Book Review: Unspoken by Stephanie John

Unspoken

By Stephanie John

My first rule of business–never mix it with pleasure. Ever.

One unexpected encounter with a new employee and that fundamental rule was forgotten.

With a single touch, Kara Collins obliterated the order of my disciplined life, forcing me to question everything I believed in. Intuition told me I needed her, ensuring I couldn't forget my second rule.

Trust my instincts. Always.

Unspoken takes us back to the first meeting between Nate Blake and Kara Collins, retold from his POV. This short, sexy tease provides insight into the mind of this passionate, powerful and utterly addictive man. You can discover more about Nate in the full-length novel Salvation (Heal Me Series, Book 1), then prepare for the thrilling conclusion to Nate and Kara’s story in Book 2, scheduled mid-2016.

Unspoken can be read on its own, or as part of the Heal Me Series.

Warning: This work of fiction is intended for mature audiences over the age of 18 due to explicit content. Parental/reader discretion is advised.

Short & Sweet Review 

They always say...there's two sides to every story. This side is from the gorgeous billionaire Nate's POV, I love that we get to delve into his thoughts and feelings from when he first meets Kara. I just love being inside a mans head and knowing what they are thinking, and having read Kara's POV already it made things even more fun and interesting. I devoured this book!!

A beautifully written story with amazing characters you'll want to check these books out!!

“Have dinner with me.”

Miss Collins gaped at me.  “Dinner?” she spluttered.  “You mean like a business dinner?”

“No.”  I had no idea why she was so surprised by my suggestion.  Men must proposition her all the time.  “No business talk.”

“A date?”  Disbelief laced her seductive tone.  Two elegant fingers pressed against lush, pouty lips that were turning a deeper shade of red to match the small band of rubies adorning one of her fingers.

I eyed her curiously, recalling her dismissive remark about contributing little to her earlier meeting.  Why would she have such a low opinion of herself?

“That’s what I’d call it, yes.  Do they call it something different in England?” I teased.

Miss Collins lunged for her glass, took a large gulp then frowned.  “Dating the boss isn’t really my thing,” she murmured, returning the tumbler back to the table.

At first, her rejection didn’t register.  Watching her slender neck work the liquid down had seriously screwed with me.  An image of her on her knees, bee-stung lips closed around my cock and enthusiastically sucking made me more determined than ever to have her.

Title:  Salvation

Author:  Stephanie John

Genre:  Adult Contemporary Erotic Romance

Series:  Heal Me Series, Book 1

Formats:  Available on Amazon in ebook, paperback and free on Kindle Unlimited

A chance meeting turned my world inside out.

Intelligent, sexy, and rich. With a dash of roguish charm and a cocksure smile, Nathan Blake is the ultimate fantasy. He can have any woman he wants with only a glance.

And he wants me.

My past has left me broken and humiliated, wary of men like him. I cut myself off from the pain, moving thousands of miles away to escape every reminder, determined to start anew.

I’ve been second best before. It isn't happening again.

One kiss and I'm caught under his spell, drawn to him with every breath I take.

I can't resist.

The passion that explodes between us becomes an intense connection neither of us thought we’d share.

Or need.

The suffering inside me reflects his – a pain I know he feels, but can’t bring himself to reveal.

I have no idea his love can heal me – that mine can heal him…

…if only I can let down my guard for him and trust.

Salvation is a captivating story of finding, fighting and finally giving in to a love that is clearly meant to be. This is no ordinary billionaire romance - it is a breathtakingly sexy, tenderly erotic story with twists and turns that will leave you wanting more.

What reviewers are saying about Salvation

“The chemistry in this book is OFF THE CHARTS and the writing is so well done you CANNOT help but connect to these characters and hope you can one day pull that delicious Nate Blake right off the pages and into your world!!” ~ Bitches Heart Books

 “Add me to the long list of readers who loved this book!  Stephanie John’s writing has such a beautiful flow with much heart and depth.  Nate is the ultimate book boyfriend from being pure eye candy with a dirty mouth to the way he tenderly nurtures Kara.  Their longing for one another was off the charts and the physical exchange of emotions without words was so strong.  A true love story that doesn't let go.  DON’T MISS IT!” ~ Luv My Books

 “I’m in withdrawal I want more Nate!  5 stars all the way! I was hooked from the start.  When these two hook up it’s like the fourth of July!  Salvation is a MUST READ.” ~ 2 Girls, A Book & a Glass of Wine

