5 stars.

Lana Jonovic is a girl that knows hardship and it has given her one rule that really sticks. NO MEN! That mind set has brought her comfort and kept her moving through her life but What happens when a customer comes into her shop and changes all that? Oh, she still wants the no men rule but her body is betraying her terribly. She wants this man. But he is arrogant and cocky and self assured. at least thats what she thinks.

David Mandic is a man that uses women just as they use him. But the stunning Lana steals his breath before he even knows what happens. His club is one of the best around and her generally only trains with the advanced group but when his cousin Sara convinces Lana to go to the club and try out training he is around so much.

When they decide- well when she throws caution to the wind and finally lets herself have what she wants, their relationship progresses in the most natural of ways. But when a surprise from his past throws everything out the door.. What happens? Does he win her back? will they get their Happily every after?

This is a first from M. Eror for me and I am so thrilled I read it. With a fast paced novel like this it can be easily pushed aside but the difference between this and other of its fast paced nature. The characters are so real. You all know someone like Lana, scared insecure, just trying to make it. We all also know someone like David! He is a closet sweetheart and can be arrogant but hey, he's a guy.

M. Eror is now on my radar and I can't wait to read more!!

[Amber at WickedGoodReads · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pure Fantasy is (I believe) the debut novel for M. Eror and therefore, the first book I have read by this author - really even the first time I have even heard of this author.
Characters and Story - Lana is a shoe store owner and an independent woman. She has decided that she doesnt need a man in her life to complicate things and she is moving onward and upward.
David - walks into Lana's store and upsets her apple cart, so to speak. He is everything she never knew she wanted. Brave and persistent, the two of them finally give in to their overwhelming attraction to each other. And the sparks instantly fly!
This was a very good story, the premise behind it was solid. The characters were relatable and developed and the story had a good feel and flow to it. Some of the wording was a little hard for me to understand though. The author had contacted me prior to the read/review and explained that English was not their primary language which leads me to wonder if maybe this book has been translated and some of the wording had been lost in the translating? IDK. It wasnt as if this had much of an effect on the story, because it really didnt. The love story was clearly there and easy to see. Lana and David falling in love would be the same in any language, not just English.
I think Pure Fantasy was a wonderful debut novel for M. Eror who has real talent and I give it 4**** WickedGood Stars!

[IrishdaisylovesRomance · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the first book I have read by M. Eror and I really really enjoyed it. The writing style was a little different to what I have read before in other romance reads, but it was a good different. Lana has sworn off all men, especially arrogant men who just want to add another notch to their bed posts!! David the hot guy who is trying to persue Lana and just happens to own the Aikido Club that Lana joins, is like a spanner thrown into the works which makes for a very interesting read!!! This novel had it all and I loved it, you will laugh out loud at parts of it and you will definitely feel the emotions of the main characters.

[Kat Loves · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pure Fantasy is a lovely story about Lana and how she learns to del with her past. But her past is not something we are made awar of until near the end of the book. I think this really added to the mystery of the story as you felt like you needed to try and guess what she was running from.

Lana has a plan and her plan does not include men! Well that is till David comes along and manages to invade her heart.

Their relationship really blossoms after a slow start and eventually they do get the happily ever after, well I hope so anyway, and it is a muched deserved ending for Lana.

I did feel that maybe there was a slight language barrier in the writing of this book, but once I adapted to it I found I ran with the story and absolutely fell inlove with the characters.

[Angie Harvey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pure fantasy overall is a great book! I really enjoyed the plot and the characters in this book. M. Eror had great character development; Throughout the whole novel I felt like I really understood the customer and everything flowed so well. Lana is such an inspiring character and I love when I read about a character who has overcome so much! And David, he's so whitty and was ready to not give up. Both of them were really great and so thought out. And the plot, it totally sucks you in. From the moment Lana meets David you can't help but wonder what comes next.

Some of the writing isn't the best I've read, but the plot and characters were amazing!! Congrats on your first book!!

[Jennifer Pierson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lana is starting her life over again in a new city. She has started her own business, and vows to not date anyone. The day that David walks in her store changes everything. No matter how hard she tries, she can't seem to stay away from him because of the powerful pull she feels. Pure Fantasy is a quick and sexy read. It did take me a bit to get into it, but once I did, I enjoyed the story, and wanted more. The character development is good, with a very entertaining cast of secondaries. M. Eror has an easy writing style that became addicting. The ending seemed just a tad rushed, but I'm excited to see more of her work in the future!

