Quantum #4
Rapturous
The story begun in the initial Quantum Trilogy picks up on Oscar night after Academy Award-winning director Hayden Roth kisses the woman he desires above all others, even though he knows she can never be his.
Addison York craves her boss’s best friend, Hayden, but he has never given her an ounce of encouragement — until tonight when he kissed her after winning the Oscar. Was that kiss the start of something or another in a long line of frustrations where Hayden is concerned? Something is keeping him from acting on the attraction that simmers between them, and Addie is determined to find out what it is. But when she stumbles upon the secret that Hayden, Flynn and her other close friends have kept from her, will she allow hurt feelings to get in the way of true love?
When Hayden won’t share his BDSM lifestyle with her, Addie decides to conduct her own research. Will she be intrigued or repulsed? And what will Hayden do when he finds out how she’s been spending her evenings?

'Rapturous' was another great installment in M.S. Force’s erotic series 'Quantum' and like its predecessors it was a fantastic blend of sweetness and sexiness mixed with some very sexy BDSM elements. While the three previous books tell the story of Flynn and Natalie, this installment features another couple, Hayden and Addison ‘Addie’. Needless to say it can be read as a standalone. In spite of that for a better understanding of these characters’ backgrounds I recommend reading the previous books as well. 'Rapturous' was fast-paced, sexy, with moderate angst and drama, and overall I found it to be very entertaining.
The story picks up on Oscar night after Academy Award-winning director, Hayden Roth kissed Addie, the woman he always fantasized about. From that moment Hayden knew the dynamic between them will change in one way or another.
Addie had worked for Hayden and had loved him in secret for ten years. She always wanted to be kissed by him the way he kissed her at the Oscars. She always suspected he wants her too, but neither of them have ever given in to the attraction that simmered between them for a long time.
Hayden tries to stay away from Addie. He always avoided complications and sleeping with her will change everything, knowing very well that one night together will eventually destroy their friendship. As much as he tries to stay away from her, he simply can’t. She is too irresistible and she seems to want him as much as he wants her, but Addie doesn’t know…yet, that she will get way more than she bargained for with Hayden.
After one passionate night together, as much as he doesn’t want to, Hayden is ready to stay away from Addie mainly because he has a secret – for several years he has been a sexual Dominant. He believes Addie is not into this lifestyle that means everything for him, that she is not a submissive so he rejects her trying somehow to protect her.
I enjoyed Hayden and Addie’s story a little more than Flynn and Natalie’s. It was well written, entertaining and so very sexy. I enjoyed the story-line and the fact that overall the story wasn’t too angsty even if it had a lot of potential to be. I really enjoyed the back and forth between the two main characters and I appreciated the fact that it wasn’t OTT as the story unfolded. The dynamic between them was intense, crazy at times and overall fantastically done.
Both Hayden and Addie were great portrayed, engaging characters. To be honest I liked Addie’s character a little more, maybe because IMO her character was a little more developed than Hayden’s. Hayden like any other Dom I suppose was – possessive and protective, but he also showed that he can be sweet, caring and very considerate with the woman he loves. Addie was pretty great as well. She was such a spitfire at times. I loved the fact that she wasn’t a doormat as the story progressed and that she was so determined to make Hayden realize that she can be what he needs. She was strong, confident and I totally loved her perseverance.
The BDSM aspect was not very heavy, which I enjoyed since I usually I'm so bored by this aspect. There are some BDSM scenes, but they were well-written, so erotic and not very OTT.
I love the connection between these two characters and I loved them together, but I would have wanted the romantic relationship between them to be more developed. IMO the transition from friends to more was a little too rushed.
All in all, 'Rapturous' was a great addition to the series. Looking forward to read the other characters’ stories.

“I love to breathe in her sexy, alluring scent and fantasize about burying my face in her thick blond hair while I fuck her. I want to lose myself in her and never come up for air.”

“His desperation matches mine. His hands are everywhere, his lips ravenous, as if he’s been starving for me the way I’ve been for him. Every one of my senses is on full alert to his taste, his scent, the texture of his skin.”
After one passionate night together, as much as he doesn’t want to, Hayden is ready to stay away from Addie mainly because he has a secret – for several years he has been a sexual Dominant. He believes Addie is not into this lifestyle that means everything for him, that she is not a submissive so he rejects her trying somehow to protect her.
“I can't control her. I can't control myself around her. I can't control the way she makes me feel—wild and out of control. I'm never out of control. And that’s why I have to stay away.”

