The chemistry between Caleb and Emma was stronger than ever, however... Emma's biological clock is ticking and Caleb's past has left him wary of marriage. The author did a great job explaining Caleb's past and his motivations and I was able to understand his hesitance.
Read to find out if these two can get their act together! Again, a short but enjoyable read with some drama mixed with sexy times.

I was a little pissed at Emma when she almost kept her feelings to herself. Didn't she learn her lesson from the first book?! Anyway, she is eventually honest with Caleb, but he knows her better than she knows herself, and he was not in the least surprised by her revelation.
I really love these two together. I loved their "little adventure" to the BDSM club for "book research" and the way Caleb handled it. I love the way Caleb loves Emma. I love the ways he shows his love. I loved that when he showed up at Emma's Comic Con costume party in a black tuxedo he tells her he dressed as an "Alpha Male hero in a Harlequin novel". LOL! I love him! Yep, lots of love!
Short and sweet! Definitely will continue with the series!

I'm really enjoying this serial reads series - which I'm reading for FREEEEEEE via my RADISH app!
Radish Fiction brings us books in parts (hence: serial reads) by a great selection of authors and genres. The prices range from TOTALLY free (not even a review required) to a couple dollars, at least so far...this series has been free as of this 'episide' (I'm pretty sure the whole series is free). The Radish app is also free via iTunes as well as the play store (android)...I have it on my iphone & my ereader.
4 trustworthy stars!
To the point of "Tell Me a Desire", I think this was my favorite so far; I'm really enjoying the character development and am truly smitten with our MC's: Emma and Caleb; the supporting characters are lovely, too - well, I'm reserving my final opinion of Collin for now. ;)
The chemistry between Emma & Caleb is luscious and getting to know them and their relationship has been a really fun, super hot ride....

Tell Me a Desire
Episode Two
Tamara Lush
So Episode Two starts 2 years after Emma and Caleb met. They have sort of been living with each other but not quite committed like Emma would like.
Emma is ready for marriage. And then her gyn tells her that she has hit advanced maternal age. So if she wants to have children she needs to pick up the pace.
Caleb has told her that he never wanted children with his former wife. But would he want them now with Emma?
Emma is driving herself crazy over this and isn't talking to Caleb about her issues.
Now she finds out she is preggo and she has to tell Caleb. She's afraid he isn't going to be happy with the news. So when she finally blurts it out. She finds out that he is excited about it.
He's so excited that instead of waiting to propose he goes ahead and does it at home with just the 2 of them.
Can't wait to see what Episode Three has in store for Emma and Caleb!!

I loved the ending!(I mean that in a good way!)The continuing story of Emma and Caleb didn't disappoint. I enjoyed reading how their relationship continued to evolve, and did I mention I loved the ending?!I liked that I got to learn more of Caleb's backstory and get a better handle on exactly who he was by way of his siblings, and that made the ending, to me, even more meaningful.I can't wait to see what happens to these two next!***I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***

Rating: 4.5/5
Tell Me a Desire picks up right after the ending of the first book, the characters are still pretty much all over each other. Their desire for one another hasn't diminished, but new issues start to evolve around them as they began to question their future together.
After Emma saves her bookstore things start to go well for her, but after meeting with her doctor one day she is given a dose of reality when she is told that she is not getting any younger and if she wants to have a baby she needs to have one soon. This makes her question the things that she wants and what Caleb might want as well. Soon she has to decide whether his plans will ever coincide with hers. On the other hand there is Caleb, for the first time he has been able to connect with someone that he truly loves. Yet having it all is never enough, it doesn't matter what he can give her with his money, because at the end of the day she'll want a future that he is not ready for. Despite their growing chemistry, there are things that they still need to resolve and the getting over the past might just be harder than he thought.
I very much liked the chemistry between the characters, it keeps evolving, yet they just aren't ready to fully commit to a future together. The author did a good job describing Caleb's past and what the characters have to overcome in order to fully have it all. It was an enjoyable read, I can't wait to read the next book in the series, it's going to be good. I would highly recommend checking out the first book, you will not regret it. :)

Emma's bookstore has been saved and her relationship with Caleb is going well and Sarah has just finished her degree and her relationship is going strong also. However, Emma has been thinking lately about commitment as though their relationship is strong, he has yet to make any suggestions towards marriage or even children. Emma thought that she wasn't ready to be a mum but lately it has been on her mind and after her latest doctor's visit where she was told her biological clock is ticking , it has been screwing with her thoughts . Have they got a good thing going or is Caleb scared of commitment ? The thing is though that Caleb has been married before and believes that it was the whole "marriage" idea that screwed up his first relationship. On the Sarah front , their relationship is going strong and they have been considering IVF and starting a family. What will happen though when Emma goes to get vaccines for a trip with Caleb to Brazil , only to discover she is five-six weeks pregnant ? Will Caleb be supportive of the new addition to the family ?

