Her mother destroyed his parents' marriage and he had vowed to destroy her before they even met. She was the enemy's daughter after all. But their first meeting didn't go as planned. Instead of the manipulative little schemer he'd been expecting, he found an innocent little lamb instead. Or was that too an act? Part of her ploy to draw him in and make a fool out of him, the way her mother had done to his old man? Whatever her game he couldn't seem to resist her and it wasn't long before he was caught under her spell, trapped in the same lure that had brought down his dad, or was she what she seemed? An innocent caught in a web of lies and deceit?
Well,I haven't read a JS book in some time and this one looked promising.I must say it was a good read and the usual hot sex scenes burned up the pages.As always,the trusty ruler came out so I can attempt to visualize this guy's 12 inch business partner!!! And ladies we have an OUCH!!!I was entertained!!
Same old story as always. Didn't like the Hero. For me he was an ass. Needed to "claim" her virginity after knowing her 2 days. Yay! Heroine didn't have anything interesting to say. She just followed the Hero. So bland. Safe with a happy end.
I read this last month before the holidays, so this review isn’t the freshest. It was short and not super OTT compared to some of her other stuff. (this one has a plot) The book starts with the H Luke hellbent on getting revenge on his father’s new evil mistress. She shows up with her daughter, Elaina making him second guess his plans.
There’s not a ton of substance because we’re only working with a little over 100 pages, but there’s some relationship development. (they don’t just jump into bed) Luke (29) has to work through if Elaina (18) is evil like her mom, then there’s a bit of drama from the mom with the typical smut sprinkled in.
Bottom Line- Quick, easy, nothing heavy. It was sort of JS-lite. There’s a storyline with this one and the sexytime is NOT all about meat and cervix punching, so that was a plus.
"Enthralled With You" is the story of Elaina and Luke.
Firstly, not much of a "sibling" rivalry in this one.
The story begins when our *infuriated* H decides to screw with his potential new stepsister and her bch of a mother. Why? Because his dad suddenly left his mom for OW/ her mom, and instead of blaming his father (though he does want to destroy him), he decides to take revenge from the innocent lamb. However, he soon realizes she is too timid *cough* lame *cough* to be a conniving mastermind, hence decides to impale her tiny body on his giant, XXXXXXL, snake like dick.
There is weird drug induced behavior, a shitty evil OW, nefarious plotting- mixed with stalking, instant hymen penetration and loads of cumbaths in this one with detailed descriptions of his massive dong which he repeated threw into her.
Read it for its sheer ridiculousness. It does not make much sense.
I really don’t know what to say about this book. It started off pretty good. I was really enjoying it until they started having sex at about the 50% mark. The sex was just awkward to me. How much sex can one virgin girl have before her vagina is damaged, lol? I have to also admit that the grammar is atrocious. Words are spelled wrong or missing, quotation marks aren’t used properly, it got confusing a few times. It wasn’t a bad story overall but it really could have used a good editor and some polishing, maybe a little less sex.
4 1/2 STARS Luke Carstairs is 29 years old, handsome, and a very successful businessman. His parents (Lucas & Sissy) were happily married for 35 years until his dad met a gold digger named Lisa and divorced his wife. Luke is furious and has planned his revenge for his dad, his new soon to be stepmom, and her daughter. His dad has no clue though because Luke has been pretending to be okay with it. When Lisa arrives with her 18 year old daughter, Elaina to move in to his dad’s mansion Luke becomes conflicted. Elaina was sent to a boarding school when she was thirteen and she hasn’t seen her mom since she dumped her there and has barely heard from her. Now all of the sudden her mom wants her to move into her new fiancé’s house. She knows her mom is using her she just doesn’t know what for. Luke can’t stop thinking about Elaina but he doesn’t want to get sucked in if she turns out to be horrible like her mom. This one was really sweet and it was actually more story than sex.
I liked this book about a son who is after revenge because of a woman who broke up the marriage of his parents. He initially thinks the daughter was in on it, but learns she is innocent.
Luke doesn't know if he will ever be able to forgive his father for the destruction of his family. His treatment of his mother has Luke plotting his own revenge and target is Lisa, the woman who broke up his family and her daughter. However when Luke sees Elaina for the first time, he realizes her daughter is nothing like the wicked witch. Luke falls hard and fast for Elaina and will do everything to protect her, but something is not quite right about the situation with his father. Will he figure it out before it is too late?
I liked this, reminded me of some of the authors older books. If you are a fan of Jordan Silver this is one to pick up. Great chemistry and I enjoyed how the story unfolded.
2.5 stars Jordan Silver brought out her trusty formula; the older man, the barely legal girl, insta-love, girl-has-nasty-mother and of course, H's HUGE dick and his very, immediate need to 'claim' the h ... IMO, she has used this same formula many times and written better books; this one just didn't click as much ... but because its JS, its 2.5 stars ... go figure!
