Vanessa Carmichael will never forget that horrible day for as long as she lives. With Zane fully on the mend from the brutal attack he suffered right in her very own yard, she knows she should be grateful, which she is. She also knows that walking away from Zane might be the only way to keep him safe. Despite her denial, V knows she can’t trust her own heart, especially when it comes to the youngest Walker brother, but he’s not the kind of man who will walk away when there is something he wants. He wants her even if it isn’t safe for him, and she’s not sure she is strong enough to walk away.
Zane Walker might have been brutally attacked and after months in the hospital, walked away with his life spared, but now that he’s out of the hospital, he has only one goal in mind. Getting the girl. From the first time he kissed her, Zane knew V was the one for him. He also knew that getting her wasn’t going to be as easy as he hoped. She’s stubborn and the walls she has erected around her heart are nearly impenetrable. However, there’s one thing about Zane – he never gives up. And he’s not about to start now.
Can V learn to open her heart to the one man who is desperate to get past those walls she has erected, or will she walk away to protect him? How long will Zane allow her to deny what he knows is growing between them? Or is the only option to obscure the underlying emotions with spine tingling lust?
When V and Zane come together, smoke detectors go on the fritz, but when they bring Zane’s best friend Beau into the mix, extra fire extinguishers are needed.

Oh, to live in Nicole Edwards hedonistic, sexy world. Where orgasms are mind-melding and life-altering and where any girl can end up as the filling in a Walker Brothers sandwich. I think, definitely if you’ve read Nicole Edwards before, that you know that you’re not going to get straight forward m/f erotica here and neither should you expect it. Oh no!! What you get is a virtual smorgasbord of erotica where the author bombards you with a shock and awe display of sensuality that will leave you breathless!! We have m/f, m/f/m, m/m/f and also m/m. If you like multi-genre erotica, you are going to totally love this one! Even the warning in the blurb turned me on. I told my hubby I was reading Nicole Edwards again. He knows what this means!
This series, Alluring Indulgence, crosses over frequently with the author’s other series Club Destiny and, while these will work as a standalone, the crossovers are getting more involved and I’m going to add a recommended reading order at the end of the review. It’s well worth checking out the other books in the series if you haven’t already – they’re incredibly sexy and I love the way a series like this shapes up with an ongoing background story and characters you get to know and love and revisit while each book has a complete love story in it.
Now, it’s the turn of Zane Michael Walker, youngest of the Walker brothers and we last left him in the hospital beaten to within an inch of his life by Jake Sanders. We rejoin him three months after the attack as he is about to be discharged from the hospital and I love that Zane didn’t bounce out of bed 100% fit a few days after the attack. He’s suffered a traumatic brain injury – it’s only right and realistic that it takes him time to recover. He’s physically much like the other brothers, tall, dark with smoky blue eyes, muscular, powerful and sexy as hell with his adorable crooked smile and his country boy charm. He’s fiercely protective, especially towards Vanessa, and his defence of her has earned him a bad enemy in the shape of a very mentally unstable Jake Sanders. He’s got a short fuse and is quick to anger and is furious to find out that Jake has been harassing V while he’s been in the hospital. He’s not about to stand for that and sweeps a really rather reluctant V up into his arms, determined to protect her.
Vanessa, from now on known as V, is such a sweetheart. She’s got a bad case of PTSD after witnessing Jake and his cronies knock seven bells out of Zane with a tyre iron and nearly kill him. She feels responsible and is horrified that she wasn’t able to help or protect him. She’s also the daughter of a promiscuous woman most people in Coyote Ridge consider to be the town bike. She’s inherited a very undeserved reputation by proxy just for the misfortune of being her daughter. Consequently, V has become fairly withdrawn, is very slow to trust and has some pretty cast iron emotional defences to prevent anyone other than her best friend Zoey to get close. She’s finding Zane incredibly hard to resist even as she tries to deny her feelings, that smokin hot incendiary physical connection they share cannot be resisted and they succumb time and again with white-hot scenes that will have you reaching for a fan!
He’d have her flat on her back and naked in the blink of an eye. For some reason, when Zane was close, her clothes just seemed to fall off.
Of course, this is Nicole Edwards and it’s never going to be a simple as just Zane and V doing the old horizontal shuffle. Enter stage left, Beau, Zane’s best friend. I LOVED Beau. Even if he’s not a Walker Brother, the dude needs a book of his own. Pretty please, Nicole? The guy is HUGE in more ways than one, a big, tall, protective alpha who is more than a little bashful around women and a real teddy bear. I defy you not to love him – he reminds me a lot of Cole from Club Destiny. Anyway, Zane and Beau are going to share V in the most delicious way possible and she is going to lose her mind to the pleasure that these two can deliver ensemble.
When Zane stilled her head by gripping her hair even tighter, V managed to look up at him.
“Oh, yes, baby. Tonight we’re going to fuck you until you scream.”
This is much more than just great erotica though, and it is really FANTASTIC erotica, as Nicole Edwards delivers on great character development and a soulful, angsty romance that will have you desperate for these two to find that elusive Happy Ever After that seems to hover tantalisingly just out of reach. The background story of the Alluring Indulgence resort and Club Destiny continue as we get to catch up with pretty much every loved up couple we’ve met to date in both series with trips to both Vegas and Dallas with a few secrets revealed but far more questions asked to keep us guessing and anticipating the next books.
As promised, this is multi-genre erotica and you’ll have more than one brother pondering his sexuality as we get a few insights into their relationships which promise more red hot books in the future. My only regret about the whole series is that the boys don’t have a younger sister – I would have loved a story like that where the poor girl has not only an incredibly alpha Dad but six seriously protective older brothers. Very much looking forward to Travis in the autumn. Oh yeah, and sexy Sawyer. And the twins……..heck, I’m looking forward to all of 'em!!
4.5 stars really, REALLY sexy erotic romance