Awwwwwwwwww, that's so cute was the first thought that popped in my head after I read the last. Wonderful next chapter in the lives of Emma and Caleb. In this episode we find the couple two years into their relationship. Continuing in the same writing style has episode one this part explores the emotions and uncertainty that come with taking the next step. As Caleb and Emma maneuver the complexities of life together and tackle the fear of putting complete trust in someone else. We get bits of information about the other characters as well but like part one it's brief. Can't wait to see if there's more.

I stumbled across this book series and I must say it is a great, funny and sexy read. I know I will give the whole series 5 stars when I'm done and Mrs. Lush will be a new favorite author to my list!
I do have one major peeve and this goes for lots of authors. Write a whole book not 5 pieces and let us pay for an actual book. Is it money? If other are like me, you have us hooked with these characters right away. Stringing us along with 50 plus pages is crap. write a whole book!

Another good part of the story. I was a little disappointed at first that it jumped ahead two years but while trading it it made sense. The ending was my favorite part! now.on to part 3.

Uh Oh Secrets!!
Now that Caleb helped save Emma's business they share lots of time together in and out of the bedroom , but at her birthday party she realizes she isn't getting any younger . She yearns for one thing.... a Family .
Is Caleb up for the job or will he be using his safe word ?
I enjoyed reading about Emma and Caleb's relationship since it made a turn from the last part .In this part of the serial there are a lot surprises that I didn't see coming especially Caleb's secrets being let out of the bag.

The review was first posted on For The Love of Fictional Worlds as part of the Blog Tour hosted by Inkslinger PR
I adored Emma and Caleb in Tell Me A Story - how they started, their insecurities and their miscommunication, and the simple connection that they both shared.
So I was really excited to know how they both proceed forward with their relationship - especially considering that this is a 6 book series!
And It started off exponentially - you have both Emma and Caleb, still enjoying their domestic bliss when a surprising information by the doctor rocks Emma's world.
Still in the honeymoon phase, she is reluctant to do anything that rocks the boat, even if she has a lot of questions in her mind!
Okay, here's the thing I DO NOT like about a series following just a single couple - the stories tend to drag a bit!
And that's how I felt at times with this second edition - don't get me wrong, I adored Emma And Caleb together - their chemistry, their connection didn't lose a single iota of power from the first book to the second, but Some mistakes were repeated again and again - the lack of communication between them being the biggest, and it did get on my nerves at times!
But I am so happy that Ms. Lush made sure that it didn't drag on for lone - I am in awe of writing skills - seriously, the writing just freaking flows and it was one of the main reasons that I got lost in the book, even when the characters got on my nerves.
And now, I can't WAIT for the next book, for it has a blurb that is killing me right now!

In this part of the story series by Ms. Tamara Lush we meet up again with some of Ms. Lush’s wonderful characters and her captivating way she tells a story. I loved the first part tell me a story and knew this part was going to be good. I know I usually avoid these types of stories the most especially since a lot of times they end in cliffhangers and I have to wait to read the next part but in this part I didn’t mind so much.
Caleb and Emma have been dating for two years spending every moment they can together. Unfortunately the time they spend together is more of a sexual nature and Emma questions their relationship wondering if it will be permanent lasting forever leading to marriage and hopefully a long awaited baby. Caleb enjoys the relationship where it’s at but will Caleb be able to commit to Emma and propose or is marriage too much for him?
I have always liked and admired the free spirited independent unique style of Emma but in this part of the series she kind of irritated me. I didn’t like her pushing or questioning Caleb so much especially in wanting to get pregnant and married. I understand her frustration and her insecurity but she should have trusted him more instead of asking everyone what they thought. I still couldn’t help but like her and wanted to tell her to be just a little patient plus to talk with Caleb more. In this part I just couldn’t help but like and fall for Caleb. I sympathized with Caleb’s reticence in how he feels about Emma, his thoughts of marriage, a baby and even the future. I really related to Caleb in this part since there was a lot more about him. I didn’t think it was so bad for them to be dating for so long and thought Emma should have made that big decision/question Caleb had asked of her. I still loved the other characters Colin even though he irritated me but I think that’s the point, Laura and Sarah hopefully Ms. Lush will write about their continuing sage soon too. I can’t also wait to read the next installment of Caleb and Emma.

