CONFESSED by NICOLA RENDELL

So in Confessed we spent a – hot flush – ride with Lucy, who is Naomi’s best friend from Professed which we read and enjoyed too. Both books can be read as standalones so if this one tickles your fancy first then read it and be swept up in one passionately intense Bonnie and Clyde style ride that’ll burn the tips of your fingers and steal your heart in the same breath.

“We’ve got a problem.”

“Do we?”

“Yeah. I had this whole plan for today. Until you ran me off the road”

“I said I was sorry.”

“Fuck sorry. There’s a new plan. I want to make some bad fucking decisions with you…”

Having read Professed then moving straight onto Confessed we definitely noticed a difference in the second book by Nicola Rendell. It had more depth and polish and she’s certainly got a knack for hot and sexy alpha males with a vulnerable side. Once again Confessed is another easy and highly entertaining read which hits the target for readers who love their erotica and feel like indulging for a couple of hours. It had us riveted that’s for sure for those very delicious reasons.

‘There’s that phrase, an awakening. I never understood that until now, but that’s what’s happening to me. I know it. I love it. I need it. That trust, no inhibitions. No shame. That’s the thing that brings tears to my eyes. In front of him, I have no shame. I can be whatever I want. Whatever I am.’

Lucy on first impression is quite the spoilt airy fairy rich girl who needs her driving licence revoked because wow…stand back! However, when circumstances change and she becomes the daughter of a wanted man up for fraud who quite frankly drops her right in it, we see a different side of her. A very very different side once she literally bangs into Vince Russo.  She’s a flighty yet adorable and sassy girl.

“Peaches, we don’t choose where we come from. We only choose where we go.”

Vince Russo…hang on while we pick ourselves up off the floor where we’ve just spent a considerable amount of time in a hot puddle. This man is the definition of tattooed bad-arse alpha male. He was LUSH! Not only that, he had real heart and was creatively talented and gifted in many many things and ways.

‘Deep in my chest I feel this rush, this need, this fucking burning desire to protect her. Even from herself, even from her bad dreams.’

We loved the characters, the story development and as far as erotica is concerned this is definitely one of those that pack a punch as it was well written, flawless in characterisation and story. Erotica with an emotional beating heart.

Now excuse us while we go look for our bobby pins…..
