If you've read Nelle's first book with Gloria Long and Jaime Zander, you'll understand what I mean when I say they feel like a guilty pleasure I indulge in. They are sexy, uninhibited, alpha characters that live in a world of glamour, money, and beauty. Reading Gloria's Revenge (Gloria Book 2)  took me back to their world and I not only got answers to questions from book 1 but also got to escape to their world once again.Gloria's Revenge starts where the first book left off with Gloria and Jaime in Paris. Their world is one I will never see...one with private jets, personal drivers, and everything I want at my fingertips. It is a fantasy world where I get to be a voyeur, and I loved every minute.Gloria Long is a self made successful businesswoman and creator of the world's largest lingerie company. She gives the impression that she is unshakeable and confident, but she is hiding secrets behind her carefully put together facade. Gloria's world as she knows it is about to be come crashing down around her. The demons from her past aren't the only things she has to worry about.She is a woman that cannot survive without complete control of everything around her. Jaime Zander is the man that shatters that control everytime he comes near her. Gloria's mind, body and heart surrender to him despite her attempts to stop them. Jaime is dead set on making Gloria trust him with those things she hides from everyone else, and he doesn't play fair. ;)Jaime turns out to be the least of Gloria's problems in this book. Her business that she started and made such a huge success is threatening to be taken away from her. She is being hounded by the sleazy stockholder Victor Holden and his evil daughter Vivian, who is poised to take both Gloria's Secret and Jaime away from her. On top of everything else, Gloria senses that the man she has run from for most of her life is about to catch up with her. This last threat is one that Gloria and her best friend Kevin might not survive.Let me tell you something about this series from Nelle. I loved the plot, the angst, the unbelievably hot sex and the tender moments between characters. That's not really a secret. The secret is that I loved the visuals that Nelle's writing inspired. Nelle describes Gloria's lingerie in such a way that it makes you feel giddy. Every woman loves wearing undergarments that make her feel sexy and feminine. I want to be her for the simple fact that she has matching underwear for every outfit she puts on. I mean, come on....what woman doesn't want an endless supply of out of this world sexy bras and panties along with the body to wear them. (Maybe I should add this to my Dear Santa letter :D)Gloria's Revenge is the rest of Gloria and Jaime's story. Their struggle to hold on to their hearts and maybe their very lives is played out in the world of the rich and famous. From Paris to New York and California, Nelle L'Amour took me on a ride that I didn't want to get off of. I laughed, I cried, and I held by breath more than once. If you want to escape from life for a while and go play with the rich and famous, I suggest you read Gloria's Secret (Gloria Book 1) and Gloria's Revenge (Gloria Book 2) by Nelle L'Amour. They are smoking hot and a guilty pleasure that sucks you in from the beginning!
