Barely Breathing: Book One

This is the first book of the Barely Breathing Series another wild and wicked story with a delicious mix of romance and deep passion by Lucia Jordan. Six months after breaking up with her dead-end boyfriend, Jenna Clare is ready to date again. After her best friend Emily suggests she figure out first what she wants from a man, Jenna makes a wish list of all her secret, sexiest fantasies involving one of her handsomest customers, investment banker Eric Monroe. While he’s wealthy and successful, Eric’s ripped, muscular body, stern blue eyes and quiet voice are what always make her insides melt – not that he’d ever want someone as ordinary as her. Then she loses her sexy wish list. Jenna then discovers that her favorite customer, the sternly handsome banker Eric Monroe, has found it, and wants to make them all come true – as long as she’s willing to submit to his dominating desires.

Since releasing her first romance book in 2012, Lucia Jordan has done more than just write stories. She has helped define a genre. As a pioneer of the digital romance revolution, Lucia has penned hundreds of sizzling titles, delighted millions of readers, and earned thousands of five-star reviews. Her ability to blend emotional depth with uninhibited passion has made her a household name, with her hit novel Rock Hard earning a coveted nod as the #1 must-read erotic novel by Women's Health magazine.

But Lucia’s passion extends beyond the page. As the creative force and founding author behind Wild Hearts Romance, she is a champion for the indie community, dedicated to lifting up new voices in a genre she calls powerful, valid, and necessary. She writes for the dreamers and the risk-takers to craft stories that leave nothing to the imagination and remind us all that everyone deserves a happily-ever-after.

When she isn’t fantasizing about her next spicy scene or advocating for fellow writers, Lucia can be found in her sanctuary, a cozy garden gazebo in the Pacific Northwest. It is here that she retreats with her literary trio of cats, Ursula, Colette, and Daphne, to let her imagination wander. With a cup of tea in hand, she dreams up the sizzling plotlines and unforgettable adventures that have made her a bestseller.

When Jenna Clare secretly wrote down her sexual fantasies on the back of an order form she had no idea that the very man who inspired her fantasies, Eric Monroe would not only find it but make all of her sexual fantasies come true! In the end, they both learned that their burning passion would burn until it ignited into a forever love.

Fitting Title!

The last book of Lucia's I read was Seduce Me and I didn't think the title fit.
But this book has the right title. I forgot to breathe sometimes while I was reading it. Lol
Lucia has written so many books, she may be running out of title ideas.
If you have read her other books, you will like this one.

She's Not The Only Dreamer

This is the entertaining beginnings of a series about a young woman learning about her sexual bounds with the man of her dreams. Is she going to be brave enough to continue. Enjoy I did.

My third quick & dirty story of this session ... I might have given it another star if it didn’t feature a dominant & a submissive. I am not really into that scene (and yet I finished reading this freebie even after discovering that!).

Ms. Jordan knows how to write hot stuff!