Lana and David

This is a perfect sorry about love,trust and having a relationship. The ups and downs of starting a new relationship and trying to keep it on the right path. It also shows that you must be able to talk to each other. Lana is self standing. She has her own shop and is fine with her life. When David comes into her life she tries her best to steer clear but as no such luck. She doesn't want a man but her bodies reaction to him, makes her want him so much.

Perfect love story with a exceptional storyline.

Overall I liked this book. It did take awhile to get into it as it starts off slow, however there was a point where it picked up and held my attention. This was the first book by M. Eror I have read and would read another. Lana has sworn off me, that is until David. I really did not like David but others may. He really just hit me wrong. Lana is dedicated to work and fitness, and seems all wrong for David. This is a case of opposites attracting and it is explosive.

Received a copy. This book starts off with a little mystery. Lana and David are very interesting. Lana is strong and driven. Her past is what makes her who she is in the present time. David is a surprise and Lana is pulled to him. The mystery continues throughout the book until the very end. How will the story unfold and will you understand the past to figure out if Lana and David has Pure Fantasy?

This is a very good read. I loved reading about Lana & David. MEror keeps Lanas secret until the end of the book which make it a little more exciting for me.

~~Includes Spoilers!~~

The first thing I realized when I started reading the book was that the author writes differently than what I am used to. Some words were not words typically used in American English and it took a chapter or so for me to get used to the different terms used for things. The story was immaculately written but I feel like there’s much about the main character (Lana) that I don’t know. She reminds me of myself at one point in my life, but like her everything I had told myself went out the window when I met a certain person who is now my husband. Things don’t always go the way we plan them. This story touches on many emotions that many women feel at some point in their life, but Lana’s situation is a dream come true.
Lana is a young woman 3who has just started her own business. She sells authentic Italian shoes and one day, a particularly arrogant customer catches her off guard. She definitely finds him attractive and manages herself as professionally as possible. An annoying lady enters the store and goes on and on about a pair of shoes that she has fallen in love with and continues to call them “pure fantasy”. Mr. arrogant and another customer thought the situation was quite hilarious and could barely stifle their humor. After more grief from Mr. Arrogant, the day finally ends for poor Lana and she finds herself talking to her friend and fellow business owner. Lana ends up running into Mr. Arrogant again after starting a self-defense class, which is ends up being the owner of. Lana further discovers that he’s related to both of her friends. She just can’t seem to escape this guy! She finally gives in and they start dating. It seems as though David may not be the best at relationships, but he does try to make things work the best way he knows how. He tries abstaining from sex, which upsets Lana. They patch things up. Then he does something incredibly stupid that looks bad from all angles. The book ends happily, which was what the reader would want. I feel like there’s more to the story though!
I also felt that the story skipped some things and I was left wondering what happened in between the time that was apparently missing from the story, but it made sense after I continued to read. I believe this is the authors’ style and there is nothing wrong with it. I can see how others could become confused and disinterested in the story though. As I stated in the beginning of my review, I also believe that some of the background story is missing because I feel like the reader doesn’t get to know the characters enough. Some of the characters feel thrown into the story. Overall, the writing was exceptional, the story line was splendid, and the story flowed well for what information is given. I would love to see more work with these characters and I would definitely read more work from M. Eror!

Overall, I thought the story was enjoyable. The plot was different and had some unique twist to it. Some I could figure out quite easy while others it took me a little longer. I felt that the plot and twists were not executed well and had many holes throughout. In my opinion the story did not flow consistently. There were parts of the story that were slow and drawn out while other parts of the story were fast and seemed too short. The timeline to the story appeared to be a little jumpy throughout. The writing style was different and sometimes I felt that there were scenes thrown in that had nothing to add to the story.

The characters were likeable in their own way. Lana went through some bad times which caused her to want to live her life without a man. She did very well for herself in keeping with that until David walked into her store. There was instant connection between the two in which the author did very well in achieving and maintaining the connection throughout the whole book. She seemed to have fallen under David’s “spell” a little too quickly, in my opinion, for someone that was determined to live without a man. Lana was strong and determined yet at times you could see she was like any other normal person; there is an emotional weak side in her too. She tries to be strong all the time yet she lets her emotions also guide her.

