Jen's Reviews > Eyes Wide Open

I am very sad, as I have now completed this steamy series and won't get to see Ethan again..*sigh*..I will miss him..Raine Miller did it again though, and wrote another hot,steamy,and successful read. In this installment is was a pleasant surprise to see the paternal side of Ethan Blackstone. His interaction with his little niece was very heartwarming! Of course kids say the darndest things and that little girl had me in stitches a few times!! She spilled the beans on a secret that should have been told by Ethan to his dad; but she is only little so he just had to forgive her! Once again we get to see Ethan and Brynne develop their bond even stronger. The love between these two is unbreakable and they are committed to each other 100%.

"It always amazed me at how easy it was to carry her. I knew why. It was because she carried my heart with her wherever she went. My heart was in her hands, and carrying her was some form of self-preservation,maybe. Holding her, holding me up."--Ethan Blackstone--

The unwavering loyalty that Brynne and Ethan have together is so nice and it had me rooting for them throughout the whole story. Of course, it isn't all smooth sailing and Brynne's stalker is still somewhere on the loose. Ethan is determined to protect his woman and make sure she doesn't get hurt. The other hurdle is that Ethan is still having his nightmares, and Brynne is becoming super frustrated, that he hasn't open himself up to her about them and what happened to him when he was captured. At one point he even pushes her away instead of talking with her about what is going on inside his head.
Sex between this couple is explosive. This is some of the best sex scenes I have read! Ethan can be wild, and I love every minute of what he gives to his woman!

"My beast appeared at the scent of her arousal. Made me want to do very kinky things to her."

Brynne's description of her man is one that I loved:

"My kinky, foul-mouthed, romantic gentleman lover." This sums up Ethan very well!

There was for sure more romance in this book than the others, and Ethan sure can dish out the romance very well. He sure is sensitive,caring, and extremely protective of his Brynne.
I adored this series and am sad that it is finished.I would love to see an update down the road, on how their future goes. I hope this will not be the last we see of Raine Miller and her highly sexy, entertaining series!
