Quantum #5
Ravenous
She wants a baby. He wants her. Simple enough, right?
Ellie Godfrey has kissed her share of frogs. So many, in fact, that she fears she won’t recognize her prince if and when he finally comes along. Tired of waiting for THE ONE, Ellie decides to have a baby on her own before it’s too late.
When Jasper Autry hears about Ellie’s plan, what else can he do but step in and offer to “contribute” to her project. Does that make him an opportunist? Whatever. He wants the perpetually out-of-reach Ellie Godfrey, and when he sees his chance, he takes it. That she’s the sister of his business partner and close friend Flynn gives him pause, but it doesn’t stop him from having what he wants.
As Jasper and Ellie embark upon their secret “project,” he makes it clear that for as long as they’re together, he’s in charge — in the bedroom anyway. After the hottest sex of her life, Ellie realizes she’s made a deal with the devil himself.
Warning: If you hate foul-mouthed heroes who like it a little rough and dirty, this might not be the book for you… Contains hot and sexy BDSM scenes among other things that might not appeal to the faint of heart. Enter at your own risk and enjoy!

4 Stars!!
'Ravenous' is the fifth installment in M.S. Force’s erotic series entitled Quantum' and like its predecessors it was gripping, tastefully erotically done and wonderfully written. As usual, Mrs. Force’s effortless story-telling made me devour this read in one sitting. 'Ravenous' like the previous installments in the series was a great mix of sexiness and sweetness with just a little pinch of drama. It was heartwarming and emotional at times with some perfectly blended funny moments. Needless to say 'Ravenous' had a little bit of everything to keep every reader hoked from the beginning until the end.
Ellie Godfrey knows for sure the time to settle down has come. But she has one little problem – she’s single. Over the years she tried dating, but obviously the dating thing was a total failure. Wanting desperately to have a baby, Ellie plans to visit a sperm bank. She knows what she wants and she doesn’t care she would be a single mother. When Ellie shares with Jasper her plans the sexy British playboy makes her an offer – he will father the baby, but with a single condition, to make him in the old fashioned way. Ellie will have full custody since Jasper doesn’t plan to change nappies anytime soon, so the whole situation is a win-win for both of them.
Jasper is Finn’s (Ellie's brother) friend and business partner. He had known Ellie for many years since she works for the production company he co-owns with Flynn and other several friends. Jasper always admired Ellie and secretly lusted for her. However, he knows they could never be a couple since she’s his friend’s sister and since she’s too sweet and far too vanilla for him. Jasper not only he likes hot, dirty, kinky sex, he needs it and he knows Ellie would never submit to him in bed.
The dynamic between them changes when Ellie accepts Jasper’s offer agreeing to keep it between them since their “relationship” will come to an end in a very short time. Neither of them expect the connection between them to be so strong, to be so great in and out of bed or to fall for each other in such a short time.
I really enjoyed this one. Ellie and Jasper’s story was so swoony and definitely my favorite installment in the series so far. 'Ravenous' was fast-paced, intense at times with a very addictive story-line and like the previous installment in the series it can be read as a standalone. IMO this installment was the most romantic in the series so far. The romance between Ellie and Jasper was beautiful and I smiled and grinned so many times reading their story. I loved how everything between them progressed, the friendship between them and also their witty dialogue. I also loved how honest and comfortable they were with each other.
The connection/chemistry between them was palpable and so very well done. Mrs. Force did a wonderful job with this aspect of the story. The two were so damn sweet together, but they were also hot as hell. Like in the previous installment in the series, the BDSM aspect was not too heavy which I liked. The sex scenes were well written, detailed and very passionate.
I loved these two characters – together, but also individually. Ellie was a fantastic heroine. Strong and determined she was so very easy to like. I liked the relationship she has with her brother, Flynn and also with her group of friends. As the story unfolded she proved that she’s perfect for Jasper in every way and that she's everything he needs. The way she supported him at times was really heartwarming.
Jasper was such a swoon-worthy hero. I loved him from the very beginning. He was so charming with his sexy British accent, so considerate, sweet and caring. He was really a wonderful hero and perfect for Ellie!
Overall, a fantastic addition to the series! Can’t wait to read more about these characters and about the beautiful, heartwarming dynamic between them.

