Hamiltown Heat #3
For Your Eyes Only
Can you love what you can’t touch?
No touching.
It’s the only rule in this business, and trust me, with my money and power, “hands off” is not a problem.
I don’t need the women I employ to satisfy my needs…
Until her.
She’s different than the other girls, innocent, intoxicating, impossibly seductive.
I can’t take my eyes off her, and it’s not long before hot looks turn to hotter touches.
I’m the boss, after all, I call the shots.
And nothing’s more fun than breaking the rules.
I came to this country to pursue my dream… but it was a lie, a scam that quickly fell apart.
Desperate, I took the only job I could with no work visa.
They promised no one would know.
They promised no touching.
Until I saw him.
Dark scruff shading an arrogant grin, lean muscles stretching expensive fabric, eyes like twilight sending electricity from my stomach to my toes.
He’s my boss, but the way he watches makes me do dirty things.
For his eyes only, I’m uninhibited, experienced, a seductress.
Only, our game turns dangerous when a watcher threatens everything, and my hands-on hero vows to save me.
(FOR YOUR EYES ONLY is a stand-alone, extra-spicy romantic suspense with forbidden touches, organized crime, and a virgin heroine. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)

"You're not real. I thought I'd lost everything, then I found you."
This is not the first Tia Louise book I've read, and all she does is make me want to read more! I love her steamy scenes, and also that her heroines are often curvy, 'real' women. This means a lot to me as a curvy woman myself.
This book was steamy, sweet, and left me with a smile at the end, just the way I like it.
"I never expected him. I wasn't prepared for him. Then he stole my heart. He taught me to love. He changed my life."
Trip is a character that carries over from Fearless and Filthy. Just a side character, and one I have to confess to not particularly liking. But you need to trust the author. Trip is so much more than what you're given to see in the other books, because he wears a mask. It rarely slips. His poker face is always on, so much so that he struggles to be himself around others. I love it when I start off disliking a character only to love him in the end.
"What is this girl doing to me? I don't lose control. I don't play games."
Gia. Perfect! Gia is a ballet dancer from Italy, Gia is a simple size 12 girl who is still a virgin. Gia goes to the US to pursue her dreams only to have them shattered instead. She bounces back, and she's still dancing, just not ballet. On that stage, during that one song, she is free, she's alive, she's the sexiest woman anyone's ever seen. Under a mask, she can be whoever she wants to be.
Until she wants to be Trip's.
"I want to hold her in my arms for real. I want to slide my fingers along her jaw and turn her mouth to mine so I can slip my tongue into her. I want to taste her. I want to possess her."
Trip is her boss, and there's a strict rule: 'no touching'. But that goes out the window the first time he sees her dance. It’s intimate, even though there’s lots of people watching. He wants to do a hell of a lot more than touch, and so does she. The forbidden vibe adds tension, the fact that he doesn't know her adds even more. The secrets they're keeping only pull them further together and spin a web I couldn't look away from.
"I want to jump, and I want to do it with him..."
There's a lot of pushing and pulling between them, between what they want and knowing they probably shouldn't. Until they can't run away anymore. I'm not a huge fan of virgin heroines, especially when they're innocent almost in a 1950s way. Please! Not here, for sure. Gia may not have had the actual physical experience, but she's not naive either. And Trip? Oh, he has all the experience...
"You are the only one on my mind."
This is a romantic suspense book, so while this is happening there's a lot going on around them. I was aware that Trip was involved with bad people from previous books, and it's hard for him to get away. Even if he now has a reason to do it, because Gia has come to mean so much. And when Gia's life may be in danger, what won't he risk for her?
"Thank you for fighting for me."
"I will always fight for you."
What's vital for me when it comes to romantic suspense is that the attention is never diverted. The focus must be on the couple at all times. Tia has done just that: whatever crazy thing is happening around them, however different their lives and goals are, and whatever the threat, it's always about them. So much so that you fall in love with them falling in love.
"I only want you to touch me. I only want your eyes on me. Ever."
It's not easy. Giana has been burned before. Trip is used to having people come to him with ulterior motives, so it takes them a while to realize this is nothing like that. They need to trust each other. All that matters is them. In the meantime, other dreams are discovered. And who wouldn't love a man who's willing to do anything for your dream to come true?
"Will you stay with me and know I'll lay down my life for you?"
This was a sexy book, no doubt about it. But it was also a feel good book for me, where the good outshines the bad and dreams come true.
Who ever knew a single dance could change two lives? They will only be dancing with each other, now, though. As it should be.

