Review from Way Too Hot Books
Welcome to Fuckland where you'll get extra special two-for-one offer! Lacey Silks doesn't waste her or your time. Her heroine Samantha looks for one night stand and she gets it after five pages. It is completely different matter who is" lucky winner". Last time I read f/f scene that was hot like that was when I had read Selena Kitt (who else!).
It's all about passion. Dazzled by Silver is pure erotica. There is a story behind all the steamy scenes, but it is quite o ...more

I hate when I don't like a book. I held out hope though until the very end -- just to still not like it after it was over.
There were a few key issues for me that I just could never get past. The first 4% of this book was all that I read for a good month or so before picking it back up. And what caused that???
The main character was not identified as male or female. There was attraction to the hot male bartender described and then attraction to the hot female friend desc ...more

The first person view of Samantha takes the reader on a sensational ride. I enjoyed this characters firsthand account of her adventurous return to dating. This author let’s the reader experience every type of emotion through Sam – simple, complex, but especially unadulterated.

I was given a copy for an honest review.
Aahhh I finished it. This book just started off...off, and didn't get really any better. Even though I read the blurb before I got the book and saw the main characters names, when I started reading the book for quite a while I wasn't sure if the point of view was coming from a man or a woman named Sam. Sam was turned on by both men and women so it was confusing-until it wasn't anymore. It has lots and lots of potential it's just not what it could be. There ...more

Approved for ARC from net galley.
Okay
This has good parts:
- Gabriel... So sexy, dominant, hot...hmmmm
- No BDSM, yes I'm marking that as good because it is hard to find sometimes
- Very sexy read.
Bad parts:
- Repetitive
- Too much sex, not enough story
- Unbelievable female lead who questions nothing at all.
I must say I adore the cover, really pretty.
This is a nice short read, sexy and fun with a bit of drama. Not too descriptive though and a bit dull at times.
The last few pages were the best.

This is my very first ARC book so I want to do this review justice. I love the way this book opens up and draws me in. I am baited, hooked, and headed to my demise.
“ What are you drinking”
“a Virgin Mary”
“Virgin’s are fine, but not in a drink”
Oh how we can all relate in this book to Sam with bad boring lovers, thinking we will end up with a reward at the end and left so clearly unsated.
The lesbian attraction is something that dreams are made of … it enticed me more than I imagined

Sexy- sexy- sexy! Mr. Silver my oh my does he dazzle!
This book packs one fun filled sexual punch from beginning to end. If you have a prudish side.. Don't read it.
If you like your chapters a little on the risky with a high chance of orgasmic sparks. Read it! Hell read it twice! (F/F- M/F/F - M/F)

So this was an interesting story. A few issues with word misuse (when you're taking someone away, you're stealing, not steeling... there was another one, but I can't remember now). And some punctuation issues. But generally, well written. And it was sweet... neither Sam nor Gabe were looking for anything long term. They both had reasons to be wary of love, but we all know you can't choose who you fall for. And interestingly, even though Sam kept trying to remind herself it was short term and Gab

Two🐺👸 for One💃
This is a Well written and edited book, but I found the plot unbelievable and the relationship between the three main characters didn't make me very interested in their problems. Would have been better with a lot more story and less sex.
In The beginning, where the character Samantha💃💔 loses the love of her life to leukemia was the best part off the entire book. THAT was emotional and wonderful and sad. The Author used this part of Sam's life to try to shape all the rest of her li ...more

3 stars is generous
I thought it was slightly familiar but it wasn’t until about 64% that I was sure I had read it before. It wasn’t memorable enough. The writing was alright, it could use some editing. At the beginning of a paragraph something happened a week earlier, but at the end of the paragraph is was a memorable night last night. Ugh
Lots of drama, sex, and some story line. I’m not interested in more of the story.

