Fantastic, hypnotic unputdownable read!! Not enough words to explain the joy it was to read this romance! Silas by S.R. Watson is part one in the Playboy’s Lair series and it is one book you must add to your summer reading list!
Brennan Delavan was born and raised in the Neumann Mansion. Even though she had wealth around her she was on the other end of the house, she would be considered “The Help”. When her mother dies unexpectedly, and when the year of her death’s anniversary comes upon her she is let go of work from the one place she calls home. She is relocated to Florida and unknowingly brought to a yacht to become a housemaid to Mr. Lair.
Silas Lair owns the Playboy Lair, the premier exclusive yacht that caters to the rich, sexually kinky fantasy types. His yacht sets sails at a month’s time, embarking at multiple islands in the Caribbean and each cruise has different sexually oriented themes. A new housekeeper has stepped foot on his boat and he is absolutely intrigued. She is different than the rest of the women who throw themselves at him; especially when she mistakes him for a guest on the wrong part of the ship! He wonders if she can be his fantasy and cater to his whims?
“If she has some untapped fantasies, I’ll make it my mission to explore each one of them.”
Befriending another co-worker, Seth, she feels more at home, but what happens when she learns more about who Seth really is and how he plays into the Playboy Lair? Even though she keeps Silas at a distance, her walls start to crumble when he pulls all the stops to woo her. “No Prince Charming is coming to save me. I have accepted my fate… the life destined for me. How dare he make me want more? How dare he make me want to find out what it feels like to be loved? When exes, mistresses and cousins come into the mix and stir up drama what will happen to their relationship?
Silas is swoon worthy, protective, dominant and ALL ALPHA! I Love me some Silas!
“...when you cross the threshold of my domain, I’m the boss, and I make the rules.” He truly has a heart and wants to love again after hurtful lies. You can feel his dominance through the pages and the chemistry between him and Brennan is very hot! Brennan is tenacious, realistic and yearns to be loved. I absolutely loved this book to no end! Dual POV between the characters which is great to get the true emotions on how each are feeling. Note: Part One does end in a cliffhanger; I am in a cliffhanger-hangover!! I am patiently waiting for part two… hopefully, praying it comes soon!!
6 STARS!!!
