Watching Mine

Rate this book
My name is Nathan Reines, and I’m a voyeur.

I like to watch people have sex. In fact...I get off on it.

There’s nothing more erotic than seeing bodies tighten and tremble, falling over the edge into ecstasy.

Witnessing the desire on their faces makes me hard as steel. Every. Single. Time.

The first time I watched the woman in the apartment across from mine, I knew she was different.

Teased by her gentle caresses and tempted by her silent moans.

Emberleigh has unleashed something in me. A craving for her and her alone.

For two years, I refused to give in to my curiosity. That is, until fate took things in her own twisted hands.

Relationships aren’t usually my style, but she makes me want more than I ever have—makes me want to do more than just watch.

Once I experience Emberleigh in the flesh, I know there’s no going back.

I’m done watching with her with hungry eyes.

I’m ready to feast.

COVER REVEAL -- COMING JANUARY 15TH (I'll update with my cover comments then).

description
description 
descriptionI have to say I have been enjoying this series (I would call it a series but they don't seem to be grouped that way on here?) a whole heck of a lot. There is just something about these characters for all their gloriously kinky ways I find so endearing and likable. They are like one big pseudo-incestuous family. *lol*


description 

So on to the details. I found this one to be well written. This author has such a readable way to her writing. It is a pleasure to dive into one of her books for sure. The pace was perfect. The plot was engaging and kept me turning the pages. It's a relatively quick read. There wasn't any angst or OW/OM drama. The sex scenes were SMOKIN' HOT and plentiful. We have voyeurism, exhibitionism, a threesome, and loads of one-on-one sex. This author knows her way around a sex scene. There were quite a few secondary characters in this one. Couples (and singles) from the previous books make appearances along with a few extras. 


description 

Both the main characters were very likable. Nathan was sexy and sweet. Kinky. Didn't appear to be a manwhore (but wasn't a saint either). In fact, we get little mention of what he had been up to for the past two years he had been watching Emberleigh, but since we know he took part in a threesome in an earlier book and I assume that was less than two years ago, I doubt he was twiddling his thumbs *lol* Emberleigh was a great heroine. I actually have little to say about her. She was perfect for Nathan. She was sweet and had a big heart. Her past made me want to hug her (and beat her parents with a bat...more about that in the side note). Last, it was all wrapped up in a good (not great) ending. I wanted a bit more. A longer look into the future for this couple.

SIDE NOTE: SOOOO...OMG did I want to smack the shit out of Emberleigh's parents. For most of the book, they seemed nice. Kind. Supportive, but when you find out what happened in her past, well I could not BELIEVE what they did. I'll put it in spoiler tags so enter at your own risk! OK mini rant over...*lol*description

Genre: Erotica
POV/s: First-person, dual
Writing style: 3/5

Nathan Reines has an obsession: he’s been spying on his neighbor for two years. Emberleigh lives in the building directly across from his and even though he’s the creator of Reines Security firm and should be too busy juggling his company to be so swayed by this woman, she becomes the centerpiece of his fantasies. He knows her personal schedule like the back of his hand and his close friends know about his special interests also because they’re cut from the same cloth.

This is a very sexually charged novel! Almost every other page (of Nathan’s POV) is lined with the thoughts of him masturbating or thinking of satisfying some sexual itch. His thoughts are raunchy but he’s only a peeping Tom and a far cry from being a murderer or stalker like the male leads in You and Watch Me.

There’s quite a bit of background info given on the side characters so it’s easy to get the gist of their roles without reading the first two books in this series. That said, these secondary characters are a tiny bit deviant very interesting so I may need to check out their stories as well.

Issues?
The chemistry was instant, sizzling, and undeniable when Nathan and Emberleigh met! Their libidos even mirrored each other! But while Nathan and Emberleigh spoke the language of sex to each other and connected on that level as simply as breathing, their dialogue on other topics was stilted. They were still getting to know each other even towards the very ending of the book, although they had mastered knowing the needs of each other’s bodies.

