🎧 Audio Review 🎧

HOLY HOT!!! I seriously love this series! This book was exactly what I hoped for! I already read this book but I just had to listen to the audiobook now that it is out! Both versions were incredible! If you like audio, this series with these narrators is completely off the charts AMAZING!

Since this is my review of the audiobook lets talk about the amazing narration! The final sex scene is probably the hottest scene I've ever listen to in an audiobook! The scene is great and the narration truly takes it to a new level of hot! Erin DeWard and Noah Michael Levine have a chemistry that made their storytelling so believable, seriously you would think they were the actual characters and these things were really happening to them with the way they get into the scenes. They hit the emotions and the enthusiasm perfectly in my opinion. LISTEN TO THIS BOOK!


Since I read & reviewed the ebook already, I'm just going to share my review of the story instead of rewriting a new review since I still feel 100% the same way about the story after listening to it.

ORIGINAL EBOOK REVIEW:

SIMPLY AMAZING!!!! I can't even begin to explain how many ways this book was everything I wanted it to be!! Suspenseful, Exciting, Loving and SERIOUSLY HOT! I couldn't put it down!

I loved that Xavier didn't use his past to bring him down, it only made him stronger. He is pissed and wants to destroy the Society to make sure no one else gets hurt by them the way he was. I love his relationship with Elaine, he is so protective of her and loves her so much that he lets her decide how their relationship will proceed.

In the beginning, Sebastian is heart broken but Elaine is helping him cope. I really loved that we get so much more of him in this book. He is very adventurous and makes sure that every one of them gets a push toward the unknown. He is so hot with his dominance, dirty talk and open sexuality. Also he's protective and a bad ass when he needs to be.

Elaine is strong but very confused in the beginning. Confused by Xavier going silent for weeks and then by the relationship developing between her and Sebastian, oh and we can't forget about Marco ;) I loved that she gets past that and just wants them all to be happy.

The sex scenes in the book are off the charts hot! The author hit every hot button I have! The last sex scene almost set the book on fire! I think having them all care so much for each other makes every kinky moment even better.

The only negative is that I have to wait for book 3, but at least I'll get this book on audio soon to hold me over. I know that is going to be one of the hottest audiobooks ever because the scenes alone are so sexy but the narration will make it even sexier...If that's even possible!!

THIS IS A MUST READ!!!

'Surviving Doctor Vincent' by Renea Mason is book two in "The Good Doctor" Trilogy. This continues the story of Elaine Watkins, Dr. Xavier Vincent, Marco and Sebastian.
I would recommend read the previous book to catch up on their story before reading this one.
This picks up with Elaine wondering what happened to Xavier and why she has not heard from. It also continues the story of the story of the 'Society' and gives us more information about them and Xavier's life because of them.
This also deals with how Marco and Sebastian will fit into their lives in moving forward with their story.
This book for sure has some hot scene with a lot of mystery and drama thrown in! Great Exciting Read!!

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

As Elaine returns to the states, the taste of Paris still lingers on her tongue. In one week she was introduced to a world of sexual experiences with the enigmatic Dr. Vincent and his two close friends, Sebastian and Marco and found herself unraveling a mysterious secret society.

Now that Xavier knows the truth behind his past and is able to fully indulge in his sexual appetite, we get to continue on the polyamorous journey of these four characters. I wasn’t sure exactly what would come of their arrangement now that Xavier was able to indulge fully, but I was pleased to find that the connection these four shared wasn’t just abruptly ended with the revelations of what the Society truly was.

So with the knowledge of the Society, both characters begin to dig deeper into how they personally became a part of this world, how their lives were manipulated by the council. I never really expected this series to take this sort of turn, but I was pleasantly surprised by it.

This book was off the charts hot, suspenseful and completely unexpected. I really had no idea that this was the world I’d be entering when I started this series. This is one of those books that even if you don’t enjoy the plot, you can’t help but love the sex. But luckily for me, I am loving both aspects. But I really really really really love the sex in this book. Being my first readings from Renea Mason, I can safely say it will not be my last.

Surviving Doctor Vincent

by Renea Mason





Smokin’ H O T !!!

