Caress: An Unconventional Contemporary Romance

Touch Series #4

by Anna Ellis

One woman. One couple. Everything she's afraid to want.
Kenna never expected to fall for two people.

After a painful divorce, she'd promised herself she'd never risk her heart again. But meeting Iliya changed everything. Confident and adventurous, Iliya has awakened feelings Kenna never knew she had.

And then there's Del.
Charming. Devoted. Completely irresistible. And until now, completely off-limits.

Kenna has hidden her attraction to Iliya's husband from the beginning. But when Iliya hints that Del might not be as forbidden as Kenna believed, everything changes. The future she never dared imagine might be possible.

But wanting two people is one thing; admitting those feelings—even to herself—is another.

Can Kenna open her heart, or will fear keep her from everything she wants?

Caress is an emotional, steamy contemporary romance about secret longing and unexpected possibilities.

Reviews

[Douglas Williamson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Everyone has secrets and a past. The question is, can they move past them?

This nine book series is actually three sets of three, with each person providing their view as the relationship develops. This is Book Four of the series, which provides Kenna's perspective as the relationship continues to develop.

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.

Caress is the 4th book in the Touch series. Anna Ellis, as always, writes erotica that makes you think. She develops her characters well, and (usually) puts them into realistic situations. The FMC is Kenna, the 20-something "unicorn in-training" to fulfill a wealthier couple's (Del and Iliya) polyamory desires. The author goes deep into Kenna's character and reveals her inner thoughts. As a result, this story is a fairly intelligent drama, and not pulp fiction smut.

For those of you erotica fans looking for a cheap thrill, this isn't the book for you. There's a few steamy scenes on the page, but they simply support the story, they're not the whole story.

Mixed Signals

For as hot as things get between Iliya Smoak and Kenna MacTavish, the more time we spend with Iliya, the less I like her. At this point, I'm hoping that Delancey "Del" Ecker will leave her and start a quiet, yet happy and fulfilling life with Kenna or anyone else.

Her touch awoke something long dormant. Her caress woke up a part of me I didn’t know existed.
-- Kenna MacTavish

I do love how Kenna stands up for herself with her sister and does the right thing when it comes to communication with Del and Iliya, even if that doesn't always end well.

I read this as part of the Caress - Three Book Collection .