Although this novel sort of glorified sexual addiction and hypersexual behavior, there was a little bit of tenderness sandwiched within. Emberleigh’s backstory was a sad one and Nathan seemed genuinely interested in protecting her. I just wasn’t convinced that they were completely in love with each other. I believed Emberleigh was infatuated with Nathan but his dysfunctional way of thinking didn’t convince me that his obsession had morphed into true love.

► By the end of this book I was thoroughly convinced that the author could’ve included a few housekeeping scenes, as there was quite a bit of bodily fluids spilling, leaking, being spread and manipulated, exposed to all sorts of surfaces and in different settings...

RrPYm.gif

The revelation at the end surprised me in a good way and the epilogue rounded out this story nicely!

► Happy reading!

RATING: 3 stars to Hungry Eyes ★ ★ ★

‘For each two steps I take, Emberleigh takes one back. Not to get away, the heat in her eyes says she wants me just as bad, but because I’m sure my eyes are conveying a need so strong her subconscious is warning her to be cautious.’

“There’s nothing more erotic than watching a woman come undone at the hands of a man.”


An atypical, highly provocative, densely salacious story that gives voice to sensual, sexual proclivity. A taboo sensation that tests the temperament by eclipsing the practice of conventional romance. Alex Grayson carves a niche where taboo trumps like a dreaming demon poised to hypnotise, equipped to deceive a heavenly come-hither.

Hungry Eyes by Alex Grayson is book three in the unequivocally erotic Consumed series. It also happens to be my first leap into an Alex Grayson novel and I feel all the more perversely wayward for coating my limbs in the most lubricious of aphrodisiacs, while my eyes took on a hunger just like Nathan’s. Hungry Eyes is Nathan’s territory - the story of a man who lives the enamoured life of a voyeur. With a penchant for watching people unravel as their pleasure unfolds, he’s had a singular fascination that has occupied his interest for two years.

Emberleigh has unknowingly broken the brackets of Nathan’s voyeuristic fascination because she’s been the object of his most aching desires and carnal cravings, all of which are best fed in the dark and sourced through a sheet of glass that pits the line of fantasy and reality. One Nathan will never breach. So pick up his trusty binoculars he will and enjoy the best entertainment there is…

Nathan is content to watch, never to approach Emberleigh, satisfied with the distance his fantasy creates. Not once has he entertained a meeting with the woman he has watched with insatiably hungry eyes. The many facets of a voyeuristic affliction multiply - watching, sensing, anticipating, feeling because the mystery woman becomes an addiction as well as a vision of carnal imagination.

I’m impressed with the ideas that run through this series. I haven’t personally read this complete series of standalones but I’ve gathered enough resource to know that this is indeed a special brand of erotic romance with its own wayward flavour. The cover? Stunning. The drink mimics the green of absinthe - fitting for this story of forbidden flavour. The characters? Likeable, interesting and sexy. The Story? Easy to read, easy to devour. The premise? Imaginative and different The sex? Just order a selection of fans to disperse around your person or you may very well be dead by orgasmic bliss by sunrise.

Though there are two other books prior to this, it’s not necessary to read them if you want to dive straight in to any of these novels of naughty temptation. From what I understand, Nathan and his friends met through sex therapy many years ago for their rather individual sexual fetishes/addictions but soon decided to support each other themselves...whatever that support may look like. They are an atypical found family of sorts who were brought together by their respective vices and mollify each other’s fetishes (if you understand my meaning). From what I gather, they’re a tight unit who care for each other deeply. However, the gang of sexual mavericks in each book all intermingle and find space in each others’ stories.

Sexual fetishes aren’t always painted in the most savoury or palatable of lights. It’s easy to frown upon or discredit something you don’t understand and this subject can receive a lot of shade, but the author admirably uses her writing space to humanise people with forbidden propensities just by writing about them, and from what I understand this is a series that normalises the adversity of sexual affliction with the glaring, inescapable habits and situations that these characters make very obvious. Now, this story doesn't make a point of justifying obsession itself as Nathan himself accepted that rather unorthodox part of himself long ago, it's tied into his history, his upbringing and that which he was exposed to at a very tender age. So very much a facet of his character. It's not even about his need for acceptance as he doesn't require that too. It's more about his finding a person and partner that accepts him even though a conventional relationship has never appealed to him; a love to be found through obsession and a chemistry that opens up an extremely satisfying experiences for Emberleigh and Nathan both.

