I read everything, but I have said countless times that romance is my first love. That is quite a broad spectrum, if you ask me. There lies many different facets within that range from historical to paranormal, and contemporary to hardcore erotica. Mr. Hildreth wrote a book that was unlike any other that I have read. Sure, there is the D/s aspect in his book as well as others that I have read, but he takes us to a unique place in this story.In the "Erik Ead Series", I read the first, "Baby Girl". Mr. Hildreth tells the story from both the female and male lead's POV. I loved this because it gives the reader insight into both character's minds and feelings. I say that this story is exceptional and unlike any other because it is. We meet Kelli, the female lead. She isn't like the typical leads that are painted in most romantic erotica novels. She embraces her sexuality, and we are given a clear picture of her thoughts as well as her past. She is the young woman of car dealership owner who grows up motherless. She has one good friend, Heather, who knows the type of girl Kelli is. She jumps around from man to man, tiring of them after she has had her sexual fill. Kelli hasn't ever gotten into a relationship and doesn't believe in love. She craves something sexually that has never been satisfied. She speaks of her sexual past, giving us (the readers) a glimpse of why she enjoys what she does. She never sees herself settling down with any man, because she never has before. Things change drastically after she runs into an older man covered in tattoos with an aura of rugged mystery. That man is Erik Ead.Erik Ead is a man that loves control. He thrives on it, enjoys it, and does not lead his life any other way. He went to med school and is a psychiatrist, but things changed for him after his mother was killed by a drunk driver. Erik took time off and spent time riding around on his motorcycle. His life had been the same for a long time when it came to relationships, though his definition was much different than most others. The relationships that Erik had before Kelli were nothing other than a ticking time bomb, because sooner or later the woman would get attached, and attachment led to disappointment. Erik had to cut things off by that time. His sexual life varied and his taste is definitely far from vanilla. It was just a matter of time before the women he bedded and had "relationships" with wouldn't do what he asked them to please him. It was nothing but a vicious cycle for Erik Ead, but it was a cycle that he thought he was content with. That changed for him when his path crossed Kelli's.They ran into one another at her father's dealership. (Kelli would later tell him it wasn't their first encounter!) Kelli was given instructions from Erik, a man than instantly radiated sex appeal and something else she wasn't quite sure of. She wasn't sure of anything except her willingness to know more. As their relationship progresses, they experience many sexual encounters and Mr. Hildreth did a fantastic job describing them in great detail, and I will say that any woman would fall to her knees if graced with Mr. Erik Ead. Tall, muscular and uhmmmm.... covered in tattoos with a look of control, what woman wouldn't want to know more? Kelli finds herself craving to please him, because when she hears the two simple words roll off of his tongue, "Baby Girl", her heart swells (not to mention her panties hold the evidence as well!) As time goes on, she feels the void close a bit more; the same void that she had felt with every other man. She knew without a doubt that she was falling for him, hard. Kelli holds the fear of being dismissed like the others before her, she saw it as a timer waiting to buzz loudly when it reached zero. But what Kelli didn't know was that Erik was falling for her as well.Kelli's simplicity and beauty intrigued Erik. He found her presence comforting and their sexual happenstances were more that exciting; everywhere from a movie theatre to a dressing room at a store. She was a good girl that did anything to please him, and he liked that very much. But most of all, he was comfortable with her being herself. That hadn't happened to him before. Mr. Hildreth gives a one of a kind way into the character's minds. I mentioned Mr. Ead's physical attributes, but couple that with intelligence and his distinctive way of thinking, you will find your heart beating faster and faster with each passing word. I am looking forward to reading the other installments in the Erik Ead Series. The fluidity was perfect and the story was flawless. Will their true feelings come out before Kelli is due to leave for grad school in NY at Columbia? One-click this book on your kindle to find out. You will be turning the pages and feel the heat radiating from the every single one. This is a five star HOT must read book. Kudos, Sir. This book tells a great story!
