Three Stages of Love: Lust is an interesting book. I found it interesting to read about a woman that could have been me... had I not taken the path that she is fighting so hard against.The book is fast moving but rough at first. But KEEP READING... it is worth it. By rough I mean that there is some contunity and believability issues.As a working mother of two, I know how hard it is to try to have it all. I justify making that monthly payment on my college loans, when I really want to just be home with my kids. While I also want to be a raising star at work... I don't think it is possible to have both at the same time.I loved the end though, even cried. I never cry, by the way. I am glad I kept reading to get to that part... I look forward to the 2nd book.I know that T.C. Anthony's way of telling this story doesn't allow the reader any view point other than Eva's... so as the reader I have to keep telling myself that all the blanks will be filled as Eva figures them out.As to erotica... it is hot and interesting... but not sure it is needed. Eva needs to have be forward or the book doesn't work. And I love the interactions and verbal play between Eva and Alexander. I feel like the writer is trying to fit into this genre because of the explotion of 50 Shades, Crossfire, and Blackstone... but I think the writer could have fit in with books like "On Dublin Street" and still achieve what they are going for.Overall it was well worth the time and look forward to seeing where Eva and Alex go or don't go... it shall be revealed in time.I was not paid to write this review but was given an advance reader copy.