The author forms connectives between abuse, childhood trauma and variations of unorthodox upbringing that might play into unconventional sex practices in a adulthood. I think this is important to note too. These characters like what they like and want what they want. There’s no censorship. No running away from these risque characters and what they love to do and how they live their lives. While this story brims with erotic content, it also considers some emotional bonds. My best advice? Just enjoy it.

Though everything I’ve said above is also true, there were some problem areas (for me) that I want to address. First of all, I did enjoy Nathan as a character. He’s loyal and alpha-dominant but surprisingly sweet and supportive with Emberleigh when the suspense of her terrible past is referenced. He gives Emberleigh safe space to prod her own hidden vices.

I also appreciated Emberleigh - she’s emotionally strong, has a past which motivates the decision to make a devoted life for herself. These two are a furnace of heat whenever together; their sexual chemistry was well-mastered. They’re written well, interesting and easy to read with some mystery, secrets and emotion that slides between them. My problem though? Their relationship was a bit deficient and needed more development. I'm aware that erotica as a theme takes precedence here, but if you’re going to integrate a romance, as a reader, I’m going to need more.

If you’re looking for angst or drama, you won’t get it with this book. It’s decidedly and relatively tension free. A bit disappointing if you ask me because challenges test the mettle of a relationship so I needed more to believe and understand how these two might work and survive as a couple. Granted this twosome have some sweltering, off-the-charts chemistry, you’d have to expect as much from an erotic romance but they were still very much in the initial stages of knowing each other at the end of the book. The conclusion acts as more of a beginning for them.

I wanted more from them as a couple because the epilogue was also not enough - it was focused on one thing particularly and didn’t explore the future enough. Aside from that, we have a Nathan’s friends who all have solid relationships with their significant others, and I felt that our main characters’ relationship paled in comparison to the bonds around them even though I was more invested in them, what with this being their story. *sad face*

I loved the sexy scenes - zero disappointments there. But I did have some issues with the multiple partner situations. I don’t mind menage or group sex scenes, but only if I am reading a reverse harem or polygamous romance. We know Nathan is a voyeur, that he likes to watch. Well, he also likes to Watch Emberleigh with other men. My own brand of reader possession means that I like my romances monogamous and my MC’s sexually allegiant to each other so I felt conflicted on that front. I was two-minded with certain situations because the sensitive, cavernous, dreamy parts of me that crave starry-eyed romanticism and utopian idealism rebelled at the fact that these two crossed certain lines, even though it was to be expected, given the theme. Nathan’s sexual choices are made clear enough but I also found the irony in his not minding other men enjoying his partner when he has more of a dominant, protective temperament.

Time to move on to a more pressing matter though. I can’t quite label this a love story, even though some readers might consider it to be. I kept asking, How can I buy into any story of supposed love when the lines between love and infatuation may very well become blurred? Is this a novel where love masquerades as infatuation? Nathan has a history of sexual experience, but he’s a man who has never been in love. He’s not known for him capacity for emotional intimacy, and his lack of lovelorn experience and exposure with emotional intimacy leads me to believe he may potentially misinterpret what a loving relationship really is, and what that looks like. He’s a connoisseur of bodily pleasure and skin deep seduction, but his warped upbringing may have bred a man that mistakes the deviation between lust and love. A man is not defined by his demand for kink, and this is true of Nathan, so with that mind I wanted to read more of Nathan the man. I think love might look a little different to him, take another appearance. I wasn’t confident that his feelings migrated from lust/fascination to love. But perhaps they did, and I’m missing something....

There comes a point when fantasy is no longer enough. What will a man do when that sheet of glass shatters his once-sided fantasy and his binoculars are no longer needed? When proximity has the root of his pleasure right in front of his hungry eyes?
An erotic promise of gratification traces a couple who fluently speak the language of bodily fascination. Wanton, deviant, ambrosian, Hungry Eyes imbues a reader with their own set of starved, wandering eyes.