This series is getting steamier, more intense, complicated, and enthralling with each page!






I am completely fascinated with Elaine, Xavier, Sebastian, and Marco. The way Renea Mason writes about their ménage à quatre is very artfully written, seductive and provocative. It's like the difference between a smut magazine and nude painting by Renior or Edward Weston’s famous nudes. This is not your cheesy B-movie porn my friends.





Dr. Xavier Vincent is their alpha and such an enigmatic one at that. I have my doubts right along with Elaine. Its euphoric when they're together but miscommunications lend thoughts to be riddled with suspicion. The foursome will definitely take you for a ride on the twisty emotional roller coaster.





Xavier, Sebastian, and Marco are such gentleman and completely infatuated with Elaine. They are romantic, protective, and treat her like the Queen Xavier proclaimed her to be. Even though all three men have dominant personalities I love how they insist Elaine decide how things will go, ultimately she is the one in control.





Surviving Doctor Vincent is a very well written, highly erotic and gripping book that kept me reading through the night. Oooh la la, Renea Mason has devised some immensely enticing imagery good enough to file away in someone's fantasy collection. (Ahem, clears throat)


So, off to starting the last book! I hope they all end up together!

NO joke i listened to this book in one shot and stayed up more than half the night to finish it. Elaine made me shake my head a few times but the dynamic between her Xavier, Sebastian, and Marco is amazingly hot and her lapses in judgment didn't make me downgrade the story because everything else was a home run.

I'm a little iffy about the six degrees of Kevin Bacon thing but there's only one more book and I trust Renea Mason to give me a solid story with a stellar ending. I loved that Sebastian got a lot more facetime in this book and his true nature was shown. Yeah he's hot as fuck. Marco makes a cameo in this story and boy what a cameo it was.

I swear, if I ever meet Renea Mason, Noah Michael Levine, or Erin deWilde at a conference I may not be able to look them in the eye and not blush. Let your freak flags fly my friends!!!

I cannot wait for book 3.

story 4
narrators 5

I will say the story ends in sort of a cliffhanger but it's not a horrible one. I usually hate cliffhangers and will cus, kick, and scream, when I come across one. But I knew this was a cliffy going in and I was prepared. My inner rage demon wasn't roused by the way this book ended but my inner fangirl is dying to know what happens next.

Okay so before I go in to my review let me say I loved this book right here

 photo sogood_zps9zif3oec.gif

Okay where do I start? After reading the first book, I see now that was just an introduction to the characters. This book is where the fun begins.

We met Marco, Sebastian, and Xavier.
Elaine is the Heroine. Note this about 3 men willingly sharing a women, NO CHEATING.

I’ll start with Xavier because he’s the one Elaine loves.

He’s still a mystery in this book, as a reader we still don’t know if we can trust him.

“Marriage is a joke compared to a commitment made to Xavier Vincent, It’s more like selling your soul to the devil- there’s no getting out of the contract.”




We learn about the society in the first book, and we find out the Xavier whole existence was a lie, and he was conditioned to be the person he is today.
He still sexy, mysterious, and brooding.


This book was more about Sebastian, and I loved it, and him.

“Xavier can take back his permission, but he can’t remove my mark”





 photo I want him bad_zpst5g55rna.gif



He’s is commanding and reassuring, if I trusted anyone is this book it would be him, and hope that doesn’t bite me in the ass LOL..
Marco wasn’t around much in this book, but he was missed. He’s the go with the flow fun loving one.

Elaine is confused about this relationship, as is the reader, like how the hell is the going to work?



“I want to see me drip out of you. I want you to show me the evidence, that I’m part of you, that I possessed you” – Xavier



Elaine doesn’t see how she can love more than one man. You would think it was a mess, but it’s not. The author makes it seem normal and natural.

"Love isn't an exchange of information. Love is a connection between two people that deifies explanation. Nothing stands in it's way- not distance, time, or circumstance. Love doesn't care how well you know me; it still exist. And no matter how hard you try to will it away, you will lose."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The saga continues!!
Book one: 4.5 stars
Book two: 5 stars

“Yes, love, I intended on ruining you for anyone else, but in the process, I ruined us all.”

