Synopsis:
Charlie is a
passionate, sensually inspired art student, desperately seeking an escape from
an abusive past that haunts her and a tragic accident that emptied her heart.
Scarred and unable to love, her yearning for physical pleasure and contact
leads her into a tantalizing, dangerous world of power and seduction. The
anonymity of the deal offers security, the money provides financial freedom,
and the madam’s authority is the mother figure she longs for.
But the thrill of the
mansion and its arousing dominance quickly fades when she meets the renowned
yet mysterious Cameron Hardy, whose intense, baby blue eyes send a nervous
flutter through her core. He’s sexy, and not in a subtle way. Cameron
stimulates her art, intellect and desires. Just as he begins to break through
her emotional boundaries, Charlie discovers a devastating connection between
her past and her scandalous work at the mansion, shattering everything she
thought to be true.
Provocative,

find redemption amidst a memorable journey that will captivate your mind and
stimulate your soul.

Review
I was given an ARC copy of this book courtesy of the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Seductive
Shadows was not your average erotic story. It was dark, mysterious, and
heartbreaking. Charlie has been through a lot of heartbreak in her life. She
grew up with an abusive mother. And lost the only person in the world that’s
ever truly loved her. I enjoyed the flashbacks in this story. It allowed me as
a reader to truly connect to Charlie’s character.
Charlie
best expresses herself through her dark art projects and sex. Sexuality is a big
part of this book, as she uses it to deal with her feelings. When Charlie is
offered an opportunity that gives her security and release for her sexuality,
she takes it. She has no intention to fall for anyone. She does not connect
during sex. And she would like to keep it that way. Until she meets blue eyed
Cameron in her art class. Cameron made Charlie question and challenge herself, like no one else
could. I enjoyed watching (or
reading) them fall for each other. Not too many books show that, and I think
the author did a great job at this.
Just
when I thought, I was going to predict what would happen, the author throws in
a huge surprise. I wasn’t expecting what happened next, to happen at all! This
story is a good read for those looking for a mysterious erotic story.
