One night. An agreement. The obsession that ensues . . .
Paige
He told me he only wanted sex with me. I’ve agreed to his terms. Elijah will be my first lover—I’ll let him have my virginity. But I won’t give him anything other than that.
Elijah
She was supposed to be one of many. My greatest conquest yet. But she’s in my blood now. Inside my fucking soul. It won’t end at just the sex with us. I won’t let it.

"You could slice me up, piece by piece, until there's nothing left in me, and I'd still come back to you for more."
The blurb did not pique my interest at all. I try to stay away from books with the whole friends with benefits and anti-commitment plots. It is just not my thing. However when the author asked if I wanted a copy of the book I didn't hesitate and said yes. I'm happy I made that decision because I made a promise to myself that I would broaden my reading horizon and try to give plots/tropes/genres that I normally stay away from a chance. This book proved that I shouldn't always judge a book by it's synopsis and also give books I normally wouldn't read a chance.
Loveless is about the co-workers Paige and Elijah. Elijah is your typical, too -sexy-for-his-own-good manwhore. Paige is the 23 year old virgin who wants to get rid of her virginity but wants to at least feel some connection/attraction to the guy she wants to give it up to. Oh man there was so much sexual tension between these two. My kindle was on FIRE!! Paige just can't resist Elijah and they agree on being friend with benefits for a very short time. Paige just wants to lose her virginity and go on with her life. Elijah is all up for this because he doesn't do relationships. It sounded like the best deal for both of them, but I was really surprised about the person who caught feelings first.
I think what I really liked about this book was that the characters knew each other and that it didn't start from the beginning when they first met. Sometimes I just want to start from the middle of the book because then it really becomes interesting. Because the main character Paige was stuck-up and playing like she wan't interested, and I just can't such females so I was glad I didn't have to read about that. From the moment I started reading the characters were all over each other. Their chemistry was off the chain. There was two times Paige assumed something and that pissed me off. I can't stand for characters to right off the bat assume something and not ask for an explanation. That is how you ruin a relationship! Also I want to mention that the dirty talking in this book was super hot! Elijah really knows how to talk! Also I wish there was an epilogue. I am just a sucker for them and I really wanted to know where Paige and Elijah would end up in five or ten years down the road.

Loveless starts with a boom. Hot and steamy right off the bat. I was hooked on the story of Paige and Elijah, co-workers in agreement of sex. Right from the start, the attraction between Paige and Elijah was electric.
While they think it’s only sex, their feelings for each other couldn’t be stopped. While Paige agreed to only losing her virginity to Elijah, Elijah couldn’t get enough of Paige. While the agreement was only sex, Elijah couldn’t let go of Paige. Paige fought hard to not let her feelings grow for Elijah, while Elijah pushed back to have more. Once a manwhore, was no longer in the game to play. Elijah wanted more from Paige, to be her man more than anything. As they push and pull towards and further from each other, the feelings just got stronger. Will these two give love a chance? Or is it over before it even started? Read and find out.
I really enjoyed this book, not only did it keep me up reading late at night, I was totally hooked on the story. Paige and Elijah were smoking hot together and had so many sexy times together. This book is full joy and entertainment. I cannot wait to read N. Isabella Blanco’s next book, she never disappoints.
How I missed this author’s style! I became addicted after a few episodes of her serials because her narrative is like sweet poison. You just need the antidote to survive it and that’s more of it! :-D The couples she creates are strong-willed and never more than when they cross paths and are forever linked by unstoppable lust and need.
This story is quite catchy. Paige is trying to escape from a limited lifestyle and widen her experiences. Elijah is the perfect candidate. A gorgeous man who never commits is the ideal teacher to initiate her in affairs of the flesh with no pesky attachments. They both seem content with that.
OMG, the onslaught of passion is so strong, so powerful, and so insanely hot that they can’t stop gravitating towards each other’s arms. I loved that intensity the author weaved into the scenes when Paige is pleasured by him in new ways to her, and he responds to her innocent and eager openness to sensuality with a craving he’s never felt before. You’ll need to squirm and open windows all around you to get some fresh air to cool you down ;-)
I enjoyed immensely the struggle Page and Eli have between trust and pain. She can’t overcome her past and he’s desperate to prove he’s more than the product of his own playboy past. That emotional fight gave an edge to all the volcanic heat of their passionate encounters. They stormy romance ends with all the strong emotions I like, leaving me with a tired smile and a craving for more. Maybe Sophia is next?
This is my first book from this author and it won't be my last. I was hooked right off the bat with Elijah & Paige. Their chemistry is threw the roof. All Elijah wants is Paige but when she lets him know she is a virgin it stops him in his track. He can't believe someone as stunning and sexy as she is that she is a virgin but that doesn't stop Eli from wanting her. With both having had a bad past with a relationship but don't want to get hurt, but you can't stop what the heart wants. I really loved this book, I love the interaction with Eli & Sophie his BFF, their bickering cracked me up. Amazing story that will have u turning the page to see what will happen.