Trigger Warning: This is a very adult book with taboo, sexual situations including a few descriptive one-on-one sex scenes, a menage and voyeur-ish attitudes/situations as our two main characters like to watch. Profanity and past mentions of gang rape, sexual/physical abuse, neglect and drug use.

So much for me reading a few chapters before bed. I’ll never learn when authors like Alex Grayson can write a book that I just can’t put down.

Nathan is a voyeur. He enjoys watching people pleasure themselves and having sex. He has been watching Emberleigh in the apartment across from his for two years. When fate intervenes he realises he wants more than to watch her from afar.

This is a super hot read. I absolutely loved it. The storyline is pure perfection and I loved the characters. I’m so looking forward to reading more from this author.

This was my first read from this author but won't be my last.

Seriously hot storyline with sex clubs, voyeuristic neighbours and chemistry so hot your kindle could melt. Definitely great erotica. But I equally enjoyed the storyline. Great characters, dual POV and lots of genuine emotion to round out the deliciously dirty story.

I received an ARC of this book

Its not even him watching her from his window that made me dnfed. I knew from the blurb that Nathan had been watching his neighbour (the heroine) from his window for 2 years. Its the mfm scene that was made me dnf. I have nothing against a menage scene or group sex scene when I am reading a complete erotica. In fact i find them extremely hot. But when there is romance involved I want my MCs to be monogamous.

So while a part of me was very turned on at those very sexy scenes, the hopeless romantic in me wasn't happy at all, she was very disappointed and annoyed. But guess what I find the most eye rolling and ridiculous?? Its a trend I have seen in other erotic romance that I simply can't comprehend. So the hero absolutely enjoys seeing the heroine get fingered and "eaten" by OM, he also loves seeing her suck OM but the thought of OM sticking his dick in the heroine suddenly has him mad! SAY WHAT!?😂😂🙄🤦‍♀️ So you really enjoy seeing the love of your life have oral sex and do other sexual activities with other men but somehow just penetrative vaginal sex makes you mad. I don't get it. Come on!? Oral sex is still sex. In fact I find oral sex more intimate than penetrative sex.

Favorite Quotes:

I just wonder how far on the crazy bus I’m willing to go and if I’ll make it out unscathed at the end of the journey.

… she steals a part of me that I never knew was up for grabs.

You watching me made me feel special in a weird sort of way, like you found me good enough just by looking at me.

My Review:

Sizzle and snap, this book was atomically hot. Knowing from the synopsis that the main character was a voyeur, I was afraid it was going to be creepy, but somehow it wasn’t. This was my first experience reading the author and despite it being the third book of a series, the story stood perfectly fine on strong legs. Each book features a different individual from a group of four friends who had met several years prior while attending a sexual addiction therapy class, a class they had quickly decided to discontinue as they supported each other. Their various preferences seemed to conveniently mesh and dovetail when pinch-hitters were needed, as one liked to watch and several liked to be watched, and I was still waiting for the creep factor. Somehow this wily author made it all appear perfectly acceptable and it seemed to have worked for them as they had each found their own niche with a loving partner. Watching Mine was cleverly woven with wanton erotic scenes, public exposure, expletives, and unconventional family structures, endearing flawed characters, and a surprisingly sweet romance. The storyline was highly sensual, salacious, mesmerizing, and provocatively called forth sharp visuals and the need to frequently sip cool libation - oh my. You could save on your heating bill by reading this one, possibly even during blizzard conditions.

Watching Mine is the latest book by author Alex Grayson and I am kicking myself for not discovering this author sooner.

Watching Mine is one of the best reads of voyeurism I have run across. Nathan has been watching Emberleigh for quite some time. After a chance encounter he finally gets up close and personal with the object of his desires.

This book was a fast paced dirty read. There was never a drag in the book and I definitely wasn't bored wanting to skim. I devoured every sexy dirty detail this author wrote. Alex Grayson is so talented at bringing to life a little taboo that gets a reader panting to see what this couple will do next. While they both have secrets they are keeping from each other there wasn't that much angst in the story. It was just a pure fun, sexy story that had a little bit of everything for everyone.

