Sexual addiction, exhibitionism, and voyeurism… Three best friends, three different wickedly delicious sexual needs. Lose your inhibitions and get ready for a wildly sexy ride…
Always Wanting Abigail Summers is addicted to sex. Not by choice, but by her body’s demands. If she doesn’t have sex at least once a day, her body is wracked with unbearable withdraws. It’s not a lifestyle she chose for herself. When Colt Maverick walks into her life with his beautiful blue eyes, sexy as sin body, and possessive nature, she craves something more. Will he be enough to satisfy her insatiable desires?
Bare Yourself Meet Teagan Zanders; fun-loving, sexy, and an exhibitionist. He enjoys having someone watch while he and his partners are giving and receiving pleasure. To him, it’s the ultimate high and extremely arousing. He’s never been tempted to settle down with one woman. That is, until he meets Willow Bennett. Now all he can think about is showing her just how good it could be if she lost her inhibitions and let him put her on display.
Watching Mine Nathan is a watcher. There’s nothing more erotic than seeing desire on people’s faces as they writhe in pleasure or when their bodies tighten as they balance on the edge of ecstasy. He’s a loner, preferring to stay on the outside looking in. But from the first time he watched the woman in the apartment across from his, he knew she was different. She teases him with her soft touches and silent moans. Once he has her, there’s no way he’ll ever go back to simply watching.

We are starting off by staying, this is a first time author for us, and we thoroughly enjoyed our first read by her. I have read a lot of erotica books but, not one that dealt with issues of sexual addictions, so this plot was something new for us and a nice change to read something different.
I really enjoyed the characters that I read about. Not only that, but I thought they were fun, humorous, had amazing sexual chemistry and both had a great group of friends, adding even more humor to the story that had a more serious story line. I loved all the side characters as well as some of those characters dealt with the same issues as Tegan did whether it was from sexual abusive to a sexual addition. They were all supportive of one another and open about their own additions making it easy to talk among themselves, I liked that they had an ear to bend when one needed one as they understood what they were going through and could relate.
OMG from the very first pages this couple started setting the pages on fire making it a super hot read. I never really expected this couple to hook up and stay that way. I expected a one-night stand and nothing more, due to the demands and needs that Tegan needed to find sexual gratification. Tegan was into voyeurism and public displays when having sex, and this was something he needed to do in order to find fulfillment. Now, how do you find a partner into the same kind of sex you are?
I always pick a favorite character and this time around it was a really tough choice, but I am going to pick Tegan. I picked him because he was just and fun and love able guy but, the main reason is I was attracted to him because he was very open about his addiction and his needs and also with his childhood sexual abuse. Tegan certainly had hang-ups about sex but, the abuse itself never broke him, he just learned to deal with it and moved on. Another reason is that he continued to see to his dying mother, even though it was her that lead to the abuse to happen in the first place. My heart went out to Tegan as I could not even fathom the kind of emotions he must have been experiencing just by being in the same room with his mother. The author did an amazing job allowing you to experience all these emotions as well, creating heartbreak for us too. This man was sexy as hell. He definitely made a girl's panties wet just by looking at you. Tegan just dripped with sex appeal. OMG ! Can't you say he set fire to my blood as well ! I loved his playful banter. I loved how he pushed the limits with Willow without putting her in danger. Not only that, but I love how he found himself possessive of Willow, a first for him, and how uncomfortable it made him feel. It was nice seeing him out of his comfort zone. Willow actually made him feel things without just going through the motions.
I loved Willow as well. I really liked the fact that this couple had amazing chemistry together and that Willow was willing to push the limits as well. Furthermore, I liked that fact that she was open-minded. I like that fact that she didn't run off as soon as she heard what sexual kinks Tegan had, and was willing to at least try new things. I think that Willow needed someone like Tegan to push her out of her own sexual comfort zone, and by doing so, she was experiencing the best sex of her life. Some of Tegan's and Willow's sexual encounters set flames to the pages, along with scorching the sheets as well. I love how this couple made sex fun and exciting as well as adventurous. They were such a cute couple together.