When I first met Caleb and Emma in Tell Me a Story, I remember thinking as I turned the last page “What a wonderful, heartfelt story”, and I thought that was the end. Little did I know there was so much more to learn about this captivating, passionate and adorable couple.
Tell Me a Desire picks up two years after their initial meeting and Emma and Caleb are every bit as consumed with each other as they were in the beginning. Spending most of her time at Caleb’s condo, Caleb is persistent in his longing to have Emma make the move permanently; but some inadvertent barrier prevents Emma from relinquishing her independence.
As her thirty fifth birthday swiftly approaches, and what should have been a routine check-up delivers a shocking and unexpected bombshell; Emma finds herself travelling an emotional rollercoaster of self doubt and unresolvable questions about the future and her heart’s desires. Plagued by what ifs, Emma starts second-guessing her relationship with Caleb, even as the depth of her love continues to grow. Distraught and confused the painful questions are replayed on a loop in Emma’s mind:
• Will Caleb become bored and therefore resort to infidelity as so many of her past lovers have done?
• Does she even want the baby her doctor has stated she must conceive within the next year, or lose her window of opportunity?
• Why does Caleb insist she move in, but never mentions marriage or a long-term commitment?
• Does Caleb even want to be a father?
Tell me a Desire is even more compelling than it’s predecessor and has only made me crave the next instalment of this like my next breath, and that’s quite the statement, as I usually don’t like serial stories. Maybe it’s that while this is an ongoing saga about this engaging couple, each story reads like a standalone and doesn’t finish on a cliffhanger.

Tell Me a Desire picks up two years after we last see Emma and Caleb. He saved her bookstore and they’ve settled into a contented relationship. In this episode, we get to see a snapshot of their life together. We read about the lengths that Emma will go to in her author life to research and how Caleb will help her. Their sex life is still off-the-charts hot. It’s like reading a blog or journal about their life.
I enjoyed it but I still struggled with connecting to Emma. It felt like the whole book was just a giant ball of self-doubts and miscommunication. I can handle small amounts of miscommunication but, this was just a bunch of do I tell him or don’t I? And then she talks to everyone but him. I’d like to think by 35 years old, most people have matured past that kind of behavior. I do want to continue reading until the end though, I want to see if they get their happily ever after. Plus I’m still attached to Caleb, I still find him hot as hell.

Erotica novels and amazing sex are a great start for this relationship. But as she gets older, Emma, is forced to realize that she wants more. She needs more. Now how does she explain it?!? Will she be able to tell him her deepest desires...
I found myself wanting to shake Emma. It's always easier to yell at fictional characters for their drama than to face our own. The drama in this book is about Emma's insecurities.
I enjoy the quick hit of these installments and look forward to reading the next.

As we move into the next phase of the relationship Emma realizes her bio clock is tick tocking away out of control as her 35th birthday comes up. Wondering what to do and where their relationship is headed causes her fits and riffs. We learn more about Caleb's previous relationships and they grow closer and get to know more. Love is precious but now is the time for them to figure out where to go from here.
This just gets better and better as we watch them grow into each other and feed this love. Nicely done as the passion continues and boundaries are pushed.

I was given a free copy for an honest review, a continuation of Tell me a story, this one is set 2 years later. Emma and Caleb are dating and things are going well. Her bookstore has been saved and the neighboring businesses. We get to meet Caleb's brother and sister and even Emma's dad. Emma gets some news from the doctor that is a bit unsettling, but she is worried about sharing the details with Caleb thinking he isn't ready for the news. But it actually may be her that isn't ready.......

This Book Continues Where It Left Off. I Love That The Characters Are Opening Up More And That They Have Become More Relate able And Likeable I Guess, Especially Caleb.
Caleb And Emma's Relationship Continued To Evolve And With Emma Becoming Of An Age Where She Feels She Needs To Start A Family And Settle Down, Things Get Very Interesting. The Ending Is Fantastic And The Writing Once Again Is Great. I Look Forward To The Next Part.

Emma Is So Frustrating
Emma needs therapy, and if I were her friend in real life, I would make her do some consultations. She keeps getting in her own way, and thankfully, Caleb is smart enough to ride her kids without too much fuss. That said, in this episode, the two lovers have to figure some deep stuff, out. The steam level seems lower than the first installment, but the storyline suffers nothing for it.