This is white hot romance at its best!
Gia and Trip were nuclear together!. I loved the way their relationship evolved from I-can’t-touch-you to I-will-stab-myself-in-the-heart-to-protect-you.
There are twists and turns that I never saw coming, adding to my overall enjoyment. This story is laced with angst, lots of drama and so much action and danger that I couldn’t look away.

This is how she finds herself in Florida struggling to make ends meet. When her original plans fall apart, she's without a work visa, and desperate for a job. When she's offered a new opportunity to make good money, she takes it. Nobody will know her true identity, and it will be temporary. Then everything turns complicated when she meets an elegant, sophisticated, gorgeous man. He's her boss and he's absolutely irresistible. She finds him exciting and he makes her want to be more daring and uninhibited. Will Gia finally open her heart to love and find happiness?

Soon he's pursuing her and crossing every line. As he breaks all his own rules he's obsessed. He feels seduced and hypnotized when she enters the room. She's alluring and captures all his attention, but he's not the only one. When a fan becomes out of control he's determined to protect her, and do anything to keep her safe. Can he save her before it's too late?

The chemistry between Trip and Gia in this book was absolutely amazing. I was a little nervous when I started reading and Gia was portrayed as an innocent and sheltered heroine, but her lack of experience certainly didn't take any of the steam out of this book. I actually loved the difference between her and Trip and it had me loving seeing them together.
The book also added a good dose of suspense and intrigue which made it all the more fun to read. Overall, it was a great read and one I definitely recommend.

For Your Eyes Only is a contemporary standalone book by Tia Louise. It's part of the Blurred Lines universe and it is told from POV with a HEA
Tropes:
✔️ billionaire
✔️ erotic romance
✔️ forbidden romance
After her dreams of being a professional ballerina in the US are squashed, Gia gets a job as an exotic dancer in order to earn enough money to get back to Italy and in the interim she captures the attention of the club’s owner Trip Alexander.
Trying to conceal her burlesque alter ego, Gia initially leads Trip to believe she’s just a seamstress but their mutual attraction unavoidable. Their relationship was a fast and intense, they went from forbidden to necessary.
Trip comes off as a cold and aloof playboy, but with Gia he turns into a dominant and protective alpha male. Gia is an innocent, curvy ballerina (the latter honestly did not compute with me) who kind and warm and brings out the best in Trip who in turn helps her grow and flourish.
I like this story, it’s different from the rest of the books I’ve read by Tia Louise. I just wish I had read the previous books in the series before this one, as I feel I would have understood a bit more about the subplots surrounding this couple.

Tia has once again proved to me that she can weave her magic with her words and drag me into her characters world. Trip and Gia where unexpected, forbidden, enticing, smoldering and oh so entertaining. Trip is a side character from a previous story, and I can't say that I liked him, but Tia and her words were very persuasive. He is a manmade businessman that has never wanted his family's money. He is stoic, strict and has a rule to not mix business and pleasure until her.
Gia is a refreshing heroine; she is an Italian ballerina, built like a real woman that makes the jump to America to live her dream on the stage. She is now here, and she finds out that it is a rue, and she is now out of work.
Her friends are coaxing her to take her talent to a different stage. She needs to make money, pay bills, express herself and not corrupt her morals in the process. She decides to dance incognito. A mask, a stage name and not take it all off, but showing the audience her amazing skills. That is how Glitter Girl was born. It is the beginning of Gia taking off, but it also grabs unwanted attention, and it also has Trip enthralled with this new dancer. She is captivating, intoxicating and totally off limits but the heart is a fickle organ.
This couple had sizzle, smolder, smart witty banter that was sexually infused and it was a bit forbidden. Loved their story!

