Moan

Rate this book
A FULL LENGTH, STANDALONE novel with a HEA.



WARNING:

If Eyes Wide Shut and The Da Vinci Code had a one night stand in a dark alley while it was raining, then this novel would be there baby. The main setting of this story is a masquerade ball where sex lathers every inch of the castle, and all masked guests are welcome to explore any desire.





BLURB:



Roman, the Sex Tycoon of Europe, requested that Emily interview him. He's invited her to his exclusive masquerade ball in London. She'll be the only reporter there, partying among the most powerful people in the world.



But there's something bigger going on at this party where masks hide the wicked, and sex happens in and out of the shadows. There are lives at stake, and Roman is certain that Emily can help. All he has to do is keep his hands off of her long enough to take down an evil man called the Devil.



But it's hard to focus with a woman like Emily and the more he's around her, he's thinking less about the plans and wondering more about the many ways he can make her moan.






EXCERPT:



Roman had the kind of face that stroked the wicked parts of the body—ripe lips, tanned skin, midnight hair and a smooth grin. Strong and defined, his cheekbones made me want to nibble them.



His jaw was a work of art in a deep, catastrophic way, because although it was beautiful I wanted to do so many naughty things to it. Things that one didn’t do with a human jaw. I wanted to rub my sex all over its angular length until I came. I wanted to use my nipples to trace circles all over it. I wanted to fuck him hard. I wanted to bite. I wanted to gnaw. I wanted to grip his bed sheets and moan as he moved on top of me.

Kenya Wright wrote her first novel during her third year at UM Law school. She dropped out a month after the release and never looked back.

Words are power,
and Kenya wants to be the greatest wizard that ever lived.

It's an audacity to inspire
and teach the healing of love through arousal.

It's this crazy idea that love
can not only help a reader escape,
but the story can also teach the person
about being human,
while making them laugh,
cry,
and hot for more sex.

This was a great read. I was often shocked by the things the heroine would think to herself or say out loud - she was fearless and sure of herself. but after about five pages in I felt like her bff lol. The same was true for the romantic interest, Roman. After being introduced to his character I literally couldn't wait for the two characters to meet. It was worth the wait because the chemistry between them sizzled. That was what I loved about Moan. Some romance novelists create the perfect heroine and the perfect hero and the readers sort of convince themselves that so much perfection must surely belong together, right? Often it doesn't and you just know in the back of your mind that in real life the couple would be divorced in five years. The characters Wright created in Moan are not perfect and they are not flawless but they are smart, sexy and larger than life - and most importantly, they just make sense together. I hope the author can find a way to bring these two characters to life again. Their story is worth more than one book!

Wow, totally did not see how this was going to play out into the thriller that it was. Emily Rice, a hard hitting journalist, has been requested for an interview by the "Sex Tycoon of Europe." At first Emily turns down the assignment, Roman Meade is just to sexy for words and she know that she will more than sample the goodie than complete the interview. She relents after her editor sweetens the deal.

Roman Meade, went from millionaire to homeless back to millionaire. His ideal of sex parties turned him into a millionaire once more; however, one client wanted the one thing Roman did not want to provide...this lead him to reach out to Emily. The sexual attraction between Roman and Emily is undeniable and they fight hard against it, well as hard as they can, as they tour the party. Becoming distracted by the sexual attraction they feel they give into each other, but it gets them off track and Roman's friend Butter is killed.

The "devil" in this story is a Cardinal at the Vatican and he wants Roman to provide him and his friend with.... Well I hope you get what I am hinting at.

This book is not for the faint at heart, it will turn your stomach when you learn why Roman has sought Emily's help.

I didn't care for this story even though I can appreciate the plot that the author was trying to work. I hoped the story was longer as the mystery of the story started to really build up in the end, but instead it was rushed and finished in it's conclusion. Unfortunately, when an author is writing a mystery, but the focus is on on the romance aspect, the story becomes a miss. There needed to be a better balance of the two. Also, for some junior sleuths, their plans and execution of that plan was a little far fetched.

Did I like the hero and heroine though? If they just focused on the story and their mystery meeting, it would/could have been very good. :)

This story was in exchange for an honest review.

Although I generally like this author, I didn't care for this book. I'm wishing she had approached the plot (which I thought was great) with the same enthusiasm as the erotic scenes between Roman and Emily. Read my full review at:

This book was a wild, sexy ride....but all of Kenya Wright's books are. If you like a book that will keep you in suspense until the very end, then this book is for you.

