ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 23, 2020

I was stolen. Hidden.
Trapped in a hell beyond salvation.

Until him. Luca.
The man who changed everything with his soothing words and vows of protection.

I shouldn’t trust him.
What he promises is something I gave up on long ago.
And yet here I am, falling under the spell of a reality I crave.

I want him to save me. I need it.
But I also learned long ago that the most ruthless men can hide behind pretty words and prettier faces.

•••••••

REVIEW:  SAVIOR is the fourth instalment in Eden Summers’ contemporary, adult HUNTING HER dark, erotic, romantic suspense series, and part one of Penny Decker and ex Navy SEAL Luca’s duet that follows the rescue of Penny Decker, and the take down of a sexual trafficking ring. SAVIOR can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order for back story, history and cohesion as there is an interconnected plot line throughout.

NOTE: SAVIOR contains scenes that may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Penny and Luca) SAVIOR focuses on the rescue of Penny Decker, the sister of Sebastian Decker, and the woman with whom Luca will fall in love. Eighteen months earlier Penny Decker disappeared and has been held captive in Greece, as a sexual slave along with several other women, by crime lord Luther Torian. Luther Torian is the estranged father of Cole Torian (Torian #3) and Keira Torian (Decker #2), and as such the siblings know a thing or two about the need to take down their father and the men he has working and controlling his business.

Penny Decker is a strong willed young woman but a woman left vulnerable by the abuse and torture by Luther Torian. With the arrival of her would-be rescuers Penny struggles with issues of trust, PTSD, and the knowledge that abusers hide behind secrets and lies. Believing herself broken, and an embarrassment to her family, Penny is reluctant to leave the hellhole she has called her prison for eighteen months. Luca’s assignment, along with the other members of the team, is to find Penny Decker, and take down the man responsible for destroying so many lives but Luca never expected to come face to face with a woman that would call to his heart.

The relationship between Luca and Penny is that of victim and rescuer; an immediate attraction that does not go unnoticed by Penny’s brother Sebastian Decker. There is no romance or love, there is only the knowledge that Penny and the other women have been defenceless against a monster who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters including Cole Torian and Anissa Fox, Sebastian Decker and Keira Torian, Luke Hunter, Cole and Keira’s half-brother Tobias, their father Luther Torian; several other captive women, and the men who live to torture and abuse.

SAVIOR is a dark, gritty and raw story of betrayal and vengeance, and the dysfunctional dynamics of the Torian family, and the legacy imparted to the vulnerable heirs. The premise is heart breaking and astonishing; the characters are broken but strong, tragic yet impassioned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 25, 2019.

He’s my nemesis.
My tormentor.
A notorious criminal with a smoldering smile to mask the devil hidden beneath.

Conniving. Threatening. Brutal.
He stalks me from the shadows.
Makes me itch to place him behind bars.

But he has an offer I can’t refuse.
A major risk with the perfect reward.

I can’t let down my guard.
Can’t be tempted to trust him.

Not even when I begin to understand his corrupt ways.

Because the only face the devil shows is the one he wants you to see.
And all I’m seeing is hunger.

••••••••••••

REVIEW: TORIAN is the third instalment in Eden Summer’s contemporary, adult HUNTING HER romantic, mafia style, suspense series. This is Cole Torian, and FBI agent Anissa Fox’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cole and Anissa) TORIAN focuses on the take down of crime-lord Luther Torian. Following the arrest and subsequent escape of Luther Torian, Special Agent Anissa Fox finds herself drugged and a virtual prisoner of Luther’s son Cole Torian. Arriving in Greece, Anissa has no means of escape but soon discovers Cole’s plans behind Anissa’s abduction, plans that point at Luther’s demise. What ensues is the acrimonious and tempestuous relationship between Cole and Anissa, and the fall-out as Anissa becomes a pawn in a game between father and son.

Cole Torian despises his father and uncle for their control of sexual slavery, drugs and human trafficking. Hoping to put an end to his father’s control, and his uncle’s legacy, Cole sets into motion a plan to take down the monster he once called father. Anissa Fox struggles with her place within the FBI. Her father’s dirty history has tainted our story line heroine, a taint that will continue when she begins to fall for Cole Torian.

The relationship between Cole and Nissa is an enemies to frenemies back to enemies relationship that struggles with issues of trust, secrets, lies and betrayal. Cole and Nissa battle their attraction to one another, attraction that leads to sexual involvement but romance and a happily ever after may not in their future.

