Entrance, Enlighten and Enfold
Entrance:
Aidan: A self made millionaire, helps those in need through various charities, war hero, drowning in nightmares, ladies man, private in all the ways a man could be, hiding painful secrets from his past
Clarissa: A 21-year old virgin, selfless, putting others needs before her own, beautiful, smart, knowledgeable and well adversed in everything related to art
When Clarissa interviewed for a PA job at Thornhill Estate, she couldn’t believe her luck when she was offered the job above all the other applicants. Uprooting her life, she moves to Thornhill Estate. Where she becomes accustomed to the opulent lifestyle of her mysterious bosses world.
During her transition period, Clarissa is told things about her boss, that he has a reputation as a ladies man and that she is not to fall in love. During her exploration of the estate she meets a handsome stranger, easing into conversation easily, they hit it off.
On the night of the gala, she finds that her handsome stranger is her illustrious boss Aidan Thornhill, however there is something about him that catches her eye. Over time they develop a professional relationship of sort, yet she’s not easily impressed.
There professional relationship soon turns into something more, and when the chance arrives, Clarissa gives Aidan her innocence. Aidan finds himself intoxicated by Clarissa. She is so responsive to him and his touch, to the way he makes her feel as he is to her. He can’t get enough of her, she is in his every thought. Aidan becomes possessive, falling for Clarissa hard, and she him.
As there relationship ignites, they begin opening themselves up to each other, but opening up is hard for Aidan, leading secrets to being kept, information about his past he would rather not share, that involve people who would use his past to blackmail him, telling hurtful lies, leading to jealously and an ex lover who’s out to cause trouble.
It is evident that Aidan and Clarissa have great chemistry, they are learning to fall in love, for neither have felt this mutual feeling before, as a sensitive person, she is hurt by Aidan’s past, but they are working together to break down those barriers, to close past pains, learning to trust and be supportive of one another.
The different points of view told a telling story, this author clearly know how to write. Such a roller coaster of emotions, a page turner, fast paced you literally will not be able to put it down. Readers will be ensnared from the get go and it will have you coming back for more. And if you thought this author was done, she is not, so hold on as we anticipate what book two will bring us!
And those s€x scenes in and out of the bedroom were downright erotic, the language and dirty talk was filthy and such a turn on, dark, provocative, naughty, twisted, forbidden, emotional , wrong, intense, captivating, deliciously wicked, dirty, hot, steamy, passionate, possessive, powerful, wet, dominating and ferociously wild.
Enlighten:
Book two picks up where we left off in book one
Aidan and Clarissa, there attraction still strong, undeniable, they keep coming back to each other
Aidan takes his protectiveness to the next level, determined to keep Clarissa safe, his jealousy knows no bounds
Aidan is still battling his past, determined to keep Clarissa from learning the truth, but the truth always has a way of surfacing wether he wants it too or not.
And then his mother surfaces, wrecking her own brand of havoc on his idyllic life with a message that someone it out to seek revenge on a past misdeed not of his making
On top of that, Clarissa is tending to her friend Tabitha, coming to terms with her sexual proclivities, preferences and kinks, and when Clarissa spies Tabitha with Grant, Aidan’s father, it gets Clarissa’s back up, and Aidan is not at all happy with this development, playing on Clarissa’s insecurities with her relationship with Aidan.
If that wasn’t enough, Clarissa has a would be admirer in Chris, who Aidan is not entirely convinced on, but with his skill set, he is proving to be a whole lot more.
And then Jessica and Bryce make a cameo appearance, and Aidan is not too pleased to discover that Clarissa has been going out without her bodyguard.
The highlight of the story is of Aidan’s aunt Greta marrying Clarissa’s father Julian and Clarissa finally accepting Aidan’s marriage proposal.

I returned this book not because the story did not have merit, it did. The problem with this book was the heroine who was supposed to be a woman with a degree and educated but yet spoke like a two year old frequently throughout the first 25% of this book. A grown woman does not use the words "yummy and tummy" unless she is speaking with a small child. I am not sure why the author thought this was cute or endearing but it wasn't. One time this woman is talking about her sexual feelings towards the gardener ( the man she is actually working for) and the next she is using the words yummy and tummy when served her lunch. This woman really has a thing for food since she talks incessantly in the first several chapters about how good the food is at her new job. I like my heroines to be strong women who act like grown women, not a child. Somehow a book that infers a sexual attraction that results in a liaison between employee and employer and a heroine that speaks like a child doesn't mix well. If you can get past the childish language and heroine then you may enjoy this book.

So so
I will give this 3 stars for longevity, it went on forever, I skimmed the last book. Ok. So obviously this writer is not an American, the phrases and use of words felt more British/Eurpeon. So Aiden is a rich veteran sex addict who hired a young virgin to work for him. Said virgin has the worst user friend who is also a sex addict. So it read like this for me ,sex, whawhawha, sex, whawhawha, murder attempt, sex, whawhawha, murder attempt, boring sex, shopping, knowledge of art, whawhawha, boring sex and bad evil friends. I was done when there was a suicide because worst friend ever was sleeping around, and was not effected by the death. So skimmed the rest because I bought the darn books.

I am a huge fan of this trilogy. Aiden and Clarissa’s romance is very moving and their complete story is fillled with so much of everything readers could possibly want in a great book. Intrigue, betrayal, intense drama, page-turning moments are just a few of the fabulous things to look forward to reading in this trilogy. I love Clarrisa’s innocence and untainted heart throughout in spite of the tense situations she endures. Aiden is the true book boyfriend alpha hero and completely adores her. Theirs is the stuff fairy tale romances are written about. I totally recommend this trilogy for a great and fulfilling romance read.

Great story
It's a story about a beautiful woman who is hired as PA to a young billionaire and then they fall in love. Surrounding him is a history of PTSD from his service in Afghanistan and his wicked ex-girlfriend who is rich and crazy. Underlying the story is a theme of more sexual encounters than most people have in a lifetime.
What struck me as unusual is that the writer sprinkles British terms in the story which has no British characters. Terms like " crisps" " chalk and cheese" and " one off" aren't terms most Americans use or even understand. It's a bit jarring when I read it because it doesn't fit the characters.
