He's a sexual dominant. She's sworn off sex. There's no way they can make a relationship work--or can they?

Virtuous, Quantum Series, Book 1
After surviving a traumatic event at age fifteen and the ensuing estrangement from her family, Natalie Bryant has worked for years to reinvent herself into the woman she is today--a happy teacher fresh out of college and enjoying her first winter in New York City with her faithful dog, Fluff, by her side. Natalie isn't expecting her life to change completely during a routine stroll through Greenwich Village on a blustery January day. But when Fluff breaks loose and charges into a park, Natalie gives chase and crashes into her destiny. Only after Fluff bites and draws blood from the man who accidentally knocked Natalie down does she realize Fluff has bitten the biggest movie star in the world.

He has no business being enthralled by the gorgeous, young, innocent teacher...
Natalie captivates Flynn Godfrey from the first moment their eyes meet while she is lying on the ground and he's fighting off her ferocious little beast of a dog. The only thing Flynn knows for certain is if he lets Natalie get away, he'll regret it for the rest of his life. After only a short time in her presence, Flynn is prepared to change who he is to be what she needs. He knows he's in big trouble when she says she won't sleep with him and he doesn't care if it means he gets to keep her in his life. But can he turn his back on the lifestyle that has defined him? Can he deny the desires that drive him to give Natalie the introduction to love and romance she so deserves? And most of all, can he keep his truth hidden from her long enough to have forever with her?

Join Flynn and Natalie in their three-part story: VIRTUOUS, VALOROUS and VICTORIOUS. From New York to Los Angeles, from Hollywood to Las Vegas, Flynn and Natalie's whirlwind love affair has it all--romance, passion, steamy hot sex, relentless paparazzi and a murder that could be their undoing. PLEASE NOTE: VIRTUOUS and VALOROUS contain cliffhangers before Flynn and Natalie's story concludes in VICTORIOUS.

If you hate dirty-talking heroes who put it all on the line for the women they love, who leave no desire unfulfilled, who will do anything it takes to protect what's theirs...If elements of BDSM make you queasy, if smoking hot sex isn't your thing, if cliffhangers make you rage, if you hate first-person points of view from the heroine AND the hero... this series is NOT for you! You've been warned...


Valorous, Quantum Series, Book 2
After crashing into her destiny, Natalie discovers destiny can be a double-edged
sword when it includes the biggest movie star in the world... Can Flynn and Natalie's

Book #1 Virtuous

Natalie (School Teacher) meet Flynn (Movie Star) the 2 literally run into each other and a relationship blossoms.

Flynn like the world of BDSM, Natalie has sworn off sex until marriage.

Can the 2 make a go of this relationship.

We get glimpses of Natalie’s past. Seeing the torment that haunts her and her feelings on sex in general. We see Natalie’s struggle to be a normal healthy woman in a loving and respected relationship with a patient and sweet man. We see Flynn struggle with trying to go slow with Natalie and not scare her away. Flynn struggles with his fantasies of tying Natalie up and dominating her but he know that world is no for her. Flynn is willing to give that part of himself up for Natalie.

After a weekend getaway all hell breaks loose and the couple must cope with Natalie’s past and what it means for their future together.

Natalie is strong, sweet, and guarded. Seeing more into her past you understand how she became the woman she is. Her guardedness is understood. Flynn can’t help the way he feels and is willing to do anything to protect her and keep her in his life.

Rating: 3 stars

This is a nice story but beware it is a TO BE CONTINUED…. So on to part 2 of the Quantum series.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valorous #2

To be honest I cannot remember where book #1 left off and #2 began. It is very seamless.

Flynn and Natalie become closer. Natalie is becoming more daring with Flynn now with their intimate part of the relationship. Hayden is concerned with Flynn not telling Natalie about his BDSM lifestyle and that Flynn is making a huge mistake. Flynn continues to hold back with Natalie not to scare her away. Flynn is willing to give up the BDSM lifestyle if Natalie cannot be part of it.

Flynn’s continued denial about his preferences will be the destruction of this lovely couple. Natalie has told Flynn her most intimate secrets and Flynn needs to come clean with Natalie before it explodes in his face.

Flynn’s secret is revealed and Natalie is not shocked but hurt because of the lies that he told her. If Flynn was honest when she asked him things would be different. Now the couple is tittering on the brink of breaking and Flynn will have to fight to keep Natalie in his life.

