Insatiable
I am NOT like those other women!
When Vaughn Ward sets his sights on a woman, she always ends up in his bed - crying out his name that night and cursing it the morning after. The billionaire playboy has an unquenchable thirst for sexual conquests.
Not me, though. I am a professional. But as the youngest member of C&M Advertising firm, it's my job to get to know our most important client. To get to know exactly what he wants from us... and how I can provide it.
I can resist his charms, his stares, and his flirts. I know his reputation. I won't be another notch on his bedpost.
But the longer I spend around him, the more he seems determined to take me. Use me. Consume me.
And the more I find out about him, the more I want him too...
An
Vaughn reached, his fingers wrapping around mine. His skin was soft and warm against mine. That warmth made me swallow. I didn’t pull back.
We looked out the window a little while longer before his eyes turned to me. They weren’t as clear as I’d first thought. No, there was a storm in them. A storm that threatened to consume him and then me. My mouth went dry. My lips parted slightly.
He still didn’t let go of my hand. “Quinn,” he said.
“Yes?”
“I want you. And I know you want me, too.”
“Do you?” I replied. That heat from his hand started spreading through me. I tried telling myself that I did want him, but only on a physical level. Who wouldn’t? But part of being an adult was knowing when to ignore what you wanted.
I could tell myself whatever I wanted and it didn’t have any effect. This close, he was magnetic. Little electric tingles kept running across the surface of my skin, awakening all my senses.
It was like my body wanted to feel every sensation it could, and to the fullest extent. The past and the future closed off, leaving only the present. The world shrank until only Ward and I occupied it.
I wanted to pull my hand out of his, but I didn’t. I didn’t want him to kiss me again, but I did.
I wanted that and more. I wanted all of it; I wanted all of him. I took a deep breath, but it didn’t steady me at all.
“I do. You know, since we met I don’t think more than a few minutes have gone by without you in my thoughts,” he said.
We still didn’t look at each other. We both seemed to know that if we let our eyes meet we wouldn’t be able to stop what happened after.
I could look at his reflection safely, though, and I did. “It’s only been a few days,” I said, “You hardly know me. How can you think you want me so much?”
“Some things you just know right away,” he replied. His reflected face grinned.
“We shouldn’t,” I said, wondering if I was trying to convince him or myself. Maybe both.
“Will you try and stop me?” Ward asked, his eyes regarding my reflection.
I didn’t reply, because I didn’t know the answer...

Deep sigh... Dear Lord please save us from the vapid,lame and useless man whores! Soo sick of the useless men who are soo shallow and useless,who can't keep it in their pants for more that 5 seconds, ESPECIALLY when they SUPPOSEDLY can't stop thinking about the heroine of the book.... h doesn't just fall immediately into my bed or onto my cock soo I just mindlessly F other women until then ? WTH ?!?!? When Quinn meets Vaughn he's in the middle of a fight with some bimbo ,that's begs to stay one minute and is almost literally hitting on Quinn or trying to the next..... Eeeeeeeeewwwwwww ;( and next time me she goes to work she's being told he only wants to work with her on his account ,while he's at his new house ( because the company he's working with didn't book his lazy billionaire butt a nice enough hotel in his opinion, though why he or his ppl didn't do it,we don't know ) with now new raven haired bimbo while supposedly thinking of Quinn... WTF?!??!? Ppplease , pathetic... This guy is just a mindless slut and a waste of Quinn's time ,but mostly yours and mine... I'm sick of useless men like him in books that have nothing going for them but imaginary looks,we wouldn't want a heroine like this why do put up with a man like this? No Thanks! Only grateful this is KU

Cute, predictable and tame. (I would expect a book titled Insatiable to be... well, not tame.)
The story wasn't bad. In fact, it was downright entertaining. I had a few issues with some plot points, but they're definitely just the overanalyzing of details I tend to do.
I, however, did have a minor problem with the characters. I like my female leads to be a little more exciting. When she wasn't milquetoast-y, Quinn came off as either standoffish or needy. Vaughn started off as a jerk, then promised himself he was going to stop being a jerk, but guess what? He was a jerk again, although in his defense, it was in response to Quinn's neediness. And he did make up for it in the end.
It was a quick and easy read and a refreshing deviation from all the stuff I've been subjecting myself to lately. I needed this light and fun read.

Fast and light read... one of those insta love story were nothing else really matter in the story... characters' life are very little shared... some bits here and there... so there's not much to connect to.
Heroine was a strong self suficiente woman who actually push his lover to say the 3 words to her or she leave him... (not so strong when you make demands like a needy psycho) yeah well nothing romantic on psychological manipulation.
Besides that story flow fast...

I loved this book!!! the author did an amazing job describing the main characters and the story itself. What I loved the most was the MC'S development throughout the story, even though, that the book was relatively short. The author created a perfect combination of small details that made this book unique and fresh. I loved Quinn!!! she was a strong, independent and sweet heroine and Vaughn was the perfect complement to her character, even his playboy ways were carefully explained and it gave the reader a base to keep reading the
story. I strongly recommend this book!!!

very good. nice quick read for me. it was a bit instalove....but it didn't bother me too much. I was annoyed a little at Quinn because she tells him after they have known each other for a month that she is taking for him. and she gets upset that he doesn't say the same. yes it took a lot for her to say that... and he knows that. but he also has issues with relationships. and she knows that. but she doesn't understand our give him a break?
anyway, that was my only con. everything else is on the pro side...and I loved the HEA of course.

Insatiable is right!
Perfect title for this book. I couldn't get enough of it. Quinn and Vaughn make this story come to life and I think I gained yet another book boyfriend. There were some spelling and grammar errors but not enough to take any stars away. This book was genuinely good and I would definitely give it the full 5 stars again.

Good read. I still didn't understand his issues, and after a while didn't care.
It's a good story and worth your time. So enjoy. The characters are good eve though they aren't fleshed out enough, but not enough to ruin the read. Just ignore the lack of character background and go with the here and now.

Quirky
It's not a long story but it's funny. I loved how "professional" Quinn was with trying to do her job, handle an ugly co-worker, and trying to handle Vaughn. All around it was a cute and funny read. The serious side didn't quite grab me otherwise I would have made it 5 stars.

It was not bad
I liked the book but it didn't reach out and suck me in. I never really connected with the main characters. I liked the writing style there are few errors in the digital copy but not enough to annoy.

Vaughn is a great book boyfriend!
The story could have kept going and I would have read every bit of it. Vaughn and Quinn give each other a run for their money.

I like that the book was a standalone and not have to go through several books to get to the point. I will be reading from this Author again

This was a good, fast read. I liked Vaughn and Quinn. Both had issues with relationships, but still decided to try. The ending was a little fast but overall I would recommend this book.

Fair
Pretty good story but unfortunately it contains a lot of grammatical errors that should have been caught in editing. A beach read.

September 2, 2015Had the weirdest feeling while reading this that the author was 17, had never had a job, and really believed her mom when told, "they're only mean because they are jealous."