My favorite scenes would have to be those that happened at Blackie's. I really think this bar had a helping hand in their relationship as they were able to explore each other in a safe environment along with getting off on the need for voyeurism as the bar tended to attract those with similar tastes. I especially loved that single unexpected moment when he asked her to be his. What an unexpected twist that had that OMG factor that I never saw coming. It had me laughing out loud. Did he really just do that ? For real?
Overall, one super hot read. Can you say fanning myself more than once? I loved all the character's as well, with their wacky personalities adding that bit of extra humor to the story. I loved the plot and those unexpected twists and turns that occurred. Likewise, I enjoyed seeing new relationships foraged as well as putting ghosts to rest. I loved that both of the main character's had amazing personalities, which made me even more drawn to them and able to connect with them. A compelling read that kept your interest and blood pressure up from the couple's very first encounter, along with several of those unexpected OMG moments. I loved this story from beginning to end.
Recommend read to all looking forward to reading this first book in its series. This book goes into the keeper pile to re-read again and again. A well done, delightful story.
Arc provided from author for an honest review, and we are giving this story 5 stars. Well done!
Watching Mine
This was another great read in this continuing series.I have to say that I really love this author's writing. I was glued to the story from the very first pages and never put the book down until I was finished it. This was one hot as hell read!
The sparks and the chemistry and those sizzling dark looks were evident from the moment their eyes met. Emberleigh and Nathan's chemistry was off the charts and if you were standing in a room with them, you could feel the heat up close and personal. There is a secret each one is holding back from voicing but, what neither realizes is that they have been doing a sensual dance between them for some time now.
I loved the characters from the onset of the story, as they both were easy to like and love. I have to mention that I love the other characters in this series as well, and that I love the amazing relationship that they have with one another. Since their first meeting, they were fast friends who shared similar sexual desires and play together when the need arises and are able to play with those they trust.
Emberleigh turned out to be my favorite character. I just loved how she just let her sexual inhibitions go when she knew someone was watching. I love how she was willing to explore a side of herself she never knew existed, a little bit at a time. She never really thought she would enjoy, but, realized it only enhanced her own sexual desires. And with the past she has had to overcome, to put that much in a man she barely knows was a huge stepping stone for her. I found her to be sexy as sin, love-able, bright, loving, sensual as well as sexual, and you got to love her for the scarifies she has made on behalf of another.
Nathan OMG! That man was hot as hell!. Voyeurism was his kink! That man was sex on a stick for sure and someone to definitely make a girl's panties wet just by staring right into those smoldering dark eyes of his. I loved the heat he created when with Emberleigh, and most of all loved the possessiveness she brought out in him. This was definitely a first for this player. How the mighty fall...LOL If I wasn't half in love with Nathan myself already when we learned Emberleigh's secrets, and he stood by her, I would have been right then and there from that moment on. That man melted my heart !
We loved this sizzling read from cover to cover, and this was one highly erotic read that has you fanning yourself more than once throughout this story.
HOT HOT HOT
A recommended read to all, as well as the other books in this series. This author writes great erotica reads and is one of my go-to authors when I am in for one really hot and scorching read. This story moves to the keeper pile.
Well Done!
Abby and Colt Aka Blue
This was an emotional touching story and was also super hot, and I mean hot. Abby is suffering from a sexual addition and if she doesn't get a man to give her release daily she becomes physically sick and mean deadly sick, so her life definitely revolves around picking up men to satisfy her need nightly but, until Colt/ Blue comes along and changes all that.
Blue/Colt and Abby had some major chemistry and were super hot together. Their relationship was unusual l and highly sexual but, it was also filled with passion and love and understanding. The story was also filled with a ton of emotion and took you on one heck of an emotional roller coaster right along with Abby herself.
I loved the characters right off the bat, they were easy to love and intriguing and passionate and fun. Colt was my favorite in it was kind of hard not to love the man he was kind and understanding and I loved the fact he wasn't turned off by Abby's addition but, wanting to help sooth or even cure her to make her situation a lot better to cope with. You have to love her friends as well, as their love and understanding and friendship they have is astounding.
