Touch - Iliya's Story: A MFF Ménage romance

Touch Series #2

by Anna Ellis

One woman. Two loves. A dark pastWhat happens when you have the man of your dreams and still want more?

“...highly addictive...chemistry is off the charts...”

Iliya has the perfect husband in Del in every way, but still, she craves more. Her past is full of dark desires, an irresistible mix of pleasure and pain that Del can’t understand, and those desires are reaching out to claim Iliya.

Drawn to Kenna’s innocence, Iliya fans the flames of the attraction between her friend and her husband, hoping Kenna will be enough to distract Iliya from her sordid past before it destroys her life with Del.

Touch – Iliya’s Story is a steamy unconventional romance, “…an emotional story of self-awareness…of finding self-worth and joy of living life as you find happiness, friendship, and love." Find out more about Iliya in the second book of the nine-book series that follows Kenna, Del, and Iliya in their sensual journey to find love.

Desires and Distractions

Coming into this, I wasn't sure how I'd like the format as the timeline overlaps book one of the trilogy. The format isn't my favorite, but I still found it interesting and entertaining.

Delancey "Del" Ecker and Iliya Smoak have an unconventional, sometimes complicated, marriage. I admire how they accept their individual desires and want to do whatever will make their partner happy. They aren't perfect, but I do like them together.

It’s like I’m two people. The woman who loves Del more than life itself. And then woman who aches for the touch of other women.

Maybe three people, because I also can’t stop thinking about William and what he can do to my body.
-- Iliya Smoak

That said, I sense trouble on the horizon. I don't think it'll come directly from their mutual attraction to Kenna MacTavish, but it'll come all the same.

While there are sensual aspects of Iliya's POV, there are also some darker and rawer aspects with William Burgess. It's hot until it's not. I feel bad for Iliya and how she struggles with some of her desires afterwards. It's an unfortunate side effect of trying to be "normal" when you don't fit that mold.

I've read several of Anna's books over the years, and I love that the characters frequently make cameo appearances throughout. This is no exception.

I absolutely loved reading the Touch series by Anna Ellis. This was a great story. Characters just drew me in on every page I read. I was unable to put the book down, it was a page turner for sure.

The wife of our trio has a bit of wanderlust, plus a past she is trying to hide. Can the new element in their lives keep things in check?

This nine book series is actually three sets of three, with each person providing their view as the relationship develops. This is Book Two of the series, providing Illya's perspective of the developing relationship.

The story is very well developed, with well written characters and a understandable and realistic plot. Each of the characters has their own reasons for wanting this relationship and the chemistry is off the charts. The story develops at a good pace and keeps you wanting more.

Fair warning: I found the story to be highly addictive, so be prepared to stay up late reading once you start.

Highly recommended.

I've read several books written by Anna Ellis; she has done a great job at writing a fantastic book; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of books her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the chemistry between the characters.

Unconventional indeed! This, the second book of the series, covers the same time frame as the first book but is told from the perspective of Iliya. We learn about her almost uncontrollable sex drive, what she desires most of all, and why she is obsessed with Kenna. Adrian and William are introduced along with a few other characters from her past. Again, a very interesting and informative portrait of an alternative life style. Looking forward to Del's view point of view!

A great second book to a promising new series. Anna Ellis has created a world where anyone can really step into. She has the three main characters which are awesome, and really this can happen in everyday life. This book is hot!

We learn a lot more about Iliya in this book. She is a lot more sexual and open than the others at this point. We also meet William and learn that they have a strong connection. Where will it all lead?