This book is about the youngest brother of the Walker clan, and it had major sizzle let me tell you! WHEW! This story did not lack in the sex department at all. Not only do we get a bunch of threesome action, but there is some male on male action as well. So, if that is not your thing then I would not recommend you read it! These Walker brothers are hot, kinky, and know how to treat a woman..er...or maybe a man..in some of their cases! This series is not for the faint of heart; it is a panty melting good time, and I can't wait to see what is in store for the other brothers and who they love.
Zane has just been released from the hospital after a 3 month stay. He is ready to get his life back after the attack that left him in a coma, and many broken bones. He had defended his girl, V and in return was jumped by several men at once. Vanessa feels very guilty for the attack on Zane, as it happened on her property one night when he was driving her home. She has been suffering from major panic attacks after that night, and has no idea how she will ever overcome the debilitating fear that she experiences everytime she comes home. When Zane figures out how hard V is suffering, he decides that he will be the one to help and protect her from her demons. What started out as just sex, ends up in some major feelings developing on Zane's part. He fears that it will stay one sided, as V has made it very clear that she is not interested in a relationship. Zane is persistant though, and he is determined not to let her slip between his fingers. There is also a little twist...Zane's best friend Beau has a secret, and when it comes out life may never be the same for any of them.
On top of all the complications, Zane's attacker is on the loose and he has a score to settle, and will stop at nothing to terrorize and hurt V and Zane.
There is a lot going on in this story, as well the brothers are all getting ready to begin a business venture with each other that will bring a sex club into their quiet town. They all go on a trip to Club Destiny; which is from Nicole Edwards other series that she is writing. I love how she intergrates this series with the other one. It gives her fans updates on the beloved characters from her other books. She is an author that I am thoroughly enjoying, and I love how she is willing to take risks with the stories that she writes!

What does one say about the hotness of the Walker brothers?
Thoughts like this are always crossing my mind while reading this...
TMI? Okay, sorry, maybe that was a little too far. But seriously people, can you blame me? We have Zane and V and Beau in every combination there is, and let me tell you....
Zane and V are trying to get past the attack that left Zane in a coma for awhile. V is struggling with her panic attacks and being harassed by Zane's attacker. V thinks she can keep him safe if she just keeps her distance from him but Zane is having none of that nonsense.
“Then what’s the problem?” He was getting irritated now. “Are you scared, V? Scared that fucking me might turn into something more?” Taunting her, he continued, “Scared that I might just be able to get past that impenetrable outer shell?”
Can they finally catch the attacker so they can move on with their lives together?
Now I am off to read

I love the Nicole Edwards world. Zane has the perfect mix of angst and sexy, making the entire story nonstop! Man I rooted for Beau. V just has that way of seeing things clearly and calling it for what it's worth. Love this story. Do yourself a favor and start from the beginning and work your way through this entire series.

Let's meet Zane
Zane is dealing with a lot of anger issues consuming him after being attacked by Jake, he's wants to get him back but he also needs to concentrate on V after finding her panicking unable to walk into her own home he needs to take care of her first!!

Beau took his part, they have there fun, he's also Zane's boy I don't want to give anything away here but Beau helps to pull Zane and V together, he helps them get there HEA... love love love Beau I really do hope we see a lot more of him in future stories.
Vanessa
Vanessa didn't have the best upbringing, her mother was known as the towns whore so she left and V went on in her life, people judge which is why Zane and Jake had the attack, she doubts herself and thinks she's to blame for all that happened to Zane, she doesn't want a relationship with him but she can't resist him. It doesn't take long for them to work there differences out and they eventually get there happily ever after..