This was just ok for me. The MC was a bit annoying.
The first book, Dazzled is what has me hooked me on this series. We are introduced to Gabe & Sam, you could tell they were meant to be from the beginning. The first quote that had me giggling to death was said by Sam:
“I’ll give him a tip if he can make my orgasm last longer than a swallow”
This book gives you sizzling hot scenes, from girl on girl action to getting down and dirty with Gabe. Which make you wiggle in your seat just a bit to get warmed up. This book keep me on the edge the whole tim ...more

Fantastic read. We start with the zap of chemistry between Samantha Connor and Gabriel Silver. Gabe is a mystery to Sam. She first met him when she went to her friend Kendra's opening night of her new club called 'Kissed'.
This was also the night that Sam & Kendra had their own little sex scene. Great to have a bit of girl on girl action. They are not gay, but the attraction is so strong that they have their moment of lust fulfilled. Wonderfully written, came across very hot.

Nowhere near dazzled...
Total and utter BUNK!!! This story left me speechless...Not because it was good, but because it was absolutely horrific. It was all over the place. A case of trying too hard and failing miserably. It tried to be erotica, romance, suspense and drama with no plot, no climax and no where to hide the steaming doggie-doo it turned out to be. It's filled with cheap, unimaginative sex. Since this was the prequel, I will stop here and read no further. The characters were poorly wr ...more

This book was not at all what I expected. The opening chapters go in depth highlighting a sexual scene with the main character and her best friend. The rest of the book describes a three some but mainly sticks describing sexual activities between Sam (main character) and Gabe. The development of there relationship is unrealistic and at times ridiculous. In a matter of weeks the couple goes from sex with no strings to engaged. Hmm... Ok. The plot was just ridiculous. To be honest, I'm surprised I

Wow...it is definitely a hot and steamy read!! It has drama and suspense. I would highly recommend reading this book before the Layers Trilogy. This read gives more of a back ground into Kendra and the trouble that she has gotten herself into. Layers #1 & 2 are primarily about Tristan and Allie but their mission is because of Kendra. Layers #3 is Kendra's perspective and involves Julian. Again...this book was amazing and very instrumental in the series!! :)

great book. started reading the sequels to the book. so far so good.
I wanted to give it up after the second chapter, but I held out because (#1) I don’t like to quit books and (#2) I kept hoping it would get better. Let me ease your suspense a little bit:
It didn’t get better.
The main female character was so wishy/washy with what she wanted out of life. Sam and Gabe fell in love within what, 2 weeks? He asked her to marry him before they even technically went out on a date. Come. On. That’s just not realistic. I understand it’s a story & it’s all make believe, b ...more

I truly enjoyed reading this Book.
Gabriel Silver & Samantha Connor's Story was Good. I just wished the Story was longer in the sense that they were together longer. How can someone fall in Love with another without truly knowing their partner? Seriously, in the 3 weeks Samantha Connor was with Gabriel Silver all they did was have sex. I can see they were infatuated & Lustful of each other but Love?
This is 1 of the reasons I don't care for CRN. The relationships the Characters have are within 1 ...more

maybe this would have read better if I had started with the trilogy and went to the prequel afterwards? somehow I doubt it. I've read a lot of bad smut, and granted this was good enough to finish, but I think I was due to morbid fascination, rather than any desire to know what happened. not going to read the rest of the series, even though I bought the whole series. it would have to get orders of magnitude better for it to be worthwhile.

Wonderful story
A great book full of action, adventure, suspense, and hot loving. Samantha and Gabriel have both lost loves to tragedy and given up I finding it again. This book starts an adventure that brings them together because of a mutual friend. Beautifully written and full of excitement. While it is there complete story, there is a cliffhanger at the end, letting the adventure continue.

Two people who's world's been shattered by losing a loved one, meet and spice each others life up. Great read. At first I wasn't sure I wanted to keep reading when Samantha meets up with her best friend Kendra. I thought no I'm don't want to read this than I started reading more and fell in love with Gabe. You should read. You'll be reading it till it's done to find out what happens. Cannot wait to read the entire series.

“No one ever took charge in my life except me. I was left to fend for myself and for my mother now as well. Her unexpected illness left me with not only my loans but also her clinic bills. My father died in a boating accident. The memory of blood stained water and a frenzied shark had kept me out of the ocean for years.”