Mixed review and a big ole rant ahead.
Did I like the romance between the intense, broody Hayden and devoted Addie, you bet. Did I care for the BDSM aspect? Hell NO! So therein lays the conflict. I’m so tired of BDSM stories, had my fill with Fifty and am so tired of all my favorite authors deciding to jump on this bandwagon. It pisses me off to no end!!! But I also dearly love this author. I thought surely sensible Addie wouldn’t be as big of a pushover at Natalie in the last 2 bks. But sadly…NO, that’s not the case.
I promised myself no more 1-clicking this series, so this is my bad. But now I know I just can’t go forward with this series unless of course Marlow gets to do a beat down on some guy in the name of “you only want it because I do and it’s the best painful awesome sex of your life, and you’ll do it because you want me to love you”. What a rationalization, right?!? I thanked the heavens when Hayden told Addie he wasn’t into blood, urine/excrement and animals. Praise the book gods!!!
Reading another story where another woman is afraid, bruised and can’t walk straight from the pain of the night before and is in too much pain to go at it again, but does so anyway because her guy wants it is utter bullshit in my opinion. I’m shaking my head in disgust at Addie while she’s cringing and limping around and can’t sit. Oh but its consensual right? Sure, but is this not a therapist dream? Sounds like a big mindfuck to me. The idea of BDSM never occurs to these women until the guy they love wants it and then of course they’ll bend over whatever spanking bench is handy to take all the Dom can dish out because she wants him to love her. Biggest crock of horse shit ever!!!! Don’t so many women take enough unnecessary abuse from men that women authors have to dress it up as fun? Baffled by the bullshit of it all. Or maybe I just need a book with this theme where the author does a better job of making it all believable.

4 stars
This is the fourth book in the Quantum series, and could probably be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading it in order to fully appreciate the characters and their relationships. While the first three books focussed on one couple – Flynn and Natalie – this book brings us the story Flynn’s Director and best friend, Hayden, and his dedicated Assistant, Addison (Addie), and OMG, it’s a fantastic love story! Functional yet still slightly angsty, it’s the story of two people who are desperately in love (and HIGHLY sexed), who want to be together but live very different lives. It’s about discovering who they are, what they want, and finding that common ground, and I loved it!
At the end of the last book, it was Oscar night and in his moment of triumph, Hayden grabbed Addie for a celebratory kiss that was seen around the world. It was an unexpected kiss, but one that meant so much as it was the first time either of them had shown any sign of the attraction that they have had for each other for a long time, but had never acted on. It’s also the kiss that changes everything because afterwards, there is no more hiding for either of them.
The chemistry between these two is sizzling! Their physical attraction is intense, and there is lots and lots of hot and steamy sexy time, but more than that, they have a deeper connection. They love each other, and they know it without a doubt, but while Addie is thrilled that Hayden finally seems to be returning her feelings, he is holding back from her, and he won’t tell her why.
Hayden has a secret - he is a sexual Dominant, and is heavily into kink (though nothing too terrifying), and he doesn’t want to expose her to that. He craves control but knows that she isn’t submissive, and he believes that there’s no way a relationship between them can work. So there is quite a bit of back and forth, with Hayden pushing Addie away only to be stripping her naked again at the next available opportunity; but you can see that underneath it all the two of them are trying desperately to make it work, so it didn’t become too annoying. We see Hayden’s confusion as he is torn between his love for Addie and the needs of what he considers to be his darker side. He wants to protect her from being hurt, and it’s easy to see that he genuinely has her wellbeing at the forefront of his mind. And deep down, he’s afraid that letting her into his world, and allowing her to see his darkest desires will change her feelings for him.
But there is so much more to Addie than he ever knew. She is an absolute spitfire! She loves Hayden fiercely, and she goes after her man with single-minded determination, not allowing him to push her away. When she learns his secret, she is shocked, but she takes it in her stride and is open to idea of exploring it with him - and she does it without coming across as a doormat, WIN! She is strong and confident, she knows what she wants, and she fights for it. And when Hayden refuses to include her in his world, she takes it upon herself to research the lifestyle, learning the physical and emotional aspects of and what would be expected of her. I love her tenacity, and how she doesn’t let Hayden walk all over her. She’s a great heroine who doesn't hold anything back, and I liked her a lot.
If you’re concerned about the BDSM, don’t be. Yes, there’s a heavy emphasis on the lifestyle, but I thought it was addressed and explained sensibly and respectfully, without sensationalising it. It’s definitely something that the characters explore, but it’s in the bedroom only and most of the sex in the book takes place before they enter into that sort of relationship and it’s actually pretty tame – hard and rough and very descriptive (Hayden seems to have supernatural stamina!), but definitely vanilla. There are a few Dom/sub scenes, and some kink (some featuring Hayden and Addie, and other stuff that Addie sees while she’s exploring), but even those are fairly tame compared to other books that I have read, and I thought it was handled really well.
But the focus is definitely on the romance, and this is such a gorgeous love story. Hayden and Addie are both so sure about their feelings, open about the fact that they want each other badly, and desperate to be together, but unable to get on the same page about how, or whether, it can actually happen. The feelings are intense and the sex is off the charts hot, and I really enjoyed their journey as they discover what they truly want and find a way forward together.
The rest of the Quantum group are all a part of the story – especially Flynn and Natalie - and I loved getting the chance to catch up with them, as well as get a hint at possible future books… please!!
I really enjoyed this book. Hayden and Addie’s love story is beautifully written - engaging and exciting with a great mix of drama, romance, sex, and some funny lighter moments. I listened to it as an audiobook and loved the dual narration, and I thought the narrators did a great job at telling this bringing these characters to life.
A great read – 4 stars.