Natalie is right for taking time to wrap her head around the lie that Flynn told her. She understands way he did it but lying puts Natalie in a tough spot with Flynn.

Hopefully this couple will get through this as well.

Rating: 3 Stars
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victorious #3

After taking a very little amount of time to think over Flynn's secual preferences, Natalie is willing to try to be what Flynn wants. Flynn wants Natalie to want that lifestyle with him not be forced to like it for his happiness.

Natalie wants to be with Flynn more than anything so she is willing try things with Flynn that are out of her comfort zone but to be honest everything sexual is out of her comfort zone so she should embrace Flynn's knowledge of how to pleasure and please her and therefore pleasing himself.

After lots of intense sex scenes the couple go back to the real world and of course the book ends with Flynn and Natalie at an awards ceremony.

We will see more peeks of this couple I am sure in the continuation of the books in the Quantum series.

Rating: 3 Stars

Happy Reading!

First of all: my respect to all the Natalies in the world, to all the rape victims, female and male, who rise above what was done to them, and lead a fulfilles life, including a fulfilled sex life.

After surviving a traumatic event when she was fifteen, Natalie literally collides with famous Hollywood actor Flynn. They're so wrong for each other, but love does not care about that. A whirlwind romance follows, but then the papparazzi descend to try and find out who Natalies is and where she comes from. Will they discover the well buried secrets from her past?
Flynn realises that something happened to Natalie which made her swear off sex completely, and he knows he is the wrong man, especially in view of his secret dominant sexual cravings, but he is willing to change his complete life for her.
These first three books in the Quantum series deal with all the hardships Flynn and Natalie have to endure, and the obstacles to overcome.
I still think book #1 was too long, and the first two books could have been amalgamated, though I loved all three of them (and especially the third one).
Natalies fight to overcome her past and her inner demons are narrated with a lot of insight, respect, and - yes I will say it, with love. The same applies for Flynn's misgivings and his stumbling along in his quest to do what is right for the woman he loves.
Realistic and very likeable characters, a great plot, and absolutely brilliant storytelling made it difficult for me to put any of these three books out of my hands.
I need more and will definitely find more of this series.

Story itself was interesting, though it took all 3 books to bring it to a close.

If you are into the BDSM scene you will like this trio, the beginning of the Quantum series. If not advise you to skip them., just a fair warning.

I started this series because I love the author’s Fatal and First Family series and thought it would be in the same vein. It isn’t. It had interesting characters that made me want to know more about them, but not enough to go further. it was funny, because in the beginning of the story the woman goes on about how she changed her looks with hair dye and colored contacts. Those facts stood out and I kept wondering when the love interest was ever going to find out she wore contacts? I swear it took to the 3rd book before she told him, and by then they had moved in together.

Steamy Drama

Instalove to Relationship dual point of view
Not Standalone - each book picks up right where last left off
Natalie’s octogenarian dog bites Alist celebrity Flynn when she gets away from Natalie, disrupting a film shoot. Flynn chases Natalie and their obsession with each other threatens life long secrets each has.
The writing is good - I just had a hard time with the timeline, believing that Natalie could handle his secret like she did based on her past, I also had issues with the ages of the participants - she seems way older than stated and he seemed rather immature.

It is very good to read several books in the same series at a time, especially when the books are from the same couple.

Flynn and Natalie met unusually and he, one of Hollywood's biggest and most beloved actors, could not get away of this Girl, sweet and beautiful woman.

Flynn has a secret life and Natalie has a big and sad secret past, but they they can't get away and end up causing some turbulence in their relationship and their lives.

A beautiful story of love, a woman who has managed to overcome and become strong but sweet, who supports everything for love and is capable of any pain for the love of her life.

Wow

Yes the book had such a spectrum of a story. Young woman Natalie has hard to make a life for herself after she was sexually assaulted at 15. She helped but the man in jail, lost her family, and went to college. Now she is working as a teacher in MY City. The only thing from her old life she has her dog Fluff. She is out walk her when she gets away. When she catches her she runs into Flynn filming. He's a movie star and he helps her only to get bitten by the dog. What a way to start.

Holy smokes! These three books were insane. I absolutely devoured them though. I am not really into BDSM books much these days but was fascinated when I saw this set on Book Bub so I thought I would give it a try. I loved every bit of the stories. While there were some scenes I couldn't quite get into there were others that were absolutely amazing. I am glad I had all three books to read at one time or I would have gone insane waiting for the the next one to come out. Loved Natalie and Flynn's story and am excited to be moving on to other other stories in the series.