Gia needs to make enough money to go back home. She thought coming here would be the answer to her dreams, but unfortunately it didn't end up being what she had thought it would, so taking a job as an exotic dancer is her only option. But then the owner of her club happens. Trip. He is a trip - seemingly a cold player, but in reality not even, is much more, much different, and the heat between them is incendiary. They have lines they're not supposed to cross, though, and for a minute they stay behind them. Until they don't, and the match is lit and WHEW!!!! But they're not supposed to be together, and Trip is involved in something uh, less than on the up and up, and it just may force him to make a decision he doesn't want to.
Trip doesn't mess with the women at his club. That's the norm. But when Giana starts dancing, he's drawn to the innocent in her. He's not one to cross the forbidden line but he just can't help himself from falling, hard. He knows his life isn't exactly conducive to maintaining a relationship, especially with someone as innocent as Gia, but his protective instincts, along with his heart, have been activated, and he's determined to do whatever it takes to protect his woman, even if it means he can't be with her.
One word - H O T!!! Gia and Trip are extra spicy as they fall headlong. Tia's writing is always steamy but this time around, this couple is extra. Among that heat is also suspense, though, driving the story in intriguing directions, and of course deep feelings that turn to love, even if both are fighting it. I love Trip and Gia, their love story is my favorite kind - edgy, delicious, with two likable, layered characters.

5, star Review For Your Eyes Only by Tia Louise
I’m not a huge fan of organized crime romance stories but as it was written by Tia Louise an author whose writing I admire, I decided to take a chance and I am glad I did. For Your Eyes Only was a suspenseful, steamy, romantic story about Trip and Gia and I was invested from the first to the last chapter. Romantic suspense is a genre I associate with Ms. Louise, who is one of my favourite authors in this genre.
It was well written with characters whose story you cannot help but quickly become drawn into. Their journey was rocky but oh what a journey it was. The chemistry and steam between Trip and Gia was electrifying and smoking hot and I fell hard and fast for swoon worthy Trip.
There were moments where I was on the edge of my seat whilst reading and I had a hard time putting this one down when work got in the way.

El estilo de escritura no me gustó muuucho, y nunca pude conectar con ningún personaje - Trip se me hace de los tíos panistas de mente abierta pero sólo para lo que les conviene ja. Hasta el 50% me atrapó la historia porque de ahí me dio flojera.
September 15, 2022
You know Trip already. Or you should. But you don’t REALLY know him. Because he’s not at all the uncaring, marble-cold party boy he appears to be. Oh, no. He’s a good guy trying to find his way. He’s a guy who got sucked into something that wasn’t his to fix, but here he is. And believe me when I say he’ll break his own heart to try to make everything right.
Trip has been a bit of a mystery, but seeing inside his mind answers so many questions. And seeing how he breaks all his rules for Gia? Oh, that’s just perfect. These two are meant to be, even if only one knows who they truly are. And that one changes a few times because once I thought I had it figured out, the puzzle shifted on the table and I had to make room for the new revelations. Even when it seems that all is lost, I had hope. I wasn’t sure how it could be fixed, but I knew it could be. In spectacular fashion, mind you!
Now I have new faces to adore, new stories to hope for, and happiness for Trip and Gia, along with some new dreams coming true for both of them along the way. And I just can’t wait to see who shares their story next because it’s sure to be another “I can’t put it down” read.

i should preface that i was unfortunately (and kinda am) in a massive slump while reading this, so my rating may not be as accurate as it could’ve been.
while i did enjoy the overall plot and the romance, i do think the story dragged quite a little. I wish the “reveal” had been a bit more towards the end of the book to build up more intrigue!!
the characters were kinda…basic? again, idk if this is the slump speaking but boy obsessed + innocent girl combo? i wasn’t really feeling it
while the 3rd act break up was absolutely cliched, i did somewhat enjoy the angst??