::: FULL REVIEW NOW POSTED :::
HOLY FREAKING HOTNESS!! I read this book in one sitting and absolutely loved it!! It was sexy, swoony, and oh-so-very-addictive!!! I didn't want to put it down and seriously, it was HOT HOT HOT!!!!!! Marie Force's writing style in this series perfectly rides those delicate lines between sweet, sexy, hilarious, emotional, and downright smoking hot in a way that delivers the ultimate romance reading experience. This is definitely a top favorite!
So this story is about Ellie who, after years of uneventful and borderline disastrous dating, has decided that she doesn't need a man to complete her dreams of becoming a mother. But just when she's about to turn to the sperm bank, Jasper, a sinfully sexy British playboy who her family has been friends with for years poses a tempting proposition. He'll father the baby she wants as long as they make it the old-fashioned way. With no strings between them, he knows they'll have a lot of fun along the way, and in the end she'll get the baby she's always dreamed of.
But what neither of them counted on was falling head-over-heels in love along the way...
Things weren't quite so easy though. For starters, she was the sister of his best friend and business partner and out of respect he'd always considered her off limits. Next, his private BDSM lifestyle was simply not something he ever thought she'd be interested in. But it was such an integral part of his life that he always knew he could never be with someone who didn't embrace that side of him too and it was so far removed from what he thought she'd be into that he just couldn't see things working out romantically between them.
And finally, he was hiding more than just his lifestyle from her. There was a big family secret that nobody -- not even his closest friends -- knew about that could change his life in a way he never wanted and in a way he'd most certainly never dream of imposing on anyone else that was forcing him into a lonely life of solitude.
So for these reasons, he tried his best to keep his heart shielded and to maintain a more business-like approach to their agreement. But the heart wants what the heart wants, and before he knew it, she owned his.
Now let me tell you guys, this book (this entire series in fact) is HOOOOOTTTTTT!!!! I actually think the Quantum books might be tied (no pun) with Fifty Shades and Crossfire for being some of the hottest series I've read! But to me, the most important thing is that this author really understands and respects that important balance in erotic romance between the emotional connection to the characters, the actual character development, and finally the sex.
And seriously, if you read this book, be prepared to SWOOOOOOOOON because Jasper is absolutely heart-meltingly sweet, protective, possessive, dominant, and just the way he cares for her is absolutely gorgeous! Please note though that this is a fully erotic BDSM romance so only go for this book if this is something you're open to reading about.
The story is told in alternating POVs and in first person. You can read it as a standalone (separate from the series), but the side characters are interconnected throughout the series so you'll see the couples from the previous books in this one. Even if you read this alone, you won't be lost at all. My advice would be to either read this book alone, or to just start at the beginning and read them all through (first three books are about one couple, fourth book is another couple, and fifth book is yet another one). But honestly, you'll be fine either way. Again, this book can standalone.
While you can read this book as a standalone, it was really awesome to see the whole Quantum gang come together. Whether or not you've read their stories, the way these guys come together as a family unit is so incredibly heart-warming. They have each others' back no matter what, they'll support each other through anything, and you just feel it without a doubt that they're a solid unit.
And another thing that I loved about this book was that there was no stupid drama. There were some twists that surprised me (like Jasper's family secret) but they were pleasant surprises and any drama that came into Ellie and Jasper's lives just brought them closer together as they turned to each other for support throughout the ordeal. It was really nice to see characters take such a mature stand in the face of what they went through.
There's a great balance between sex and story in this book. It is crazy hot and it'll definitely keep you swooning and fanning yourself from beginning to end. I absolutely loved the story and the ending was gorgeous!! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a sexy new romance to fall in love with!
Rating: 4.5 stars!! Can standalone. Erotic BDSM romance.

“Tell me I’m not the only one who feels —"
I kiss her because I can’t not kiss her and touch her and want her and everything she’s offering. I want it. I want it so badly, I burn from wanting it. “You’re not the only one,” I whisper when we finally come up for air. Now that I’ve started, I never want to stop kissing her. “I want the same things you do. You can’t possibly know how badly I want all of it.”

“And you’re sure you want to do it this way?”
“I’m sure this is the only way to do it in light of my perpetually single status.”
“It’s not the only way.”
I’m almost afraid to look at him, and when I do, the calculating look he gives me makes my skin heat with awareness of him. “What do you mean?”
“You could ask an old friend who is both handsome and smart, not to mention incredibly charming, to provide the start-up ‘capital’ you require to get your project off the ground.”
But what neither of them counted on was falling head-over-heels in love along the way...
“Stay,” I whisper. “Stay with me tonight. Stay with me every night for as long as you can.”

No matter how hard I try, I can’t picture Ellie Godfrey submitting to me or any other man. She’s not a sub, but I am a Dom... In any life other than the one I was born into, I’d want to marry a girl like Ellie and give her as many babies as she wants. But in my life, that’s simply not possible, and I fucking hate that reality.
And finally, he was hiding more than just his lifestyle from her. There was a big family secret that nobody -- not even his closest friends -- knew about that could change his life in a way he never wanted and in a way he'd most certainly never dream of imposing on anyone else that was forcing him into a lonely life of solitude.

So for these reasons, he tried his best to keep his heart shielded and to maintain a more business-like approach to their agreement. But the heart wants what the heart wants, and before he knew it, she owned his.
“There you are,” he whispers, brushing the hair back from my face and leaning in to kiss me, “So sweet and so sexy at the same time, and so permanently out of reach.”
“Have you thought that? That I was out of reach.”
“Entirely out of reach for so many reasons.”

I cling to him, nuzzling my nose into his neck to breathe in the clean, crisp smell of his cologne. “We’re going to fight for this, Jasper. We’re going to fight with everything we have. I’ve waited my whole life for you. I’m not letting you go.”
There's a great balance between sex and story in this book. It is crazy hot and it'll definitely keep you swooning and fanning yourself from beginning to end.