Hayden durante la notte degli Oscar, preso dall' entusiasmo e dalla smania di toccare la donna che anela da un pezzo, bacia Addie, l'assistente di Flynn, amica ormai cara di Natalie. E tra loro tutto cambia. Lei lo ama ormai da anni; il suo gesto l'ha spinta a dichiararsi e a combattere per averlo. Hayden, come fece a suo tempo anche Flynn, è convinto che nessuna donna accetterà mai il suo stile di vita, e gli incontri segreti che avvengono nell'esclusivo Club della Quantum. Lui ha profondi problemi radicati, infatti nei precedenti libri della serie ci è stato presentato come un uomo difficile, complicato, complesso, ciò è dovuto anche a causa dei problemi di dipendenza di sua madre. Ma Addie è una ragazza determinata, chiama il suo amico stilista e si fa iniziare al particolare "mondo" che gli uomini della Quantum tanto amano.
Una lettura piacevole e veloce, ho amato ritrovare Flynn e Nat.

...I didn't want it until I had it, and now it's all I want. She is all I want."
I LOVED the first three books in the Quantum Series and I seriously believed that Flynn and Natalie were the ultimate couple. You know, the ones that you keep coming back to after reading the next book in the series about a different couple? Yeah, Flynn and Natalie where that for me. They still are but Hayden and Addison are in equal running with them!
When I had finished the first book, Virtuous I had a huge dislike towards Hayden. I can't pin point exactly what it was, maybe it was his behavior or dialogues or simple they Ms. Force presented him to us, I just didn't like him! But then as we slowly moved towards Valorous and Victorious I started to like him. Not because he changed or cleaned up his act. No. It was because I realized that there were multiple facets to Hayden Roth and he kept himself so closed off that it would take something monumental for him to actually reveal his true self. And you know what? He did come undone by none other than Flynn's assistant Addison York!
From the moment Hayden kissed Addison in front of the whole world, the undercurrent tension that was between them... Gosh! Let's just say it wasn't "under" anymore.
Hayden and Addie... They are EXPLOSIVE, DYNAMIC and PERFECT for each other!
I'm her partner. Me. No one else. I realize tears are running down my face, and I don't care that I'm crying for the first time in my adult life in front of someone I barely know. My heart breaks at the thought of her doing those things with anyone but me."
I wish.
I wish.
I wish I could just post the whole dialogue but I would have given a lot away.
I wish I could just post the whole dialogue so that you could feel a smidgen of what I had felt when I read this scene. I felt so heartbroken over Hayden's predicament. Let's face it, when an Alpha male is brought down to tears you just can't handle it! I actually had to stop for a minute to absorb what had actually transpired between the two.
Hayden and Addie's intensity is just OFF THE CHARTS!
After this little blip when they finally got together I actually squealed and kicked my legs! I was just so HAPPY!
You're the only one I want. You're the only one I've ever felt this way about, and I'll never feel this way about anyone but you."
Sigh! This... I was in La La Land and flying on Cloud 9 at this point.
Like any other couple Hayden and Addie definitely had hardships. But their hardships weren't exactly from outside influence. Their hardships came in the form of Hayden's own insecurities and Addison's father. And just like any of our favorite couple they not only crossed, they jumped through those hurdles and came out stronger than ever.
Squeeeee!!! This book was so so so good and it was an absolute joy for me to read this and to see the whole Quantum family come together was nothing short of bliss for me.
I didn't think that I would actually love Hayden. Like yes. Love no. But I did! Gosh did I love his character so much! It was just do amazing to see Hayden transform. Sure, that tough guy still exists but by the end of the book he had a certain warmth to him that had previously lacked.
Ms. Force did such an amazing job with this book and to make me love a character that I had previously hated is nothing short of amazing.