If you think you know who Trip is you really have no idea. This story opened my eyes to this man and I fell hard for him. And whoa him and Gia are fire. This was one spicy book that I didn’t want to end.
Tia as always wrote a book that was just what I needed. A little suspense, some romance and a whole lot of sexiness. The story will keep you intrigued and the spice will have you fanning yourself.
If you’ve read Fearless and Filthy you will see a few over laps. And if you haven’t read them you will not be lost. This can definitely be read as a stand-alone but I have to say what are you waiting for.

forbidden romance, billionaire, organized crime, boss/employee, steamy AF scenes….. what’s not to love!
I loved watching Gia learn to embrace herself and her body and build confidence in who she was. Her arc was chefs kiss!
I was a bit confused with the sub plots at times and kept checking if I missed other books or if it was a series, but overall I really liked this one!
If you’re looking for a steamy forbidden romance - this is it!

For Your Eyes Only is the perfect title to this book. This story is romantic, the chemistry between the couple is off the charts. There is also some danger that needs to be handled. Trip and Gia are the perfect couple.
Gia was hoping to be a ballerina but she had no Visa card so she had to be careful. Working in a club she took notice of Trip. Or shall I say he took notice of Gia. Like she was dancing for him. And she was. She was attracted to Trip.
I loved the story, so I won’t say anything else. It’s a fantastic book. ❤️❤️

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️���️
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥
Darkness: 🤍🤍🤍🖤🖤
Sub Genre: Crime Boss/ workplace/ forbidden/ first time
POV: Dual 1st Person
M/F
Stand Alone? It can be read as a stand alone but it runs the same timeline as Fearless so I recommend at least reading that one too. Though I am not sure it matters what order you read it in.
Wow! I thought fearless was the bomb diggity but honestly, this book has it hands down beat. It was hot, steamy, entertaining, had chemistry like no one’s business. This book hooked me from line one and didn’t let go at all… not even after I finished. I am still in their world in my head and don’t want to leave.
This book was a spicy romance lover’s whole package and I am here for it in every way possible! I can’t wait to read it again!
Don’t debate. Go for it! Get it! You’ll love it!
Happy Reading my Friends!

5, star Review For Your Eyes Only by Tia Louise
I’m not a huge fan of organized crime romance stories but as it was written by Tia Louise an author whose writing I admire, I decided to take a chance and I am glad I did. For Your Eyes Only was a suspenseful, steamy, romantic story about Trip and Gia and I was invested from the first to the last chapter. Romantic suspense is a genre I associate with Ms. Louise, who is one of my favourite authors in this genre.
It was well written with characters whose story you cannot help but quickly become drawn into. Their journey was rocky but oh what a journey it was. The chemistry and steam between Trip and Gia was electrifying and smoking hot and I fell hard and fast for swoon worthy Trip.
There were moments where I was on the edge of my seat whilst reading and I had a hard time putting this one down when work got in the way.

Who knew Trip had such a secret life different from what he portrayed as the bachelor bad boy. I always wondered about the friend that Blake and Hana had. I wondered if he was truly a good person or what was his deal.
Trip and Gia have such chemistry filled and emotionally charged relationship. Gia trying following her dreams and getting stuck with jobs that she doesn’t love but in order to stay and make money, she deals with while her love is ballet she gets sucked into a dancing gig that just so happens to put her in the view of Trip himself. I loved their banter, their chemistry and the spice was hot! I loved how protective and caring he is. He seemed like such a mysterious and calculated person but when you get to see him from his point of view and how much he wants to protect Gia, it’s like a whole new man I had no clue was that dominant and protective to a fault, doing his best to protect her from the trouble they find even if he doesn’t go the best way about it. I love how Gia is so mature and know what she wants and how easily she adapts to things and finds new dreams everytime and their story is full of twists, action, stream and the idea of finding new dreams and how life isn’t how we always plan but it leads us to where we need to be. Tia Louise did an amazing job redeeming a seemingly morally Grey character into someone we love and the relationship that comes from it. I can’t wait for whatever she has in store next.

