FADE INTO ME  (Fade Series #2) by Kate DawesFADE INTO ME is the second novella (September 2012 release) in Kate Dawes three-part novella series, and this storyline is short.  The storyline starts up at exactly the same point where Fade Into You ended. Like many of the other serial type novellas written in the same style, this series is basically a novella broken down into 3 very short novellas.  I guess the serial release is a bigger attraction to readers but disappointing when each successive novella is shorter than the previous.FADE INTO ME follows Olivia and Max as he takes her for a weekend getaway to Napa Valley where Max, at Olivia's insistence, tells her about his life and family. But when Olivia asked about his previous loves, Max was a little too evasive and Olivia began to wonder if she had overstepped her bounds or if Max was hiding a dirty little secret.Olivia's success with the talent agency was earning her high praise from the boss.  With a new found enthusiasm and an office to call her own, Olivia was hoping to make inroads into the business.  But after a weekend to New York with Max, Olivia's boss Kevin would point out that perhaps her relationship with Max may hurt both of their careers. When Olivia started to protest, Kevin showed her some pictures and Olivia's heart sank. Max hadn't been honest and he had broken her heart.FADE INTO ME advances the storyline especially as it pertains to some of the background information about Olivia and Max. Like most erotica storylines there is plenty of steamy sex in varying positions and places. Our heroine is no virgin and she knows what she wants and isn't afraid to try something new. This storyline is not about BDSM, and there are no issues of control or power plays between the couple, which is a refreshing relief at this point.see all of my reviews at  thereadingcafe.com