These stories have been sitting on my kindle for an embarrassingly long time. I finally decided to jump in, and I am SO GLAD I did. While it seems the sexual dominate meets woman not in the lifestyle thing has been done, Marie Force just does it differently. The story kept me turning the pages, I couldn't get enough of Natalie and Flynn. Yes, there is an element of BSDM, but it doesn't overpower the story. And, there's a dog <3.

I recommend Natalie and Flynn's story, and I cannot wait to see what's in store for the rest of the Quantum team.

A trio of stories that manage to keep the reader enthralled.

Natalie slams into the man who will change her life. Flynn is an actor on the rise who has zero interest in a serious relationship. Two people who really have nothing in common, different lifestyles, and are incredibly hot together.

The series runs through the highs and lows of their budding relationship. Can they survive the secrets they are keeping from each other?

Great read! I seriously couldn't put it down. Loved the characters and the dilemmas they encounter.

The hero is 33 going on 13, wasping endlessly about denying his dominant tendencies because they are so bad and dirty and ugly. After two weeks he marries the heroine, because she is the love of his life, planning on quitting all and everything BDSM for the rest of his life. Headdesk. This is guilty pleasure, FSoG trope kitsch. And I am not against that, I read this for pure escapism but I still want to have characters that somehow act their age. The BDSM is at best very soft, a few ribbons, a bit of anal sex (which is not BDSM) some tame spanking. D+

What a wild ride!
I’d had this series recommended to me more times than I can count, and I finally took the plunge. What the heck was I waiting for? This box set about Flynn and Natalie is everything! So amazingly emotional, with lots of sassy banter and some seriously sexy scenes. I basically quit adulting for 4 days while I read this, I couldn’t put it down! It had everything I love in a series!

Virtuous, Valorous, and Victorious are the first three books in the Quantum series and centers around Flynn and Natalie. They meet when she accidentally runs through the set, he is filming chasing her dog. It will start the beginning of a relationship between them that is filled with several emotional twit and turns followed by some unexpected events that keeps you glued to these thrilling stories to see how everything plays out!

I love this series !!!! I read this books very, very fast because page by page Marie sucks me in this story. I love the plot, characters and chemistry between them.

Love the Author -didn't love the book.

I got this book for free so I took it based on my high regard for this author. In the information before I downloaded it I was told the topic may be offensive but I like the Author so much I read it anyway. The basic story was interesting but the constant and unusual sex scenes were not enjoyable to me.

WOW!!

I've read the fatal series by Marie Force, as well as some of her other books, but this series. Wow, just Wow! The connection between Flynn & Nat is so over the top. I couldn't put it down. I needed to know how things ended for them. Now I need to continue on to find out what happens between Addie & Hayden.

The book went from good to okay by the end

I liked Natalie and Flynns story . Nathalie was hurt at young age I like How The two meet. But I was bored 75% through there was very little drama and the story sputtered out it soon became more about sex scenes then a good romance I was a little disappointed.

Amazing book

Wow! A beautifully written heartfelt story with some amazing characters with chemistry that is so special!! The story is so real and emotional at times it brought tears to my eyes. Some awesome humor adds some spark, and some BDSM scenes tastefully done adds some steamy sexy parts. I definitely recommend reading this book!

Natalie

A story of pain, rejection, struggle, courage and accomplishment gives you a look inside a strong, caring young teacher's life that is much to be admired. As always, Marie Force has done a great job of portraying a very difficult subject with seemingly read ease.
I you prefer "clean" romance, consider choosing the other, more acceptable versions of books 1-6.

Hot series


I liked the trilogy but third book found it dragged too long and the sex very repetitive too much if it and not enough drama. Too erotic for my liking. It could've been so much better but I got this for free so can't complain

Loved them!

This story touches on a very serious issue something that I've gone through myself. It took me a long time to figure out that I'm not a victim I'm a rape survivor and that's what Natalie is. I love these books and I totally recommend them.

Totally hot

Typically, I don’t read this type of series, but Marie Force deserves her bestseller status. Natalie, Flynn, and the entire cast of this three book set I just read were very well developed. The plot was tense, and the wrap up was satisfying.

Quite enjoyable read, however I think that this tale could have been reduced to maybe 2 books (there is a lot of repetition).
Overall I enjoyed this part of the series and will go on to read further books about other characters contained with in these starting books.