David was a romantic at heart although he could appear to be overbearing which was his way of being over protective. My first impression of David was that he was a typical rude arrogant rich guy. However, when you see how protective he is of Lana and that he wants to keep her from harm (realizing that she had a bad past), you end up liking him. Not to say at times you don’t want to smack him for being ridiculous and at the same time want to hug him for his caring and sweet romantic side.

At the end of the book you find out more about Lana’s past which leads to some of the mystery of what happened to make her swear off men. I would have liked to know a little more about the men and not so much on the step-dad portion of her past though. At the end, I was wondering what happened to Lana’s mom. Did the step dad live or die? If he died why didn’t Lana and her mom reconnect somehow? (Maybe they did and I just missed it through the story.)

I think that the author has great potential. I will be reading more from this author.

When I first heard about Pure Fantasy I was very interested to see what this story had in store so when I got the chance to read this book early I was read It as soon as I possibly could. I very much enjoyed Pure Fantasy.

In this book we mainly followed Lana and I found her so interesting, when we met her she is starting over somewhere new, making new friends , starting a new business essentially carving it out a new life for her self. When we get into more backstory about her past you completely understand why she is the way she is and why she wants to live her life without a man but this begins to change when she meets Daniel. At first Daniel comes off really mysterious and let me tell you all when Lana chooses the nick name Mr .Arrogant for him she is not far off lol but as things begin to change between them and they give into the mutual attraction that is brewing between them we get to see them fall in love, things were not all all rainbows for these two, there were moments where I was worried If they were going to get there happy ending with each other but all my worrying was in vain because no matter how they fought or what difficulties they had they found there way back to each other and that was such a beautiful thing to see .Between the characters , the sexy romance and the plot that kept me turning the pages needing to know what would happen next M.Eror has combined this all to create this captivating story.

Pure Fantasy was a sexy , fun , heartwarming story with a happily ever after ending that left me with a smile on my face . I am very interested to see what M.Eror will write next if you love all these things in your stories I suggest you get a copy

This is the first book I've read by M.Eror and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed this story. M.Eror has given us a story with strong characters that will suck you in and keep you there from start to finish and will leave you wanting more from this author. this story has a bit of a mystery in it ,because no one finds out why Lana is running from her past until near the end,but the way the author wrote it into the story made it more interesting . M. Eror has written a funny ,exciting, and captivating steamy romance story. This is David's and Lana's love story. Lana has left everything she knew for a new life ,new job,and new city ,but the most important thing with this new start is she doesn't want a man in her life. She opens a shoe store and has meet a new friend called Sara who has the shop next to her. But the one thing Lana doesn't do is talk about herself with any body,but her new friend Sara has some new ideas about Lana not dating and tries to set her up. But when one day a dark and handsome stranger walks into her store for a new pair of shoes and "BOOM" instant a attraction ,but she doesn't understand this reaction ever happened to her before now. But David has the same feels going through him also ,but he realizes he most take it easy and slow if he is ever going to have her in his life. He senses that she's been hurt by someone in her past. David has questions he would like to ask ,but Lana he knows won't be willing to answer them yet. I could go on and tell you more about this touching story ,but that would spoil it for you. I highly recommend that you read this story ,you won't be disappointed.

[Kathy Rouchelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Let me start out by saying that i did like this book and I think it has the potential to be a really, really great read. The back story to this book is one that is so familiar to oh so many women and the ending result here is so much better than it is for many women around the world. I liked the characters, I especially liked Sara..she made me laugh. I have nothing bad to say about the characters or the story line. I did have a little problem with how the story jumped in time. I felt like there were a couple of scenes that could have played out rather than jumping to another scene. I didn't care for how the ..uh..(don't want to put any spoilers here so bare with me), confrontation between David and Lana at the farmhouse played out. I thought their conversation would have been inserted here and we would have been in the room to hear what he had to tell her and how she reacted to his revelation regarding Mila. I would have loved to have been taken through the steps of his discovery of the "photograph".

I do however, think that this is a very sweet story with a strong backstory. I do feel that it does show the strength that Lana had in turning her situation around, standing on her two feet and making a life for herself, and even finding that not all men are evil. I even think she was much stronger than she gave herself credit for. She is a hero.