We are re-introduced to Hunter and Sarah, Decker and Keira, as well as Cole’s half-brother Tobias, their father Luther Torian, his sexual slave Penny, as well as a number of hitmen, security guards and Cole’s friend, ex-Navy SEAL Luca.

TORIAN is a heart breaking story of family, blood, betrayal and vengeance. The premise is dark and gritty; the characters are colorful but broken. TORIAN ends on a cliff-hanger, and I hope there is a happily ever after in their future.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date 28, 2018

He protected me from danger and became my biggest threat.

He’s my defender. My savior.
A brutally determined man with a cocky smirk and an equally cocky attitude.

Broad. Strong. Focused.
He seduces me with his flirtation.
Warms me with his care.

But he’s hiding something.
There are ulterior motives beyond his concern for my security.
A thirst for more than my safe keeping.

I can’t fall for him. Can’t be tempted by his touch.

Not when he can’t be trusted.

But questioning my protector means I’ve now become his target.

•••••••••

REVIEW: DECKER is the second instalment in Eden Summers’ contemporary, adult, erotic romantic, suspense series. This is Sebastian Decker, and Keira Torian’s story line. DECKER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalment is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sebastian and Keira) DECKER follows the acrimonious relationship between Sebastian Decker, and Keira Torian. Sebastian Decker is all about the protection of his boss’ sister Keira Torian but as a member of one of the most dangerous crime families, Keira’s innocence is often questioned. When a recent drive by threatens Keira and everyone she loves, Decker becomes personal body guard and lover to a woman who whose issues of trust place Decker in the direct line of fire. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Decker and Keira, and the potential fall-out as secrets, lies, betrayal and blood may be too deep and painful to overcome.

DECKER is a story of suspense as our leading couple are forced to run. Targeted for who they are, and what they know, Decker will discover that trust comes at a cost, a trust that is broken, perhaps beyond repair.

The relationship between Decker and Keira is one of immediate attraction but an attraction that has been simmering for several months. As the daughter, and sister of the heads of the crime family Keira knows more than she is willing to reveal but her issues of trust place she and Decker in a precarious position of power and control. The $ex scenes are erotic, passionate and intense but once again I struggle with the use of a certain four-letter word, used only once more for shock value than anything else, but a word I find unnecessary in a romance story line.

We are reintroduced to Hunter and Sarah (Hunter #1), as well as Keira’s brother Cole Tarian. Cole’s story line is next.

The world building follows the dark and dangerous relationship between Decker and Keira, a relationship built upon secrets, lies and deceit; a relationship where trust is fleeting, betrayal is imminent, and heart break is real.

DECKER is a dramatic and tense story of family, blood, honor and pain. The premise is intriguing and suspenseful; the romance is spicy, electric and startling; the characters are broken, angry, powerful and rebellious. DECKER is a captivating and visceral story line of power, retribution, and control. DECKER ends on a cliff-hanger, you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 27, 2018

The hunter has become the hunted.

I’ve been running for ten years—fleeing my past and clawing my way toward an inescapable act of vengeance. Finally, I can taste revenge on the tip of my tongue.

Until he walks into my life, sure and strong and full of secrets.

He dilutes my thirst for retribution with his touch. He obliterates my need for solitude with his kiss. But it’s his hidden agenda that makes the hair on the back of my neck prickle.

He wants something. Something that doesn’t revolve around sweaty skin and tangled silk sheets like he’d have me believe.

I have to stop falling for him, otherwise the last ten years will all be for nothing. I need to keep running, keep fighting for vengeance, even though I know he will track me down.

But trying to escape him is just another problem. Because now I crave the hunt.

•••••••••

REVIEW:  HUNTER by Eden Summers is a contemporary, adult, stand alone, erotic, romantic suspense story line focusing on revenge, betrayal and power. This is ‘contractor’ Luke Hunter, and Sarah Carmichael’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sarah and Luke) HUNTER follows Steph, aka Emma, aka Sarah as she goes in search of the man that destroyed her life and her family, ten years earlier. What Sarah never expected was to come face to face with a man who is desperate to find out what our heroine knows in order to protect her from herself and from the man in charge. What ensues is the back and forth, antagonistic relationship between Sarah and Hunter, and the fall-out as Sarah must face down a man more powerful than she could have imagined.

