About this ebook

In the bestselling style of Fifty Shades of Grey, Lisa Renee Jones delivers sexy thrills and heart-pounding sensuality with a tantalizing page-turner in which the eyes of a high school English teacher are opened to a world she never knew existed, and she finds a passionate craving within that she never knew she possessed.

The journal comes to Sara McMillan by chance, when she inherits the key to an abandoned storage locker belonging to a woman named Rebecca. Sara can’t resist peeking at the entries inside . . . and finds a scintillating account of Rebecca’s affair with an unnamed lover, a relationship drenched in ecstasy and wrapped in dark secrets.

Obsessed with discovering Rebecca’s destiny after the entries come to an abrupt end, Sara does more than observe the players in the woman’s life; she immerses herself in the high-stakes art gallery world Rebecca inhabited—and is magnetically drawn to two men. Which one seduced Rebecca with his masterful and commanding touch and brought her fantasies to exquisite life? On a daringly erotic escapade, Sara follows Rebecca’s path to fulfill her own hidden longings. But after she tastes the forbidden pleasures Rebecca savored, will Sara be helpless to escape the same submissive fate?

Ratings and reviews

I have read a number of books by this author and let me say I love them. I thought this one started out a little different than usual. It starts out with Sara reading a journal written by Rebecca. This journal was found in Rebecca's storage unit, which had been auctioned off for non-payment. And boy was it erotic. At first I though it was a little slow so I wasn't sure what to expect. Was I only going to hear the stories in the journal. Boy was I wrong and I am glad I was. The story line picked up when Sara attends a gallery showing. From that point I could not put the book down. Sara meet Chris, a hot sexy artist type. You feel the sparks fly between them, which is hard to do in a book. While Chris is somewhat of a control freak, he is not as bad as Sara's new boss. Mark is an arrogant, demanding, scary control freak. Chris and Mark have a past that seems to put Sara in the middle. Sara started working at the gallery to see if she could find out what happened to Rebecca. There is a mystery there which Sara is determined to find out. I thought the sex scenes were well done. Not overly descriptive, which they could have been due to the bondage component. Every pag

Man this novel jumps right into it, with the opening pages we are drawn into the journal ourselves with each steamy and intense action that is played through the words the author of the journal had written. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book but I am glad I was sent a copy for review this is a fantastic book, with highly erotic scenes interspersed with a highly suspenseful plotline this is by far one of the best romance novels I have read. I cannot wait to find out what happens next since Lisa Renee Jones left off this book with one of the most heart pounding cliff hangers, making me love and hate her all at the same time.

The story started off slow but I absolutely adore Sara and her stalker tendancies about Rebecca. I'm more so interested in the path both her and Chris will go down as well as the secrets of Mr. Compton (; if you like this series you will also like the book This Man ♡♡♡