I'm her partner. Me. No one else. I realize tears are running down my face, and I don't care that I'm crying for the first time in my adult life in front of someone I barely know. My heart breaks at the thought of her doing those things with anyone but me."
I wish.
I wish.
I wish I could just post the whole dialogue but I would have given a lot away.
I wish I could just post the whole dialogue so that you could feel a smidgen of what I had felt when I read this scene. I felt so heartbroken over Hayden's predicament. Let's face it, when an Alpha male is brought down to tears you just can't handle it! I actually had to stop for a minute to absorb what had actually transpired between the two.
Hayden and Addie's intensity is just OFF THE CHARTS!
After this little blip when they finally got together I actually squealed and kicked my legs! I was just so HAPPY!
You're the only one I want. You're the only one I've ever felt this way about, and I'll never feel this way about anyone but you."
Sigh! This... I was in La La Land and flying on Cloud 9 at this point.
Like any other couple Hayden and Addie definitely had hardships. But their hardships weren't exactly from outside influence. Their hardships came in the form of Hayden's own insecurities and Addison's father. And just like any of our favorite couple they not only crossed, they jumped through those hurdles and came out stronger than ever.
Squeeeee!!! This book was so so so good and it was an absolute joy for me to read this and to see the whole Quantum family come together was nothing short of bliss for me.
I didn't think that I would actually love Hayden. Like yes. Love no. But I did! Gosh did I love his character so much! It was just do amazing to see Hayden transform. Sure, that tough guy still exists but by the end of the book he had a certain warmth to him that had previously lacked.
Ms. Force did such an amazing job with this book and to make me love a character that I had previously hated is nothing short of amazing.

Le pondría muchísimas más estrellas.
No podía estar sin leerme este libro, por lo que lo cogí con muchas ganas después de leerte el final del anterior (aviso, esta autora le gusta cerrar los libros dejándote la boca abierta y pensando WTF??)
Voy a hacer una escritura con las mayores tonterías que se escriban a cerca de un libro, solo aviso.
ODIO LOS LIBROS DE BDSM, QUE SOLO TRATAN DE DOLOR, DOLOR, SIN INDAGAR MÁS EN LO QUE SE BASA BDSM. Donde la autora se justifica mediante el pasado de su protagonista masculino, para justificar esa inclinación o gusto sexual hacía BDSM. NO, NO NO. Han hecho un flaco favor a aquellas personas que tienen un estilo de vida sexual diferente a lo convencional (me encanta que en este libro y en los demás, la autora siempre hace referencia al Lifestyle). Coño, yo no lo practico, pero no quiere decir que me parezca malo, sino otra opción, además sería una hipócrita si dijera que no me interesa o no "llama la atención", cuando leo libro de erótica basada en BDSM.
Ahora sobre la historia de verdad es de la más bonita, más romántica, más enternecedora, más pasional, más caliente que el día de San Juan, que mejor describe el mundo BDSM desde el punto de vista de alguien que lo vive (aquí no tengo mucha idea sobre ello, pero me ha parecido creíble, y se ve que la autora se ha documentado) que he podido leer en mucho, mucho tiempo. He tenido el corazón en un puño durante todo libro. Me ha sorprendido los dos personajes de una manera absolutamente maravillosa. Durante el libro anterior, ya vamos viendo pinceladas sobre lo que sienten Addie y Hayden, pero ni llega al 1% de lo que sienten en realidad.
Addie lucha (si, no encuentro otra palabra mejor que esta) para demostrarle a Hayden que ella es su otra mitad, que puede darle todo y más para poder estar juntos. Siempre ha tenido una confianza total del amor que siente y del amor tan profundo que siente Hayden hacía ella. Claro que ha habido pequeños momentos de duda a la hora de afrontar lifestyle de Hayden, pero lo resuelve con una solvencia total.
Y sobre Hayden, mejor me controlo, ya que podría bloquear GD hablando solamente de él. Tengo claro que de ahora en adelante él pasará a mi grupo de inigualables, junto con Derek Craven, Lord Belcebú,Wulfric Bedwyn y otros pocos más, donde les tengo guardado en mi corazón y en cualquier parte de mi cuerpo que quieran poseer. Que personaje más maravilloso, complejo y completo. Es puro amor, si, si, AMOR del bueno. Como ama a Addie, que pasión, que necesidad, que temor ha hacerla daño, a no merecerla. De verdad, ha soltado cada frase, que mis enaguas volatilizaban en cero coma.
Lo volveré a leer si, si, si, si,.......

