REVIEW:SIDE EFFECTS is the fifth instalment in Tara Wyatt’s contemporary, adult THE PRESCOTTS erotic, romance series focusing on the Prescott family. This is paramedics Levi Prescott, and Madison Petrov’s story line. SIDE EFFECTS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Madison and Levi) SIDE EFFECTS follows the forbidden romance and relationship between NYFD paramedics Levi Prescott and Madison Petrov. Madison and Levi had been partnered together on the same rig for close to one year but Madison Petrov has been in a committed relationship. Six months passed since the break up of her engagement and Madison was hoping to take her working relationsthip with Levi to the next level but a relationship between co-workers was against the rules, and Levi and Madison would be outed by the most unlikliest of sources. As Madison and Levi’s ‘friends with benefits’ affair becomes something more, our heroine struggles with betrayal from the past, and the possiblity of losing the man with whom she is falling in love.

Madison Petrov’s previous relationship ended badly, and her mother was hoping they would get back together. With the approach of her sister’s wedding, Madison asks Levi to be her plus-one, heading off any possible entanglements set into motion by her interfering mom. Levi Prescott wants something more with our story line heroine but Levi knows Madison has been burned in the past, and he is biding his time until Madison realizes she had fallen in love. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble of colorful secondary and supporting characters including Levi’s older brother Noah and Hudson,and their cousins Max Prescott (Love Bug 3), Lucian Prescott (Bad Intentions 4); Madison’s sister Sydney, their parents Andrei and Yulia Petrov, as well as Madison’s ex Brock.

SIDE EFFECTS is a story of family and friendships, betrayal and acceptance, moving forward and love. The premise is captivating and consuming, quite a bit lighter than the previous instalment. The romance is seducitve and steamy; the characters are energetic and dynamic.