Just okay

The story starts off very slow with Emily who is a famous journalist being persuaded to interview the elusive millionaire Roman. Then some background history on Roman and why he Is obsessed with her. Then there is the long boring journey in the different rooms & we are still wondering why is Emily "the one". Finally in the last two chapters the answers are revealed. Wow!! The end was rushed and I wish the whole book was focused on the plot and how to destroy the antagonist. The chemistry between Emi & Roman was HOT!

WOW!!

This book took me on a ride I'll never forget. Emi is definitely a ride or die chic and Roman a ride or die dude. I received a history lesson not taught in college and totally did not expect some of the events that happened. Loved the ending!

Parties full of debauchery. A party throwing handsome playboy and a reporter known for going to great lengths to always get her story. But when the Devil comes knocking with a horrifying request and the power to back him, our love birds will find themselves in much mode trouble than a political scandal. The chemistry between Emi and Roman is HOT! And they can't keep their hands off of each other even when faced with life threatening danger. A spicy yet thrilling read.

This is a story about an up and coming human rights/community activist reporter name Emily. Who was becoming a star in her own right but she wanted more in her career. Who was ask by her boss to go outside her normal realm of reporting on community issues to do a cover story on international entertainment mogul Roman Meade.

Roman Meade a twice self made millionaire. First came to prominence as a millionaire businessman only to lose it all and become homeless. While he was broke and homeless he would stay with his uncle who would watch the news where he met Emily on TV as a human rights activist reporter. There he became obsessed with making his life better by being obsessed with her. He completely turn his life around by becoming a millionaire again running a party planning business for the super rich and powerful. There he met a man of power that Roman personally nicknamed "The Devil. The Devil wanted his services by planning a specific sex theme party. So when Roman refused to give this man the type of party he wanted, The Devil takes matter in his own hands by blackmail. When that happens Roman seeks help by the only person he felt could help him. Emily.

Emily was given the unwillingly assignment of conducting an exclusive interview with the elusive playboy millionaire Roman Meade. It was unwillingly because she took one look at his picture and knew she was too attracted to him to remain professional. The moment Emily met Roman sparks flew and it was a struggle for Roman to focus and inform Emily of the real reason he needed her help. The question to be answer is: Will Emily help Roman when she uncovers Roman's secret and the real reason he needed her help or worst before she falls for him?

This story was very intriguing to me to read. Yes this story has all the elements in it that a Kenya Wright story normally have. It is extremely erotic and adventurous. But this book is a true thriller. I didn't expect that and I was pleasantly surprise. From the hero being a twice self made millionaire to how he turn his life around only to have his livelihood threaten. What will happen when he meets the woman who unknowingly help him to turn his life around? Also, at the point in which Emily figures out why Roman needed her help the situation seems impossible to work out ? I won't explain what that situation is because what would be the point of reading it if I gave away the juicy parts. But that situation is what is so worth the read. Finding out how or if Roman and Emily can fix the situation that they are in. That part alone is worth the read and the sex and adventurous intrigue is the bonus.

HONEST REVIEW


Kenya WrightMoan



WHAT THE FUCK!

Here i am all excited and pissed off trying to figure out what the hell is going on in the book, and then towards the end i finally got it. Oh boy was i shocked by it.



im with you bud! GROSSED RIGHT OUT!


im with you here snape, i still finished the book thought! .


Alright, so you know when your watching a movie and it drags on? where your so angry and you end up fast forwarding to get to the good parts. that was a metaphorical question you dont have to answer.

Yea well this book, made me so angry,
WHAT THE HELL WAS THE PARTY ABOUT!?
WHY THE HELL WAS HE SO OBSESSED WITH HER!?
WHY WAS HE SO CREEPY!
AND WHY THE HELL WAS EMILY SO LIKE A LOVE STRUCK PUPPY AND CAVE IN TOO HIM!.



THIS LADYS AND GENTS IS EMILY!.
yea yea shes 'suposto' be strong and cunning but seriously what the hell was with them?
OKAY i can understand the power of attraction but still that was just like some sticky sweet high school love movie.

Now the devil, that was interesting to say the least, but it was also one of the nastiest things i have ever read about. Take my words for it i have read a lot.

THAT MOMENT YOU REALIZE THAT THEIR IS ONLY 10 PAGES LEFT IN THE BOOK AND YOU KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO END WELL!

Hot, sexy and dangerous

What a treat for your senses. Moan is a really good sexy thriller that will, without doubt, keep you turning the pages.

Ms Wright has conjured up a great story line and some really tasty characters in this well paced erotic thriller.