For Your Eyes Only is an emotional, angsty, and gritty standalone billionaire boss romance about broken dreams, danger, survival, never giving up, and a white knight stepping in to conquer the demons. It has hints of organized crime and some suspense. I experienced a roller coaster of emotions. The connection between Trip Alexander and Gia was palpable and sizzling hot. I was addicted to this storyline and its characters. I loved Trip and how caring and protective he was over Gia. Did I forget to mention he's a dirty talker? Gia was inspirational. She was down on her luck but she kept going and didn't give up. There was more to her than meets the eye. There was a good amount of action and some heart-stopping moments. I was addicted and entertained from the start and couldn't put it down until the last page. You need this book!

I absolutely adored our couple and their connection! Gia goes through a metamorphosis in this book, just like the butterfly 🦋 she loves and is brought up throughout. At first, Trip comes off as a cold and calculated rich dude, but as soon as Gia and Glitter Girl enter the picture, He takes on a possessive and adoring personality. His pov after the 3rd act breakup was just heartbreaking! Trip and Gia were so passionate together! And I loved the epilogue!
I didn't give this book 5 stars because I felt the drama at 75% seemed fast, and a little misplaced.

Omg I couldn’t wait too read Trip’s story and what a story it was. Trip and Gia are absolutely amazing together. Their connection is off the charts. This book absolutely gave me the feels. My heart was crushed, when I read what happened between Trip & Gia. I’m so glad they got the ending they both deserved.
I voluntarily reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

If you ask me from now on what my favorite book by Tia Louise is I'm going to reply with "For Your Eyes Only". This book totally consumed my thoughts! I wasn't a huge Trip fan in previous books, where he was a side character, BUT I will say this book definitely opened my eyes to another side of this play boy. This is one of the spiciest books I've read by Tia & I'm not mad at it. I loved the FMC, Giana.... She was just such a fiercely strong character. And Giana & Trip together.... absolute fire. I'm talking melting my kindle.... Geesh! 5 HUGE STARS!

I love a good age gap, also heroines that dance instantly become a favorite!

This started out good but the climax feels anti-climatic for me and the ending only left me with so many unanswered questions. I also felt bored past 50% too. The smut is more than okay and I liked how Trip redeemed himself.
October 19, 2022
This said it’s a stand alone but I felt a little lost in places.
The beginning was fine but toward the middle it took a turn and had a lot of characters and action that I felt was a little disjointed.
The characters were ok. I liked Gia, and Trip was fine if not a little elusive. I don’t mind instalove when there’s getting to know each other after, but felt like this lacked that depth a little. A lot of their relationship seemed just physical to me.
The end wasn’t the most satisfying to me, but I finished it quickly and it kept me entertained.

I really wanted to like this, since I usually enjoy Tia Louise’s writing. But I couldn’t really connect to the characters and the timeline was a little weird. There was a lot going on to keep track of. However, the chemistry between Trip and Gia was amazing, as was the spice. *I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

“Maybe the caterpillar thinks his life is also good, but the universe knows better. The universe has bigger plans, spectacular plans!”
This is my first time reading this author and it didn’t disappoint. I really enjoyed this book. I can’t wait to read more books for this her. I’m a sucker for a forbidden romance.
‘Can you love what you can’t touch?’. That is the ultimate question.
Trip’s only rule in the business he is in is ‘No Touching’. But some rules are meant to broken and it only takes that one special person to change everything you once knew. Gia came to America to pursue her dream but it was all just a big scam and now she is left to pick up the pieces. She now has to take the only job that she can get without a work visa. Trip is the boss and he is also a bit mysterious. When Trip’s sees his new dancer for the first time everything he knows goes out the window. He wants her but he can have her because of his rules. This forbidden aspect in the book of boss/employee only makes everything so much more intense from their banter to their relationship. Their chemistry was so amazing throughout the book and when they get together it’s explosive for not only one of them but the both of them. And For His Eyes Only Gia becomes a whole new person a Seductress, Trip loves that he is the only person that get to see and experience her in that way.
I would recommend if you like:
❤️Forbidden Romance(boss/employee)
❤️Billionaire
❤️Forbidden Touches
❤️Organized Crime
❤️Steamy Scenes 🔥
Thank you Grey’s Promotion for the ARC!!