 “Stephanie John has a genuine talent for bringing stories and characters to life and taking the reader along on an effortless ride to pure pleasure. And when I say pure pleasure - your heart will pound as their love heats up. One particular scene at the beach house will rank among the most erotic and powerful expressions of love that I have ever read. This book deserves more than five stars - it deserves a heaven full of them - because that is where you'll think you've been when you've finished Salvation. I can't wait for the next chapter ... and the next ... and the next. Don't deny yourself one of the truly outstanding contemporary romances of 2015.” ~ Passionate Reads

“A beautifully written contemporary erotic romance.  Plenty of great banter between the characters, plenty of story to get your teeth into, and plenty of sex to curl your toes.” ~ Sizzling Pages Romance Reviews

Most days, you’ll find Stephanie John on a yacht, wearing a very skimpy bikini, drinking champagne, eating chocolate and never gaining weight. When she isn't asleep and dreaming, in real life you’re more likely to find her at the school gates, wearing whatever she dragged on that morning, drinking copious amounts of coffee.  She still eats chocolate, though — everyone has their vices, right? Somehow, amidst the chaos of full-time mummy duties, she manages to write.  Contemporary romance has always been her favourite genre to read for as long as she can remember (age-appropriate, of course).

Never in a million years did it occur to her to write one of her own.  Now, she couldn't imagine doing anything else.

Book Review - Salvation by Stephanie John

Salvation

(Heal Me, #1)

by Stephanie John

A chance meeting turned my world inside out.

Intelligent, sexy, and rich. With a dash of roguish charm and a cocksure smile, Nathan Blake is the ultimate fantasy. He can have any woman he wants with only a glance.

And he wants me.

My past has left me broken and humiliated, wary of men like him.
I cut myself off from the pain, moving thousands of miles away to escape every reminder, determined to start anew.

I’ve been second best before. It isn't happening again.

One kiss and I'm caught under his spell, drawn to him with every breath I take.
I can't resist.
The passion that explodes between us becomes an intense connection
neither of us thought we’d share. Or need.

The suffering inside me reflects his – a pain I know he feels, but can’t bring himself to reveal.

I have no idea his love can heal me – that mine can heal him…
…if only I can let down my guard for him and trust.

My Review:

What can I say, I'm a sucker when it comes to hot billionaire men! 

From the first page I was drawn in. We meet Kara, who's just moved thousands of miles to escape her past and to give herself a much needed fresh start. Coming out of a bad relationship and not feeling confident in a lot of things, the last thing she expected was to see sparks flying when she met Nate Blake, who just so happened to the big boss for the company she was working for.
But when a man knows what he wants and he'll strive at any cost to get it, what's a girl to do?!
Yep, give it to him! ^_^

I loved the connection these characters have, as soon as their eyes connected you could feel the heat flowing from the pages, and believe me when I say it only gets hotter!!! It was fun to see the relationship unfold, and you can't forget the drama, no relationship is complete without even a little of that lol.

With a fun and entertaining storyline, characters you'll love from the start, everything flowed well together. For a debut novel Stephanie has done a brilliant job, and I look forward to reading book 2.

HAPPY READING!!!

Reviewers Say...

Move aside Gideon Cross! You are NO MATCH for Nate Blake! He's freaking amazing and so delectable. Kara and Nate's chemistry is undeniable. I love their playful banter and the sexual tension is immensely felt. I could go on and on about this book, and I will say that 5 stars doesn't cut it for this one. It deserves as many stars as I can find. Do yourself a favor and read this story! You WILL NOT be disappointed. Steph John is headed to stardom! You have a fan for life! I can't wait to see what's next."

Stephanie Allen, Sinfully Sweet Promotions

This book was so good. Well, good doesn't start to describe this book! Let's see- superior, superb, outstanding, exemplary, umm- it was just plain HOT! Exquisitely Hot! There that is how I want to describe this debut book by Stephanie John, Exquisitely Hot. Salvation, isn't your normal office romance, or your normal billionaire, alpha male takes his woman, kind of book, it is so much more. John amazes me, with her writing skill, she writes with a level of complexity that matches seasoned authors. There was no detail too small for her and her story flowed seamlessly. Her characters were rich in description and I don't think I ever fell in love with the male lead quite so fast. What I really liked about this story itself, it was unique. It was a billionaire guy, falling in love with an office staff with one look basically. That part is one in a million, but she really made it different. She made this billionaire different. Stephanie John made me LOVE Nate in this book.

And when I say pure pleasure - your heart will pound as their love heats up.

This book deserves more than five stars - it deserves a heaven full of them - because that is where you'll think you've been when you've finished Salvation. I can't wait for the next chapter ... and the next ... and the next. Don't deny yourself one of the truly outstanding contemporary romances of 2015.
