Crave is the first book in the Undone series by Jennifer Dawson. Layla tragically lost her fiance three weeks before the wedding. Although this is an Erotic story, there are so many other things going on I found myself completely captivated.
"Someday" I say my voice cracking "I'm going to ask you if you think eighteen months is a long time, and we'll see what your answer is"
This is a story of healing, finding your way after something so horrific has happened to you. Living with the memories, guilt and pain. Although Layla has a supportive family, since her fiance was murdered the submissive part of her personality is floundering. The peace John brought to her life feels irreplaceable. Now enters the scene, Michael, the perfect Alpha male boyfriend. When he was first introduced in the story as a homicide detective, I feared that it would come out that he was there the night John was murdered, fortunately the author did not go there. Michael is everything that has been missing for Layla, and although their relationship seemed volatile at times, they just work as a couple. This story has everything, steam, angst, mystery, misunderstanding, and a happily ever after.
The challenge with a first book in a series, is that the author has to engage the reader enough that they will want to read the next book. Ms. Dawson did just that. I am anxious to read Leo and Jillian's story in Sinful.