I want more from this author and I am definitely going to check out her earlier work.

description
Nathan Reines is a voyeur. He loves to watch the desire and pleasure as others have sex. He's never wanted a relationship. Watching is all he needs most of the time. When he starts watching the woman across from his apartment, he feels something changing. He can see more with her, but he'll watch until fate intervenes and throws her in his path.

Emberleigh has a very busy life. She doesn't spend much time home between work, school and her family. She had no shame in the pleasure she found in herself, with her curtains open. Did she realize she was being watched? I loved the way she opened up to Nathan once they met. They were really great together and she found things about herself she never would have realized without him.

With a group of friends with various sexual deviations, Nathan worries a little that it may be too much for Emberleigh. Emberleigh has some hidden desires though, and with Nathan's help, she'll realize them all. At first I was a little iffy with the whole watching thing. It kind of annoyed me, but I knew what I was getting into with this book. I ended up loving Nathan! I loved Emberleigh from the beginning. The love and torment she put herself through from the guilt she held onto from things that happened when she was younger weighed heavily on her. I think Nathan helped her more than she could ever imagine, and vise versa.

This book was damn hot! The pages were smoking and the story line kept me flipping those pages as fast as I could. I loved watching (lol) Nathan and Emberleigh flourish as a couple and open up to one another. They both had secrets they held from each other and were scared to open up. While Nathan's was obvious, Emberleigh's kind of shocked me. The only thing I wish for was a little more story at the end. It just felt a little rushed, but still tied up nicely. I've loved this series and was ecstatic to finally read Nathan's story!

Well, uh, yeah.

Nathan. Damn. I don't really have words to describe the hotness of that man. Hell, any of the people in this book. Tegan, Colt, Nathan? Wyatt? Those men are all sorts of fuckhot and I want one in my bed.

Or plastered against the window, in the alley, on the couch with my best friends getting it on next to me. Whatever.

But to focus on Nathan and Emberleigh, let's just say they are so much fun. The chemistry is off the charts, the voyeurism, the exhibitionism, the sexuality that drips from the pages. Yeah, these two have it in spades.

So, what are you waiting for? Go out and read Watching Mine by Alex Grayson. It's hot AF.

Wow! I really enjoyed this story💓 This is the third book in this series but in no way do you feel like you are missing anything. Although it is always nice to have back stories, you do get what you need to keep this story going.

Nathan loves to watch people. Mostly people having sex. So when he sees the girl across the way doing just that and he can't get her out of his mind, he knows he is in trouble.

Emberleigh is a student, med-worker, daughter and a girl who has some dirtiness and secrets inside her. So when she meets Nathan things start getting steamy and dirty fast.

This book took me to a couple places I didn't expect. The sex in this book is beyond most things but written very well. I loved the characters and their personalities. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review💞

It's kind of intriguing learning your own limits or...lack of limits through the needs of others.

Watching Mine is Nathan's story. Within this tight circle of "misfit" friends, I always thought of Nathan as an outsider in his own way. He isn't. But it was easy to mislabel someone I couldn't comprehend...until now.

As hot as this series is, it also helps bring awareness in a non "after school special kind of way." It brings to light struggles that are so very real and needs others have. In an odd way, that comforts me.

However, do not think for one minute that the comforting is all this book has to offer. No, this book is HOT. Nathan's needs are different from that of his friends and complicated for some. His "hobby" might not be so easy to explain to the one woman who had made him hope.

Join the "misfits" in this adventure and all the others. I have a feeling that you will be Always Wanting and may even Bare Yourself but you will definitely enjoy Watching Mine.

This is Nathan’s story what you find out fairly quickly in the story that he is a voyeur he likes to watch people have sex.

One night he sees Emberleigh in her bedroom this part me slightly uncomfortable because he watches her through binoculars and he gets off on it.

Nathan is driven, successful and makes no apologies for how he lives his life. Emberleigh is a bit of a mystery she’s a young woman with secrets. The two meet in a club and it starts off as a series of encounters but they have a connection that’s not purely sexual.

