** 3.5 stars **I was fairly excited to get started on Dazzled by Silver. It had been a while since I'd read a straight-up erotic romance. I say a while, but it had been close to three weeks, and that's about two weeks too long, in my opinion. ;-)So did Dazzled by Silver meet my expectations? I didn't really have expectations other than some good lovin', but yeah, it did. The author jumped straight into the action - in more ways than one - and the story was interesting from beginning to end. I sometimes worry about novellas having good balance in story and pacing, but this was not an issue in Dazzled. The pacing was steady, and the story was very balance, having just enough but not too much going on.Dazzled by Silver is mostly told through Samantha's point-of-view, but also Gabe's. I liked Sam. She was confident in herself and her body, and after coming off a bad relationship, was ready to take what she wanted. Sam is looking for a no-strings relationship with a man, but is also attracted to her best friend, Kendra. Now, this would be awkward except that Kendra is very attracted to Sam as well. The two do get physical and I won't lie, this made me a little bit uncomfortable at first, and that's just stupid, because I read books with M/M all the time. I didn't like Kendra that much, but I did like that the two were open with each other. I did like Gabe a lot. He was confident without being arrogant or a jerk. He has his issues, but I like that they didn't completely take over the story.As I said before, the sexy was good. And plentiful. I didn't take over the story, but it most certainly did enhance it.Dazzled by Silver did end on a cliffhanger. Not one that drove me insane, but one that did leave me wanting to read the next story to find out what happens next.