When I read trilogies, I often like the second book the best, and this series was no exception. The plot ramped up- secrets were divulged, twists came out of nowhere, a lot of questions were answered, and even more were raised. Throughout all the suspense, though, the smut scale was still a full TEN. I didn't think things could get hotter than they did in book one, but Jesus... I was very, very wrong. As the relationship between all three men and Elaine deepened, so did their commitment to her... and, for some, each other.

That being said... for me, the mystery & intrigue surrounding Xavier hasn't dissipated in the slightest. Every time Elaine stood up to him, I cheered her along. She definitely isn't a doormat, so since he used to be a psychologist, I find it exceedingly suspicious that he always knows exactly what to say to cause her to forgive him. He talks a lot, with sweeping declarations, and that never sits well with me if a person's actions insinuate otherwise. Even if he's telling the truth and truly does love her as much as he claims he does, I still find him to be very manipulative. And honestly, that remaining small, niggling doubt towards our "hero" is what has kept me so fascinated with this story. The author did an excellent job creating the character Dr. Xavier Vincent- he's sexy, possessive, manipulative, brilliant, secretive, and obsessive.

I can't wait until the conclusion!!!

"I fall harder with every word, and I’m terrified that I will sacrifice every part of my identity and have nothing in the end to show for my effort.”

Little did Elaine know that curing Dr Xaiver Vincent would come with a price. It lands her right between this secret Society a group of people playing, manipulating people just to see who can have the most power. A group of sociopaths doing this to get pleasure of see a subject do great things or suffer under their hands. Dr Xaiver recruits his friend and protege Marco & Sebatian to help keep Elaine safe. As the bond grows stronger between Elaine, Dr Xaiver, Marco & Sebastian The Society makes her question if she could truly trust anyone. However it takes the love of all three men, yes three men to bring Elaine back. The sex scene are amazing, HOT as hell, this book will definitely bring you out any book funk you are having...

WOW. Just...love is a complicated thing, isn't it? We may not choose who we fall in love with, but we do make the choice, every day, to perform the act of loving them. Elaine (and the good doctor) are truly starting to learn this as they wade through their complex relationship.

I loved that we really got to take a good look at Sebastian in this book. His love for Elaine runs deeper than I ever could have imagined, and it was intriguing to watch Elaine figure out what that meant for her, and her relationship with all three of the lovely gentlemen she spent a week in Paris with.

There were some moments where I was VERY angry with the doctor...but in the end, he just loves Elaine, and wants to be loved in return, and I can't blame him for that.

I can't wait to see what LOVING DOCTOR VINCENT brings!

I give 3 stars because it is a very good erotic story, but as I've sais, it is not really my piece of cake. I feel fed up with sex and some discrepancies. I mean she is not an angel: I liked her most in the beginning when she accepted the whole menage because of love. But now, she likes it. She just, how should I say, she just enjoys havin sex with three men and claims to love one of them...it doesn't work for me. I know....I liked it and I agree to some point in the beginning, but only because it was a sacrifice. Now is real animal pleasure...
Anyway, the book for its genre is really good. But I think had my portion for all the year. Still have the last one but I really need a break. Something deeper, more intelligent, more sophisticated...

I don’t know why I didn’t continue this series the first time I read Curing Doctor Vincent but I am fixing my error because after re-listening to CDV. Well I just couldn’t stop.

We really learn about Vincent’s ex and how messed up she was but also what she was messed up in.
It’s an intricate tale that is at time unbelievable but then things happen and your like what the heck did that just happen. What is real what isn’t real?

The connection forged between Vincent, Elaine, Marcus and Sebastian is a complicated one but I really do like that she never has to pick. They all accept each other wither that is from the past or because Elaine is so understanding.

That ending though how she didn’t speak a word I am in shock. I have to keep listening.

The narration is fantastic.

The chemistry between Elaine and Sebastian rises to new heights in book 2. Emotions soar between Elaine and Dr. Vincent with all the new discoveries. Marcus makes a small appearance that keeps Elaine from feeling like she is losing everything. Things unfold more in this story and more mysteries come to light. There are so many more twists and turns and the heat rises even more. Renea Mason, as always, keeps me firmly set in her world and makes the characters feel so real. I am definitely looking forward to book 3 in this trilogy.

