Review: Because I Said So by Beth Kery

Because I Said So

by Beth Kery

(Because You Are Mine # 5)

There are some things in life that one could be only so lucky to get a good instructor to guide you through them.  Ian manages to be that great instructor on two things for Francesca.  He teaches her how to drive and the art of the blowjob.

Really not a whole lot more than this happened in these two chapters.  Of course I can't complain because wow that was hot!  Ian was as always extremely hot and over the top, going as far as hiring a personal shopper and tailor for Francesca.  He also lets go of some of his control at times, but never 100%.  I can't imagine if and when he does.

Francesca was a bit on the annoying side for me when she gets defensive about him having to accept her the way she was and if that meant that she couldn't afford to buy a dress to attend an event with him then that meant he had to deal with it not buy her a dress.  It is childish to think that such a rich man, that wants to bring you as his date to a fancy party, would be ok with you showing up in your own clothes only to feel out of place.  That's more common sense than him trying to buy her.  But that's just my opinion.

And if you have to take one sentence away from this review of what to expect in this installment, then take this:

"I happen to be very demanding when it comes to fellatio."

Review: Because You Must Learn by Beth Kery

Because You Must Learn

by Beth Kery

(Because You Are Mine # 4)

This week's edition is all about sex and punishment!  The kiddie gloves are off and Ian Noble is finally going for what he wants from Beth and boy! *fans self* Francesca was in for a couple of rounds of "power drive."

"Did that arouse you?" he asked, kissing her lips softly.  "Letting me use your body for my pleasure?"

I really can't say there was any major development in their relationship or in the overall story in these two chapters.  We didn't really learn a whole lot other than the fact that Ian has an amazing mouth (is he part snake?) and is pretty damn good with a crop. ;)

"It would please me if you slapped me...between my thighs."

Francesca is dealing with her own feelings about the way she reacts to all the BDSM stuff Ian is exposing her to.  She should be disgusted by it not turned on, right?  She's also finding it hard to deal with that Ian wants to have so much control over her. 

I still think she's incredibly naive and Ian very overbearing and at times a bit of an ass.  In the book it all seems so glamourized and Ian just comes across as the hottest thing around but if I were to be in a relationship with that guy...someone better have the bail money ready.

"The day isn't over yet, Francesca."

I can't wait for the next part of this story!

Review: Because You Haunt Me by Beth Kery

Because You Haunt Me

(Because You Are Mine # 3)

Gahhhhh *pulls hair out* the torture of waiting for each one of these to come out.  Then I devour it and I am left waiting for my next fix.  I swear I'm not shaking in a corner.  Promise.

Why I loved this installment?  Well lets see... Ian has become completely larger than life.  The man is not only a billionaire, but his family sits on the board of a prestigious art museum in Paris, as well as owning a palace?  Ohh and he owns his own plane, you know, to travel in style.  If you have a thing for powerful man that can have anything they want, and they want you, then you'll love Ian.  Of course, he also looks really good in a suit.

Then how can you not love a book where a guy takes you on a date after hours to the art museum,  and says the following while you are sitting in front of a well known Aphrodite statue:

“I thought I could wait. I can’t,” he muttered, and she heard the harsh regret in his tone.

He looked into her face as his hands caressed her thighs and hips, and she felt herself heating the cool marble.

“If I don’t taste you now, I think I’ll die. And if I taste you, I won’t be able to stop. I’m going to have to fuck you here and now.”

And the rest of what happens there I'll leave to your imagination.

I know a lot of people are not fans of having to wait for the next two chapters every week but I am enjoying it.  It's driving me crazy but it's different and I don't mind it.  Now if only we could get the author to not leave us hanging when things are about to get interesting every week maybe I could keep my sanity.  Be warned... once you start reading this you won't be able to stop!

(Because You Are Mine # 2)

Oh.My.Gawwwddddd!!! The torture I put myself through!  Again another great installment in this story, this one a lot more intense and sexually charged than the first one.

Beth Kery has created a smoking hot, possessive alpha, sexy billionaire hero that gets my heart racing every time and a heroine that through her innocence she is still not afraid of going after a man with such experience and intensity as Ian.

I am starting to call this series my personal crack.  Everytime I get to the end of the installment I seem to always scream "No! Please don't leave me hanging there for another week!  I need more!".  So job very well done Ms. Kery for getting me to drop almost everything else I'm reading at the time 1am rolls around on release day so I can read my Francesca & Ian fix.

And did I mention already how awesome that heroine's name is?  *huge grin*

Because You Tempt Me

(Because You Are Mine # 1)

This has to be a mini review because it was only two chapters but here it goes.  When I first heard about this series I knew I had to read it.  # 1 The heroine's name is Francesca, so hellloooooooo MUST READ! # 2 I loved the concept how the whole story would actually be released every Monday in tidbits.

So 7/31 comes around I waited until about 1am and got the first book.  Of course I finished it before going to bed.  And here's what I thought.

I think the author did an amazing job at whetting my appetite for this story with the short amount of words I actually got in this first installment.  It is only about two chapters long and we are just introduced to the characters and their first meeting.

Francesca is an artist.  She has been picked by a billionaire to do an art piece that will be displayed at a building he owns.  He's throwing a party in her name.  But he's never met her.  Francesca is the mousy type of heroine, which is usually not my favorite.  Seems like she was lacking a backbone that I'm hoping to see developed as the story goes along.  She is immediately smitten with Ian.  And he is in return.

Ian wasn't planning on even stopping by or meeting Francesca but one look changed his whole night.  Sparks were flying almost instantly.  Ian IS my type of hero.  At least the mysterious, successful, man in charge and powerful, alpha male, that I love to read about.

A few things I have come away with from reading this short story... I'll never look at fencing the same way, I wish I could paint, and I need to go find my own sexy Ian!  On that note...damn Ms. Kery for stopping this installment right where it was getting good.  Next Monday seems so far away!  But I have to have more!
