Adored

by Tina Donahue

Adored Tina Donahue A shameless fantasy come true... When tall, dark and delicious Adam Farrell crosses Danni's radar at a trade show in Vegas, it's not lust at first sight. He's been the star of her wicked fantasies for a while, pleasuring her in acts of domination and submission that leave her breathless. Aching for his masterful touch, believing she'll never have it, Danni indulges in a public sex act Adam alone witnesses. What follows is a night of wild and unrestrained passion in his powerful arms. It's only the beginning. An undisclosed business deal has turned Adam from competitor to Danni's new boss. His hunger for her is absolute and he'll make her fantasies seem tame as he takes her in ways she never imagined-whenever he wants, wherever he desires. Seduced by Adam's plan to mix exquisite control with adoration, Danni's swept into a sensual adventure she can't resist. Until corporate politics intrude and she learns what Adam's been hiding to protect her...a secret he's long feared will tear them apart.

About the author

I'm an Amazon and international bestselling novelist who writes passionate romance for every taste - 'heat with heart' - for traditional publishers and indie. Booklist, Publisher's Weekly, Romantic Times, and numerous online sites have praised my work. I've won Readers' Choice Awards, was named a finalist in the EPIC competition, received a Book of the Year Award, The Golden Nib Award, awards of merit in the RWA Holt Medallion competitions, and second place in the NEC RWA contests. I'm featured in the Novel and Short Story Writer's Market. Before penning romances, I worked at a major Hollywood production company in Story Direction.

On a less serious note: I'm an admitted and unrepentant chocoholic, brake for Mexican restaurants, and have been known to moan like Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally" while wolfing down tostadas. I've flown a single-engine airplane (freaking scary), rewired an old house using an 'electricity for dummies' book, and am horribly shy despite the hot romances I write.

Adored begins with a woman sitting alone watching a trade show for intimate lingerie in Las Vegas, Nevada. Danni Dewitt does something shocking, as she is very aroused and begins to pleasure herself. She can’t help it because she’s so frustrated and the only man who can satisfy her hunger is Adam Farrell. Danni and Adam are business associates, but not for the same company. Danni is the Vice President of Product Development for her award- winning Painted Ladies line, while Adam has the same position as she but for her competitor, His Woman’s Pleasure. Both are friendly and interact with each other at trade shows and conventions such as this one. Over the past few months, Danni’s attraction for Adam has grown where he’s the star in her naughty fantasies and she’s tied down and watched by many men while Adam does some wicked things to her. But while her fantasies are wild, she would never act on them in real life because of her role as a professional business woman. She also thinks she’s not tempting enough for Adam because he’s so handsome and self-assured, so he must prefer the beautiful, skinny fashion models. What Danni doesn’t know is that Adam wants her as much as she wants him, and when he spies Danni playing with herself, he knows it’s time to make his move.

Danni is beyond mortified because how can she show her face around Adam again, especially when he saw her doing something so undignified and embarrassing? As long as she can escape to her room without seeing him, she should be okay. Also, Danni lives in San Francisco, while Adam lives in Los Angeles, so the odds they will see each other again in the near future is pretty slim. Unfortunately for Danni, Adam gets in the elevator with her. Dannie begins to apologize for her behavior and because she is mortified, she lets it slip that she wants him and even goes as far to admit what type of fantasies she has. Adam is beyond thrilled and wants to act out Danni’s most secret desires. Danni gives in and really, why should she deny herself any longer? She and Adam will have one hot night together and then go there separate ways.

Adam aches for Danni but wants more than one night with her. What Danni doesn’t know is that he’ll take over as president of the Painted Ladies corporation. He knows there are risks with mixing business and pleasure but doesn’t want to be denied Danni any longer.

Adam and Danni are beyond hot and heavy and so very compatible in the bedroom. Danni is in for a shock when she finds out that Adam is her new boss. And things are about to get even more complicated because Adam’s employer wants to cut costs and Danni may be the one sacrificed. Adam wants keep Danni in her job as well as seduce her and keep her in his life, because he knows when Danni finds out that she may be let go, she’ll be devastated and turn her back on him.

