I was given a copy of The Desire to Touch in exchange for an honest review.Ellie is a Brit currently living in a New York hotel with her uncle and cousin after she was hurt. It is at this hotel that she literally runs into Trey Thomas, not realizing that he is an A-list Hollywood actor. Right away he is intrigued by Ellie and a few more unexpected meetings happen with the two of them. The Desire to Touch is the story of Ellie's insecurities and Trey's emotional story of angst, romance, and mystery.I really enjoyed the story. Ellie and her insecurities and her lack of gracefulness make her very realistic and I quickly became interested in her life in New York. She's tried so hard to overcome a traumatic event but even after two years have gone by, she still struggles with it sometimes when dealing with certain situations.I definitely love hot and sexy Trey. When he's not hiding behind his famous persona, and they spend time together out of the public eye, it's easy to want to be around him, but when he's in his star-mode, I can understand Ellie's hesitation to want to try to make the relationship work.I love that despite all the running away, on both their parts, Ellie does feel safe enough with him to share her past with him. But there's times where as much as I love Trey, I want to shake him and tell him to be more careful with her and to work with her insecurities about being in a relationship with him than he does when his friends and family do or say things that essentially push her away.Book 2, The Desire to Love, has been released already so I am glad that I don't have to wait to read it to see what the future holds, if anything, for Ellie and Trey. I would recommend The Desire to Touch to anyone who enjoys reading Adult contemporary romances, but I would also suggest having The Desire to Love on tap to start reading immediately.