Zane is dealing with a lot of anger issues consuming him after being attacked by Jake, he's wants to get him back but he also needs to concentrate on V after finding her panicking unable to walk into her own home he needs to take care of her first!!
He felt something for v, something possessive and these overwhelming emotions, although foreign, consumed him entirely.
"I want to own you, V," He whispered the words and witnessed her deep inhale. She bit her bottom lip, but she didn't pull away. "Do you want me to own you?" he asked, not expecting a response. "To take you how I want, when I want?"
Zane is younger than V and they probably shouldn't be together but then Zane knows they are meant to be, Zane's a dominant, controlling, protective and aggressive, and V is a natural submissive, they fit together perfectly.
"I want to own you," he repeated, his hunger evolving, turning into something greater than him. "I want to make you mine.Mine V."
He wants V to trust him, so he can consume her, to possess her in every way possible.
"Trust me, V. Trust me to take care of you in every way. Can you do that?" he asked and waited patiently for her answer. "I will try," she finally said, still trying to pull away. "I don't want you to try, V. I want you to trust me. Tell me that you trust me," he demanded, leaning in closer. "I want to hear you say it." "I trust you," she said on a sigh. "I trust you, Zane."
This story is a whole lot of Naughty!! Lots and lots and lots of naughty, Nicole Edwards sure knows how to write steam yup she does, in her books you can expect threesomes, gay relationships as well as heterosexual relationships, her stories are HOT

Beau is Zane's mate, they have grown up together, learnt to ride horses together, they work out together, they know each other very well. They also have been doing threesome's for sometime... but this is for the woman.
"I don't want you thinking about anything else except what it's going to feel like to have me buried deep inside of you. I want you visualizing what it'll be like to have both of us fucking you until you can't take any more. Understand me?"
Beau is a giant teddy bear in the way he acted, who he was, how he cared, Zane was the Alpha and the one that always took the lead.
It was clear they were trying to keep her from thinking, making her feel cherished, cared for. It was definitely thrilling, and they knew exactly how to play her, and it worked. Oh how it worked.
Beau took his part, they have there fun, he's also Zane's boy I don't want to give anything away here but Beau helps to pull Zane and V together, he helps them get there HEA... love love love Beau I really do hope we see a lot more of him in future stories.

"I love you, Vanessa Carmichael. I love you with everything I am."
"I love you, too. I do. I'm pretty sure I've loved you all along, but I didn't want to believe it. But you believe it now?" I know it's true, yes. I knew the minute I got to my mothers house that I couldn't run from you anymore. I couldn't run from my feelings. But, it's never been about that. I've never wanted to hurt you, Zane. I just want to protect you. I wasn't able to protect you that day-"
I'm the one that's supposed to protect you. Not true. I'm supposed to protect you just the same. I want to protect you. The best way you can do that is to love me, V."
"I love you," V muttered, her lips pressing against his.

3.5 stars
Zane and V have just experienced a major blow to their relationship, none of which was their doing. For months Zane has been recovering at the hospital trying to get his mind and body back to where it was prior to the accident. The problem is the whole time Zane is recovering, V is left alone although she doesn’t have any physical scars, she has some internal ones that haunt her every moment she goes home. No matter how much it hurts V decides to keep her distance after all it’s her fault he got hurt in the first place.
Zane knows that V will stop at nothing to keep him at a distance, but Zane isn’t willing to let her push him away. V knows from her Mom’s endless parade of men, that there is no such thing as a Happily Ever After, especially with the youngest of the Walker brothers. Zane is perfect and young, why would he choose someone like her, who has a reputation all thanks to her mother. V doesn’t want or need any help from no-one, trying to set herself apart from her mother as much as she can, but Zane is always there, taking care of her and making sure she gets what she needs. Trying to replace the bad memories with good, Zane has a couple tricks up his sleeve, some with an outcome that even surprises him.
With the man responsible for hurting them still out there proving to be more of a loose cannon than anticipated, V can’t help but fear what he would do the next time they all come face to face. No matter how much Zane tries to reassure V, it doesn’t seem to be getting through to her stubborn mind. Zane and V is stuck in an infinite loop and it’s gonna take both of them to move forward question is are they willing to?
Zane is a hottie alpha who is desperately trying to get the girl he knows Is the other half of his soul, but V is as stubborn as they come, overcome with her insecurities and fear. I liked it, it was something I needed to read just to find out what happens next, I didn’t generally love it but still a pretty good read. The lil snippets of Travis was what thrilled me more, and I was happy when it came to an end because I knew whose book was up next. Hopefully the next book doesn’t disappoint and that it only gets better from here.