Overall, we loved this hot read with amazing character's from cover to cover. It was a series that was memorable and will definitely be reading over and over. We just love this author, she gives us an amazing reads each and every time she creates and new story for us to fall in love with her characters each and every time.
This series is SO GOOD! When you first hop in to it as a reader you are a like "whoa, just throwing me all the way in huh?!" Then you get to know this group of friends that are fiercely loyal to each other and have a beautiful friendship. Yes this book is about a group of friends that met during their sex addicts group therapy, but the books are not vulgar, just super steamy and include a LOT of heart!
Always Wanting Poor freaking Abby is addicted to sex. Literally if she does not get it when the need strikes (usually once a day) she goes into intense physical withdrawals. Can you imagine this happening for 8 years and knowing that she could not have a relationship or a family because she might not be able to control herself from cheating/needing? That hurts MY heart thinking about. But then she meets Colt. This guy, holy freaking smokes. He is so freaking intense and good and alpha and smoldering and just erhmygawd! Needless to say you should check out this book!
Bare Yourself Teagan likes being an exhibitionist. He gets off and knowing that other people can see him pleasuring himself and/or someone else. Making someone else want as much as he is, my gosh even thinking about that is super hot stuff. He is charming, flighty, and a little of a manwhore but a good guy. Then he meets Willow on the side of the road and she just lights him on fire. These two just GET each other and have a connection that is freaking beautiful to read about. Obviously the book is super freaking hot with the sex scenes, but man Alex Grayson I think that the soul of the book is even better than the sex which SAYS A FREAKING LOT!
Watching Mine FINALLY we get Nathan. He is the strong silent, gruff one of the group and he likes to watch. A lot. He especially likes to watch his neighbor 9B. We knew this in the other books, but y'all didn't freaking know how much that it effected him. Until he actually met her face to face and she SAW him watching her at a club. She has secrets, so does he. What happens when they all come out? My freaking gosh this book was just as good as the others, if not better with the story line!
All in all, read this series. It is freaking panty scorchin' hot but the underlying theme and the connection with the characters is a-freaking-mazing! I cannot give enough stars to this collection!
Thank you to Enticing Journey Book Promotions and Alex Grayson for allowing me an advanced copy! This is my honest review and I freaking loved it!
This series is HOT! There are three best friends with different fetishes connected to the same base desire. Abigail with the sex addiction and Colt being the one to sate her desires in Always Wanting. Teagan the sexy, exhibitionist and Willow his target in Bare Yourself. In Watching Mine, Nathan watches the woman in the apartment across from him every Tuesday. He can't resist Emberleigh when he sees her in the club. Will the two get together? Get ready for a steamy ride when you read these stories.