ARC provided by publisher in exchange for an honest review
Sinfully seductive and intoxicating!!!!! M.S. Force has my complete and undivided attention now as she has written one decadent and fervent titillating erotic romance that will have readers Ravenous for more.
“Jasper… tall, blond, muscular in a lanky sort of way, handsome as sin, talented as all get-out and a manwhore of the highest order. He’s the proverbial pot of honey when it comes to women, attracting them as effortlessly as he breathes.”
I have a confession to make before I begin my review of Ravenous. I have not read the first four books of the Quantum Series but after reading this fifth installment, I am beyond hooked. If Ravenous was a taste of how erotically charged M.S. Force can write, then I will definitely be one-clicking her books now. With that out of the way, let’s begin my review.
“My body ignites at the images that scorch my brain in the scope of five seconds. Holy shit. Have I gone blind, deaf and dumb, or is Jasper Autry telling me he wants to have sex with me— and make a baby with me?”
Ravenous can be read as a standalone so you don’t need to read the first four books of Quantum Series but trust me after reading this book, you will want to read about Hayden and Flynn. Ravenous chronicles the story of Ellie Godfrey and Jasper Autry. After witnessing all of her sibling settling down and finding love, thirty five year old Ellie knows her biological clock is ticking. Instead of wasting more valuable time finding Mr. Right, she decides it’s best to be inseminated so she can have a baby first then will work on finding Mr. Right later. When Ellie tells her brother’s best friend of her plans, Jasper surprises her when he tells Ellie that he will happy to be the donor but they will have to make the baby the good old fashioned way. Jasper also informs her that when it comes to sex, she will have to obey him. Her pleasure belongs to him only.
“I can do sweet and vanilla to make a baby. But long-term? No way. I’m almost thirty-seven years old, and I found out a long time ago that I’m not capable of nice and sweet as a rule. No, I want hot, dirty, kinky sex. I need it the way some people need caffeine to get through a day. A man reaches a point in life where he’s not willing to compromise on certain things. My kink is nonnegotiable , and thus my realization quite some time ago that I’m likely to remain single rather than have to settle for a nice , wholesome girl who’d rather be electrocuted than tied up, flogged, spanked and fucked every which way to Tuesday.”
“I own your pleasure, sweet Ellie. You come when I say you can, understood?”
When Ellie agrees to Jasper’s plans and the legality of the unborn baby, Ellie never expected that sex with Jasper would be mind blowing orgasmic. One taste of Ellie, Jasper was addicted. As Jasper and Ellie begin their baby making project, neither one of them expected to fall for each other so deeply. As Jasper awakens this new sexual desire in Ellie of BDSM, she soon discovers that she loves giving Jasper the sexual control. But what happens when Jasper discovers that he doesn’t just want to be a donor but also be the lover in Ellie’s life as well as the father to their possible unborn child? Will Jasper be able to admit this new revelations? And what happens when Jasper informs Ellie of his real identity? Can Jasper and Ellie get their happily ever after? Or will their insatiable and passionate romance be doomed when Jasper’s secret is revealed?
“But one taste of the exquisite Ellie Godfrey has thrown my carefully constructed plans straight out the window.”
M.S. Force aptly titled this fifth installment because she has seriously worked her writing magic as she has me ravenous for Jasper and Ellie. I absolutely adored this book as M.S. Force not only wrote about an older couple but she also explored the themes of love, family, obligation, and sex. M.S. Force ardently wrote a story that was brimming with so much heat, passion, intensity, and steam that readers could feel the sexual attraction pulsating and reverberating between Jasper and Ellie. So if you like you a hot British alpha hero who has a penchant for dirty talks and sexual control, then I would definitely recommend you to read Ravenous.

So if you like you a hot British alpha hero who has a penchant for dirty talks and sexual control, then I would definitely recommend you to read Ravenous.

SO SWEET

SO FREAKING HOT!
SOOOO FREAKING SWOONY!
Such a fantastic read, I loved it!
This is book 5 in the Quantum series, but as an inter-connected standalone, it can easily be read on its own. I have read each of the books in this series, and absolutely love the mix of strong heroines, dirty-mouthed heroes, intense romance and emotion, and super-steamy sex with a side of kink. These books are a great read and this one is a definite favourite!
This is the story of Ellie Godfrey. She is the older sister of superstar actor Flynn (hero of books 1-3 in the series), and she works in the production company that is run by him and his group of best friends. Jasper Autrey is the award-winning cinematographer of the group – dangerously sexy, a bit of a manwhore and with a to-die-for English accent, he has starred in Ellie’s fantasies more than once. But she is at a stage in her life where she wants to settle down, and more than anything she wants a baby. She is planning to visit a sperm bank and get things happening all on her own, but when she shares her plans with Jasper, as the true friend that he is, he offers to step in and assist – as long as they go about things the old fashioned way. Knowing that Jasper isn’t interested in a relationship, and desperate to see her dream realised, she realises his plan is perfect – she gets the chance to have a child of her own, knowing that Jasper will be able to keep things emotionless, and she gets to experience him in the way she’s always dreamed of.
Unbeknownst to Ellie, Jasper has always wanted the opportunity to get his hands on her, so his offer isn’t purely selfless. He figures they’ll get to explore the attraction that has always simmered between them, that he can control his Dom needs while they’re together, and then once the deed is done, he’ll leave. But he does have a condition of his own – he likes control in the bedroom and he needs Ellie to hand that over to him before he agrees to anything.
Oh. Holy. God. The hotness between these two is off the freaking charts! The chemistry between them literally leaps off the pages and the sexy time is kindle-meltingly steamy. The sex is plentiful and descriptive without being OTT, and the feelings that Ellie and Jasper have for each make it all the more intense.
Ellie and Jasper experience the best sex of their lives together and, surprised by the intensity of their connection, their business arrangement soon becomes anything but. Keen to explore what is becoming her sexual awakening, Ellie asks Jasper for more and he gladly shows her his world of kink (more hotness).
But more importantly, the friendship they have always shared very quickly shifts into something more.
I loved the development of this relationship! Their arrangement isn’t cold and clinical in any way, it’s sweet and comfortable as they spend time together and open up to each other, and their crazy physical connection leads them to an intimacy that neither of them have experienced before. It’s a natural and easy progression, and I fell right along with them. But for Jasper, the future that he wants with Ellie seems impossible because of a secret he’s been keeping from everybody who knows him – a secret that denies him everything that he’s coming to realise that he wants.
OMG, this book is a swoonfest! Despite the secret that he is keeping, Jasper is open about his feelings, and the heartfelt pleas and romantic declarations had me melting into a puddle of goo on the floor. His reasons for holding back are understandable and completely justified, and I could feel his torment over the whole situation. But he never expected the woman he has fallen for to fight for him and give him the strength to fight for the life he wants once and for all.
It all plays out beautifully, and the involvement of the rest of the Quantum crew just make it better. All of the characters from the previous books are a part of the unfolding drama, and I loved the chance to catch up with them. There is continuation for the previous couples, and hints at romance to come (Kristian... squee!), but mostly I just enjoyed the dynamic of the group, the camaraderie between them and the unconditional love and support they give to each other. That, and the almost constant banter and teasing which adds a great lightness to the story.
I loved this book. It hooked me from the very start and I read it in one sitting, unable to put it down. I fell in love with Ellie and Jasper, and their story, and I was happily swept away by the romance, passion, intensity and emotion between them. The different elements are blended really well and the sexy time, kink, romance and drama all complement each other nicely without any one of them overwhelming the other. It creates a beautiful story that appealed to the hopeless romantic in me, as well as the dirty perve.
It all ends at a great place, and I look forward to seeing more of Ellie and Jasper in future books of the series, but for now I’m desperate for whatever Marie Force writes next.
4.5 stars.