This was an enjoyable read and unlike some books in this genre has a good back story.

I hadn’t read the read the other books in this series but wow! While at times it made me feel dirty (in an amazing way) I also felt hot and bothered. This book is hot in so many way, but the characters felt natural. Nathen was so sweet and Possessive when it came to Emberleigh. She was so in touch with her self even if her past made her seem sad.

The whole plot has these amazing characters and the plots for each of them, their fetishes, we’re unique and I can’t wait to read more of them. You pretty much know how the store is going to go from the description, but the entire journey was more than I could ever imagine. I really did love it. If you want something unique that will burn up your kindle, then this book is for you. 5 Stars #2OCCJD

So hot! I loved Nathan! He was so alpha! He knew what he wanted, and what he wanted was Emberleigh. He loved watching her without her knowing. When they meet, it's even hotter. Their chemistry was so intense. Will Emberleigh still want to be with Nathan after she learns the truth? I am loving this series by Alex Grayson, and can't wait for the next book.

Watching Mine


This was another great read in this continuing series. I have to say that I really love this author's writing. I was glued to the story from the very first pages and never put the book down until I was finished it. This was one hot as he'll read!

The sparks and the chemistry and those sizzling dark looks were evident from the moment their eyes met. Emberleigh and Nathan's chemistry was off the charts and if you were standing in a room with them, you could feel the heat up close and personal. There is a secret each one is holding back from voicing but, what neither realizes is that they have been doing a sensual dance between them for some time now.

I loved the characters from the onset of the story, as they both were easy to like and love. I have to mention that I love the other characters in this series as well, and that I love the amazing relationship that they have with one another. Since their first meeting, they were fast friends who shared similar sexual desires and play together when the need arises and are able to play with those they trust.

Emberleigh turned out to be my favorite character. I just loved how she just let her sexual inhibitions go when she knew someone was watching. I love how she was willing to explore a side of herself she never knew existed, a little bit at a time. She never really thought she would enjoy, but, realized it only enhanced her own sexual desires. And with the past she has had to overcome, to put that much in a man she barely knows was a huge stepping stone for her.
I found her to be sexy as sin, love-able, bright, loving, sensual as well as sexual, and you got to love her for the scarifies she has made on behalf of another.

Nathan OMG! That man was hot as hell!. Voyeurism was his kink! That man was sex on a stick for sure and someone to definitely make a girl's panties wet just by staring right into those smoldering dark eyes of his. I loved the heat he created when with Emberleigh, and most of all loved the possessiveness she brought out in him. This was definitely a first for this player. How the mighty fall...LOL If I wasn't half in love with Nathan myself already when we learned Emberleigh's secrets, and he stood by her, I would have been right then and there from that moment on. That man melted my heart !

We loved this sizzling read from cover to cover, and this was one highly erotic read that has you fanning yourself more than once throughout this story.

HOT HOT HOT

A recommended read to all, as well as the other books in this series. This author writes great erotica reads and is one of my go-to authors when I am in for one really hot and scorching read. This story moves to the keeper pile.

Well Done!

This was a very hot read. 4 stars.

Emberleigh...that girl killed me. The stuff with her past, and the way her parents contributed to it, yikes. I know we're supposed to think they're good parents, doing her a favor, but the truth of the matter is, they treated their daughter like garbage over something not her fault. Bad decisions don't deserve the torment she received. I did question some of her decisions though in this story, especially when it came to Nathan. But seeing as Nathan was very concerned for her well-being, I'm letting it slide, even though it did bother me a bit once all the truth came out.

Nathan was interesting. His history was definitely abusive, if not in the traditional way. A child should never be exposed to what he was exposed to. I don't know if he'd grown up differently if his view of relationships and life and people would be different, but yeah. I loved how possessive he was of Emberleigh though. The way he was the type to not have that commitment because of his own issues, but suddenly this woman comes along and changes all that.

I do wish there would have been more to the end. Once everything was revealed I wanted more. More years down the line or something. Still a good read.