Adored is a sexy romance with some great love scenes and two characters you can’t help but like. Danni may seem a bit prudish in the beginning but the moment she and Adam are all over each other, she lets loose because Adam pushes her to the point where she can embrace her sexuality. Adam was even more special because even though he sees the sexy temptress Danni tries to hide, he also respects her on a professional level. He admires her work ethic and devotion and pride in her work. These two are mature professionals who engage in some hot and heavy behavior in and out of the office. Danni and Adam have great chemistry and their sex scenes are kinky with some anal sex, bondage, blindfolds and chocolate being drizzled on body parts. Also, there is a bathroom shaving scene where a depilatory and razor is used. I’m not a big fan of this, because any sharp object or Nair like substance near the hoo-haa area would give me the heebie jeebies, but they way Adam explained why he wanted to bare Danni made it sound sexy. Adam is the truly the perfect man to tap into Danni’s fantasies and loves that he can help her act them out.

Adam does keep the situation about Danni’s job a secret and may make some readers frown, but it does make sense because he’s afraid Danni will walk away from him. He doesn’t want to loose what they have together, especially since it is so fresh and new.

Tina Donahue can really write some great dialogue and those scenes where Danni and Adam are intimate are very creative and hot. I found Adored to be a very satisfying read.

I have to shamefully admit as I got this book as a review copy my expectations weren't really high. Never heard something about that book or the author at all. But OMFG I was so wrong.

I started this book on my way home from one of the most boring lectures of my life. I read it in the tram and that was a huge mistake. I only read the first 2 chapters but all the other people must have thought: "What does she read that makes her blush like that?" And I was so strong and didn't start screaming some confusing things like: "Don't you dare masturbate now!" so I should be happy. The book gripped me from the start and took me on a wild and really hawt ride.

Danni is a very emotional but strong character. She got hurt in the past, not only by two asshole boyfriends but also by her cheating father. She has a few commitment issues because of that but she tries to not be too suspicious of every man and to give Adam a real chance. She trusts him not to hurt her but there is one thing she can't forgive and that is lying.

Adam always was intrigued by Danni and now he finally gets his chance to do something about it. He wants her not only for one night but for long time. He loves that she is so open about her fantasies and wants to explore how far he can go with her. He doesn't want to burden her with a few things and so he tries to solve them hinself without telling her about it. Typical man!

These two really made me sweat. Their chemistry is unbelievable hot and very imaginative. I loved the build up and the back and fourth these two experienced through the whole book.

The story is a nice mix between contemporary and erotica. I loved that it was not only like reading porn but more like a sweet story with many hot interruptions. *wink*

The one drawback was that I knew after the first 2 or 3 chapters how this book would end but I enjoyed it very much nonetheless.

I recommend this book to everyone who loves his contemporary romance spicy.

The sex was pretty hot, but the story was lacking. A lot of build-up for what ended up being nothing more than misunderstanding. Meh.

I DON’T SHARE WHAT’S MINE

I loved the chemistry between Adam Farrell and Danni DeWitt. They are two people who met years ago at The Annual Intimate Apparel Trade Show and clicked immediately. But they kept it as playful banter and only saw each other at the shows. The story is what happens when they act on their desires for each other while in Vegas—but it will not stay there.

Danni works as Vice President of Product Development for Painted Ladies. She will be seated in a secluded area watching the show and observing what the competition is offering. While at the show, she is also seated behind the man who heads up her fantasies, Adam Farrell.

Adam Farrell has quickly worked his way up the ranks as the Vice President of Product Development at His Woman’s Pleasure. The company is now taking over Painted Ladies where he will be made President.

The plot will have Adam leaving the show to take a business phone call, and when he comes back in, he will observe Danni masturbating, and she will realize he has seen her. Embarrassed, she will leave, and he will catch up with her at the elevators, and from there, they go to his room for a night of sex. Danni has a vivid imagination and shares her erotic fantasies with him. The next day, they leave to go back to their respective companies, and she has no idea that Painted Ladies will have new ownership.

Adam must be careful when he and the owner, Roger come to Painted Ladies and reveal the new ownership. When he learns that Roger plans to fire Danni after the launch of the new line, he goes to battle for her job. Roger thinks nothing of getting involved with one of the models and jetting her to exclusive places and yet wants to bring in someone cheaper and with no real experience to take Danni’s place.

