Illusions we all create them.
For some it’s to project an impressive image to a prospective employer; for others it’s to attract the eye of another.
My illusion is a bit more...complicated.
Years in the making, my secret has the potential to bite me in the ass. And not in the way I typically enjoy.
Sex.
As women, we’re judged for reveling in the same carnal pleasures that men do, but I’ve never been shy about my voracious appetite.
Now, I’m under no illusions that I’ll find love with any of my one night stands.
After all, I have one rule
no repeats but it’s a rule that’s becoming harder to follow since Evan James came back into my life.
Did I say back into my life?
My name is Reagan Spencer, and you may think you know me, but...
How well do we really know anyone?


"...I lost my illusions in a black rain of bitterness -
now what do you see in my eyes?
How can you still love me?
How can I be tender..."
-John Geddes



This second part of Evan & Reagan's story is told from her POV.
She's telling us a lot about the past and about how she's falling for Evan... Even though that's not what she does. She doesn't do repeats and she doesn't fall in love. And especially not with someone who she's keeping secrets from. But she just can't get Evan out of her head.
Plus he's trying to get better with his sex addiction - he's seeing a therapist and tells Reagan all about the sessions.
But then the good doc tells him to go to a speed dating thing - to try something normal for once. And the night ends with ..... ☺ Not telling you.....


WHAT WiLL HAPPEN TO REAGAN & EVAN????
WiLL THERE BE A CHANCE OF A HAPPY EVER AFTER FOR THOSE TWO?
OR WiLL HiS ADDiCTiON AND HER SECRETS RUiN EVERYTHiNG???
WiLL THERE BE A CLiFFHANGER???




NOPE . . .
I'm not telling you

♥ Evan is back!!! Finally. Only he's not the one to tell us the story this time. It's Reagan's turn now and we learn soooo many new things. About the past and the families and what she's thinking and feeling.
There's not much sex in this little story - but what there is, is reallllly hot ☺
I really loved it - I finished it in under an hour :( I wish that once this 3-part serial is finished, that Ella & Brooke re-write it a bit and make it longer and turn it into a real full-length book!!!

Now I can't wait for the final book to arrive this coming spring. I need to know if all those secrets and addictions will stop our two darlings from finding their HEA with each other.



THE FANTASY Vol.2 was a really sexy and secret-revealing Novella!
You will sooo want for Evan & Reagan to get their HEA with each other!!!
You won't waste your money when you one-click it
☺☺☺


Now hurrrrry Vol. III  -  I NEED to know how the story of Evan & Reagan will end.

ARC received for an honest review


My man Evan James is back!  Only this time we get the story from Reagan's POV.

What a fantastic installment in this series.  I had so many questions after the first installment, I just HAD to know what was going on.

And while it answered some questions, it also brought up a whole lot more!

I loved the interaction between Reagan and Evan.  Kinda-sorta in the friend-zone, but sooooo much sexual tension between them.  The flirting and innuendo heats up as the story continues.

But there are secrets between the pair, and you know it is never good when there are secrets involved.

The only thing wrong with this installment?  It is too short!  Just as I was getting right into it - BAM, it ended!

And what an ending!  Now I am impatiently waiting for the last installment coming in a few months.

And then after that, I think that Ella and Brooke need to write a full length story for us, as I am really enjoying their writing together!

BROOKE BLAINE

You could say Brooke Blaine was a book-a-holic from the time she knew how to read; she used to tell her mother that curling up with one at 4 a.m. before elementary school was her ‘quiet time.’ Not much has changed except for the espresso I.V. pump she now carries around and the size of her onesie pajamas.

Her first solo novel, a romantic comedy, is due out in early 2015, but first, she thought she’d write a raunchy story with her best friend that would scar her conservative southern family for life.

If you’d like to get in touch with her, she’s easy to find - just keep an ear out for the Rick Astley ringtone that’s dominated her cell phone for ten years.