I thought I would like this story however, I did not. Hayden was an ass in the previous books and he was in this one too as well as wishy-washy which bugged me to no end. Yes, I realize he had a fucked up childhood but jeez, get a set of balls. And Addie. Hmmm, for such an organized, together person, she was just too stupid. Really, you're so desperate for Hayden that you will do anything, endure anything, just to have him. Honey, he is not worth it and your future does not bode well that he won't self destruct and take you with him.

Hayden has been in love with Addie for years. His best friend Flynn is aware of this and he understands why Hayden won't pursue her. He's a Sexual Dominant, his tastes are particular and he knows that Addie is too good for him. Too pure to ever enter into the lifestyle.
If that's not enough growing up in his family and seeing what his parents did to each other he has had no first hand knowledge of love. Apart from seeing what his friends parents had that is. All Hayden knows is that love is not for him. It's toxic and it never ends well. He'll love Addie from afar but that's all he's willing to risk.
Addie has secretly crushed on Hayden, that as she got older turned to into love. But he won't see her that way. When the chance arises for her to take the next step she does so. Hayden has no clue what's about to hit him.
He knows he shouldn't but he can't say no. An incredible night that blows them both away with the intensity of the chemistry between them. But when Addie awakes alone and Hayden does not respond to her calls she is beyond hurt, shes angry.
Hayden knows he crossed the line with Addie. But he vows to not do so again. But when his secret comes out and Addie demands the chance to experience it with him he flat out says no. Addie does not let this deter her. If he won't show her she will find someone who will.
When he finds out what Addie is doing and he may be to late, we see a change in Hayden. His near break down at the thought of Addie being possibly hurt trying to be what he wants he knows then that he will be the one. The one to bring her into the lifestyle and show her what it means to be a submissive.
With their relationship moving forward, Hayden approaches Addie's father Simon. He wants his blessing. But he's in for a surprise. Simon does not want Hayden for Addie. He knows or he's heard the rumors about Hayden and that's the last thing he wants for his daughter.
Addie won't let Hayden go, no matter what her father says. He's it for her.
I loved watching these friends become lovers. It was an erotically charged read that delves into the BDSM lifestyle. Gives you an understanding of what it is all about. The true meaning of the lifestyle and what it entails.

So this one was not as good as Natalie and Flynn's story. I loved Addie even in their books she was always one of my favorite secondary character, Hayden - not so much. Throughout this book though I think I got to learn more about Hayden and see him a little differently so I started to like him. Their romance is one of epic proportions. Friends for 10 years and finally lovers and soul mates. It is so sweet and so sexy. I love how they open up to each other and their love knows no bounds. I really love the epilogue, her birthday present to him is epic. Completely and utterly epic.
“Fuck romance, this is our life I’m talking about—your life with me. You are my life, Addison. You have to marry me. Say yes. Say you will.”
“Yes, Hayden, I will.” Because, really, what does it matter how or when he asks? The only thing I care about is that I get to spend my life with him.
*SWOON*

