Great book about a loving couple that starts to see cracks because of misunderstanding and lack of communication between the two. Professor Dean West met his wife while he was working at the University of Wisconsin. There at the front office he meets the one that captures his heart, Olivia Winters.
Liv has had a rough childhood growing up with a mom that was never there to care or protect her. Being told on a daily basis that she was a mistake, it’s hard to live down that. With Dean she feels at ...more

“Since the day we met, I haven’t wanted anyone but you, never looked at another woman, never thought about one. It’s always been you Olivia.”
This is not your usual romance. I've seen a lot of talk about Arouse on Goodreads and Facebook. I was intrigued so I decided to pick it up. I was not disappointed.
Arouse was unique in that it started with an already married couple. There was no chase, no dating, no breaking up only to get back together. This was a story about a married couple who met, fel ...more

It's finally done!
I could not get into this book. I did not like the character development and the many holes that were left wide open. Supposedly Liv had a terrible childhood but what was described throughout the book doesn't qualify as the terrible. And where the hell do the panic attacks come from that make Dean the Knight in Shining Armour? You don't know because it must be one of the many holes. I will not buy the next book to try to fIll the holes because this one bored me to tears. ...more

Well that was different. A married couple romance. This couple has spark and intensity and a strong connection and they are hot!! When doubt enters their relationship it splinters their bond into a big chasm. Very realistic. It could happen to any of us. Kind of depressing in a way but very well told. On to Allure.