As a mystery/thriller I must tread carefully and be sure to give nothing away. However, I will say I really enjoyed this book and was surprised at the bravery of the author tackling some taboo subject matter. Credit to Ms Wright, she kept it simple enough that I kept up, but intriguing enough that I wanted more, while offering danger and naughtiness in a controlled and sexy manner.

The characters are believable and well drawn and the plot was smart and sexy in equal measure.

Once absorbed into the book we are treated to voyeuristic romp through the world of high end sex parties and the sinister world of some of those on the guest list. Sex, romance and murder abound. Oh yes, and more sex.

The erotic tension is great and the creative way we are treated to these plentiful scenes is really good. Ms Wright has an eye for flair and art and add to this some wildly sexy elements of historical legend the reader really is left satisfied (and if like me, just a little curious for more).

If I am going to find any real criticism, for me, the ending rattled in and out a little too fast. The build up and anticipation of the end plot was well crafted and we had some nice twists and unexpected developments, but then I felt a little assaulted as it whipped up on me and was delivered at a pace I wasn’t really expecting. I would have savored and enjoyed it a little more if a chapter or two were added to the final reveal. But that really isn’t a big deal. This is a great story, well written and very enjoyable. Not only as a very sexy erotic book but also as a credible mystery thriller. But yes, it’s the very naughty path we walk that makes this such a great read.

The only question left is…How does one get an invite? Two tickets please!

For me an easy 4 stars, and as I said at the beginning…Hot, sexy and dangerous.

An author to watch and one I hope to read more of.

Moan, by Kenya Wright was billed as Eyes Wide Shut meets DaVinci Code, but I was not impressed.  Emily is an African American reporter, who is a self-identified sex addict. When her editor, who is a good friend, offers her a chance of a lifetime interview with the Sex Tycoon of Europe, Roman Meade she initially refuses because she feels she won’t be able to resist sleeping with him because he is so handsome.

We learn in the book that when Roman was down financially watching Emily on television became his lifeline.  He describes how watching her made him want to be better.

While the book was very fast paced, we don’t learn until towards the end of the book why Roman actually insist on Emily being the first reporter allowed to interview him and see inside his world of sex parties.  It was at this point that the DaVicni Code reference was made clear when we discover who “The Devil” actually is. In most books when an author kills off a major character, without good reason in my opinion, it sets a tone for the remainder of the story.

We never learn the backstory of Emily’s history that shows us how she is able to do much of what is described at the end of the book.  The “history” lesson about orgies over the centuries was enlightening.  As were the descriptions of the various costumes and rooms that were well written and created great visual imagery.   While I have read other of Ms. Wright’s work and enjoyed them this book is not a story I would recommend to others to read.

Moan you will

Short erotic thriller....very erotic..Roman and Emi comes together in this in an unconventional way...he's a world renowned playboy...afraid of commitment...she a excellent reporter who is also afraid of commitment...they arranged to meet and collaborate for a good cause...saving innocent children...Roman is the kingmaker of elaborate sex parties amongst the elite...but it's about to get darker really fast....he needs Emi's help to expose the evil that is about to take place..I certainly wished it was longer...seems like it's a condensed version...which could have been made into a series like her other books.

A erotic dark romance thriller. The beginning started out interesting with Emily's editor telling her she was requested for an exclusive interview with millionaire Roman Meade who throws secret sex parties. It started out good, got lost in the middle, but story was redeemed on how the two worked out a plan to get rid of several evil men, but then the ending was a bit too perfect. Probably if the story was longer the believability of Roman and Emily could have been created over time. It was too fast that she was one for him, but he was watching her on the news for 5 years, but she just met him and he was the one for her too.

This was truly a dark & twisty tale... I cannot say that this was one of Ms. Keyna's best, but it was decent.

IMO, the erotic elements seemed a little heavy-handed, and a particular scene, almost made me nauseous.


Overall, it was ok, but it wasn't spectacular.

Giving this one: 2.5 stars

Oh, the plot twists! I have been a fan of Kenya Wright ever since Fire Baptized and expected a wild ride. What I was not expecting, was the ride that this book took me on. I felt like I was reading subtitles to a movie. It was exciting, different, dark, gritty, sexy, suspenseful... this book had me in my feelings. I was sad to see it end but I'm excited to see what's next.

This is a new author to me so I had no idea what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. She was a journalist and he an uber rich dude, sound familiar? Well despite that, this was a good story. Roman had it all and lost it...then got it again and invited Emily to be in his world...in a way.
The story was fact paced, erotic and fun.

Thank goodness for happy endings cause I was worried there for a minute! I loved the instantaneous connection they shared as well as the imagery in the book. That drew me in and had me feeling like I was right there. All in all it was a very original story that i enjoyed very much.
