In this stunningly sensual sequel to Seven Nights to Surrender, acclaimed author Jeanette Grey reunites readers with a young artist and the man who’ll stop at nothing to have her . . .
Kate Reid’s whirlwind romance with billionaire playboy Rylan Bellamy complicated her life in ways she’d worked to avoid. She’d fallen hard for his flirtatious charm and given him the one thing no other man had: her trust. Just as Kate began to imagine a future with Rylan, everything fell apart.
Now she’s starting over in New York…but even the glittering streets of Manhattan can’t erase the memory of Rylan knocking her off her feet and sweeping her into the most erotic, unforgettable week of her life.
It’s been months, and Rylan still can’t forget Kate. Months since he bared his soul at her feet. Months since he drove away the only woman to ever make him feel. Kate changed his world and now Rylan is determined to win her back-no matter what it takes. After crossing an ocean to reach her, he makes a deal with Kate: One more week, for one more chance. Now it’s up to Rylan to show Kate all the ways they fit together . . . and prove that this player has met his perfect match.
A while back I read my first erotica novel, Seven Nights to Surrender by Jeanette Grey, and although it wasn’t my favorite thing ever, it was also not the worst, and I gained a new appreciation for the genre. Still not one I reach for very often, but I do enjoy it. So when I saw Eight Ways to Ecstasy, the sequel to Seven Nights to Surrender, on Netgalley, I needed to request it.
(Funny thing… the publisher actually denied my request because of country restrictions. But I didn’t fold and wrote to them asking for the book, and they graciously allowed to read and review it… THANK YOU!)
I enjoyed this sequel so so much. I can’t even! I was fangirling the entire time…
While one of the main problems of the first book was the little action and plot, this book breaks both of those problems. Kate and Rylan actually have lives in this book, outside of the time they spend together, and even when together, they actually go out and interact with other people. Also, they have so much going in their lives besides each other… and the characters’ growth! WOW!
I had some problems with Kate’s reactions on the first book, but I finally understood them here. It was such a different thing to see both of them in their element, and the inclusion of friends and family in the story.
I loved their dynamic in this book. Kate was more assertive to some extent, and Rylan was doing whatever he could to make her see how much he wanted “them” to work. But when things fell apart I was actually surprised… the things they said to each other were real, and they were both so right that it hurt a little.
Ultimately, this being an erotica novel and all, there were some HOT scenes. Hotter than the first book actually 😉 . And it was so beautifully written…
Honestly people, I think I’m in love with this book and these characters a bit. I adored it, it was a perfect conclusion to Kate and Rylan’s story, and now I’m excited to read Lexie’s story in the next book. 🙂 So, if you’re into this genre, give this series a go, it’s well worth it.