I've read a few books by Alex Grayson that a absolutely loved including this one Watching Mine would be the first story I read in this series I plan to read about the couples that are mentioned throughout this book . Watching mine starts off with a very steamy scene that leads to very very very erotic sex scenes that mainly include voyeurism which I found super HOT . This is told in dual point of view , no drama at all , sad backstories for the hero and heroine , story line that had me hooked from start to finish , and secondary characters that are so lovable to were I can't wait to get started on their journeys . Nathan is oh so yummy I really enjoy to read a heroes point of views and to get inside his head and how he viewed the heroine in such a beautifully sexy way . So wasn't expecting Emberleigh's back story my heart hurt for her and the things she still hasn't overcome but with a little help from the hero she does a couple things she never thought she'd do . Them as a couple is perfect with off the charts chemistry you could really feel the connection they had through my kindle . I can't wait to read more by Alex Grayson she writes emotionally charged romances If you haven't read her Jaded series I highly suggest that you do with a box of tissues .

Watching Mine by Alex Grayson is part of her standalone Consumed Series. They are about interconnected friends, but can be read separately and let me tell you, this was hot and steamy!

Nathan Raines is a voyeur. He loves to watch others have sex. Nothing turns him on more than to witness another’s pleasure. He has no qualms about who he watches, except there is one person that entices him more than anything or anyone else ever has.

For two years, Nathan has watched the woman who lives across from him. Something about her seems different and tempts him to want more than he ever wanted before. Then he finally sees her and knows that watching her from afar will no longer be enough. He must have her as well.

Let me tell you, this is one sexy and steamy read! Once Nathan meets Emberleigh, all bets are off. They have instant and magnetic chemistry. It was off the charts what these two had! But Emberleigh has so much on her plate already. But once they meet, things get hot and heavy quickly.

I do not think I can say this enough, this was such a hot and steamy read! Also, read the blurb, you know Nathan likes to watch, so make sure this is your cup of tea, but if it is, the story and characters will pull you right in. The chemistry was insane and added so much to the story! I am looking forward to going back and reading the other two books now!

Watching Mine by Alex Grayson This is my first book by Alex and what a book it was. Watching Mine is the third book in the series, which I didn’t realise at the time, but having said that it is easily read as a stand alone though the other characters intrigue me so I will have to check out the other books.
Nathan is a voyeur and loves nothing more than watching people have sex, and for the past 2 years he has been watching his neighbour from the darkness of his apartment. A chance encounter with said neighbour, twice in one day no less, makes him yearn for her in way he never thought of before.
This book is definitely a hot read, that despite your best efforts, will leave you hot and bothered. I loved Nathan and is unconventional kink, which yes is not to everyone’s taste but that is the beauty of this series each character has their own and Grayson certainly did an outstanding job at telling Nathan’s story.

This was one hot and sexy story that I loved! I mean, come on...which one of us can honestly say that they don't have at least a little voyeur in them??
I really appreciated that there was a solid story line to it though, it wasn't just a quick & dirty story about just sex. Nathan found himself drawn to Emberleigh for a long time before he even met her. And then once he met her, he found himself admiring things about her that he'd never even noticed in other women before. He was possessive and protective, and just really had a sweet side to him that you didn't expect!
I loved this, I think anyone who enjoys really sexy romance books, should read this!

Do you like steam coming off your pages? If you like your books erotic this is for you.

Nathan and Emberleigh are both sexy, confident characters doing what pleases them, yes its a little kinky but its hot.

Nathans friends are all members of the 'kinky club', its not a bdsm club just in case your wondering, its more a discrete sex club.

I liked the sexy side but loved watching them need each other in more ways too.

Erotic and sexy mixed with romance.

This was definitely a HOT read. And not only was it hot it dealt with some serious issues. When Nathan finally gets to hook up with his neighbor I thought that was going to be it. But Em brought out something in him, something he didn't know he wanted. The passion they have will set the pages on fire. But it's also more to them. She gets to explore a side of herself she didn't know she had. But she also does the same for him. I love these 2.