Always Wanting by Alex Grayson Abby Summers is a sex addict and needs to have sex on a daily basis or she gets in extreme pain and has trouble functioning. She was in a support group but found it didn’t do anything so she and her close friends Nathan and Tegan formed their own informal one with support from Abby’s best friend Ava. Abby finds it difficult to get close to anyone with her addiction as she knows people judge her and have no idea what she goes through. Colt Maverick is attracted to Abby the moment he meets her but is somewhat surprised when she kicks him out after a night together. Yet Abby can’t get too far away from him when she discovers his niece attends the daycare she works at. With Colt wanting a relationship with Abby will she try and keep him at a distance, so he doesn’t find out her dark secret? Alex Grayson is one of those authors that I love to read as nothing is ever the same and this book is no exception! I really wasn’t sure what I was even getting into at the beginning as I need to read books by Alex but this one did not disappoint. Abby is such an interesting character as I personally have no idea what she is going through but when she tried to abstain she was in so much pain. I found it sad though that she had detached herself so much from sex in order to have so many random partners and only turning to one of two people if she was absolutely desperate and couldn’t find a hookup. I thought Colt was a great character and I wanted him to be the one to help Abby but I could tell right from the beginning how jealous and possessive he was and I knew that would not be good. He had his own family issues but I knew he would do whatever he could to help Abby but I knew there was bound to be a slip up somewhere. There was so much chemistry between Colt and Abby was intense and it was obvious that the sex between them was amazing for both of them! I think that’s why Colt was so shocked and hurt after the first time and Abby making him leave and being so cold to him. I laughed so hard when Abby saw him again and figured out who he was. I was shocked at how stubborn Colt was with Abby and how he kept refusing to let her go as he didn’t want to give up on them. I understood why Abby felt like she had no choice. I liked seeing the two of them work out a plan and try and figure out some sort of compromises in certain situations. The ending was awesome and made me so happy!! I’m really looking forward to the next book in the series! 4 Stars
Bare Yourself by Alex Grayson Tegan Zander likes to have people watch him have sex. It excites him to see someone else enjoying what he is partaking in but it’s not always easy to find the right girl. Tegan had a very difficult upbringing and his mom is currently dying. When he helps Brandy fix a tire along side of the road he is attracted to her but she unfortunately drives away before he can get her number. Willow Bennett has decided to move closer to her best friend Minnie after the death of her mom and to somewhat escape her brother Bryan who is addicted to drugs and falling apart. When she breaks down on the side of the road she is hoping someone will help her get on her way before her brother finds her. When Tegan and Willow unexpectedly meet up at a bar sparks fly and Tegan can see that Willow is enjoying all of the “extra” attention she is getting. But can Willow handle the full extent of Tegan’s addiction? Can Willow deal with her own past and brother Bryan before his addiction becomes Willow’s downfall? This was such a good book and definitely deals with some sensitive subjects. I found Tegan a little intriguing and I was curious to see how it was all going to pan out with meeting the right girl. I liked that it wasn’t all that I thought it was going to be and sometimes it would be more public than other times. I enjoyed the “subtle” things that he did but I liked when he stared at the people watching. My heart completely broke for what he went through as a child which 100% contributed to where he was now. I was totally shocked and horrified and what his mom allowed to happen, even of she was scared. Willow was a great character who was dealing with her own issues and the spiraling addiction of her brother Bryan. Willow was worried what he would do to her if she wouldn’t give him what he wanted and that worried her. She was instantly attracted to Tegan and they shared so much chemistry. I really liked Tegan and Willow together and they had so much chemistry and surprisingly really enjoyed the thrill of being watched. There were times I wondered if they would get caught and only had one really close call! I also liked how protective Tegan was over Willow almost instantly. There was nothing that he wouldn’t do to protect her. I was slightly surprised at Willow’s actions at the end of the book with Bryan but at the same time it was her brother and she wanted to believe there was good left in him. The letter at the end was heartbreaking but it still didn’t excuse the past. My heart broke for Tegan again as none of that should ever have happened. A great book and looking forward to the next one. 4 Stars
Watching Mine by Alex Grayson
Nathan Reines has been watching the girl in apartment 9B every Tuesday night for the past two years. He never misses a Tuesday night but when he sees his mysterious woman at the club he doesn't know if he can stay away.
Emberleigh is working hard to become a nurse and when she goes out to a club one night she can see Nathan staring at her.
Given the opportunity will Nathan do more than just watch Emberleigh? What will happen when Emberleigh discovers what Nathan has been hiding?
This was an interesting book that dealt with voyeurism and pushing the boundaries in some sexual situations.
Nathan was a take charge kind of guy and it was interesting to me that he didn't know more about who was in apartment 9B given that he owned his own security firm. He was definitely into voyeurism and I found his group of friends very unique with each having their own "quirks".
I really liked Emberleigh and I was sad with what happened to her in the past and I was glad that she was able to overcome everything. I was kind of surprised at what she was willing to let Nathan do to her given her past.
I thought the twist at the very end was great and I wasn't expecting it but in a way it was almost anti-climatic as I was expecting more of a blow up.
