Seriously, I think Beth Kery has a contract out to kill me! She ends the story at the best parts!!! My only blessing was this week after finishing part two, I had part three to read. After I finished part three, I was lost. I had no part four.

Part two: This section shows you the domineering side of Ian (and I loved it!) He knows that she is too good for him and he is willing to say or do anything to keep her away but he still drags himself back to her. To me, this part takes off when Ian barges...more

4.5/5 STARS

"Because You Haunt Me" starts in the aftermath of Ian and Francesca's brief, though intense separation (for lack of a better word). Because Francesca haunts him (yes, I'm shamelessly using the titles of the books in my reviews. idgaf), Ian can't spend another minute without her, and makes her an extremely hot, though rather outrageous offer.

He wants to get her out of his system, and he is aware that a quick fuck won't do it. But he goes for it, and he tells Cesca straight on that ther...more

"Because You Are Mine Part III: Because You Haunt Me" by Beth Kery is the 3rd part of a novella that's been divided into 8 parts.
In part 3, Ian knows just how innocent Francesca is (maybe too innocent for someone like him) and finds himself struggling with whether or not to pursue her. He knows it's best just to let her go. For good. But at the same time he can't stop thinking about her. He must have her...possess her...completely and at all costs.
After that night at Ian's penthouse, Francesca a...more

But I still can’t stop thinking about you. I must have you. Completely. Frequently . . . and at all costs


After their emotionally traumatic parting at the end of the last episode they are both avoiding one another but Ian cannot get Francesca out of his mind. She haunts his every waking moment and also his dreams - he must have her. Francesca felt only shame at what had passed between them but, when faced with Ian wielding his incredible influence and wealth to manufacture a meeting between them...more

This review was posted at Under the Covers

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 trav...more

Have you ever signed up for a convention or a seminar? Bought your ticket, was kind of excited to get out of town and go somewhere new...You get there and everything is just lush; you get all settled in and you're happy with your decision that you decided to come. Then about an hour in to the first speaker you realize this isn't exactly what you thought it would be and you sort of just want to go back home? But on the same note, you're conflicted about feeling that way because you paid money to...more

I was extremely hesitant to pick up this series by Beth Kery because I wasn't a big fan at all of her previous book I read, Wicked Burn.

Needless-to-say I ventured into it with wary hesitation. I was at first relieved that each book was a sort of short story that continues into the next. This was good when I discovered this because I realized that if I didn't like it, I wouldn't feel like I had wasted to much of my time.

Well… I worked through the first one and before I realized it, it was finishe...more

If you loved Fifty and Bared to You, you're going to like this series, maybe not quite as much.

These 2 chapter mini books tell the story of Francesca, the innocent, and Ian, the dominant. Francesca is an artist who wins a competition for her painting, sponsored by Ian's company. Ian is a controlling millionaire, who wants Francesca before he's even met her.

Whilst I like the idea of having a book serial, its kind of frustrating that I have to wait 5 days before I can read the next one. I know tha...more

Join me on my blog every Tuesday through September 18 2012, where Beth Kery will sit down for an interview, answer some readers questions from the week before and give away an installment of Because You Are Mine! (US/UK) Ana's Attic Sexy Tales

Because You Are Mine 3, Because You Haunt Me by Beth Kery is the third of an eight part serial novel that is clearly marketed to the Fifty Shades of Grey market. I have read Beth Kery before, and enjoyed most of the books she has written. This is no excepti...more

Well I finally finished this last night. I lost interest the day I started it & it kind of got forgotten I really couldn't be bothered with it because there was just this little bit that really rubbed me up the wrong way. I do enjoy stories where the man is rather dominant but I'm not a huge fan of weak women. I know that's the type of story this is (and she did agree to it all beforehand) and I knew that before but I was really into this after the first two parts and then he pretty much tel...more

Because You Haunt Me, and I can’t get you out of my head.
Not resisting her anymore, Ian just goes wild lol having everyone leave the bar just to talk to her HOT.
And after all this, and his confession of not being good enough for her, the guy takes her to the city of love :D
After trying to control himself, and let me say, I DID. He just loses is mind, in a god damn museum in front of non-other than Aphrodite lol priceless.
Hot and Steamy for sure :D
The author is stepping up her game, if these who...more

★★★★1/2! Because You Are Mine series, book 1-8 of 8. Another whirlwind romance with a dominant & controlling, rich & sexy alpha male hero!