Update 9/18/2022

I have finished this book and even though it ends on a cliffhanger, I’m not so sure I want to continue with the third and last book.

It’s my opinion that if this author had left all the crap about the stupid Society out of the story, this would have been a far better book. It honestly felt that all the twists and turns about the Society confuse the author herself. The whole info dump at the end with Oscar was so messed up that I started skimming through some of it. I got the gist of it, but it shouldn’t have all been dumped into Elaine’s lap like that. Plus, she didn’t even tell Xavier about all that happened because the book just ended!

I’ve read some books in a series about a “brotherhood” of psychiatrists who experiment on people. It was truly fascinating and done very well. This book is awful compared to something that is done correctly.

There are also a lot of errors in this book. Missing words, incorrect words, misspellings. The author doesn’t even know the difference between lead (a metal) and led (the past tense of lead), or a fiancé and a fiancée. Elaine would be a fiancée because she’s female. I find it hard to believe that a proofreader who was worth their salt would miss that four times!

My two stars go to Elaine, Sebastian, Marco, and a little bit to Xavier. He really messed up at the beginning of this book and had me ditch the story for a while. Not cool.



September 17, 2022 - I’m going to try this again. I’m still of the opinion that these two are broken up. No matter what the doctor says, he abandoned Elaine once again and in her eyes they are not together. To me, that is a break up. You can still love each other and be separated or broken up, as in “not together.” Been there, done that.

I fell in love with the man responsible for saving her life—the great Dr. Xavier Vincent—only to find my love unrequited. The declarations he made in my office, after our week in Paris, proved to be nothing more than fiction.

My mood, a direct reflection of my inability to move past the doctor, was my own stupidity—my own heartache.

The doctor’s stare burned intense, hostile even. Fuck him. He could have told me our relationship was over.


Those are a few (not all, because there were a lot more) examples that suggest that they were not together anymore. Regardless of Xavier’s non-communication, Elaine was heart broken and didn’t feel like they were a couple any longer.


Original rantings from September 12, 2002

*****This contains spoilers for book one*****


At the end of book one we learned that Xavier was a product of a psychological experiment by some Society of psychiatrists. His late wife Lydia was one of those psychiatrists. When Xavier returned to NY(?) to tell Elaine he loved her, he also said that he wanted revenge against this Society.

SO…..at the end of the book I was 1) keyed up for this take down of the Society, and 2) happy that Xavier came to his senses and claimed Elaine as “his.” Yay! They’re back together and they can fight to conquer this Society thing and everything will be grand! Key word = TOGETHER! I’m a BIG fan of couples working through things together. What I’m NOT a big fan of is this BS that starts book 2 where THEY’RE NOT TOGETHER ANYMORE!!!!! I’m not going to stick with this back and forth yo-yo crap of “I want her, I don’t want her,” “You’re mine, I abandon you.” “Does he really want me?”

I’M NOT PLAYING THAT GAME!!! Once a couple gets back together, they should stay together!

ZERO STARS for that crap!

Surviving Doctor Vincent
The Good Doctor Trilogy, Book 2
By: Renea Mason
Narrated by: Noah Michael Levine, Erin Deward

Overall 3 out of 5 stars
Performance 5 out of 5 stars
Story 3 out of 5 stars
Reviewed: 01-19-20

Renea Mason has built an intriguing world with a secret and powerful society and laced it with (dark) erotica.
There are flaws in the writing and things that don’t add up for me and I’m bothered by the switch from consensual to force sex. There’s also a brilliant doctor who is playing with a young woman’s feelings.

Noah Michael Levin is wonderful as always. His accents, the emotion he puts in his voice - a true and talented storyteller!
Somehow, Erin deWard fell a bit short this time.

•••I listened to the Audible Audio Edition of this book•••


***Not for the homophobic or closedminded***



Noah Michael Levine and Erin Deward ’s performances just keep getting better! As they get to know the characters better their portayals become more layered and intense. Each character grows more expressive and interesting as they grow and interact. I think if I was just reading the books I would love alot of the subtext and subtleties they express in their performance. I really love this complex and intense storyline and I can't wait to listen to the next book!



