*2.5 Stars*I received an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) from the publisher via Edelweiss for an honest review so here are my two cents on Cynthia Sax's He Watches Me:When I read the blurb for He Watches Me by Cynthia Sax, I was immediately intrigued. Also, I could never resist the allure of a billionaire hero so I just had to get my hands on this one.This story is pretty short, averaging about 100 pages total. In this short amount of time, we get to meet the two main characters Anna Sampson and Gabriel Blaine and watch the first part of their story unfold. This story is about voyeurism & exhibitionism. Anna is the exhibitionist and Blaine is her voyeur. He likes to watch while she likes to be watched so as you can see they're perfectly well matched due to Blaine's voyeurism tendencies & Anna's exhibitionist tendencies. This story is explicit and naughty all at the same time even though there is no touching involved!Not a lot happened in this first part as it feels more like an intro to the story. While I wanted to enjoy He Watches Me, there were several things that kept me from fully enjoying it. I felt a disconnect with the characters; they fell flat to me and I believed they could have been better developed. Moreover, I think while some scenes were meant to be sexy and/or erotic, it just came off...awkward.Chemistry and sexual tension between the characters were missing and scenes where Blaine and Anna were together felt a bit forced. With that said, I wasn't fully invested in the characters or the storyline. Therefore, I doubt that I will be continuing on with this serial. However, these are only my personal thoughts & feelings. I'd still recommend readers to pick this up and try it for themselves to see if it's for them. Simply put, He Watches Me just wasn't for me.