I collapse onto the bed, a quivering wreck of a woman who used to have control over her life, until she let a sexy, charming Brit into her bed and found out what it’s like to completely lose control.
Ellie and Jasper experience the best sex of their lives together and, surprised by the intensity of their connection, their business arrangement soon becomes anything but.

“And what’s with the finger? For God’s sake, Jasper, that’s just…”
“Awesome?”
“No! It’s weird!”
“So weird that you fucking explode every time I do it? … I can’t believe you’ve never done that before, darling.”
“Why can’t you believe it? I’m a good girl. I don’t do anal.”
That makes me laugh out loud and earns me another scowl. “You do now.”
But more importantly, the friendship they have always shared very quickly shifts into something more.
“Do you ever think that it’s weird the way this has happened sort of all of a sudden between us?
He stands and comes to me, placing his hands on my hips and resting his forehead on mine. “It’s hardly all of a sudden, darling. For quite some time now, if you’re in the room, I’ve found it difficult to look anywhere but where you are.”

Ravenous is the fifth installment in the Quantum series and it is definitely my favorite so far! It follows the friends-to-lovers relationship between Ellie Godfrey, sister of superstar actor Flynn Godfrey featured in the original Quantum trilogy, and Jasper Autry. Ellie and Jasper are amazing characters, their story was heart melting and pulled me in from the first page. I adored everything about this sexy, intense and tender erotic romance, with witty dialogues and heartfelt moments. The writing was flawless and this book was perfect of sweetness and sexiness.
Ellie Godfrey might be Hollywood royalty, she has never even come close to being in love. In her mid-thirties, she has the feeling her biological clock is ticking and has decided to resort to a sperm bank to find a biological father for her future child. Jasper Autry has been her friend for years and there is affection and trust between them. Jasper is her brother’s business partner and an Award-winning cinematographer, known for a long series of brief romantic relationships.
As the story unfolded, it was obvious that Jasper had always been into Ellie but was convinced that he was not the right man for her. However, offering “his contribution” to her baby project was a no-brainer and a perfect opportunity to finally have more with her! Although Ellie never expected his offer, she easily agrees to his terms. She is attracted to him and his sexy British accent! I loved that everything was easy between them, nothing was forced. Jasper has many secrets, he is relieved he can be himself with Ellie and discuss his kinky sexual preferences and his need for dominance. Ellie is open minded, she totally trusts Jasper and accepts to explore new frontiers with him.
Jasper is the whole package, he is sexy, lighthearted and kind, but he hides his wounds behind his smile. He knows the life he has made for himself in L.A. is on a timer. What Jasper and Ellie shared felt real. They are both more and more invested in their relationship, but are conflicted by their intense feelings and the temporary status of their arrangement. Jasper doesn’t want to burden Ellie and his not yet conceived child with his family legacy and obligations. But he didn’t count on Ellie’s decision to fight for him and convince him he can have it all.
This story was simply beautiful and tugged at my heartstrings, big time! I loved the extended family spirit with all the characters from the previous (and future, I hope) Quantum books. It can be read as a standalone and is told in Ellie and Jasper’s point of view. Definitely a favorite book by a talented author!
I received an advanced copy of this book courtesy of the author, in exchange for an honest review.

Me ha gustado esta pareja. No me esperaba para nada el pasado de Jasper. Se lee de una sentada, pero no pasa de entretenido.

I'm going with a 3.5 this was sweet and sexy.. and super HOT. I've not read the other books in the series but I do plan on going back and reading them now that I've had a glimpse of the other couples they are about. Ellie and Jasper were funny and had amazeballs chemistry and that made their story a page turner. However, I felt like their story could have used a little angst.. not much, just a touch of something besides the one hurdle that really never got between them. Something else that makes them work a little harder to get their HEA .. you know what I'm talking about. But I still enjoyed this one and will be going back and checking out the other books in this series.

Recensione per il Blog Valentina Abbr
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?stor...
La serie Quantum ruota attorno a una delle case cinematografiche più celebri di Hollywood.
I primi tre volumi della serie riguardano l'accattivante storia d'amore tra la famosa star del cinema Flynn Godfrey e la maestra elementare Natalie, conosciuta per caso un giorno al parco.
Lui nasconde al mondo una parte di sé, è un dominatore, cofondatore dell' esclusivo club "Quantum", costituito da pochi e fidati soci, tutti amici tra di loro, ubicato nel seminterrato del palazzo del quale Flynn è proprietario.
Ellie è la sorella di Flynn. È una donna indipendente e combattiva, ma single. È in cerca di un donatore perché desidera ardentemente avere un bambino. Così decide di attuare il suo piano e rivolgersi ad un ente preposto.
Ma, complice una vacanza con suo fratello e altri membri della Quantum, società nella quale lavora anche lei, riceve un'interessante proposta da Jasper, socio e migliorare amico di Flynn, che conosce da sempre e dal quale è sempre stata attratta.
Jasper è un uomo magnetico e affascinante, un dongiovanni, dal particolare e sensuale accento britannico.
Per Ellie rappresenta l'uomo perfetto dei suoi sogni. Ma non vuole cedere al suo fascino: tra loro ci dovrà essere solo un accordo legale e nulla più.
Solo che Jasper intende portare a termine il suo compito in "modo tradizionale".
E la inizia ad un mondo a lei ancora sconosciuto, quello del club dove si pratica il BDSM. Qui Ellie inizia a provare sensazioni esaltanti e perverse che la travolgono, dove gioco e piacere si fondono, fino da trasportarla in una dimensione lontana di beatitudine.
«Non puoi saperlo finché non provi, ed è uno dei cardini del nostro stile di vita. Si prova tutto una volta, una seconda se ti piace. Non c’è nulla di cui vergognarsi nello sperimentare o nell’oltrepassare limiti per vedere che cosa è possibile.»
Ellie è la risposta a tutte le domande che Jasper si è sempre fatto su quale sia il suo posto nel mondo, che non è in Inghilterra, dove un giorno dovrà tornare per occuparsi di un’eredità che non ha mai voluto.
Jasper nasconde a Ellie e a tutti i suoi amici e soci della Quantum, le sue origini, intanto cerca un modo per sfuggire agli obblighi nei confronti della famiglia, per poterne crearne una tutta sua, con la donna che ama.
Ma il suo segreto viene a galla, frutto di un ingegnoso disegno, e la tempesta mediatica che lo travolge è devastante. La sua unica preoccupazione è rivolta agli amici fraterni che potrebbero essere coinvolti nello scandalo che lo riguarda. Ma, con sua sorpresa, gli amici gli offrono il proprio sostegno incondizionato, dimostrandogli grande stima e affetto:
«Sei uno di noi e lo sarai sempre. Facci sapere che cosa possiamo fare per aiutarti. Qualsiasi cosa.»
L'amicizia, quella vera, sincera e leale, è il tema principale di questo quinto volume. Flynn, Hayden, Kristian e Marlowe, amici accomunati da particolari gusti erotici, hanno dimostrato grande affiatamento sul piano umano e personale. Anche in questo libro come negli altri della serie, il bondage non è centrale nella trama, e viene trattato mai in modo volgare.