××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××


Into The Fire


This series must be listened to (or read) in order. The first book is Curing Doctor Vincent. This is the second book. I can't wait to listen to Tasting Paris!


Elaine feels like her world is wrong. Her sister is getting married and moving away. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if X had not abandoned her after declaring his love. How is she supposed to be happy for her sister when she is all she has left?! There is no way she can deal with the betrayal and deceit all around her. Can she make herself be happy for her sister long enough to get her married off and far away from the mess that her life has become? Will she ever see X again? Why did he abandon her? Was their love another lie? Did all they accomplished mean nothing? How is she supposed to live this empty life after she had so much? Will she be safe from the Society? Will her sister?


Xavier has been solely focused on the Society. His entrance, acceptance, and rise to power. He feels he must dismantle them from the inside. His first priority is to keep Elaine safe. Unfortunately his single minded focus has almost lost him the one thing he craves... His Queen. Struggling to convince her of his intentions while still shielding her from the Society he comes up with a desperate plan. He will make her his Subject so she will be inviolate and therefore safe from meddling and harm. Will she agree to his rash plan? Will she still love him after it is all said and done? Will the Society keep to their rules and leave her be? Will something go wrong and destroy them all?


This psychological thriller thrives on subtleties and intrigue. Just when you think you know everything ... The rules change. Polyamory and Bisexuality are explored in great detail showing both the benefits and drawbacks of a larger than two person relationship :) Filled with erotic moments this book will keep you on edge of your seat!




***This series is suitable for adult readers who are open-minded and enjoy unconventional polyamorous erotica filled with thrills, mystery, adventure, horror, humor and suspense with a hopeful heroine and a few tortured heroes who need each other more than even they know :)

4 stars for this trilogy! This is book 2 in the Good Doctor trilogy. At the end of book 1, Doctor Xavier Vincent had told Elaine he loved her and wanted to be with her, but that he needed time to investigate his past. He has discovered a cult-like organization, The Society, has been orchestrating his life and many others' lives for hundreds of years for their own amusement. Xavier has to know what happened to him and he wants to bring down The Society. He leaves Elaine and doesn't return her calls. She doesn't understand what is going on and is heartbroken, thinking he doesn't love her. She sees him one day on the street and he realizes he has made a huge mistake and nearly ruined the love they were building. She, reluctantly, forgives him, but he decides that she, Marco, and Sebastian must all hide out together while they are running from and investigating The Society. Elaine's connection with Sebastian and Marco grows as she spends time with them separately and all of their connection as a unit grows stronger as they uncover the truth and fight for their future together.

I enjoyed this addition to this sexy and suspenseful series. I liked seeing how each of the people in the relationship brought something different to the equation and how they formed their own little family. They learned to trust each other. They made a few mistakes along the way, especially Xavier, as they learned how to make their relationship work, but they came out strong and happy together. I liked Sebastian's strength and dominance. Marco was funny and sweet. Xavier was still in charge and still mysterious, but he really loved Elaine and is learning to show his feelings more. Elaine is growing in strength with the love of the men and as she overcomes her past trauma. This was the first menage a quatre I have read and the sexy times were super hot. I devoured this series and moved right on to book 3, Loving Doctor Vincent.

The audio book...
I love this book! I have it in both the eBook version and the audio book version. Let me tell you, if you are trying to decide which way tho go, the eBook is cheaper version, but the audio is to die for! The narration is superb, almost like we are there watching and listening it is so real! There is so much heart felt emotions and the SEX! W O W!

The plot is excellent and oh so twisted! I can't wait for book three to come out so I can see how all this unfolds! it is a definite cliffhanger, which I love in a book. I love it when an author gives me a reason to hang in there...

The author, Renea Mason did a fabulous job on this book. She has written it in such a way making it hot and delicious and very dangerous at the same time. The co-narrators, Noah Michael Levine and Erin deWard are fantastic in their role plays! The voices, the accents and the emotions! I swear I felt like I was at the movies listening to it with my back turned away from the screen. I could practically vision it all myself! The author in combination with both narrators are totally combustible! W T G !!!