FANTASTIC melt your panties HOTT
Zane Walker is your typical Texas Cowboy, sweet, charming, sexy, dominate, alpha male with his bedroom eyes, and his panty melting voice. He wants Vanessa “V” and no matter what he has to go through he will get her. He is determined to change her mind about him and make her realize what they have is real and worth fighting for.
Vanessa Carmichael is timid, shy, and beautiful. She holds all the cards when it comes to Zane Walker and she is scared. Terrified of feeling more for him than just their intense physical connection. She fights it, and she fights it hard. She is scared of him getting hurt again, blaming herself for everything that happened in front of her house 3 months ago. She wants Zane but she isn’t willing to put him in harms way again in order to have him. She will let him go and have her heart broken in the process as long as that means he is safe.
Can Zane use his power of persuasion and make Vanessa “V” see that the connection between them is more than just physical but something that is meant to last a lifetime? Will Vanessa Carmichael put her fears and insecurities aside and take a chance on her very own happy ending? Or will the events in the past ruin their future before it even gets started?
(Oh why I love Zane – let me count the ways!!! 1. I love Zane because he is purely alpha male, 2. I love Zane because he takes control in and out of the bedroom, 3. I love Zane because he can make you feel like the only woman in the world, 4. I love Zane because he is passionate, caring, and oh so sexy, and finally 5. I love Zane because he can give you the BIG “O” by just looking at you!!!)
Zane Walker is such a passionate character that you will fall in love with. He is determined to win Victoria’s heart and he won’t stop until he has it. He is fierce and passionate and oozes sex appeal. He is not only a lover but a fighter (best of both worlds).
Nicole did an excellent job at showing us all of Zane and his many layers (yes, like a jawbreaker – many many wonderful tasty layers).
“Baby, I’m not going to last. I need you to come for me. Fucking come around my cock. I want to feel your pussy milk my cock while I come inside of you.”
(Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm – OKAY)
Zane can also be very playful and sharing (Remember yall sharing is caring and Mrs. Walker taught her boys right). So of course we all know that every Walker boy has a best friend, and well Zane’s best friend would be none other than Beau (applause) I love Beau! I couldn’t get enough of him in Zane and I really hope he gets his own story. He is your typical shy guy, very sexy and very shy. His connection with Zane and Vanessa is very strong so of course what happens when 3 very sexy people who have very strong connections with each other do when they get together? Why yes, this is Nicole Edwards we are talking about so we all know what happens next!
“I want to watch Beau lick your sweet pussy. Hear the way you moan when he reams your ass with his tongue. Watch while you fly apart with us both buried inside of you again.”
(Okay now I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo jealous of that lucky bitch)
Vanessa “V” god I loved her and kind of wanted to smack her all at the same time. She is so scared to fall in love, which I totally understand and get. But damnit if you have a man like Zane Walker standing in front of you wanting to give you everything you don’t question in. You jump on that cowboy, hold on like hell, and enjoy the fucking ride!! I did like however, how the further into the story we got she became more assertive, she started taking control of her life and she knew what she wanted. It took her a little while to get there but when she finally did she didn’t hold back.
Now let’s chat a bit about Beau shall we?! Okay so he is shy and sometimes timid. He is hiding something from everyone but when it comes out it comes out with a BANG. (pun intended) I love me some Beau. He made my heart beat just a bit faster during Zane and had my body tingling. Beau is such a wonderful character to fall in love with he is a giver and doesn’t really focus too much on himself but he finally got what he secretly wanted for a very long time and I was so thrilled that it was all about Beau. He deserves happiness and to love and be loved and I can’t wait to hear more about his story. Beau is such a sweetheart.
“As a point, I do my best not to get involved,” Beau began, “but I’m going to say this one time. Don’t crush him, V. You can’t even begin to understand what you’ve got in a man like Zane. He’s loyal, honest, and when he loves, it’s forever. He’s found that with you. I’ve never seen him look at another woman the way he does you. Take time to think about what you need to think about, but make sure you know what you’re doing. If you push him away, he won’t come back.”
So let me wrap up with little love fest! Zane was amazing, I loved Kaleb and I loved Zane so I positive I am going to love the rest of the Alluring Indulgence series. Nicole writes so pretty steamy books that will have you whipping your jaw and drool up off the floor long after you finish the book. I will gladly say that her Club Destiny series and her Alluring Indulgence series has been some of the best steamy erotica books I have read to date and I have read A LOT! So again, do yourself a favor and get to reading, you won’t be disappointed. I strongly urge you to go commando and sit on a towel or sponge.
I hope Nicole doesn’t go anywhere for a long time and keeps writing these amazing stories to share with us.
“Never, baby. I’m right here. Not going anywhere.”
AWESOME! So I guess Zane said it – Nicole isn’t going anywhere!!!!! And she called me baby (wink)!
Zane Walker is your typical Texas Cowboy, sweet, charming, sexy, dominate, alpha male with his bedroom eyes, and his panty melting voice. He wants Vanessa “V” and no matter what he has to go through he will get her. He is determined to change her mind about him and make her realize what they have is real and worth fighting for.
Vanessa Carmichael is timid, shy, and beautiful. She holds all the cards when it comes to Zane Walker and she is scared. Terrified of feeling more for him than just their intense physical connection. She fights it, and she fights it hard. She is scared of him getting hurt again, blaming herself for everything that happened in front of her house 3 months ago. She wants Zane but she isn’t willing to put him in harms way again in order to have him. She will let him go and have her heart broken in the process as long as that means he is safe.
Can Zane use his power of persuasion and make Vanessa “V” see that the connection between them is more than just physical but something that is meant to last a lifetime? Will Vanessa Carmichael put her fears and insecurities aside and take a chance on her very own happy ending? Or will the events in the past ruin their future before it even gets started?
(Oh why I love Zane – let me count the ways!!! 1. I love Zane because he is purely alpha male, 2. I love Zane because he takes control in and out of the bedroom, 3. I love Zane because he can make you feel like the only woman in the world, 4. I love Zane because he is passionate, caring, and oh so sexy, and finally 5. I love Zane because he can give you the BIG “O” by just looking at you!!!)
Zane Walker is such a passionate character that you will fall in love with. He is determined to win Victoria’s heart and he won’t stop until he has it. He is fierce and passionate and oozes sex appeal. He is not only a lover but a fighter (best of both worlds).
Nicole did an excellent job at showing us all of Zane and his many layers (yes, like a jawbreaker – many many wonderful tasty layers).
“Baby, I’m not going to last. I need you to come for me. Fucking come around my cock. I want to feel your pussy milk my cock while I come inside of you.”
(Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm – OKAY)
Zane can also be very playful and sharing (Remember yall sharing is caring and Mrs. Walker taught her boys right). So of course we all know that every Walker boy has a best friend, and well Zane’s best friend would be none other than Beau (applause) I love Beau! I couldn’t get enough of him in Zane and I really hope he gets his own story. He is your typical shy guy, very sexy and very shy. His connection with Zane and Vanessa is very strong so of course what happens when 3 very sexy people who have very strong connections with each other do when they get together? Why yes, this is Nicole Edwards we are talking about so we all know what happens next!

