4.5 Stars - Ultra SteamyThis riveting and gut-wrenching novel is impossible to put down. It's tragic, maddening, tantalizing and exhilarating.The two male protagonists, Ben and Arsen are pure carnal confections. Both characters are strikingly different types of heroes yet equally viable and compelling love interests.Ben is the dream husband: tall, dark, remarkably handsome and madly in love with his gorgeous wife, Cathy. Ben dotes on and savors Cathy. She is the air he breathes. He worships and devours her body and soul. He would do anything for her. Their love is substantial, deep and true.But, unfortunate circumstances leave Cathy and Ben at a loss. Despair drives Cathy to retreat and disconnect from lovely, perfect Ben. Sad and numb, Cathy's picture perfect life feels gray and lifeless until she meets Arsen.Arsen is all fire and fantasy, sunny beauty and raw sexuality. When Cathy eventually gives in to her blinding desires and need for Arsen, he is right there, deliciously wicked and ready to take her. With ferocity and vigor, Arsen commands and possesses her fully. For Cathy, the torrid affair is an intoxicating outlet and overpowering addiction. For Arsen, Cathy becomes his everything.ARSEN is filled with well described stolen moments between ravenous lovers. The sex is white hot electrification: Innocent, affectionate, playful and loving. Passionate, raw and frenzied. Hypnotic and forbidden. Lyrical and heartbreaking. Angry and punishing.Be warned, ARSEN is not a frothy feel-good romance. It's an exhaustive emotional roller coaster filled with delirious highs and devastating lows. You have to be prepared for the punches. Also, if you dislike books with prominent infidelity, this story isn't for you. No matter how crazy hot and titillating the sex is, you'll never get past the cheating.For me, I love a good love triangle, and this one is epic. I LOVED this book. ARSEN gripped me from the first page and left me overheated and shaken.
