From 4.25.13 -- I just found out that my review didn't post, so here it is again! I had the pleasure of reading this book today. I got the download mid morning and by the end of the day, it was finished (with other life things going on, I wasn't able to finish it in one sitting, but had to split it up!).The Prologue for this book was truly a great "hook" in my opinion. This is where I met Eros, the Greek god of love who is also known as cupid. He is a popcorn-loving, demoted demigod. I loved how Eros was a snarky, lust loving "angel" with a naughty side. He was sent by Saint Peter to find out why Willa Davis Seachrist is running a sex club. St. Peter wants to know why Willa, a former beauty queen and ex-wife of a billionaire, would become a pimp.As the first book in the Carmine Club series, the story unfolds and quickly draws you in. I felt like I was actually part of the story, kinda hanging out unseen, like Eros. Teague Tillis comes to Carmine House in search of a man to make her fantasies come true. I don't want to give away too much of the story, but what Eden does in this book, is show us the many layers of sexuality women have. Yes, we all want to be loved and protected, but there are times when we need our man to be stronger and NOT gentle. Teague learns that, as Jane says after reading her fantasy, it's more common than most of us would think. And Cam learns that he has an inner caveman that he was afraid to acknowledge, because of all the pain and suffering he had seen battered women go through.I learned that Eden has a prequel to the Carmine Club series, called "Breaking Glass." I immediately had to go and find a copy so I can indulge in more Eros, while we all wait for the next book in the series, "Kink and Ink," to come out. Welcome to Carmine Club. I know you will enjoy the ride.