The story is full of erotic and explicit sex scenes between Adam and Danni, including bondage, light spanking, and having sex at work without getting caught. He will have her questioning things because of going from hot to cold in his behavior. She fears that he is going to cheat on her like her father does her mother and her last two boyfriends. She goes as far as to tell him her concerns.

“Some men don’t realize how deeply their deceit affects women. They believe it’s okay to lie, as long as they’re not caught. If they do get busted, they can always con their way out of the problem. To them, it’s a game. I can assure you; it’s not. It’s like walking on hard ground that suddenly turns into quicksand, then back again without any warning. Eventually, you’re afraid to make a move. You don’t know what to believe or trust, including yourself.”

The story is emotional, and while the reader knows what is going on with both sides, it is easy to understand where each person is coming from in the relationship. Can Danni trust Adam not to hurt her? How far will Adam go to protect Danni and her career? What happens when the truth comes out? Will she feel betrayed and ready to end it with Adam? Has she just been a plaything for him?

“I’ll have you where I want when I want—be ready for anything.”

There is a lot of creativity with Danni’s fantasies and how Adam will incorporate some of it into their erotic play. While she has fantasies that include multiple men, voyeurism, exhibition, Adam lets her know that he doesn’t share.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Adam Farrell and Danni DeWitt. Danni and Adam have worked for rival companies for years. Now however Adam has become her new boss. What Dannie doesn't know is that the head boss is looking to cut her from the team to save money. After Adam's first taste of Danni he can't get enough but he knows she will hate him if he continues to be with her without telling her about the possible loss of her job. Can they find a way to get a HEA or will their positions make that impossible?

This book is hot hot hot. The story has it's ups and downs that I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Danni and Adam are both important leaders in the women’s lingerie business, and due to an acquisition, he ends up as her boss. They have had an interest in each other since they met at trade shows earlier, but the latest meeting is the start of a passionate love affair involving a lot of sex and some bondage and spanking. There are complications involving office politics, as well as distrust by her due to previous unpleasant relationships – and how these things are resolved make for an interesting story. Both characters are determined and passionate, and the development of their relationship keeps the story moving forward.

[ajjmb · Rating 4 out of 5]

Adored is a spicy office romance. Danni has watched and dreamed about Adam from afar, so it is not too surprising when they get together. Of course an even bigger surprise is when Danni discovers that Adam is her new boss. I love that Adam does everything he can do to protect Danni and make sure she can keep her job. Adam’s boss is a real jerk but Adam protects Danni from his insensitivity. Adam is a sweet guy and this is a sweet romance with some spice to round it out. I reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

[Goldienut · Rating 4 out of 5]

Danni worked hard to get where she was in the company of women's lingerie. Adam has
also worked tirelessly to get ahead and becomes her boss because of the purchase of the
company. She has fantasized about being with Adam a long time and sitting in a show in
Las Vegas she is in shame at what she did and hopes no one else witnessed it but Adam did.
After finding out the feelings that Danni has and Adam has always had. They take it to the
next level. There are many ups and downs throughout the story but you won't be disappointed.

[Lori · Rating 4 out of 5]

 I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.  Danni and Adam meet at a work event.  Could reality ever be as great as her Adam fantasies?   When he catches an embarrassing moment, they each reveal their attraction.   The trouble with work romances is that you can't always be open about everything.  The trouble with romance is that if you are not open, misunderstandings begin.  Romance with dominant fantasy play.

A beautiful romance between a man and woman who have known each other for years and unknowingly have also wanted to explore something more between them. Unfortunately she's been burned before by lies and deceit and it is hard for her to allow herself to be open with another man. Cue the intrigue and relish in this story as the two of them begin their relationship that outside forces may tear apart.

[Gladys · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a very hot and sexy read. Danni and Adam's chemistry is scorching and I loved them together. Their relationship has plenty of heat and kink but also real sweetness and an emotional connection. Add in work drama and secrets and you have a fun, entertaining, passionate romance. This is my totally honest, voluntary review.

[Vivian Chrisman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good read...

This is a good read to pass the time with. Danni and Adam have an undeniably hot connection. There's also the "secret". When the truth comes out, will their connection be enough to keep them together or has Danni's trust been too broken for her to forgive?