Ravenous is actually my first book by M.S. Force/Marie Force and it was a sexy, sweet read I enjoyed. I don’t particularly LOVE tropes that have anything to do with babies, nor am I a fan of BDSM romances all that much, but I thought I’d give this a try, and it turned out better than I expected! The characters were likable and the kink was not boring – I liked Ravenous enough that I’m definitely contemplating reading the rest of the series!
Ellie Godfrey’s biological clock is ticking at thirty-five, and since she really doesn’t want anything to do with men at this point, she decides to have a baby – on her own. But right before she decides to go to a clinic for some random sperm, her brother’s best friend offers to be the donor, but only if they conceive the baby the old-fashioned way. What’s a girl to do when the guy she’s always been attracted to but could never have wants to help her have a baby? Well, she obviously says YES.
British, wicked, and gorgeous, Jasper Autry has always wanted Ellie, but being best friends with her brother has kept him from ever pursuing her. He’s not cut out for a relationship, and a secret about his own heritage has him even more against relationships. But getting to be with Ellie, awakening her to his kinkier tastes of BDSM, particularly his dominance, has him wanting her more and more – until he’s not satisfied until he owns her, body, heart, and soul. Now he has to find a way to convince he wants everything with Ellie, and fight for their chance at a HEA.
Jasper is the absolute sweetest – almost too sweet at times that it got a little cheesy, I’ll admit. But I liked that he didn’t fight that hard against loving Ellie. Ellie is tough and independent – I didn’t connect with her all that much, but I still enjoyed her character. Jasper and Ellie’s romance had a few surprises I didn’t see coming, but I found myself enjoying their developing relationship and how hard they fought for their love. I would definitely recommend this book for those who like their BDSM on the lighter side and sweet, almost cheesy, romances.
Thanks to the author for generously providing me an ARC to review.

Es más bien 4,5 pero me ha encantado Jasper y Ellie.
Esta mujer mejora por cada libro. Cuando empecé a leer esta serie, y conocí a Flyn, pensé "Madre que hombre más adorafo", pero ha ido mejorando con los libros. Por supuesto me quedo con Hayden (eso ha quedado más que claro).
Empezamos el libro desde donde nos dejó la autora en el anterior (ya he dicho que a esta autora le gusta dejarnos con la miel en los labios, un poco zorrupia ella), con ganas de saber más sobre estas dos personas.
Ha sido un viaje precioso donde se han ido enamorando cada paso, ya se conocían como amigos íntimos, pero han ido descubriendo a lo largo del libro, los sentimientos ocultos tras esa amistad. Me ha parecido muy entrañable, y muy bien llevado por parte de la autora todo el tema del embarazo.
Ellie es una mujer de nuestro tiempo, de 36 años de edad que ha hecho su carrera profesional y donde no ha encontrado una relación estable durante esos años. Se encuentra en una encrucijada, ya que desea ser mamá pero claro, viendo el percal que ha conocido anteriormente, pues tu me dirás como encuentra al "papa" de la futura criatura. Lo que no se espera es encontrarlo en su amigo Jasper.
¿y qué decir de Jasper?. Pues que te sorprende enormemente. Él coge la oportunidad de estar con Ellie, para dejarla embarazada y así estar con ella. Es realmente maravilloso las frases, que salta. Para ponernos en antecedentes, él es británico, alto, rubio con ojos color dorado, con un sentido del humor genial y tremendamente sexy. Que ha calentado las páginas con sus frases y su coletillas. Pensabas que conocías casi todo de él, pero no. Aquí el "señor" tiene alguna cosilla oculta que no veas.
Solamente decir que podía escuchar "darling" y se me hacía la boca agua y otras partes del cuerpo, ejem,.....
Cuando pensabas que estaba todo bien encarrilado, llega la señora y le da tal vuelta, que he estado con ataque al corazón y apunto de solicitar reanimación. No puedo decir más.
Jasper, tú puedes decir a mi cuantas veces quieras " darling", pufff que calor.

Actual Rating: 4.5 Stars
Just when you thought the Quantum series couldn’t get any hotter, M.S. (Marie) Force paired up a sexy British cinematographer and the quintessential California girl, who also happened to be his close friend’s sister. With a set-up like that, you just know it’s going to be a complicated and oh so sinful romance.
“We’re going to fight for this, Jasper. We’re going to fight with everything we have. I’ve waited my whole life for you. I���m not letting you go.”
Force has been on-point with this Quantum series and I swear each book truly does get steamier and sexier. This friends-to-lovers story had a punch of sweetness to it as well. There was something heartening about watching longtime friends Jasper and Ellie finally admit they had feelings for each other and do something about it. But the way that it all happened was where the fun twist came in...