Sarah has no idea the can of worms she has upended in her attempt to take down the man that shattered her life but finding the man brings her up close and personal with the darker side of vengeance. Hunter is a contractor whose target is the woman with whom he will fall in love but a woman searching for the same thing as our story line hero. Vigilante justice or an avenging angel, Sarah knows only that she must exact and impose her own form of punishment against a killer who shows no remorse for the things he has done.

HUNTER is fast paced, action packed story of retribution and vengeance: of one woman’s need to avenge the deaths of the people she loved, and one man desperate to protect the bull-headed woman with whom he has fallen in love. The premise is intriguing and entertaining; the characters are colorful, hardened and charismatic; the romance is erotic and intense but, once again, I take issue with a certain four –letter word that holds no place in a romantic story line of any genre. HUNTER is a raw, gritty, dark and engrossing story that will capture your imagination. I hope the author has plans for some of the secondary characters including Decker and Torian.

RUSH OF INSANITY by Eden Summers-a review

Rush of Insanity

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 1, 2016

She won’t go down without a fight…and he’s looking forward to it.

Harper left the world famous solo artist, Judd Hart, over a year ago. No matter how much she cared for him, their worlds were miles apart. All they shared was great sex and the ability to drive each other crazy. So why is she at his concert, drooling over the sound of his delicious voice, when she’s spent months convincing herself they can never work?

Letting Harper walk out on him was the biggest mistake of Judd’s life. And now that he’s sighted her amongst the crowd, he won’t let her run away again. Not even if it means holding her hostage on his tour bus until he can seduce some sense into her. They have a lot to work out, but this time, he will do whatever it takes to convince her they have a future.

Apart, their lives are smooth sailing. Together, it’s pure craziness. But sometimes it’s okay to enjoy the rush of insanity.

•••••••

REVIEW: RUSH OF INSANITY by Eden Summers is a stand alone, second chance rock star romance novella focusing on world famous solo artist Judd Hart, and the woman he loves Harper Douglas-a stylist who was once hired as part of his tour.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Harper and Judd) RUSH OF INSANITY focuses on Judd’s attempts to ‘win’ back the woman who walked away fifteen months earlier. With his concert appearance in Harper’s hometown of Denver, Judd hopes that Harper is in attendance because he is determined to make her a permanent part of his life but not before he uncovers the reasons she walked away months before.

Harper is a feisty and oft-times crazy female; a woman who believes she is not worthy of Judd’s love or the lifestyle he leads, and in this she struggles with her love and need for one of music’s biggest stars. Judd lives for the music and the stage, but finds the ‘extras’ too much, and in this he has something in common with Harper Douglas. The sexual attraction is palpable; there is a frenetic energy between our leading couple. Their need for one another is impassioned and intense; the lone $ex scene is seductive and emotional.

RUSH OF INSANITY is a quick read; a passionate story about two people whose lives imploded months before.

RECKLESS RENDEZVOUS (Reckless Beat 4.5) by Eden Summers

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 16, 2015

One kiss sends Leah Gorman’s life into a tailspin.

After years sacrificing herself for Reckless Beat, Leah needs to catch her breath. She has to escape the constant chaos and revive her frayed nerves. There’s no better place than Vegas and the memory of a heavily-inked man with talented hands to make her heart palpitate for reasons other than stress. Logan is exactly what she needs right now… Or is he? Her pleasure comes at a price, and she will be left to question every aspect of her life and what her future holds.

This novella starts straight after the events of Sultry Groove (Reckless Beat 4) and will lead you into the final book of the Reckless Beat series.

••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: RECKLESS RENDEZVOUS is a novella length story that focuses on Leah Gorman-Reckless Beat’s manager-and a woman who has lost her identity and her life to the business and the band. When an ill-timed kiss from Reckless Beat guitarist Ryan sends Leah into a tale-spin, our heroine heads to Vegas where she goes in search of herself and a one night stand to make her forget about the man back home.

Told from third person perspective (Leah) RECKLESS RENDEZVOUS follows Leah as she endeavors to forget about the kiss, the man, and the heartbreaking loneliness while searching for someone or something in Las Vegas. Enter sexy, tattoo and body modification artist Logan-the man who will offer up one night of passion with no strings attached. But Leah’s strings are tied to the band, and one man in particular.

