In the “exceptionally hot” (USA Today) Because You Are Mine, Beth Kery redefined what’s possible, what’s desirable, and what’s forbidden between a man and a woman. It’s time to go further...

When enigmatic billionaire Ian Noble sets Lin the task of “taming” his brilliant yet half-savage brother Kam Reardon, she eagerly accepts. She’s more than curious about the solitary genius and everything she’s heard about him. During their electric first meeting, her fascination increases a hundredfold. Kam practically oozes raw sex appeal. Lin is interested...very interested. But does her intense attraction and willingness to go places with him she’s never gone before in the bedroom really have to do with Kam? Or is her carefully hidden desire to blame for wanting a man she knows she can never have?

An elusive outsider, Kam avoids intimacy, yet never shies away from satisfying his erotic appetites. But there’s something different about Lin—a reserve he’s anxious to break. She’s a woman he’s eager to take his time with…and possess completely. A sophisticated beauty like her would never want him anywhere but in bed, but he finds himself unable to resist her.

Immediately Lin’s smooth facade is undone by Kam’s overwhelming masculinity and by his irresistible erotic demands—a lesson in subjugation that leaves Lin confused, reeling, and open to things she never thought possible. Now, as the unpredictable nights between them grow darker, Lin and Kam are certain of only one thing: they’re made for each other.

Review

Kery’s talent of writing delicious erotic scenes is ever present in her latest book.

Yet, for me there was something missing… the story didn’t lodge itself in my memory. I enjoyed the read, though after about the fifth sex scene, I’ll admit, I started skimming. This book seemed to have more an erotic bent then a romance. The sex scenes dominating the page and in 352 pages that’s a lot of sex.

As I sat down to write the review, and tried to recall the characters my mind drew a complete blank. This tells me the book didn’t inspire me much to stay with me after the reading. That being said if you like dominant, alpha males and the women who need to be unlocked or freed by them this book will appeal to you.

After re-acquainting myself with the backcover blurb  I remembered enjoying the tension between two people who were trying to be something they weren’t and opening up with each other. The characters are smart, sassy, sexy, and very feisty. The straight laced, business woman in contact with the extremely dominant inventor… this appealed to the ‘geeky is so sexy’ fetish I have.

No doubt readers who’ve been following the Because You Are Mine series will be happy to see Ian Noble’s right-hand woman, Lin, finally getting her HEA. Overall, I recommend this book to hardcore Kery fans or those who enjoy a little more sex then story.