The eBook...
A fantastic, twisted, hot and sexy story even more original than the first book. Great story line and plot. I love where this story is going and in my wildest dreams, I could never have guessed how this plot would go! Even the suspense in this story is great!

I loved book 1, Curing Doctor Vincent. I loved this book 2 even better. I can't wait to see how book 3 comes into the story! I ask myself if I could love 3 men too? Hell yes! This is a menage at it's best!

The author, Renea Mason does a fabulous job at peaking our interest and leaves us begging for more, MUCH more! The society is so twisted. I am on pins and needles awaiting the finale of this series!!!

Get Ready For Some Mind-Bending Twists

Surviving Doctor Vincent continues a few months from where Curing Doctor Vincent ends, with Elaine missing Xavier. Xavier has declared his commitment to Elaine but he’s gone missing from her life. Her numerous emails and messages are left unanswered, and her emotions go on a roller coaster ride from worry to panic, and finally outrage while she believes she’s been played by the good doctor. But, they finally cross paths at a restaurant while Elaine is with her sister, and Xavier walks in with a tall, elegant blond beauty. Elaine’s feelings of hurt and betrayal punches right through to the heart after months without a word. But Xavier has an explanation that includes a secret society. Wow, the plot thickens!

The wait for Surviving Doctor Vincent was so worth it. We get more of Sebastian and Elaine, she’s helping him cope with his loss, and he is one alpha male who is unbelievably sensual and sexy, and very inventive when he gets his kink on. And Xavier is an enigma, with so many layers, his character had my head spinning. Although, he’s proving to be the master in this chess game that involves himself, Elaine, Sebastian, and Marco, and I can’t wait to see where all the pieces fall in.

This story had my heart pounding with excitement over non-stop plot twists, intrigue, and just enough angst that I just could not put it down. Renea Mason has written a smartly written erotic romance packed full of emotion, passion, and sizzling sexuality. I highly recommend this book, it’s been one of my favorite series of the year.

Ah yes, finally we have the next book in the Good Doctor erotic romance series. In this one Elaine is a bit disillusioned with the absence of Dr. Vincent since they returned from their very sexy adventure in Paris. The story takes many twists and turns this time around. If you thought the first book was hot and amazing.....hold onto your socks folks. The ménage is back in full force....with Sebastian making a return. He needs some cheering up and Elaine is just the woman for the job.

The excitement level goes up exponentially and a new danger is unleashed as well. When the Society rears it's ugly head once again and an evil enemy makes herself known. I really loved how the story got your mind working overtime to figure out exactly Elaine's roll in their scary plans was. The relationship between Elaine and Dr. Vincent is truly tested in this story. I'm really amazed how the author was able to make an erotic novel grab your attention and make it enjoyable both with the hot steamy love scenes with the four main characters. While at the same time spin a tale that contains such intriguing and complexity surrounding this secret society.....a society of psychopaths, that you just have to read to believe. You wont's want to put this one down until the very end!!

"Absolutely fantastic..."
I love this book! I have it in both the eBook version and the audio book version. Let me tell you, if you are trying to decide which way tho go, the eBook is cheaper version, but the audio is to die for! The narration is superb, almost like we are there watching and listening it is so real! There is so much heart felt emotions and the SEX! W O W!

The plot is excellent and oh so twisted! I can't wait for book three to come out so I can see how all this unfolds! it is a definite cliffhanger, which I love in a book. I love it when an author gives me a reason to hang in there...

The doctor keeps getting hotter and hotter! X's and Elaine's relationship grows stronger, but not without ease. Vincent shows back up after disappearing on Elaine in the last book. As soon as we find out why, the excitement begins--in many ways. Before they set up for their new adventure to take down the "community" that is responsible for Vincent's difficult past, Vincent wastes no time to make up for the passion the two of them had missed over the course of the last few months.
Our favorite trio is also in some trouble--there's heartbreak, danger and thrills, and hatred, but with a cast of strong, vibrant characters, they all make it work out in one way or another.
Mason has an incredible talent for making one single novella play out like a full-length novel or movie. Her stories pull you in, play on your heartstrings, make you hold your breath until the pain in the characters lives are over--and did I mention the eyes-glued-to-the-book sort of passion that will leave you breathless as you scramble your hand around looking for your drink? The Good Doctor has yet again taken me on a ferocious and euphoric rollercoaster ride that I never want to get off!