RECKLESS RENDEZVOUS is a very quick read; an emotional short story about one woman’s search for herself and her future that doesn’t include the man with whom she had fallen in love. The premise is impassioned; the characters are heartbreaking and real; the happily ever after has yet to come. Eden Summers will tease your Reckless Beat journey with a taste of what is to come.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 8, 2015

He wants the world and the admiration of everyone in it.

Sean Taiden, the inconspicuous drummer of Reckless Beat, is sick of living in the shadows of his bandmates’ success. He’ll do anything to gain the recognition he deserves. Even if it means dancing in a music video to the Reckless track that drives a knife into his broken heart whenever he hears it. The saving grace is the tempting choreographer who may be the one person able to distract him from the agony his life has become.

All she wants is the peace that comes with solitude.

Melody Jenkins knows all about fame. She knows enough to determine she doesn’t want a part of it anymore. After quitting her professional dance career, she set up a quiet studio and focused on starting a new beginning away from prying eyes. Until a sexy drummer strides into her life, making her crave something she can’t have while also pushing her to expose secrets she can’t bear to reveal.

Conflicting aspirations and one inextinguishable passion.

She needs to hide from the world she once owned. He wants to rise to the top, proving to himself and his friends that he’s always been the heartbeat of the band. Caught between what they need and what they want, Melody and Sean have to decide which is more important—their individual plans for the future or their feelings for one another.

••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: SULTRY GROOVE is the fourth installment in Eden Summers’s contemporary, adult RECKLESS BEAT erotic, romance series focusing on the rock band Reckless Beat. This is drummer Sean Taiden, and choreographer Melody Jenkins’s storyline. SULTRY GROOVE can be read as a stand alone without too much difficulty although I recommend reading the series in order as each storyline builds upon the events of the previous book.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Sean and Melody) SULTRY GROOVE focuses on Melody and Sean as they rehearse for an upcoming video for the band’s latest release Fighting Against Attraction. Sean isn’t is a good place –emotionally or mentally-and watching his band mates find love and their happily ever after increases the unhappiness in the drummer’s life. Sean wants to be noticed; he is sick of being ignored by the fans and the paparazzi; and living in the shadows isn’t doing anything for his rock and roll ego. When the chance comes to star in the band’s latest video, Sean jumps at the chance only to come face to face with the most beautiful but damaged woman he has ever met. Hoping to use Melody as a distraction to everything that has gone wrong in his life, Sean begins a sexual seduction of the choreographer only to realize that Melody is the woman he wants in his life.

Melody is hiding a secret; a secret from her friends, family and everyone she holds close including the man with whom she is falling love. And it is that secret that keeps Melody from the life that she once loved, and from telling Sean the truth about why she no longer dances in the spotlight or in front of a crowd. I will add that Melody’s issues of self-esteem and her need to constantly pull back and away, were both heartbreaking and frustrating.

The sexual attraction between Melody and Sean is immediate but Melody’s first introduction to Sean finds our hero drunk and disorderly as the celebration of Mason and Sidney’s engagement. Sean has always had a thing for Sidney, and tries to use Melody as an outlet for his pent-up need to distract himself from his best friend’s happiness and future life. What ensues is a growing love between Melody and Sean, until both realize that each other is keeping secret something dark in their pasts. The $ex scenes are erotic, intense and provocative.

The world building continues to focus on the rock and roll lifestyle of Reckless Beat: the tours, the music, their personal lives, and the potential breakdown of each member of the band. The wall between Sean, Mason and Sidney continues to grow, and with it a much larger wall between Melody and Sean.

SULTRY GROOVE is a Beauty and the Beast storyline where Beast comes in the most unexpected presence. Both Melody and Sean’s egos and self esteem are tightly wound to their talent and career choices, and with it we watch as Melody’s life follows a different path, while Sean gets lost in the darkened shadows of his fellow musicians.

Eden Summers writes an emotional storyline about two broken souls who find one another when needed the most. The premise is intoxicating-you can feel the artistry of the movements in the dance. The characters are engaging, charismatic and animated-their jealousy and rivalries are not unexpected in a world fixated on beauty and perfection. The romance is a slow seduction of body and mind.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 27, 2015

He’ll do anything to protect her. Even if it means letting her go.

Vault of Sin, Book 2

Tate Jackson made a big mistake. No, a monumental one. He picked the wrong place to introduce his wife, Cassie, to the alluring lifestyle they’d fantasized about.

Instinct told him to get her out of the poor excuse for a sex club—but he didn’t. And she was assaulted because of his carelessness. He’ll do anything to protect her from another traumatic experience, even if it means making the agonizing choice to convince his wife he no longer loves her.