Original Notes:
Another incredibly sexy and emotional romance from M.S. (Marie) Force. Just when you thought the series couldn't get any hotter, along comes friends Jasper and Ellie with their crazy plan to have a baby. To really put Jasper in perspective, picture a proper, sophisticated Brit with a yummy accent hiding a dominant bad boy underneath the bespoke suits. Yep. *fans face* And our heroine Ellie was his match in every way, ready to live the life she wants and take a chance on her longtime crush, Jasper. So. Good. Full review to come.

Just when you thought the Quantum series couldn’t get any hotter, M.S. (Marie) Force paired up a sexy British cinematographer and the quintessential California girl, who also happened to be his close friend’s sister. With a set-up like that, you just know it’s going to be a complicated and oh so sinful romance.

Ellie and Jasper heat up the pages this time around. Don't fret, you’ll still see plenty of the previously introduced characters with updates and there’s lots of interaction between them all. But Jasper will be the one to surprise everyone the most as he’s holding out on his business partners and friends – and readers, of course. He’s kept a whopper secret close to his chest – and another less shocking one that involves his partner’s sister. Of course, nobody will be surprised at Jasper’s sexual escapades, although you’ll be thrilled at how hard and far the mighty do fall when they meet their match. And Ellie is delightful as Jasper’s match! I loved her personality and her determination. What starts out as a simple agreement between two friends (if you call making a baby simple!) ends up a royal romance!
I really liked the romping storyline here – fun, witty, sexy and sweet – and this is erotica. Yes, Force has done it again and done it well with the fifth installment to her Quantum Series.
Highly recommend.

This is the Fifth book in the Quantum Series. I really enjoy this series. These books get down to the nitty gritty; there isn't a lot of fillers or fluff. I really love the characters in all these books. You find yourself rooting for them.
Ellie wants to have a baby, she's tired of waiting for the right one to come along. She decides she's gonna do something about it. While on vacation she confesses to her friend Jasper what she plans to do. He jumps at the chance to give her what she wants but the old fashion way. Boy did the fireworks begin!
While they first agreed to do this legally they realized their feeling were much stronger and always had been. Except Jasper has a secret that could change their lives and he's not willing to put Ellie and their child through it. Like every good couple they try to fight it but in the end love wins out.
I can't wait for the next book! As always Marie Force out did herself. This is a new genre for her and she knocks it out of the park. I love every book she has written. Each unique in every way. I always come back for more.

3.0 RATING- I wasn't planning on reading more in this series after reading the first few and being underwhelmed overall but decided to give this one a chance after reading the blurb and really liking it. Unfortunately, this just fell completely flat for me. The potential was there: a great writer, a story line I loved, but in the end I was just left feeling "meh". I don't think this series is for me. While I do normally prefer more erotic stories, this is one instance where I prefer the author's more contemporary series (Gansett Island) more.

Ravenous was a fantastic read. I enjoyed the plot, subplots and every hint about another possible couple. Yay!
I seriously thought nobody could ever knock Hayden off his pedestal but Jasper did it, right at the beginning of the story. Man, he was so charismatic I could cry and eat lots of chocolate. (Because of the fact he's not real, not out of desperation and sexual frustration... Maybe or maybe not. ;) )

I loved this book! I loved Ellie and Jasper! As I was reading Jasper's parts I would imagine his British accent, and wish I was Ellie. I'm sure if Jasper really did exist, lots of women everywhere would be swooning over his accent. I could picture him saying, "Darling" and "My love". OMG! Jasper and Ellie's chemistry was so hot! I can't wait to read more of this series!

Another win from Ms Force! This book is about Jasper and Ellie, Flynn's sister. It's a great story that has it all: family, the good and the bad, understanding and supportive friends, and a love story for the ages...

Where have I been? This series is a spanking BDSM live wire.
This book will leave you feeling naughty spending time with Jasper and Ellie. Ellie wants a baby. At the age of 35, she decides to stop waiting for Mr. Right and looks for Mr. Right Now to make a baby – the turkey baster way.

Ellie has no idea of Jasper and her brother’s sexual proclivities. Therefore, Jasper knows he is walking a tightrope keeping their BDSM lifestyle secret. However, once Ellie has a taste of the forbidden fruit, Jasper can’t believe his luck. Not only is Ellie acceptable and clueless how the BDSM world works, she is curious and wants to experience certain aspects with him.
The Baby Making Agreement has taken on a whole new meaning. Ellie is having the best sex of her life rather it be at the office, in bathrooms, the BDSM club and of course the Mile-High Club, its packed with mind-blowing and drop your jaw sex-filled romps.
Suddenly, Jasper and Ellie’s “capital infusion” project, the Quantum brand and Jasper’s other life in London become targets for an explosive Hollywood scandal. Band together like brothers, The Godfreys and Jasper race against the clock to prevent their BDSM sex club and lifestyle being exposed to the world.
As Ellie becomes the recipient of the dashing British playboy’s sperm the good ‘ole fashion way, the sparks they generate will take you to subspace and back! This will be an irresistible body tingling read you won’t want to miss!
So, hang on for a dirty and kinky sexual rush as Ellie Godfrey navigates the “baby making agreement” with Jasper Autry and his “John Thomas”. Yeah, that’s right his penis has a name! It’s a nonstop sexual adventure as Jasper and Ellie’s HEA proves when it comes to love, it’s never too late to take a chance.