This book is HOT! I mean bring a few pairs of panties along for the ride because you will need them. I devoured this book in only a matter of 2 hours. I was hooked from page one and could not stop reading. The chemistry between Paige and Elijah is off the charts. Paige is a virgin and ready to give it up but that is all she wants is sex. Elijah doesnt do sex but when Paige confesses that she is a virgin it stops him in his tracks. Both of them have been hurt from past relationships and agree that all they want from one another is between the sheets. but what happens when the lines become blurred and one of them wants more? I absolutely loved Elijah's best friend Sophie. The interaction between the two had me laughing time and time again.
*I received this book in exchange of an honest review* Sweet, sexy, full of angst and emotions, it is impossible to resist Elijah and Paige!!!! Well written with a touching style that allows you to feel every single flutter made by the characters, you will be hooked and addicted from the first pages! "Loveless" is somehow based on the saying "opposites attracts"... But when said "opposites" are made from the same cloth and with the same wounds, it actually becomes much more than an attraction!!!! Funny and witty at times, interesting and engaging thanks to a good storyline and a bouncing but exciting flow, "Loveless" is a wonderful read!!!!! I can't stop wondering though, about Sophie and her Martin connection? Are we going to be blessed with an electric sequel? I really hope so! I am looking forward to read more work from this author, as she enchanted me with this cute, playful and sizzling book!!! With two big thumbs high in the air i strongly recommend it to all bad boy/alpha male/ playboy turned sweetheart contemporary romance readers!!!!!!!
I loved this story so much! Eli and Paige have an agreement: Paige is a virgin and she will have sex with Eli, only sex and then they go their separate ways. They work together tho so it might be a bit uncomfortable but still they are set on the agreement. But nothing goes ever according to plan and Eli and Paige form a friendship first, then feelings start to develop. I love Paige. She knows what she wants and she goes for it. She is strong and intelligent and fun. Eli is easy to love to, no matter how stubborn he can be. The only I am so totally in love with is Sophie. I have a girl crush. She is Eli's best friend and she's totally crazy and badass. I really hope Sophie will get her story.

N. Isabelle Blanco writes extremely sexy and intense reads. Loveless is no exception. This one starts with a spark that quickly fans into a bonfire.
Paige is a virgin, but she no longer wants to be. The solution? Hot sex with coworker Elijah. No strings and no feelings. Just sex. There’s only one problem, Elijah. What starts as only sex quickly escalates into something else.
Elijah is a player. A man whore. When he learns that Paige is a virgin he can’t believe it. He is intrigued and agrees to help her take care of her problem. They slowly build a friendship and he begins to want more. She doesn’t, at least that’s what she says.
This book is off the charts sexy. You get hit with the steaminess right off the bat. Paige and Elijah have an intense chemistry. I think that is why it was hard for them to resist each other. I love that Elijah catches feelings first. Although it happens, it is rare to see the man fall for the woman before she falls for him. It is always nice to have the “ladies man” type of character fall hard and then have to fight to convince her that they are meant to be together. Give me a man that fights to keep me any day!
Paige has been burned before and finds it hard to trust. Which is way she chose to have a purely sexual relationship. It takes guts to go after what you want and even more to deny what you really want. I was impressed with Paige’s ability to keep Elijah at a distance for as long as she did. Of course she finally gave in, because let’s face it how could you say no to Elijah at his most charming. I am always excited to get read anything by N. Isabelle Blanco. Her writing pulls me in and just has a flow that works. Her story telling abilities are one of the best I have read. I can’t wait to read more of her work. FOUR stars.
This is my first book by N Isabelle Blanco. I love the writing and the plot. I was hooked from page one, couldn’t put it down and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is very well written and developed. The characters are complex, relatable; the plot is strong, engaging and unpredictable. This is swoon worthy, co-workers with benefits romance. It has so much heart and love. The writing is simple and yet beautiful, unique and powerful.
Elijah and Paige lit the pages with their undeniable chemistry and feelings that they developed towards each other. They are both wary of each other not wanting to get hurt. As they get to know each other again and start spending time together their feelings and connection grow. He can’t explain why he is so drawn to her but he knows he wants to spend more time with her/be near her. Their chemistry is off the charts. They are both flawed and complex. Neither of them can deny the strong connection, pull they feel nor the fiery chemistry even though they tried. Slowly they bring down each other’s walls and win their guarded hearts. Watching their relationship grow and develop into something beautiful was really amazing.
Completely adored LOVELESS! It was addictive, sinfully sexy and intense, emotional and enthralling with real characters and a lot of heart. I highly recommend it.
I beginning to really like this authors work, I haven't much read much from her but from what I have. Her style is dirty and romantic my favourite. Eli was a huge player and even till end I don't think the flirting could be stopped. Which I wanted to smack him for more than once lol. Paige is way to innocent but that's the funny part once that sexual side is realesed its sexy as hell.
Elijah and Paige burned up the pages of this book. My how hard the most resistant fall! It didn't take long for Elijah to figure out that just sex with Paige wouldn't be enough. He was persistent and so sexy. And his dirty talking was hot! Loved this couple.
Eli had me at hello....he was swoonworthy throughout the book...Paige might have been just a tad annoying but holy hell I still wanted to be her :). And yes...this was a hot, steamy book...but it was also about trust...trusting when you find the right one...trusting that that person will not hurt you...
