NOTE: My review covers Prince Roman by CD Reiss: Sweet Rivalry by K. Bromberg & Falling Under You by Laurelin Paige

PRINCE ROMAN by CD Reiss

PRINCE ROMANCE by CD Reiss is instalment 2.5 in the author’s contemporary, adult KING OF CODE erotic, romance series. This is attorney Roman Bianchi and VP of Human Resources Raven Crosby’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Raven and Roman) follows the building relationship between attorney Roman Bianchi and VP of Human Resources Raven Crosby’. Raven Crosby left her previous employer at QI4 in the wake of a failed inter-company relationship. Newly employed at Neuronet as the VP of Human Resources Raven finds herself attracted to the new legal auditor, a man whose need for Raven is dangerous to both. When Raven offers one weekend only, our heroine struggles with wanting more in the wake of the company no-fraternization policy but all is not as it appears to be, and our heroine may pay the price for falling in love.

The world building focuses on the building but forbidden relationship between our story line couple. Raven has been there, done that, and refuses to get caught in another office romance but the heart was something more, and Roman is a man determined to prove she is worthy of love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to several co-workers, both current and former, including Raven’s assistant Masy, former boss and ex-lover Taylor, and company co-founder Marie Siska.

PRINCE ROMAN is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control,acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is engaging and entertaining; the romance is passionate; the characters are determined and desperate.

SWEET RIVALRY by K. Bromberg

SWEET RIVALRY by K. Bromberg is a stand alone, adult, contemporary erotic, romance storyline. This is Ryder Rodgers and Harper Denton’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ryder and Harper) SWEET RIVALRY is a second chance story line that follows the rekindling relationship between former college rivals-Ryder Rodgers and Harper Denton. Thirteen years earlier Ryder and Harper’s tenuous and complicated relationship was destroyed by a classroom competition that saw hour heroine moving forward without looking back. Fast forward thirteen years wherein Harper and Ryder are once again competing but in a professional capacity. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Harper and Ryder, and the battle to see who will come out on top.

Harper has always harbored feelings of lust and attraction for Ryder Rodgers but never expected her feelings to be reciprocated in any way. Their competitive nature finds the couple in a constant state of sexual awareness and energy even as they both struggle for the same job.

The relationship between Harper and Ryder is acrimonious. Harper’s attraction to Ryder keeps our heroine on the defensive with cutting remarks and a sharp-tongued retort at every turn. Ryder knows that the woman he lost years before is the same woman he desires when all is said and done. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

SWEET RIVALRY is a quick read; a novella length, stand alone second chance story line between two people whose attraction to one another has never waivered; whose need for one another will be tested during the heat of battle and competition. The premise is imaginative and stirring; the romance is fiery and spirited; the characters are passionate, colorful and energetic. SWEET RIVALRY is an engaging and hopeful tale of rivals in love and life.

FALLING UNDER YOU by Laurelin Paige

FALLING UNDER YOU (Fixed 4.5) by Laurelin Paige is an adult, contemporary, erotic romance novella. This is chief financial advisor at Pierce Industries Norma Anders, and PA Boyd Barrett’s story line. FALLING UNDER YOU runs parallel to the events in Laurelin’s FIXED series, and the FOUND DUET, and can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous series is revealed where necessary. FALLING UNDER YOU covers approximately 2-3 years in story line time.

Told from first person point of view (Norma) FALLING UNDER YOU is an erotic story line that focuses on a forbidden romance between office colleagues-a romance predicated on Domination and submission. Norma Anders is a successful business woman; a take charge CFA for Pierce Industries, and a woman who has fallen for her boss Pierce Hudson. Enter Boyd Barrett, Norma’s PA, and the man who will take charge and dominate Norma in the bedroom and in love. What ensues is a ‘secret affair’ between Norma and Boyd- a relationship that finds our heroine submitting to a man she ‘dominates’ at work.

FALLING UNDER is a story line that crosses over between Laurelin’s FIXED trilogy, and her FOUND DUET. Norma is Gwen’s sister (Found Duet), and is in desperate need of stepping back from her life. Throughout the original series the author hints at Norma’s possible relationship with Boyd, but we are never privy to the intimate details or the nature of the D/s exchange. At times, the story line advances several months in which we do not have access to the building relationship and in this I struggled with the lack of details as to their building love-for all intents and purposes, the story focused on the D/s exchange skipping most everything else in their personal lives. The premise is entertaining and provocative; the characters are captivating and charismatic; the romance is seductive, erotic and intense. If you are a fan of Paige’s FIXED TRILOGY and the FOUND DUET, FALLING UNDER YOU should not be missed.