Cassie’s not buying it. In fact, Tate is the last person she blames for that horrific night. She’s willing to give him the space he thinks he needs to get his head straight, but when divorce papers arrive, she realizes she’s out of time. She has twenty-eight days to figure out why Tate is ruining a perfect marriage. Twenty-eight days to figure out what he’s hiding. But when she learns the truth, she has to decide if her heart can take the strain of piecing their love back together.

•••••••••••••••

REVIEW: UNION OF SIN is the second installment in Eden Summers adult, contemporary Vault of Sin erotic, romance series focusing on three friends-Leo, TJ (Tate) and Brute (Brian)- who own a private sex club known as the Vault of Sin where anything goes between consenting adults. This is TJ (Tate Jackson), and Cassie Jackson’s storyline-a second chance at love and a happily ever after. UNION OF SIN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous storyline is imparted where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives (TJ and Cassie) UNION OF SIN follows the breakdown and rebuilding of TJ and Cassie’s marriage. TJ holds himself responsible for the attempted assault by another male, against his wife, and in this our hero has withdrawn any and all affection leading to the disillusionment of their marriage. Six months after the attack, TJ moves out of the house leaving a heartbroken and confused Cassie behind. What ensues are Cassie’s attempts to uncover the truth about her husband, and her need to win back the man she loves at any cost.

UNION OF SIN finds TJ lost in a world of guilt and grief. One year earlier, to keep his fantasies alive, TJ brought his wife into a different kind of sex club where things went from bad to worse in a short period of time. TJ’s need to punish himself for the wrongs against his wife found our hero destroying the love and the heart of the woman who calls to his soul. The seduction scenes are intriguing; the $ex scenes between our leading couple of impassioned and heartbreaking.

The secondary and supporting characters include TJ’s Vault of Sin partners Leo, and girlfriend Shay ( A Shot of Sin #1), and Brian (aka Brute). Like many ensemble storylines of partnerships, the Leo and Brute play an integral role in TJ’s need to accept and understand his guilt and grief. At times, the advice was harsh and real.

UNION OF SIN is an emotional storyline. I may have shed a tear or three; I was a bit of a mess as I was pulled into the drama of one man’s guilt, and the woman whose heartbreak was too much to bear. The premise is sensitive and profound; the characters are tragic, emotional and intense; the romance is a slow build to a happily ever after. UNION OF SIN is an erotic look at two people whose love for one another is full of anguish and pain due to a misdirected guilt about the what ifs and whys.

Shay is a sassy and feisty woman who has been attracted to her boss for months but an almost-quickie, weeks before, in the storage closet left Shay angry and hurt when Leo Petrova walked away without a good bye or an explanation. For months, Shay has watched from the sidelines as Leo worked his magic at the club but it is his disappearing acts into the underground bar that has Shay concerned and worried. When an opportunity presents itself, Shay is asked to work at The Vault but what Shay never expected was to find herself working the bar in an illegal sex club for high end clientele where the man that she has loved from afar is front and center in all of the activities.

The relationship between Shay and Leo is intense, dramatic and hands off. Leo’s needs in the sex department have him pushing away the one woman with whom he considered for a long term relationship but it is his needs in the after hours club that will probably frighten away the woman who stars in his erotic dreams. The sex scenes are provocative, emotional, seductive and arousing. Nothing is off limits between consenting adults. The Vault is not a BDSM club but a sex club for willing adults who are looking for something different in their lives.

The supporting and secondary characters include Leo’s friends and partners-TJ and Brute. Like Leo, TJ and Brute have a past marred by a broken heart and loss due to the lifestyle they have chosen. These three friends nurture and support one another’s decisions, participate in the imaginative and fascinating lifestyle, and feel the same emotional pain and heartbreaking anguish when rejection eats away at a lonely heart.

The world building takes the reader behind the door at The Vault. We are witness to mutually consenting acts of sex-for pleasure, for control, for comforting needs but at all times safe and secure in the privacy of The Vault.

Eden Summers weaves a seductive spell of sensuality. There are moments of intimate arousal and romantic passion; the intense need between two people is off set by the knowledge that Shay may not be enough for the man that she loves but in the end Shay and Leo will get their happily ever after. Here’s hoping TJ and Brute will find the same kind of love in the arms of a woman who will accept everything they have to offer…and more.