Java Girl's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
I was very excited when Marie Force announced that she was venturing into erotic romance with a BDSM series, I was disappointed in the first three books in the new series, but RAPTUROUS is exactly what I've come to expect from Marie Force--a well written story, a smart, perfectly paced plot, with well-developed characters, emotional depth, and hot (and plentiful) sex scenes, including several BDSM scenes.
I was completely caught up in Addie and Hayden’s story, which was a bit of a surprise for me. I didn't really care much for Hayden in Flynn and Natalie’s books, while I loved Addie from the very start. Happily, Hayden is more than redeemed in Rapturous. Once I got to know more about Hayden, especially details of his childhood, his behavior made more sense to me and I found him to be a very sympathetic, likeable character. I thought he just needed the right woman to make him realize his worth. Addison York, Flynn’s assistant, has been in love with Hayden for years. I appreciated Addie’s refreshing honesty, sweetness, intelligence, and especially her determination to know and love all parts of Hayden. Addie is very organized and researches everything. When she first learns about Hayden’s BDSM lifestyle, of course she researches it. The added bonus is the reader learns about the lifestyle right along with Addie.
There were a couple of instances where I thought this story was headed in a predictable direction, only to be pleasantly surprised by an unexpected, refreshing turn instead. I found the conflicts credible, and their resolutions deftly handled.
The level of BDSM in Rapturous is fairly light, so don't let that keep you from reading this book, if that's not your thing. It's definitely not my thing, but I really enjoyed this story and these characters.

Gah! What a letdown! I loved Flynn and Natalie's story and had an easy connection to the characters, but take it outside of that trilogy into the supporting characters and it starts to become a hot mess.
Hayden is a complete jerk. We knew this going into the book, but he takes it to new heights in this book. He has to control every aspect of his life because of his parent's marriage implosion, and because of this he keeps pushing Addie away, then he decides he can't live without her and sucks her back in. This is most of the book, and what makes it more annoying is that Addie takes all of it!
I was so disappointed in Addie. Aside from allowing Hayden to get away with his behavior, she thinks that one visit to a BDSM club and an afternoon's worth of research into the subject is all she has to know before she's agreeing to be an exclusive sub with Hayden. Uh, NO! I like to think that different Doms could teach her different things, and she could explore her sexuality more, but that didn't happen here. It was a missed opportunity to make the book much better.
There wasn't much romance in this book. Yes, the characters knew they loved each other, but with how much of a jerk Hayden was, there was plenty of opportunities for a tender, romantic side to grow in their overall relationship. That was yet another missed opportunity and it turned the book into one that was just all about the sex and not a relationship.
After all this, I don't think I'm interested in continuing the series. I can think of other BDSM series that are much better than this.

Five Fantabulous Stars
Book four in the Quantum Series
This book was beyond fantastic. This time we have Hayden and Addison, Hayden is the product of a very dysfunctional family. Rich Famous and a totally arrogant Hollywood director who's only way to deal with chaos in the world is to be a total dominant in the bedroom. Addie has loved Hayden for at least ten years and she is desperate for him to understand that she can be his equal in every area of his life including the bedroom. Every Dom needs a good sub after all........
Five stars because I laughed out loud, I cried real tears, and this book sent my hot flashes through the roof.

Addyson e una giovane donna di 27 anni che lavora come assistente dell'attore più famoso di Hollywood Flynn Geoffrey.
È innamorata da sempre dell'amico del suo capo, il regista Hayden Roth.
La notte degli Oscar dopo aver vinto la statuetta Hayden non resiste all' impulso di baciare la donna che ha sempre desiderato, anche se sa che non potrà mai essere sua a causa del suo stile di vita.
Ma Addyson dopo quel bacio decide che deve assolutamente scoprire il motivo per cui la tiene lontana visto che quel bacio gli ha fatto capire chiaramente quello che prova per lei.
Hayden frequenta il club BDSM di proprietà della Quantum insieme hai suoi amici più cari per questo pur ricambiano i suoi sentimenti decide che non potrà mai averla perché ha paura di spaventarla se solo scoprisse il suo segreto e tutto quello che vorrebbe fargli, rischiando di perderla sia come donna che come amica.
Non ha fatto i conti però con la testardaggine della donna che, ascoltando una conversazione tra Flynn e la moglie Natalie scopre il suo segreto, Hayden non ha nessun intenzione di farla entrare nel suo mondo ma Addyson è determinata a scoprire in cosa consiste, quindi decide di indagare per conto suo e capire se potrà reggere lo stile di vita che conduce l'uomo che ama.
Sarà una lotta dura perché Hayden ha troppi tentennamenti e se da un lato cede alla passione dall'altra non vuole cedere hai suoi bisogni, solo quando rischia di perderla capisce che forse si sbaglia e che Addy può essere la sua donna ideale.
Questo quarto volume e quello che mi è piaciuto di più francamente, apparte l'indecisione di Hayden, che volevo prendere a pugni sul muso per la sua ottusaggine, al contrario ho trovato in Addy una donna tutta d'un pezzo che sapeva quello che voleva e ha fatto di tutto per prenderselo.