I have been waiting patiently for Nathan's book and I was not disappointed! I love his loyalty to his friends and his no apology attitude for his lifestyle! I love that once again Alex Grayson took characters that have lived through difficult situations and challenging lifestyles and shown us that we are not held back by our tragedies, or life circumstances. We can make the best out of life even when faced with challenges! Emberleigh is a strong independent woman that is able to match Nathan's intensity in all ways! Not to mention this book is downright HOT! Nathan kicks the action up a notch or two from the previous books and they were already on fire! You might even need a little cooling off before this one is over! I cannot wait for the next book in the series!

Watching Mine by Alex Grayson is dirty and sinfully romantic! I could not put this book down!

If you love books more on the 'extremely sexy' side of the romance scale then I recommend this book. If you like your romances more tame and less erotic then you should probably read at your own risk.

Watching Mine is a taboo story about a man (Nathan) who is a voyeur. Nathan is a hot as hell character. I found him very intriguing. I loved how his inner alpha shines when it comes to Emberleigh.

Emberleigh lives in the apartment across the street from Nathan's. After a series of run ins and a few sexy hookups the two grow closer not only physically but also emotionally.

Nathan is keeping what could be a relationship destroying secret from Emberleigh. But what he doesn't know is that Emberleigh has her secrets also.

I really enjoyed Watching Mine. I loved Emberleigh and Nathan's relationship. I loved how they were each others constant and the only angst came from their background stories. However, the confessions I felt were a little rushed and the emotions portrayed in this particular scene where a tad bit unrealistic. In my opinion, that was the only hiccup I encountered through this novel.

Watching Mine is a book about a man named Nathan Reines. He is a voyeur and likes to watch people have sex. I really didn't know much about voyeurism, but know much more after reading this book. His favorite subject to watch was a girl in the apartment building across the way from his apartment building. Every Tuesday for two years, he would sit by his window, with binoculars and watch the show. She was quite the exhibitionist, and I couldn't help but wonder why she didn't just close her blinds or curtains. Obviously she did not care. Her name was Emberleigh, and I think it is a beautiful name. He didn't know what her name was till he actually spied her in the flesh with clothes on. He had friends that were in to kinky sex, too. Colt/Abby & Tegan/Willow were all on-board with this life style. After fate brought Emberleigh into his actual life, it wasn't long till she was one of the gang. They are both keeping secrets however, and both wonder if their “relationship” will end when all is revealed. Maybe it's my age, but I found this all cringeworthy.

Riley'i ararken denk geldim. neden olmasın dedim.

tamam erotik bişi demiyorum ama hiç mi bişi olmaz bi kitabın içinde rabbül alemin. en azından komik, eğlenceli, cliffhangerlı fln olabilirdi (güya var da tahmin etmemek elde değil) ama yok anca kinky.

ayrıca fazla türüne göre uzun.

şöyle de bi saçmalık var:

seri zaten 4 cinsel rahatsızlığı bulunan arkadaşı içeriyor, izlenme fetişi, seks bağımlısı, izleme fetişi (bu kitap) ve role-playing. grup terapisi seansında tanışmışlar sonra da sikerim böyle işi demişler. bence mantıklı.

elimde alexa riley, jade west, jenica snow kalmadığımda okuyacağım sanırım asdasdfadsf

This was my first read for the author and I was told it could be read as a stand alone even though it's Book 3 of the series. I didn't feel like I lost anything by not reading the first two books, and I'm definitely going to be checking them out. It's a well written, solidly executed story. There are some creepy moments, but the male lead, Nathan, is a voyeur, so there has to be some sort of creep factor. I love that Nathan and his three best friends, also all sexual "deviants", are close and actually there to help each other out. They aren't just there to feed each other's addictions, but also family like. The main female, Emberleigh, has a little bit of a period of a sordid past, but the level of focus on that past prior to the full reveal doesn't over take the story. If you take the plunge into this book, as you get towards the end, you might question when is the author going to wrap things up. Well don't worry, the ending is neatly wrapped up, no cliff hangers here. I had a couple minor issues with the wrap up, but telling could possibly ruin the ending, so I'll keep them to myself.