Wow, I had been waiting for this book since Curing Doctor Vincent came out. Now I can hardly wait for Loving Doctor Vincent.
I love the twists and turns that this book bring about and so many more that I can't wait to find out. Elaine, Xavier, Sebastian, and Marco have such a wonderful dynamic between them and to follow how the relationship grows is very satisfying. Now not to say this is going to be easy, you are talking many different personalities and melding them as people. Amazing job.
Then you have the suspense of all the twists and turns of the Society, what had happened in the past and what could happen in the future. I don't want to give away any details but what a ride it was. I could hardly put it down when I was reading as I had to find out what was going to happen next. I haven been enthralled by this story and I am impatiently waiting for the next story to see what happens. I have to say I will also be very saddened to see the story end. I have become addicted to this group of people and will miss them.
Wonderful read and look forward to any story from Renea Mason.

I am litterally speechless and on the edge of my seat awaiting the release of Loving Doctor Vincent!! I am completely enthralled with Elaine, Xaviar, Marco and Sebastian!! The chemistry between these 4 characters is captivating! Bravo to Renea Mason for completely blowing this book out of the water!! I would recommend it to anyone! The lines of love betrayal and lies has never been as bittersweet as it is in this series! The story line is suburb even at it's darkest most scandalous moments! This series is by far one of the best series I have ever read!! It is worth every award it has and will win! It is a series you will not want to put down! I have never been so sexually tested as I have reading this book! Get ready to need a cold shower after this book is done blurring the lines of anyone's wildest fantasies! I wish I could rate this higher than 5 stars as that by no means does this book or series justice!

Renea Mason you have done it again with Surviving Doctor Vincent. I didn’t think the series could get any hotter, but Renea has proven me wrong.

Elaine feels rejected and hurt since leaving Paris, as she hasn’t heard from the good doctor. Elaine soon realizes it was a misunderstanding and is quickly back in the world of her 3 favourite men. This story you see the story develop between Elaine and Sebastian. I love how you get to understand Sebastian more and how he thinks. We also learn more about the Society and how they manipulate people, situations etc.

Renea has provided the perfect blend erotica, mystery and romance in this amazing story. This book will melt whatever you are wearing. I was hooked from the first page to the very last when I put the book down and immediately purchased the two and third books in the series.

Surviving Doctor Vincent had all my emotions going. I love this series and certainly can’t wait for the final book.

** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **

JUST WOW!! I can not believe how dangerous this all gotten, I was NOT expecting that at all! I guess I was hoping for a very sexy happy time for Elaine, Xavier, Marco and Sebastian, but from the beginning it was conflict and danger! This secret society is not a nice crowd, and they really never are if they are as ancient as this one, and deep dark are coming out, things no one could have ever ever guessed...Elaine is very brave, but how much can one woman take? The Erotic scenes are AAA+++ and I was on the edge of my seat with both mystery and sexiness from beginning to end...I normally do not like a multi men situation in a story, but I do love this series...its written so well that you can not put it down once you start! I cant wait for book 3 on audio!

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY!! DON'T HESITATE JUST PUT IT IN YOUR CART AND CLICK NOW!!!!!!!

This was an intense, oh my goodness addition to The Good Doctor Trilogy that will up until late at night turning pages to see what happens next in store for Elaine, the doctor and the other men...

Yup, on the edge of your seat, suspense packed...

Thriller kind of story to see how wrapped up and warped the Society and how in deep they are involved and demented they can be.

The doctor, I wanted to smack him in the beginning... and then again in another part.


And sexy, oh goodness... there is some interesting scenes with kinky in the mix...

Way To Go, Renea you did an excellent job... Looking forward to reading the next one and seeing how this all wraps up...

Review will be on my blog.