5 Star Review of Ravenous (Quantum #5) by M.S. Force
This is book 5 in the hugely successful Quantum series and is the story of Jasper Autry and Ellie Godfrey
We were introduced to these characters in the very first book in the series and I have anxiously been waiting, not very patiently for their story.
I particularly enjoy BDSM and was extremely interested to see where this story would lead. I have to say I was not disappointed. M.S. Force weaves a very engaging erotic BDSM story and I loved this book.
Ellie is determined to have the one thing she most wants in the world, a baby and is unfazed that she will be a single mother and that she will require a sperm donor to achieve her goals.
Imagine her absolute shock when her friend Jasper volunteers to supply the “goods” for her baby making plans , under the proviso that they do it the “old fashioned” way.
To say Ellie is gobsmacked is an understatement, she has always been attracted to Jasper but knows that he only feels a deep and abiding friendship for her. Or does he? Jasper is absolutely up for helping Ellie, truth be told he has had the hots for her for a long time but out of respect for their friendship has not pursued her.
Talk about mixed signals; Jasper and Ellie are absolutely perfect together. Their chemistry amazing and honestly this may be my most favourite of the Quantum books to date and that is certainly saying something as I have loved each and every book.
What starts out as a secret agreement between Jasper and Ellie soon morphs into a full on relationship with plenty of sizzling experimentation along the way. Throw in a good for nothing father (Jasper’s), who is determined to ruin his son’s life and who should be ashamed of himself and you have an absolutely wonderful story.
I loved this book from start to finish, it was great catching up on the other couples and I cannot wait until there is another addition to the Quantum series. I highly recommend this book and the series. Although a stand-alone, I feel to get the “story” of the people who make up this group of Quantum people it would be best to read them in order. I know you won’t be disappointed.

I loved Jasper. Could have been the British accent (ok...it was), but he quickly fell into my Marie Force book boyfriend list right behind Vice President Cappuano. Full review to come.

I loved Jasper. Could have been the British accent (ok...it was), but he quickly fell into my Marie Force book boyfriend list right behind Vice President Cappuano.
For this next installment of the Quantum series, we focus on Jasper the cinematographer. We didn't know much about Jasper outside of him being British, worked at Quantum and was close to the principles at Quantum. But with this book, we find out so much more about Jasper.
Elle, Flynn's sister, has decided she's tired of waiting for Mr. Right to have a baby. And when she shares her secret with Jasper, who she's secretly had a crush on) she's surprised when he tells her that he's willing to help her get her baby. His only requirements: the baby is conceived the old fashion way.
Once Elle and Jasper start sleeping with each other, we discover just how torn Jasper is with turning over his child should he and Elle succeed. Despite what he might say, Jasper wants to be a father. He wants to be involved with his child. He just doesn't want his son or daughter saddled with the responsibilities he's been. Seeing Jasper struggle made me love him, but discovering just what he had to overcome to become the man he is today is why he's now on my Marie Force Book Boyfriend list behind the Vice President.
Elle was an easy character to like. I understood why she was taking the course of action she was, but I think her true essence came out when she was helping Jasper come to term with his parents and what's expected of him.
This was a great entry into the Quantum series. I think outside of Flynn's story, this one is my favorite. I can't wait to see what Marie Force has next for these characters.

4.5 stars!
This is the 5th installent in the Quantum series and I am enjoying the heck out of these books one after the other after the other! Every new book H is another one I fall for and I have been enjoying the h’s too!
This book is about Ellie Godfrey (35 and Flynn’s older sister) and Jasper (36) who is now a recent academy award winner for cinematography and is part owner of Quantum (as well as their secret sex club).
This book picks up once again where the last book couple’s book left off (a trend it seems tho if ouf this series). The whole gang is away on vacation and Hayden and Addie have just announced their engagement.
Ellie, who is still single and hearing her internal clock tick, has made the decision to go to a sperm bank to have the baby she’s always wanted. Jasper, who we discover has always carried a torch for Ellie but has never done anything about it since she’s his BF’s sister, discovers her plan and decides that this is his perfect opportunity to get his hands on Ellie and offers her to be her sperm donor, so long as they conceive the old fashioned way.
It seems odd that Jasper would so willingly do this and also willingly sign away all his parental rights but you learn in this book that Jasper has been keeping a big secret and he has reasons for not wanting legitimate children.
Ellie has also had a crush on the handsome, British Jasper so she agrees that they do this in secret. Which leads them on this part of crazy sex and baby making romps that are super sexy! They even get it on with condoms before they get their medicals cleared cause they are so attracted to each other! And their sex? Explosive.
And when Jasper brings out the dom on a curious Ellie, it just gets better and better.
These two started out with hidden feelings for each other and soon, the whole “sex just to make a baby” gets way more complex and real.
But there is something that’s keeping Jasper from taking what he truly wants... and that’s Ellie. He needs to find a way to have her and it all leads to some drama with his family. The drama could affect the whole Quantum team so it’s a rush to sort everything out.
But Ellie (and their potential baby) are worth it.
All in all I loved it!

***Review can also be found at Jackie's Book World. :)***
Ravenous was such a page-turner! Not having ready any other works by the author before, I was impressed with the writing and storyline of the book.
At the beginning of the story we get to meet Ellie Godfrey, not only is she wealthy, but she is also part of the Hollywood's elite. Her family has been in the entertainment industry for so long that she has also started to work in her brother's company. Yet living the live of luxury is not enough for her, she wants something that all her other siblings have, a family. But when you have a family that is famous, people tend to use her to get to her other family members. So Ellie makes a radical decision, to have a child of her own with or without a father figure in her child's life. It is then at a friend's wedding that she confides on one of her best friends that she wants a baby that Jasper Autry offers his help, by doing things the old fashioned way. Now that things got serious, it's up to Ellie to keep her heart intact if she wants to have a child in the end.
When Jasper Autry hears about Ellie's plan, he immediately offers to help her. After knowing each other for so long, he is finally getting the girl that he has liked, but can't completely have. His purpose is to give her a baby without dragging her to his most personal live. A personal live that he has been trying to ignore, but will eventually catch up to him if he is not careful. But as the two of them start to spend more time with each other, the more chemistry seems to evolved around them. It is then that when they least expect it Jasper's past comes back and ready to ruin what they have.
I absolutely loved reading this book, it was filled with steamy and romantic scenes between the characters that had me reading until the very end. It's evident from the start that they both have chemistry, but as they begin to tell each other their deepest secrets things start to change. Ellie is such a strong character in the book, she knows what she wants and is willing to get it no matter what. Her struggle to find the one hasn't worked out for her, but her desire to have a family is much stronger that she is willing to have a baby without a husband. On the other hand, Jasper is smart and good looking. He is also kind and is willing to help Ellie and give her what she wants, without anything in return. Through ups and downs, both Ellie and Jasper will have to decide if they have a shot at relationship or not. Overall, Ravenous was such a great book, the ending was sweet and very fitting of the story. I would highly recommend it. :)