Spoiler alert, all of these short stories deal with some pretty heavy stuff but the 3rd story in this feeling like it’s almost pushing an anti-abortion agenda. The FMC talks about how she couldn’t cope with the death of her brother as a teenager (14) and turned to meth of all drugs and was raped by a group of older boys. She then found out she was pregnant and wanted to have an abortion (because again, she’s 14) and her parents wouldn’t give her permission and said ‘she’d regret it’. I’m sorry I couldn’t read on after that, I was about 79% in and I couldn’t go on. Especially because they’ve been pushing the barbie that she loves the kid and agrees with the parents years later. No thanks.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I received a copy of this book from the publsiher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
This is the complete Consumed Series form Alex Grayson.
Always Wanting Abigail Summers is addicted to sex. Not by coice but by her body's demands. If she doesn't have sex at leason once a day, her body is wracked with unbearable withdrawls. It's not a lifestyle she chose for herself. When Colt Maverick walks inot herlife with his beautiful blue eyesx sexy as sin body, and possessive nature, she craves something more. Will he be enough to satisfy her insatiable desires?
Wow this story was so good. This is the story of Abigail Summer who has a sex additction. Becasue of this she tends to use men as just a means to feed her addiction. She never has a emotional connection with anyone that she has sex with. However when Colt Maverick walks into her life she can't help but to right away notice him. However differenct he seems that doesn't seem to matter to Abbys' body. It just knows what it wants and needs to not go into withdrawals. Colt however wants things with Abby that she knows will never work. Or could he be the one to finlly keep her attention, keep her addciton somewhat fed and portect her? Well you have to read that to find out. These characters were amazing and I fell so in love with them. This story will keep you hooked from the first page. It was amazing and I loved every second of it.
Bare Yourself Meet Tegan Zanders; Fun-loving, sexy, and an exhibitionist. He enjoys having someone watch while he and his partners are giving and receiving pleasure. To him, it's the ultimate high and extremely arousing. He's never been tempted to settle down with one woman. That is, until he meets Willow Bennett. Now all he can th ink about is showing her just how good it could be if she lost her inhibitions and let him put her on display.
You are going to be so hooked on this story from the very moment you start reading it. Willow and Teagan have some of the most amazing, melt your kindle chemistry that I have read about in a good while. Tegan is a exhibitionist. To say he loves for people to watch him is a understatment. He gets as much pleasure off knowing that people are watching him as he does from his partners. He has no desire to settle down and do the relationship thing. However when he meets Willow all that changes. He wants to be a better everything for her and no one has ever made him feel that way before. Will these two be able to make a go of it or is Teagan destined to go back to his exhibitionist ways? You have to read and find out. I'm not going to tell you. I will tell you that I loved this story and the charactes and was so sad when my time with them was over. This book was amazing.
Watching Mine Nathan is a watcher. There's nothing more erotic than seeing desire on people's faces as they wwrithe in pleasure or when their bodies tighten as they balance on the edge of ecstasy. He's a loner, preferring to stay on the outside lookin in. But from the first time he watched the woman in the apartment across from his, he knew she was different. She teases him with her soft touches and silent moans. Once he has her, there's no way he'll ever go back to simply watching.
I am going to go ahead and warn you that once you start this book you are not going to be able to put it down. This story is smoking hot and I am surprised my kindle didn't melt in my very hands. I fell so in love with Nathan. I don't know what it is about him but your going to fall in love with him too. Emberleigh though has been through some very tramatic things in live, but she really has her life together. However when she and Ethan get together they are explosive. This book was so good. Just read it and you will see what I mean.
I really loved this series. I could not put it down. Each story is as good as the other and Alex Grayson really blows me away. She has this way of sucking you into a story so hard that you never want to leave the world that she has created. You don't want to miss this chance to read all three books in one collection. Its amazing. I could say that a million times abou this one and Alex Grayson.
Alex Grayson is one of those authors that I love to read as nothing is ever the same and this book is no exception! I really wasn’t sure what I was even getting into at the beginning as I need to read books by Alex but this one did not disappoint.