You know that awesome feeling when you pick up a book that delivers so much feeling and emotions and you end up feeling the same feelings and emotions. Thst book that gives so much goosebumps as you read page by page. Thats what Rapturous did to me.
Rapturous is the fourth book in Quantum series written by M.S Force also known as Marie Force. It depicts the story of Hayden and Addie and their road to love and being together as a couple. It is a story of taking a chance on love. We first met Hayden and Addie in Virtuous, both harbouring feelings for each other but both of them not being able to act on it until a chance encounter lets them realise their true feelings.
Rapturous is a story that gave so much feeling. It made me swoon, cry, smile and just give me so much endless butterflies of happiness. Marie was able to weave so much magic into the story that it touched my heart. It is that one book that you read and you just dont want to stop reading. The emotions being so heartfelt and sweet that all the emotions seem to pour out of the book into my heart and soul and keeping there forever. That the magic of M.S Force's writing. Her ability to write worfs in a book that come alive.
Both characters were fantastic and addictive. Each othem had a truly breathtaking story and their thoughts and emotions gave the story so much edge and truly honest story too. I loved Addie. The perfect heroine in my eyes. She was feisty, badass and so down to earth. I loved that she was true to her feelings and she was willing to get what she wants without being pushy. I loved the way M.S Force wrote Addie. She is a woman who totally be your best friend. I totally would want to be her best friend. Oh yes. Now the hero Hayden, gosh i love that name. I might name my child that name lol. I live a broken hero. A broken hero with a broken past that nakes you want to give him a big hug. Obviously he is fictional but all i wanted was to give Hayden was big hug. He was dominant, alpha, loving, caring but behind that he was a guy with a painful past. I loved his journey to be able to love someone and to be there for someone despite his background. Even his thoughts made me cry for him and also sad. I was also happy to see Flynn and Natalie from Virtuous. A glimpse on hiw they doing and it was just awesome.
Overally , I'm so happy that M.S Force wrote this book. I was one of the readers that begged for Hayden and Addie's story and she did not disappoint. She brought out a magical, heartwarming and honest story that is now one of my favourites. Higly recommend this book. If you love a good HEA story with some kink, this is the book.

5 Star Review of Rapturous (Quantum #4) by M.S. Force
This is book 4 in the hugely successful Quantum series and is the story of Hayden Roth and Addison York.
We were introduced to these characters in the very first book in the series and although I loved Addie from the first, I can’t say the same for Hayden. Initially he was a jerk, and I wasn’t fond of him. Although, he grew on me as the series progressed, it wasn’t until I read Rapturous that I really fell for him.
I particularly enjoy BDSM and was extremely interested to see where this story would lead. I have to say I was not disappointed. M.S. Force weaves a very engaging erotic BDSM story and I loved this book.
Addie has always harboured feelings for Hayden, the best friend of her boss Flynn. What she has no idea of is that Hayden has feelings for her too, a fact that he may have accidentally let out when he kissed her at the Oscars after winning Best Director.
After “the kiss” will Addie take a chance and try to create something with Hayden or will Hayden’s fears get in the way of exploring the special connection that these two so obviously share?
I really enjoyed reading the story from multiple points of view, not only by Hayden and Addie but also on occasion Natalie. It was great catching up with the other characters of Quantum and I cannot wait to read all their stories.
Will Hayden’s commitment as a Dom in the BDSM lifestyle and Addie’s complete naivety break them apart before they even get a chance to explore? Or will her commitment to her love for Hayden compel Addie to explore the lifestyle that she was oblivious in knowing was a part of not only Hayden’s life but also all their closest friends? You need to read Rapturous to find out.
I am excited to see what M.S. Force has in store in Ravenous for Jasper and Ellie. I highly recommend this book and the series. Although a stand-alone, I feel to get the “story” of the people who make up this group of Quantum people it would be best to read them in order. I know you won’t be disappointed.

