Consumed
The only thing stronger than Amber Grayson and Brian Matther s loathing for each other, is their all consuming lust.
Amber Grayson s dates never seem to measure up. That is, until Brian Matthers the boy from high school who sparked such intense longing in her, no other man could compare returns to her life.
When Amber and Brian come together, their powerful chemistry overwhelms them both, leading them to fall hard and fast. But betrayals are easy to believe when things seem too good to be true, and the romance ends as fast as it starts.
Only Brian and Amber have had a taste of the heat between them, and a taste isn t nearly enough. When the two come together, tempers flare and barbs fly, and Brian quickly discovers that the only thing more intense than Amber s wrath is her passion.
Embarking on a relationship that is strictly sexual and gratifies their most torrid fantasies, they soon find that abiding by the unspoken rule of strictly sex proves more challenging than either of them expected.
Warning, this title contains the explicit sex, graphic language."

This review will follow the I-Review format aka Question & Answer format.
Visitor: What made you pick up Consumed by Moira McTark?
MBR: I was just browsing through Amazon, wondering which title from my massive TBR pile I should read next when this little number caught my eye with its pretty cover. After reading the blurb I had a major case of excitement over the story and the next thing I knew I was reading the preview of the book available on Amazon which just whetted my appetite for more and before I knew it I had hit the “Buy now with 1-Click” button and the rest, as they say is history!
Visitor: Tell me a little bit about the hero Brian Matthers.
MBR: Brian comes from a family of 3 brothers and 2 sisters and works in accounting at Dyson & Dale. Playing baseball in high school had been the high light of his life back then. Brian is intensely sexy and just sheer dynamite when it comes to wooing a woman in bed and out of it and I would love me some Brian as my next “no-occasion-present.” And on top of it all, Brian has got that tender quality that makes a woman go all mellow on the insides. A man who is not afraid of long-term relationships and commitment, Brian is the reason why we women read romance novels! *sigh*
Visitor: Now tell me a little bit about the heroine Amber Grayson.
MBR: Amber works as a programmer at Claybourn Elliot and yearns for her own happily ever after though she knows that with the high standards that she has set since high school, the man who would fulfill all her dreams and longings is a long time coming. Amber is beautiful, sexy and knows what she wants and is not afraid to say what she wants as she has gained confidence as a woman over the years though she had been pretty shy in high school.
Visitor: How does Brian and Amber meet for the first time?
MBR: There is no mention in the novella of how Brian and Amber meet for the first time. But rather, Brian had been Amber’s high school crush, a crush that had turned into the center-point of all her wicked fantasies throughout the years. And when a chance meeting at the train station brings Amber and Brian together again, both discover that the incredible pull between them is just too much to turn away from.
Visitor: What was it that drew you into the story with Consumed?
MBR: Mmm.. Consumed is a pretty well rounded novella that captured my attention and held it from page 1. Reading it one sitting tells just how much the story consumed me as Brian and Amber gave into the explosive passion between them and worked through the hurdles to reach their happily ever after. What drew me in most was the incredible connection that forges between Brian and Amber and even when things head south based upon a misunderstanding, neither Brian nor Amber can turn away from the incredible way that they can make each other feel. That I would say makes for a very heady and enticing pull towards any romance.
Visitor: What was it that you liked about Consumed?
MBR: As I said earlier, Consumed is a story that refuses to let go once you sink yourself into what’s happening. For me, I loved everything about the novella from its beautiful glossy cover to its beautiful yet short epilogue that gave me a sense of satisfaction all around when I finished reading. What I loved most about Consumed was how smoothly the story flowed through, urging me to read on and find out where Amber and Brian were going with their no holds barred sexual relationship. And of course, the creative scenes of passion are just to die-for!
Visitor: What if anything would you change about Consumed?
MBR: Being a story of such short length, I would say it pretty much hit all the right spots with what the story delivered.
Visitor: Any memorable scenes/quotes from Consumed you would like to share?
MBR: Incredibly hot was the scene on the dance floor where Brian takes Amber upon her request making all breathe whoosh out of me in one single exhale. And the variety of sensual scenes that Moira delivers, making each one a memorable one is all I can say without giving away any details.
Visitor: Who would you recommend Consumed to?
MBR: Consumed is an awesome read to squeeze in if you have got around an hour and half to spare. For those who love reunion romances and intense, scorching passion without being overly explicit, Consumed is a definite must-read!
Rating=4.5/5

BRIEF SUMMARY
Amber is excited when she meets her high school crush, Brain. Both had an instant attraction that led to a steamy encounter. When both encounters a misunderstanding, they still manage to not get along but physically wants and take each other repeatedly.
THOUGHTS
I thought this was a very spicy book. I am always first in line to read high school crushes who reunites later in life. Amber and Brain got together for a steamy night, but, with a misunderstanding everything goes wrong. Soon after and unable to get enough of each other with their bedroom aerobics, both characters steams up the pages with a sex only relationship. I liked that even though the relationship was purely sexual, we got to see Brain slowly learning and reconnecting more about Amber, and I found that to be sweet. Although I thought this story was sexually charged, and sweet, I found the storyline to be ok. I liked it, but didn't find myself connecting with certain scenes. Nevertheless, I would still recommend this book.
Story: FAIR
Intimacy: D.R.I.P = Don't Read In Public / GOOD
Enjoyment: FAIR to GOOD

****SPOILER ALERT*********
Well, I'll say that Consumed has great love scenes but the rest of the story is just missing more development. Amber goes from not seeing her high school crush, Brian, for umpteen years and agrees on a date with him. Okay that's fine, but to go commando on the first date, engage in a hot sex scene within 5 minutes of his arriving at her apartment with little dialogue in between, bounce off to the date, engage in more hot sex, and then wrap up the date with a cliche'd scene of misunderstanding that never really does get aired out between the two of them before we reach the Happily Ever After. Toss in weeks of more sex with no dialogue and you've basically got yourself reading about a hussy. I was close to flouncing on the story but it's short and figured I could give it a few more minutes to wrap it up & see if anything positive happens. Nope. Not really. I think the author, too, could pull out the thesaurus and find some more romantic synonyms for body parts. "Hole" just isn't sexy.

I wish the book was a little bit longer so we could have had more story and the whole thing wouldn't have seemed as rushed and we would have been able to have some back story to help us connect with the characters better. We basically had to find out what type of people the characters were though conversations in the book, not because we could gleam their personality from the story. That was definitely because it was short. I, for one, would have liked a flash back or two to the high school days, lol. Nevertheless, I liked this book.

Poorly executed...Extremely disappointing and UN-consuming!..., I am sorry to give a poor rating. I commend anyone willing to take time to write a story and publish.
However, I paid money and was not entertained. The story is weak and all over the place. Most of the non-sexual parts made no sense and the sexual parts were just dumb. It appears the author only cared about writing about sex rather than a story.
I have no idea how anyone is giving this a 5 star rating on Amazon???? Must be friends of the author.