Three stories Four friends Different needs - Different desires Same base addiction Grayson delivers three very different yet connected stories. Each story provided me with an emotional journey that at times had me laughing other times quite a bit angry and even some moments that prompted those ugly silent tears. I do suggest paying attention to the little details as there are some twists and surprises they give clues to. Each character is well written and their individual stories will tug at your heart ~ They also at times might cause flushing of the skin and sudden dampness 😉
Abby pissed me off a bit at times. If she is going to dish it out then she should be a bit more 'accepting ' when the favor is returned. I know I may seem a bit critical with her but something about her just ugh!! She was such a great person and I felt even with her disease she was selling herself short. The choice was hers so woman up. She eventually endeared herself to me but it took a bit. Blue ( liked the nickname) can feed my addiction anytime. He was doing all the right things, IMO at times for all the wrong people. I admit he was a bit judgmental when he first saw Abby but he was an outsider looking in at only able to see part of the picture while at the same time dealing with a situation he felt ill towards but had no control over.
Tegan and Willow dominate in the next book. I may have enjoyed this one a bit more. Willow and Tegan had such a 'unique ' dynamic between them. Tegans character was so vibrant he called to me on an emotional level. Underneath all the laughter he was very vulnerable. This one gets a bit emotional
Last Nathan... Okay, the boy has his eyes on everything! And everything on display. Smart, a very observant man with a dominant personality. I liked the little surprise this story rounded out with. I had a bit of trouble with Embreleigh, not sure why just didn't connect. Her character was well written and the chemistry between her and Nathan HOLY HOT Peppers
The Consumed Series Box Set by Alex Grayson contains all three books in this series, Always Wanting, Bare Yourself and Watching Mine. Always Wanting is the introduction to Abby, Nathan, Tegan and Ava. All of them have issues and secret kinks. This is Abigail and Colt's story. Abigail suffers from hypersexual disorder and her life is ruled by it. When she meets Colt it seems impossible to develop and healthy relationship. Always Wanting is a gripping story. 4,5 Stars. Bare Yourself by Alex Grayson is the second installment in the Consumed Series. Bare Yourself can easily be read as a stand alone. The are only a few cross-over. Warning : This book deals with some difficult matter.
Meet Tegan Zander, he doesn´t do relationships, until Willow Bennett crosses his way. He changes a flat tire and thinks he´ll never see her again. But fate has other plans. Tegan has invisible scars and deep issues. There are ugly truths and abuse. And there is love and a beautiful well deserved HEA. And there is scorching hot out of the world hot sex. I had difficulties reading this book. Sometimes I had to put it down and take a breather. But the characters are well thought out and well written.
Watching Mine by Alex Grayson is a full length novel. This book did a number on me. Watching Mine is Nathan and Emberleigh´s book. Nathan is a voyeur, literally. He´s head of Reines Security and never wanted a relationship. Emberleigh is student and has dispatching job. She carries a shameful secret of her own. While both have baggae, they work through their issues - kinky tuesdays are their thing-. And they get a beautiful HEA. I liked the wwriting and the story and I loved the characters. I was captivated from the beginning and give 4 stars.

All three of these are loosely connected and could have been read as standalones, but they are so awesome to be bundled into a box set. There were some tough topics in these books and they were super steamy.

Warning: enter at your own risk. Expect steamy scenes, taboo topics and situations that you might have to get a fan on you because some of the scenes are so hot! It is not for the faint of heart romance readers. Reading by yourself is advised!!
This series will rock your socks off! I loved how she took these “problems” and made the people find exactly what they were looking for. I was instantly captivated from the beginning, between each story set, to the very last amazingly hot book. Alex Grayson has been one of my faves but she just hit a home run with this one. It will melt your heart and help you see it’s ok to be different. Also, keep your friends close and learn how to help and get close to them. They will always come through in tough times no matter what.
These characters have struggles and were very real. I loved the support, witty comments and support they showed for each other. They were family and family always works together.
