Blurb

Uptight CPA, JULIE TILLING is tired of doing the right thing. When her friend from high school dies and Julie is the only one who believes he didn’t commit suicide, she takes it upon herself to explore the circumstances surrounding his death. When the investigation takes her into a world of sexy nightclubs and a one night stand that has her heart melting, Julie finds a naughty side of herself she didn’t know existed.

DAMON COREY didn’t come to Maine to become a shock jock. But when his dream of becoming a concert pianist seems unobtainable, the radio station’s offer is too good to pass up. Unfortunately, the one night stands and empty relationships are getting old—that is until a mysterious brunette falls into his arms and wraps around his heart making him believe in love.

With their passion overheating and their sexual encounters exploding, Damon and Julie work to see beyond the masks that have protected them from the world. But will Damon’s enigmatic shock jock persona become Julie’s sexual undoing and reveal Damon as the missing piece that solves the puzzling questions surrounding her friend’s death?

This is a modern day tale of sleeping beauty with kink. CPA Julie has spent her life taking care of everyone else until the death of her best friend sends her on a solo mission to uncover the truth. She dons a disguise and persona that awakens a slumbering beast inside her. Beast, thy name is Sensuality.  Her libido is thrown into overdrive when her mission takes her to a club where exhibition and sex go hand in hand. When she tangles with our hero their consummation is passionate and more personal than either intends.

 Dark and mysterious with a goo filled center his persona hides away.  Damon is the best of both worlds.  Intelligent and sensitive he’s forced to play a role he despises to survive.  Julie see’s through his guise and together they take a journey through a wonderland of sexual exploration that may make some squirm .The  mystery that surrounds her best friend Jason’s death takes her to a seedy under world unlike any she’s ever been exposed to

I don’t want to show my knowledge of Shrek, but these characters have layers like onion. Each time Nina peels away more skin we learn something we didn’t know, or expect. Nina has a way with mystery. She tells the reader just enough to make them think they have the puzzle solved. Only to turn around and reveal they were dead wrong. Blind love has it all. A romance that ranges from sweet, to sensual, to holy crap my eyes may fall out of their sockets. Characters that are well develop and a setting you relate to from the first paragraph.

  This book surpassed my expectations and I would def recommend it as a read. I have to repeat though that this is not for those with vanilla taste, we get some m/m loving, along with sexual exhibition and hints of BDSM.

The lesson Nina learned early on as a writer is that any tale -- regardless of genre, erotica or literary -- must have dynamic characters and an engaging story which moves towards a powerful conclusion. The reader revels in that reward every time. Conversely, all the sex/rayguns/monsters/scary psychopaths/etc. that you heap on to cover the gaping deficit of good storytelling with great characters will never suffice. Job well done, Nina!