Nicole Edwards is pure Genius!!! I have now read ALL her books to date and I can say she is like a fine wine and she gets better with age :) I have left one review before (Kaleb) and never realized I guess how much they mean to an author and how much they can also hurt after reading some very nasty ones from some people....those people should not even be able to exist in my opinion..lol.. anyway..I absolutely LOVED Zane, he and V had so much passion for one another they couldn't even put it in a bottle if they wanted to!! And talk about passion..this book had it in spades..to the Menages' going on between Zane/V/Beau and the nice surprises with Ethan and Blake and Travis and Gage...WOW!!! You kept us up to date with the all the other Walker Brother's and you have so much going on in this book it kept me so HOT and BOTHERED..that I just stayed in the bathtub..it was the best place to be..hahaha :) You managed to tie in all your Club Destiny books into you Alluring Indulgence so smoothly..like chocolate..but with naughty bits thrown in that kept me riveted to my Nook like no other..I have never been so worked up over another series like this since FSOG..and it was BETTER than that!!! I seriously mean that from the bottom of my KINKY heart :) If anyone wants to read a series that has it ALL and I mean ALL..read everything that Nicole Edwards has..but Zane knocked it out of the park for me..I can't wait for her next book TRAVIS..I'm his biggest fan :)

4.9 Stars!!
"Vanessa Carmichael, as long as the day will come, I'm willing to be patient. As long as there aren't any maybes in our future, I'm not going to rush you. However, until that day comes, I'm not willing to wait one more second without that promise"
WHEW boy, what a hot read. I don't know how Nicole does it. She never runs out of new kinky ideas for sex scenes. So far she is the only one I know that can make a threesome hot, steamy and the most rare feeling...intimate.
"Awww, shit. Another one bites the dust"
Zane (one of the seven sexy Walker brothers) has just been released from the hospital after a 3 month stay. He is full of rage, anger and the need for revenge. BUT...most of all, the need to protect V. The one girl who affects him like no other woman has.
Vanessa Carmichael or "V" is a closed of individual. We got to meet her in Kaleb since she is Zoey's best friend. With a reputation as a whore which was gained from her mother, she has shielded herself from everyone, not wanting to get close, building walls to protect her heart....until Zane.
I honestly can't say enough how much I love Nicole's work. She manages to get the hottest scenes in a book with a story that could be in a movie. Plus, when I say she writes hot scenes...I mean soak your panties HOT.
Now, we have Jake Sanders aka the asshole. Since Zane stood up for V at Anderson Crofts, he has been a living nightmare for both V and Zane. The man is completely mental. The true villain in Nicole's sexy ass action movie- oh I mean Book :)
Oh oh oh, I cant forget Beau. Sweet Beau. He just so happens to be the third in the relationship. Beau is considered a big teddy bear. He is big, tall, and muscular and I really liked that we got a bit of an idea of what goes on in his head. He helps Zane, V and himself find out what they really want in life. Such a sweet guy...loved him
"We can't change how people want to view things, V. And we can't change how they'll react. I know you hated what I did that day, but, there won't be a single person who is allowed to talk to you like that when I'm around."
Battling her feelings for Zane is a main part of this book. She has been so closed off that it has been hard for her to actually form feelings for anyone, let alone a man who is younger, and known for his one night stands. V needs to figure out what she really wants with him while battling a new fear that has entered her life. A fear that is thanks to the asshole Jake Sanders.
At one point, I got a bit nervous. There is a certain scene with V, Zane and Beau that I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about but by the end I was super happy with how it went. Honestly, I was scared it was going to ruin it for me but in the end...it was great. So if you find yourself at the 70%ish area and get a strange feeling...push through it.
I seem to ALWAYS give Nicole's book a prefect rating but I feel like I just can't with this one which makes me want to pull my hair out. The main drama of the book was about Jake and I just felt like the ending part with him was blah. :( makes me want to cry to say that. The actually ending was great though. There was a HEA but of course we get a glimpse into the next brothers chapter...Travis...YAY!!
I highly recommend this and ALL of Nicole Edwards work...you wont be disappointed