Java Girl's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
3.75 stars
Ravenous, the fifth book in M. Force's Quantum series, is one of my favorite tropes--friends to lovers. It features Ellie Godfrey, older sister of movie star Flynn Godfrey and a Quantum employee, and Jasper Autry, a Quantum principle and award-winning film-maker. I loved Jasper and Eliie. I think they are my favorite couple of the series so far. Jasper is quite charming, witty, thoughtful, and just downright sexy as hell, while Ellie is a woman I’d love to be friends with-she's smart, funny, kind, warm, and handy in a plumbing emergency. They are both genuinely likeable characters, and are perfect together. When Ellie confesses her plans to have a baby to Jasper, he seizes the opportunity to take their friendship to another level. Their relationship moves at warp speed (much like all the relationships in this series), but I found I didn't have an issue with it, since they had been friends for so many years. Jasper's reason for keeping his distance, a secret he's withheld from his closest friends, seemed to have such a simple solution, that it made all the angst and drama seem unnecessary, and felt a bit contrived to me. However, it wasn't completely over the top or unbelievable, so ultimately, I guess it worked well enough.
My biggest issue with this book--the entire series, really--is that it's not as kinky as advertised. While these characters talk about their kink, and think about their past sexual exploits, the sex they’re having in their present, with their heroines, just isn't that kinky. The sex is HOT, and very intense. Not exactly vanilla, but it's not what I think of when I think kink or BDSM. Ms. Force is an amazing writer. One of her strengths, in my opinion, is her ability to create interesting, complex, characters that readers really respond to. The characters in this series, the mains and the supporting cast, are what saves this series for me. Perhaps Ms. Force backed away from her original intention, or maybe her original intention was simply to delve into erotic romance. However, since the Quantum crew are all practitioners of BDSM, I expected a little more. Some important decisions are made in Ravenous which seem to indicate there is some validity to my theory and which are quite a departure from the attitudes presented in the earlier books, especially the first three.
I have enjoyed the last two books in this series quite a lot, and I look forward to seeing where this new direction for the Quantum crew takes us.

The characters in this series, the mains and the supporting cast, are what saves this series for me. Perhaps Ms. Force backed away from her original intention, or maybe her original intention was simply to delve into erotic romance. However, since the Quantum crew are all practitioners of BDSM, I expected a little more. Some important decisions are made in Ravenous which seem to indicate there is some validity to my theory and which are quite a departure from the attitudes presented in the earlier books, especially the first three.
I have enjoyed the last two books in this series quite a lot, and I look forward to seeing where this new direction for the Quantum crew takes us.

Ravenous, while being the 5th book in the Quantum series, is actually the first one of these books that I have read. While im being honest here *looks around in shame* Ravenous is actually the first Marie Force/M.S. Force book I have EVER read. Shhhh.... lets keep that between us, shall we? Im probably being kicked out of numerous reader groups as we speak right now and having my library card revoked. I really wasnt sure what to expect out of Ravenous either but from reading the blurb I deduced that it was going to be erotica mixed with BDSM so yeah... count me in!
The main characters Ellie is well off, quite famous and known around Hollywood. She has a loving family but the one thing she wants is a baby of her own. With her biological clock ticking ever louder in the background, her brother's buddy Jasper makes her an offer she cant really refuse. Hot, sexy, British accent Jasper is going to give her a baby - on his own terms. But its going to be made the old fashion, fun way. (heehee)
I know that Ravenous can be read as a stand alone but I wish I had read the previous books in the series prior to reading it just so I could have had the backstory that went along with the other characters. M.S. Force did a wonderful job of blending the BDSM elements right along in with the romance of the story and showing the two characters fall in love. I can honestly see why as an author she has such a huge following. The depth of both Ellie and Jasper's characters as well as the flow of the story itself made a big impression on me and earned Marie Force another new fan!

Ellie Godfrey is happy for her siblings finding love but it only enhances the knowledge that love for herself has not happened. Ellie decides she is not going to let life pass her by, she plans to have a baby and if love comes later so be it.
Family friend Jasper Autry happens upon Ellie while she is thinking of her plans and when he questions what has brought on her smile, Ellie confesses. Jasper volunteers himself to be the donor, but he has conditions that will require Ellie in his bed. Ellie had no clue Jasper was a dominant man and as his control in the bedroom makes her sizzle. As they settle into a rhythm together, the begin to realize their temporary arrangement is anything but.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The build up between Ellie and Jasper is intense and you can't wait until they get together. Both characters were fantastic, Jasper had a lot more depth than I thought he would had a few surprises about him happen in the story. Great read, definitely a series to pick up.

Man, oh man! THIS BOOK! SOOOO GREAT! *swoon* Ellie and Jasper have been friends for years. She's admired him, unbeknownst to him. And he too has always had his eye on her. So when the opportunity arises to help Ellie out with a baby, Jasper jumps at the opportunity. Cue the chemistry! Friends to lovers stories are the best! They have the history together, but I enjoyed how M.S. Force let things build and didn't put the characters straight to bed.
