Book Review: Notorious (Obsidian #1) by Elise Estrella



9.5/10 PANTY-DROPPING STARS

Title: Notorious (Obsidian #1)
Author: Elise Estrella
Genre: Erotic Romance


SYNOPSIS

Notorious is an erotic romance novel. Reader discretion is adviced.

Twenty-four-year-old, NBSB virgin Ariadne goes to Obsidian, a club notorious for the excesses happening within its walls, thinking of meeting a nice, decent, sweet guy and maybe developing something—anything—with him. The nice, sweet guy turns out to be the tough, gorgeous, and sexy-as-hell club bouncer named Roman.
Her wish for a sweet and innocent taste of pleasure turns into a heated, full-blown encounter that she never thought she’d experience. And while he was the first guy she ever allowed to touch her body, she ended up being the first woman to touch his heart.
Pero hindi talaga bouncer si Roman. He’s a US Navy SEAL currently on leave and on an undercover mission in the Philippines para hanapin ang taong pumatay sa kanyang kapatid sa isa sa mga silid sa Obsidian.

Habang hinahanap niya ang salarin, palapit naman ito nang palapit sa kanya para maningil ng dati niyang utang. At si Ariadne ang gusto nitong kabayaran…. 


MY REVIEW

Miss Elise Estrella always left her readers amazed with her prowess to write panty-dropping Navy SEAL heroes.
As one of her readers I can say that you can never go wrong with an Elise Estrella book. Tested and proven. Her writing style is simply enticing like pulling you slowly and slowly and then… bang! It hits you right in the middle of your thighs, I mean heart.
Notorious is not an exemption of her many brilliant works. She wrote it in her own way just enough to not compromise the tone of the book.
What I also love in this book was the blending of class (yeah), sexiness, hotness and especially respect that it naturally emanates in every pages of Notorious. 
I also like Ariadne's character because she was able to let herself out and discover things outside of her shell. I am amazed of her bravery. If I were in her shoes I'd honestly chicken out. LOL
And then she met Roman, a kind of a man whom any woman would dream of. He was so protective and lovable and sexy, and hot. He also got this self-control no man could really beat. Haha!

How amazingly challenging it is to find true love in a place like Obsidian. And how Miss Elise pulled it off in Notorious was just so brilliant for me. #Applause


LOVE SCENES

It was hot and burning, but it could have been way more hotter and burning if it was pumped a little more. I mean... Nevertheless, it still  made me want for more and still want to pull Roman out of the book and let him do the things he did to Ariadne with me. Hahaha! I'm still satisfied. I didn't regret buying this book. That “little” won't stop me from adding this baby on my top list of erotic romance novel collection. #unCut

Book Review: You Loved Me At My Darkest (You Loved Me #1) by Evie Harper


10/10 STEAMY HOT STARS

TITLE: You Loved Me At My Darkest (You Loved Me #1)
AUTHOR: Evie Harper
GENRE: Contemporary Romance/Dark Romance


SYNOPSIS


Lily
Ripped from Heaven, Burned in Hell.
Caught and caged in beauty.
Beauty comes at a cost.
One man holds the key to our survival, to our freedom.
Find out how I lived and lost the greatest thing on earth.
Love.

Jake

I can't help her. I won't.
She is innocence. She is strength.
She is my piece of heaven in hell.

I’m not letting her go.

WARNING: The book contains material that maybe offensive to some readers, including graphic language, dangerous and adult situations.


MY REVIEW

EVIE HARPER wrote a heart-wrenching book with a unique plot and lovable characters. It was not a typical love story where the hero and the heroine bumped into each other and fell in love.
YOU Loved me at my DARKEST is definitely one of the best dark romance  novel of all time. And this kind of plot is a new read to me. I am impressed by Miss Evie's writing prowess; I didn't stop flipping the pages until all the questions in my head are answered. 
The impact it had on me was so strong that it took me hours to process everything that just happened. It's too much to handle I cried buckets.
I  also adore Lily's strength for surpassing the hellish days of her life. If it happened to me, I wouldn’t survive a day. I loved her for being so courageous, but there's a part of the book where I blamed her for what happened. Anyhow, she did it because she wanted 'her' to survive.


LOVE SCENES

Love scenes will always be my favorite part of every book. (Don't judge me. lol) Be it in graphic or not. I know that this is the part where writers are most challenged to write, and I don't see any problem with that with Miss Evie. It reached my expectations. She wrote it like I, myself is making love with Jake.  #steamyhotsex


Favorite line from Lily

"At times like this, I find it hard to breathe when I realise what kind of man Jake is. The most loving, caring, protective man alive. Something so amazing and beautiful spurned from evil, and I'm thankful for it everyday." ~LILY

Jake. Jake. Jake. I am irrevocably in love with this man. A man of his word. A man who will no doubt protect you with his very own life. I love him more for that.


Favorite line from Jake

"But fuck, watching you in pain, watching this ugly world destroy you, it's not just hard, it's crippling." ~JAKE

If you want to read something deep, dark and different from your usual read; I highly recommend this book to you.
You will love the plot as much as I loved it. And you'll love the characters as much as I did.