Will Hayden’s commitment as a Dom in the BDSM lifestyle and Addie’s complete naivety break them apart before they even get a chance to explore? Or will her commitment to her love for Hayden compel Addie to explore the lifestyle that she was oblivious in knowing was a part of not only Hayden’s life but also all their closest friends? You need to read Rapturous to find out.
I am excited to see what M.S. Force has in store in Ravenous for Jasper and Ellie. I highly recommend this book and the series. Although a stand-alone, I feel to get the “story” of the people who make up this group of Quantum people it would be best to read them in order. I know you won’t be disappointed.

The unexpected kiss that ignites a 10 year attraction
The attraction between Addison and Hayden has been simmering for the past 10 years. The unexpected kiss Hayden gives her when he wins the Oscar for Best Director, has Addie determined to pursue him. Hayden has fought his attraction to Addie, she’s his best friend and business partner’s super-efficient assistant. Hayden doesn’t do relationships, feelings, or romance. He also lives a super-secret life and is unwilling to bring Addie into it. Once she finds out about it, Addie is just as determined to be prove to him that she can handle it and wants to be introduced to that lifestyle even if it means going elsewhere to be trained.
This is the 4th book in the Quantum Series and I feel they should be read in order for the backstory. The writing is done in first person point of view and is smoothly done between the characters. Hayden was not a favorite character of mine in the previous books, but Marie has a track record of making us change our minds about some of her characters. I loved how Hayden fought against his feelings and the conflict he felt. I loved how feisty Addie was portrayed and how determined she was to get what she wanted. I love how the characters live this secret lifestyle parallel to leading their famous lives. “Warning: If you hate foul-mouthed heroes who like it a little rough and dirty, this might not be the book for you…. Contains hot and sexy BDSM scenes among other things that might not appeal to the faint of heart. Enter at your own risk and enjoy the sensual indulgence of Hayden and Addie’s steamy story!”

5 Star Review
I love this series and as each book is released I think it can't get any better but it just does !!!!
This is the fourth book in M.S. Force's adult Quantum erotic BDSM romance series and this is Hayden and Addie's story.
Addie has had feelings for Hayden since she first met him when she came to work for his best friend Flynn. The feelings she has seem very one sided until Oscar night......
Hayden has kept his feelings regarding Addie to himself, after all he would never be good enough for her so what possessed him to kiss her after collecting his Oscar. Was this a mistake he will regret or will these two get through the problems that only Hayden can see.....
This book has it all, some really hot sex that is erotic yet intimate, a lot of mixed emotions that had me at times wanting to slap Hayden , romance and friendship.
Past characters are present in this book as are new ones like Devon Black owner of the BDSM Club Black Vice, I do feel that you could read this as a standalone although reading the previous books will give you an insight to the co workers at Quantum.
This is a series I will read and read again and even though I have just read the last page of Rapturous I'm so looking forward to Jasper and Ellie's story in Ravenous.
M.S. Force has given us yet another 5 star read

A Home Run
Rapturous is everything you want it to be and so much more! An amazing story of two very strong independent people fighting for the life they want together, even if Hayden needs some convincing on that front. It has heat, humor, romance, and I couldn't put it down! I can't wait for Jasper and Ellie's story!

As alway, every book written by Marie must be read in one sitting because you can't put it down. Addie and Hayden's story is one of not only want, but need. The sexual chemistry is outstanding, and the love is breathtaking. A must read in the continuation of the Quantum series.

A million stars?? I LOOOOOOVED this book :)
Hot hot hot and panty-melting hero, this book is perfection from cover to cover!
The thing I loved most was Addie, she's a kick-ass heroine and forever on my fave list!

MS Force didn't disappoint with Hayden and Addie story. Hayden was much more complex than I got out of the first three books in the series. Full review to come.