4.5 stars!!
I am a HUGE Nicole Edwards fan…having stumbled across her name on Goodreads and since devouring every little morsel she has written…I love everything she writes…she seems to be able to drag me in, pummel by brain with extremely hot sizzling scenes that could make your eyes water, then give you some more…the queen of ménage…something I had never read about before her other series Club Destiny…hot romance, hot men and once you finished hot and sweaty palms and palpitations leaving you reeling that it is finished and desperately wanting more, this book is no different..in fact, this has been my favourite book so far…and I thought Luke, Sierra and Cole were hard to beat.
This book starts where Kaleb finished, Zane is in hospital after being brutally attacked outside Vanessa’s house. Somehow he manages to survive against all odds but not before spending months and months in hospital recuperating.
Up until Zane regained consciousness Vanessa was a constant by his bedside. However, once he woke up she has kept her distance from Zane, slowly but surely cutting all forms of communication between them. She blames herself for the attack and the guilt she feels is overwhelming. She is also suffering a bit of PTSD and has panic attacks and cannot stand going home which has become a vivid reminder of what happened…it also doesn’t help that perpetrator keeps harassing her.
Upon his release from hospital Zane makes it his mission to win Vanessa (V) back, he cannot understand why she has become some distant, he thought they had something going before the attack and wants to pick up where they left off. Zane has never been one for relationships but the connection that he and V have is strong and intense (for both of them) and he feels that deep down she knows this, but she has a hang up about their age difference (she is about 6 years older than him) but he does not see that as an issue. He has never felt this way about a woman before and desperately wants to pursue it.
What I love about these books is that they are always about families and friends and you get a continual story about each of them even though one couple are centre stage..this always leaves you wanting more for the next one..our usual characters are always making an appearance…can’t wait to read Travis’s story next…that one I can already tell is going to be a hair puller!! Gage also makes an appearance in this book…he was Zoey and Kaleb’s third in Kaleb, but he also has a new role in this book…one that blew my mind…and has already set me on tenterhooks waiting to see where it is going.
Zane and V also have a third, Beau, Zane’s best friend..these three together are smoking…they did have a similar ring to the Luke, Sierra and Cole situation in Club Destiny and I hope that this is the direction that they are going in…the three of them together are amazeballs!!! Seriously panty melting hot hot hot..phewwwwww!
We also see a few of our Club Destiny favourites in this one…the Alluring Indulgence development still brings the Club Destiny crossover and as the project develops I am sure we will be seeing much more of the McCoys et al.
As usual Nicole, you have rendered me speechless and desperately wanting more, I cannot wait to see what comes next and will be eagerly waiting to press the 1click button on release day. Amazing series!!

Someone needs to smack me on the back of my head and tell me to get my sh*t together. My kindle is a mess and my memory is not functioning as it should.
I made it to about 20% before I started skimming. Around 70% it started to feel familiar and it downed on me that I've read the first book, and hated. But that's not the funniest part, the funniest thing is that not only have I bought book #3 (last year, back in freaking august, which I don't remember), kindle search showed that I have other 4 books on my kindle by this author. Did I blacked out while shopping on amazon? What happened?
Shalow characters, so so writing, sex scenes were just plane porn. Their little love triangle wasn't very convincing or believable. A lot of touching, grouping and moaning. Some of the sex scenes were just weird. Not my type of erotica at all. Too simple and too mechanic for my taste. I can't believe she accepted them both so easily. I get it, it's fiction, but it has to have at least a little amount of realism in order for me to connect to the story and the characters in it. I see a lot of you loved it, but I just didn't get it.

Well, I have to say, I did not see that coming!! Zane is book two in the Alluring Indulgence series. I am absolutely in love with these Walker boys. There are so many of them to choose from. They are all 100% alpha male with dark hair and smoldering blue-grey eyes.
We pick up book two where Kaleb left off. Zane has been brutally attacked in front of Vanessa. He barely escapes alive. Vanessa finds herself backing away from Zane. She feels responsible for his attack.
Alluring Indulgence has its groundbreaking ceremony. The Walker boys are in full swing with their plan to create a club that will be unlike any other.
Zane finds himself drawn to Vanessa in a way he's never been drawn to another woman. He and his best friend Beau, take Vanessa to heights she never dreamed imaginable.
There are a few big reveals and OMG moments. We also get to see the set up for the next book and boy is it going to be huge! Book three... Travis. I hate to say this but I found myself wanting to skip over this book and see what happens with Travis. Don't get me wrong, this one was good, but I CAN. NOT. WAIT. for the next book. It is going to be HOT! There is a cliffhanger, it's not huge for Zane but sets up book three nicely.
Overall, I gave this one four stars. The story was good the plot was good, writing good, I liked the characters. It didn't knock my socks off but it was definitely a hot one. If you are a menage fan and don't mind some m/m lovin', this is a good one for you!