“Because You Are Mine” (Ian’s & Francesca’s story) is an 8-part series, released in the fall of 2012. Combined they make a 368-page read. Please note that the Omnibus will be released in March 2013.
And there will be a sequel to this series, “When I'm With You” (Lucien’s & Elise’s story) to be released in 8 weekly installments starting March 3,

Well, I started this installment, but stopped because I couldn't get into the story, I forgot where we left off on the previous book and was a bit lost at the beginning of the story...I wanted to skip pages, since it wasn't grabbing my attention, but then there would be nothing left to read. I think, if I have time later, I will revisit the first 2 installments and see if I can get more into the story. Another option is to just wait until all the installments are out and then read it.

Why is it in these erotic romances that the heroine always knows so much about classical music, and can pick out the exact composer and the exact piece which is playing. And why does the male always LISTEN to classical music?? why not rock or dance or metal? It just makes all the stories so SIMILAR and unbelievable. As much as I am enjoying the story, the music taste and the young heroine knowing so much about classical music makes me a little bit nauseous.

" Classical music resounded sedately f...more

Liking the third part more than part II. I think my ups & downs are due to the story being told in pieces. So hopefully, as the story progresses & I become more familiar with the characters, it will keep getting easier to read this book in increments. Part III is moving back up on the star scale for me, easily a 4 star read. Also, a nice little sexy scene to end with...shame, shame Ms Kery for teasing us like that. Can't wait for Part IV.

I like this series but i have no idea why I"m paying a $1/chapter. This should be outlawed, despite the fact that I'm now invested and must go on. But I will not do this again, just in case there are other authors out there thinkng this method of publishing is to be repeated. Leaves a real bad taste in the readers mouth, and thus I won't comment on the story at this point. You got my money and that's all you're getting.

From what I can tell, this is just a novel broken up into 2 chapter segments. Honestly, I would have preferred to just read the whole novel instead of having it broken up.
The third installment kept up with the intensity and speed of the developing relationship. It's also still reading quite a bit like the Fifty Shades books at this point, although Ian doesn't seem to be as "messed up" a character as Christian.

I liked this story but I will say the same thing for them all. They are only 2 chapters and are costing $2.00 a piece and that is silly that all 8 parts if $16.00. I like them but am not sure if I need to know what happens next with how much this is going to cost me. I have read the first 3 but think that I will wait to see if they put them all together into 1 book.

I really shouldn't be spending $1.99 for each installment but this sh*t is addicting like crack. Crack I tell ya! Ian Noble you impressed me with that custom made paddle with mink fur in the previous installment. Now you're showing off you toys like a freaking airline jet as a private plane. With?!?! You really made that much off social media? I should google to see if Mark Zuckerberg has his own 747.

Review to come

If I don't taste you now, I think I will die. Wow, it is so steamy, and nothing has even happened totally yet.

I do notice too many similarities though too, "Fifty Shades" unfortunately! Still enjoying the journey though! WTG to be sexy Cesca, even with (former far-girl) insecurities.
Lissy
Are you kidding me?! The story line is good but it sucks that its given to us by a dropper!! Is too much to ask for the author to gives a full book instead of two chapters installments?! Geez!! Every time I get the hang of it there is a massive cliffhanger!!!
Kate F
I am really enjoying this story but am SO disappointed in the way that it is being released! $1/per chapter is simply price gouging. I'm invested in the story so I will finish the series but I will never buy a book being released this way again. What a shame.
Gloria Elena
I found the characters 2 dimensional and the story trite. After a while, I got bored.

I read book 1-8 in one sitting and well it is an ok story. Don't expect much of a plot or intrigue with this book. After a while I just wanted the books to end..
Catherine
Books are too short for me to feel right grading individually so this grade is for the overall series.

Thanks to my friend for gifting me with this serial. I was too cheap and grumpy about the length v. price to ever pay for it myself!

Todavia no entiendo la manera en que este libro fue editado.Quitando eso Es entretenido a pesar de seguir descaradamente la estela de Cincuenta sombras , pero aun asi lo encontre decente y una lectura ligera, para pasar una tarde....

This book shared more inside for Ian, how he shut himself from everyone and he’s simple pleasures. He truly is a very interesting character, especially when we got to understand better what he suffered on the previous chapters.

Now he took Francesca to Paris with him, because he can’t stay away from her and even while working he still find time to show her beauty and art. I loved how romantic he is the museum, even if he don’t know.

I’m liking this b...more

He just couldn’t stay away. Oh Ian really starting to love you. Loved how he finally got her to listen to him. Definitely a smooth way to go, ha-ha… Loved how this part ended, can’t wait to start the next part.
Niamh
I loved this book the fact it was released in so many installments was frustrating,when I'm enjoying a book I hate having to wait(",) enjoyable read non the less and a sure fire for those fifty shades fans A+
Amy
YAY! Ian's stopped being such a jerk. While he's still controlling, he's at least being nice to Francesca, which I can deal with. Really interested to see where things are going from here however.
Alison