Another quintessential Jordan Silver book! There really isn't anyone who compares to Jordan's style and flair for writing these amazing stories. This book has all the elements...the hot Alpha man Luke, the shy ingenue Elaina and of course the "i want to stab with a rusty fork" villainess Lisa,. If you love instalove with a side of holy hotness and a HEA, then this ones for you. Thanks for another brilliant story Mama B.
mehhh pretty wordsy….a lot of internal dialogue on H's part. I think I was maybe expecting more angst where H didn't figure things out until closer to the end. Whereas, his feelings are resolved super early on and then it's mostly just his need to bed the h as soon as possible...I think I was pretty bored with h's doormat attitude and the fact that H felt she couldn't even manage to do simple things for herself like eat, bath and dress. Idk maybe i'll revisit at another time and see if I feel the same!
Hero is totally enthralled with the heroine in this romance
This was a nice story. Very romantic and passionate between the H&h. I like how the author did the evil stepmom to be. It was all about StopMom. She was laughably sinister. Very entertains read. Very steamy. Over the top alpha male who will offend politically correct romance readers
Loved this story of revenge turned love. Well, there was still a comeuppance but it wasn’t towards the innocent woman that ended up stealing the hero’s heart just by being the sweet girl she was. If you liked the Jordan classic Taking What He Wants then you should love this one as it reminded me of it. No, they are nothing a like. It just reminded me of it
Another great Jordan Silver book!! I absolutely loved Luke and Elaina. Luke is an alpha to his core and Elaina is sweet and innocent as they come! Was sad when the story ended:,(
I loved Luke & Elaina. Nothing better than a hot and Sexy alpha that knows how to handle a little sweetness. Add in a touch of revenge and you have a fun read.
The story was entertaining enough however the writing was so bad, like literally the worst. This has only 120 pages but it's so repetitive with all the ramblings of the MCs. Could've been promising if it was highly edited. Seriously, why do books lack editing nowadays? Shame.
I feel like happy sobbing. 😭😭 I’ve been in a JS book funk with her last couple books I’ve read, and everybody knows I’m a JS junkie, but this oh I liked this.... this was true to form. I was fully expecting Luke to be like the last couple alphas and get lead around my his dick like a whipped teen but NOOOO Luke was on it. He was enthralled by Elaina, She was enthralled by him, I was just enthralled by it all. I don’t know if I love this book cause it was just so good or because it rejuvenated my want to read more JS, either way on my favorite shelf it goes.
“Shut up. You say one more word about her and I’m going to forget where I am and throw you through the fucking wall.”
“But when I told him he had a daughter, I had to talk him out of getting on the next plane to come get her. I had to explain to him that she wasn’t going anywhere. Not without me that is, and I wasn’t about to move.” (This was just so funny to me, I imagined the made up conversation to be hilarious 😂)
“Let’s make a baby.” . . . “I thought that’s what we were doing.”
This romance novel had a good story to it. I did not like the way Luke was owning her. There relationship seemed to be almost like BDSM she was submissive while he was in charge. I did not like the controlling aspect of Luke with the way he took ownership of her without knowing her that well. I do understand lust and the power of sex but it was off the deep end a bit with the sex. Sorry but a virgin cannot take that much sex without being so sore she would not be able to walk. Especially how big he was. Courting someone is one thing and having lust is another a romance story can have both and be entertaining. The sex scenes pulled away from the main story about Lisa being a gold digger and a crook. Lisa was cruel to her daughter and she would do anything to get a hold of money. Lisa deserved to go to prison for her crimes. Elaina was no delicate flower as Luke was describing her. If the author stuck more to the story and not embellish in the sex scenes this would have been a very good story.
Even though Luke and Elaina didn’t meet under the best circumstances, considering he was planning on destroying her, he knew immediately he felt that “zap”! Elaina comes from an evil, abusive mother who has only brought her along to use her for her evil plans and ulterior motives. However, as we know, when a Jordan Silver alpha knows his mate, he will claim her!! Luke might not have accepted it right away but once he did, Elaina was as good as done! Steam level- Off the charts!!!
A good Jordan Silver story, nothing out of the ordinary so I’ve given it 3 stars. There is a wannabe OW for the dad, and she has a daughter that she is using to fool the dad into thinking she’s a family type person. Turns out there are drugs involved and the OW has a pattern of this behavior. Lots going on but again, nothing spectacular.
The OW gets caught, the dad never stopped loving the mom, and the son gets everything straightened out and there’s a HEA for all.
A perfect Jordan Silver book!!! I loved this story of Luke and Elaina. He is hell bent on revenge for his family until one look at her - and just like that, life shifts! I thought Jordan did a great job of showcasing Elaina‘s strength, while also showing her crippling fear of dealing with her mother. As with all of her books, this one has a strong (crazy) alpha hero, a loveable heroine, wonderful side characters and sex like we can only hope to find!!! Great job! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I loved this new read from Jordan Silver, the storyline was brilliant i couldn't put it down. From the first chapter your gripped and so begins the all in one reading session. The chemistry between Luke and Elaina was intense, hot and damn right ALPHA. This book has everything you could want in quick read romance, drama, great storyline and the little dirtyness that makes it a Jordan Silver work of brilliance. Happy reading :)