Yay! Travis is up next!! I did enjoy this book quite a bit.
I am jonesing hard for some true MM. True MMF also sounds pretty great.
Quick note about those of us who might skip over Kaleb and Zane to get to the MM in Travis' and Ethan's story. I think this one is worth reading for the background on Beau, Gage and Travis. The first book is not as necessary to keep up with the story. But this is also bias because I read it so it's hard to say for sure.
Sex - 4.5 Would be 5 if there was MM or true MMF (by this I mean everyone is 100% on board.) Some people have said there is too much sex in this book and it takes away from the plot. I disagree, but it is completely personal preference. I like sex in my books and this sex brought a lot to character development with only the littlest bit irritating repetition.
Heroine - 3.5 The drama was a lot (again this is a personal preference issue for someone who isn't particularly into repetive angst)
Hero - 3.5
Relationship - 3.5
My attention is steadfast for this series apparently. There are times few and far between when I am pulled to read straight through instead of circling back after reading something different. On to the next!

So I am not one of those people who can write one of those amazing and awesome reviews, but what I can say is that this book is freaking AMAZING!!!! In true Nicole Edwards style she has panties melting and jaws dropping. I can not tell you how many cold showers I have taken in the last couple of days. She keeps your imagination working in overdrive and your labido screaming for more. I can not wait for her next book to come out! If people want a good read that will make you sweat, your heart pound, and your mouth water as well as a few other things then this is definitely a book to read! Thanks Nicole for giving us the pleasure and enjoyment that you do! You have no idea how truly AWESOME you are!!!!

Nicole Edwards has done it again.
Zane is full of adventure, romance and tons of hot erotic sex. Once you start reading there is no stopping until you get to the last word in the last paragraph and then you are complaining as you need/want more.
Zane moves along at a great pace, has characters that you have to fall in love with and a story that does not stop.
Nicole Edwards is an awesome author with an extreme talent for creating characters and stories that grab you by the seat of your pants and don't let go.
I look forward to reading much more by this awesome author in the future.

*cough* Well damn! 3.5 stars but I liked it enough to round up.
This started a little slow for me, and almost walked that line of having too much sex and not enough plot because holy shit, there was a lot. It was freaking hot, oh hell yes, but it almost lost me. However, the relationship and the plot did pick up and it ended up being pretty good. I would definitely like to see what happens with the rest of the Walker brothers.

To read my review of Kaleb (Alluring Indulgence, #1) go to: http://smittensbookblog.wordpress.com...
This series is getting and steamier crazier by the second!
4 STARS FOR ZANE & V!
Ok, so I'm all for experimentation between characters, threesomes, mixing it up, etc... but with lot it just seems pretty much any hole's a goal! Lol! They're sticking it everywhere and anywhere... cowboys turning bi-sexual every which way, women regularly acting as the filling in all kinds of delicious mandwiches, everyone shoving everyone up against walls, strange sexual tension between him and him and her and him... it made my head spin!
“You’re looking forward to being the cream filling in that little sandwich, aren’t you?”
But I have to admit *blushes* I did kinda love it!
Oh, well if you insist!
There is one thing I am sorely disappointed about with this book. I think the author missed two tricks for incredibly hot, heavy scenes with Zane. Firstly, the sex club... I'm pretty sure we could have had a super steamy scene with Zane and V when they visited Club Destiny.
Secondly... the stripper scene in Vegas. The author writes that Zoey kisses another girl and teases both Kaleb and Gage... whaaaat? I wanna read that scene, not hear about it second hand!!! So, I had a little internal tantrum about that.
However, that is definitely not to say that this book is lacking on the hot and heavy front. Ooooh no! This is just as steamy as Kaleb, perhaps a little more so. The M/F/M scenes in this book take it to another level. We get a little M/M action too. *fans self*
The plot was a game of two halves for me. The first half of the book I found myself skimming some parts. It really felt like just nothing was happening. But the second half picked up nicely and I felt it began to flow a bit better. More happened, the pace sped up, etc. etc. And I liked the way things played out with V and Zane toward the end of the book, too.
I have to say I'm getting a little fed up of these I-can't-have-a-relationship-with-him heroines. V was very similar to Zoey in that way. Seriously? Ok, so you've got some issues, but he's hot, he's sweet, he loves you, you love him, he protects you from the baddies, he gives you regular mind-blowing orgasms anyway... woman the fuck up, lady!!
As was Kaleb, Zane is a prime hunk of man meat! He's the youngest of the seven Walker brothers, but he's no less delicious! And again, same as Kaleb, he's muscled, controlling, determined, sweet, gorgeous, you get the idea. And where the hell do these guys come from because yet again, we have another scorchin' hot best friend who likes to get involved in all the three-way lovin'. Is this a Texan thing?? Or a cowboy thing? Because if it is, just say the word. My bags will be packed and I'll be on a flight over quicker than you can say 'two step'!
So yeh, once again, nothing monumental plot wise, nothing heart wrenching, nothing profound, although I did find the angst and plot line to be a little more substantial than in the first book. But overall this is just good, hard-core, panty-combusting, book whore lovin' smut! If you want to just switch off and curl up with a book that needs very little brain power but that will make you all hot and bothered, these books are great!
And again, same as the first book, Zane and V's story is all wrapped in their own happy ending, yet the epilogue leaves you with a cliffhanger eluding to the plot of the next book. Nicely done, Ms. Edwards!

