Title: Crave
Author: BJ Harvey
Genre: Erotic Suspense
Release Date: October 20, 2015
I have a craving.
A dark urge I’ve failed to resist despite years of trying to do that very thing.
I’ve forced myself to hide behind a mask, a perfect orchestration to hide my true self.
After I met her, my wants and needs, my inner most desires changed.
She encouraged me to embrace who I truly am, and she was willing to do anything and everything I wanted, giving herself to satisfy my most carnal appetite.
Then everything in my carefully managed world came crashing down around me. A moment in time, a loss of control, and the very thing I cherish was nearly taken from me.
My fate now lies in her hands.
The very life I’ve built for myself…everything I’ve ever done now waits in purgatory, all caused by a lack of focus at a time when my most concentrated attention was needed.
The very thing I crave may now be the end of me.
ARC received for an honest review
Crave has been a long while coming, but man oh man, is it worth every second of the wait.
Callum Alexander - women want him. Men want to be him. But they don't see the man behind the facade.
He has been the man they want him to be for so long that he doesn't know how to be any different.
Until her. Until Lucia.
Can I just say right not - I freaking LOVE Lucia - Luce.
From the minute we met her, I couldn't help be adore her to bits. You can just tell she is a bit mischievous. Sassy and sweet. A lot of fun.
And you just know that she is going to be the best thing to ever happen to Callum.
"This woman is both my sin and my
salvation. One look at the desperate need in her eyes has me wanting to
drop to my knees in worship."
The more we got to know our lovelies, the more I wanted, no needed to know more. Sometimes we can get bogged down with too many details about characters, but it was the completed opposite. I craved every single morsel that Ms Harvey gave us.
There is a bit of mystery through Crave too. Someone is sabotaging Callum's company, there is a nuisance reporter hounding his every move,. I had an idea of who was behind things, but were they? I was surprised as things were revealed.
My heart clenched as Callum's dark cravings came out to play. We already know he's a naughty boy, but there was a couple of WTF moments to be had!
"I'm the ultimate sinner. A
conceited man who took what was offered without any forethought given to the
rise or the wide-reaching effects of the act itself."
I also LOVED Callum's best friend and business partner Grant. We NEEEEEED more of him - STAT!
Ms Harvey takes us on one heck of a ride with Crave. The highs, the lows, the laughter and the sadness. I hope we get more of them in the future.
And please - can we have a book for Grant. Pretty please with a cherry on top Ms Harvey. I am not too ashamed to bribe you with Cadbury's!!
Excerpt
My deepest fear is that my attempt at normalcy with Lucia will put both of us at risk. There is something about her that makes me want to get to know her, be close with her, something beyond the physical connection we have, the intensity of which still has me unsettled and uncertain.
I can’t seem to stay away; I don’t think I want to anymore.
There’s something about her that has me conflicted in the worst possible way. The fantasy of being inside her again, of making her scream in pleasure by my hands always seems to morph into darker thoughts—more sordid depraved contemplations that I have no place in imagining.
Stepping out of the shower, I wrap a towel around my waist and walk to my closet. I’ve come to the realization that although I want her close, I have to tread lightly.
It’s the best way for the both of us.