This series is full of taboo topics written in a realistic way that any reader could imagine life in the shoes of these characters. Ms. Grayson has brought three stories full of honesty, angst and an intensity so strong you feel it in every word and exchange these characters have, be it with their love interest or their closest friends. I adored each and every character and loved being able to read all three books immediately (I love to binge) in one set since the bond and connection Abby, Teagan and Nathan all have to one another is such an instrumental part of each of their stories in different parts of their journey. Of course be ready for some dark moments and struggles, as well as more taboo topics, it is really what makes Ms. Grayson and her stories some of my favorites and they will be yours as well!
I love this series! Abby is addicted to sex well not on purpose but if she doesn’t have sex she’s in so much pain she can’t function. Abby meets Colt and her world maybe can change or is it just like every other random partner? Teagan likes people to watch him have sex. Teagan meets Willow and can he show her how sexy it is to be watched? Teagan is one funny sexy guy! Last but not least we have Nathan. Nathan has been watching his neighbor for years it turns him on. Then actually meeting Emberleigh can Nathan tell her his secret? My favorite story of all 3 I would have to say is Nathan the quite sexy guy that would do anything for his friends and loves hard. All 3 have there addictions and each one is unique and sexy at the same time but I’m glad the each found their one! 5/5 stars
WOW!! Just WOW!! I don't know where to begin!! This series is HOT!! Each book in this series is absolutely AMAZING the storylines are well written and the characters are fantastic!! I was hooked right from the beginning all the way to the end and read all three stories in one sitting!! Yes, the characters met during their sex addicts group but that's what made them the strong, loving group of friends they are now!! Each book in this series is HOT and very steamy!! They are emotional, intense and a little dirty!! I also loved how strong their bond as friends was!! I highly recommend this book you will not be sorry!! If it was possible to give more than five stars this book would deserve them!!
Holy Hotness...this is one hell of the HOTTEST series that I've read to date. This was the hottest of hot, the dirtiest of dirty, and the sinful of sin reads. I loved every freaking minute of this series. This series consumed me from the very beginning til the very end. Gosh....all three of these stories brings something different to the series and yet they all as good as the other. I don't know that I can pick just one as a favorite. A little bit of a warning ladies.... crank up the ac when reading this one because it is guaranteed to make you HOT!!!
This series filled a void in me I hadn't realized was there. I read plenty or dark/forbidden romances where kinks like threesomes, spanking, and delayed pleasure are front and center, but Grayson gives us the kinks we NEED + sexual addiction (honest moment: not sure on the accuracy of that portrayal, but romance novels are fiction). Exhibitionism & voyeurism are what the dark romance arena needs MORE of. It's a great series for those who want to explore kinks, possessive men & willing women.
This books is captivating from just the first sentence! It is unusual circumstances that you don't read in other romance books. Watching the way these 4 friends find their HEA is mesmerizing. The only thing I would have wanted is a fourth book, so I could get the whole story of Ava's HEA. This is definitely going to be a book that I reread in the future!
This series❤️❤️❤️ A very high emotion and intense read. These characters bring life to a book that will melt your heart and keep you glue to the storyline. Colt and Abby are the perfect pair. Tehran and willow and Nathan and Emberleigh round out this series very nicely. Excellent writing. Awesome series.
Alex Grayson has put the Condemned series in a box set! This is one heck of a read. I highly suggest you like different kinks and personalities, and that you are ready to he taken on a journey of epic proportions! This books will have you needing air conditioning and probably a change of clothes. Absolutely on fire sizzling hot,but with depth as well. Perfect combination for a series!

This Series will make your kindle melt, wishing for it to never end. All the Stories in this amazing series are full of taboo, forbidden, beautifully written words which you fall in love with.
I Absolutely Loved reading this Series. It Consumed me and I Never wanted to end.
Really loved the series, just wanted to know if Ava's story will be written because just like Nathan, Abby and Tegan she has such a strong personality and deserves her own story so pls when will it be out?