Oh Zane, I'm sorry honey, but I didn't enjoy your story that much. I mean I liked it, but it didn't keep me focus or engaged.
Zane Walker, the youngest of the seven brothers. We met him in the first book of the series, which, by the way, ended with a phone call announcing Zane's in the hospital. We also know he has something going on with Zoey's friend, V. (Vanessa).
I didn't like this book that much because:
- it starts with Zane being attacked and beaten within an inch of his life. Brutally, horrible, heartbreaking thing to read about.
- then in continues in a sort of terror. I personally expected something bad to happen every time i turned the page. I'm exaggerating a little, but i really didn't like the vibe of this story.
- V. She's older than Zane. He's 24, she's 30. She doesn't want a relationship. She wants sex. But she knows deep down she's been in love with Zane since he first kissed her. Again, i kinda hate heroines who make the guys chase them all through out a book, I hate when they deny their feelings or act clueless.
- Zane being confused while he wanted to experiment some things with his best friend Beau. When there's a long time friendship involved, feelings and 3 people, i don't feel it's ok to play with all that, just because you're curious or something. Also, you should own your actions. Enjoy the ride and don't put any labels on anything.
I rated this book with 3★ because of the smut factor. I think Nicole Edwards wants to set us on fire and let us burn. I'm sure that's her dream.
Daaaaaamn, this was a hot one: M/F/M, M/M/F, F/M/M, M/M and of course, the simple M/F. How can a simple human being put up with all that? I was close to calling the fire department.
I can't really wait to start the next book in the series, because it's Travis's story. And I told you before that I have a feeling about this one. Come to momma!
Follow me, if you want :)
It would be an absolute honor to have you as my guest on my blog too. Stop by anytime you want :)

I've read this book last weekend on my way to Norfolk. And let's say that being stuck in traffic for 7.5 hours i wasn't bored at all. Having my fill of Starbucks, my fags and this awesome hot book so i actually don't know when the time has passed. I read this book in one go and no surprise there stuck in the car not having anything else to do.
I must admit it was a bit harder to get into this book but eventually i really got into it. Zane and V are truly awesome characters. I loved Zane he really is an alpha male and i really had doubts reading this book as Zane is really my ultimate fave character from a dif book but this name is some were up in rankings for me and i did not want to be annoyed and kill my joy. But lucky for me that did not happened.
I was really surprised how much i enjoyed this book and i can tell you that the main reason i liked it was the m/m sex scenes. I REALLY LOVE TO READ SOME GOOD SEX BETWEEN 2 MAN, and with so much talk about some other m/m couples going around was even better.
V has really gone on my nerves at the beginning of the book. She is exactly the type of female character i don't like. Over thinking everything and going around the bent like no ones business but at some point way to late for my liking she wake up. Thank fuck for that.
Overall this book is a really good read with lots of hot sex for every type: m/f, m/f/m, m/m and very sexy not with all types of kinky. I truly enjoyed and i am looking forward to the next book in this series Travis which is an m/m book. And hopefully just 2 man involved with no female. I know i LOVE my m/m books in special if they good ones.
My thanks to my very dear friend Isa for keep going at me to read this books. I'll give you this one. :)

Wow, so Nicole Edwards continues to blow my mind and shock the hell out of me! LOL :) This book had me experiencing a lot of new stuff I haven't read before. Like A LOT!!! It was as usual full of gorgeous hot men & extremely entertaining! ;) Now onto Travis!!! :)))
-Her eyes traced every graceful line of his lean, magnificent body as he braced his hands on the top of the doorjamb and leaned into it, his smoke blue eyes fixated on her.
-He was like a drug, impossible to resist once she'd had a taste of him.
-He knew exactly how to play her body, how to make her scream his name.
-"Tonight I own you. I want to show you what it's like when you give yourself to me completely."
-She couldn't stop herself from smiling. The man was delicious.
-The moment their bodies collided, nothing else mattered.
-Zane Walker was by far the hottest man she had ever met.
-The man was truly beautiful: dark hair, square, rugged jaw, smoldering smoke-blue eyes, and a wicked, mischievous smile that could light up the darkest corners of her soul.
-The man made her physically ache with his nearness.
-"I like when you look at me like that," Zane stated as their eyes met. "It's like you want to feast on me.
-Even though she was inclined to agree that all of the Walker brothers were exorbitantly gifted in the looks department, not a one of them held a candle to Zane's perfection.

Once again I couldn't put it down. I had to finish it right away so I could start the next one.
Miss Edwards writing style is plein de vapeur!
