Arouse (A Spiral Bliss Novel) By Nina Lane

The Blurb:

One day I'm going to touch you in a thousand different ways and show you how to touch me," he said.

And he did.


Struggling with a tormented past, undergraduate Olivia Winter once led a practical but isolated life. Then she met Professor Dean West, a brilliant scholar of medieval history who melted Liv's inhibitions and taught her the meaning of both love and erotic pleasure. But after three years of a blissful, lusty marriage, Liv and Dean now face a crisis that threatens everything they believe about each other. And when dark secrets and temptations rise to the surface, the fallout might break them apart forever.



My Review:

One word.... WOW!

I felt like a voyeur slowly watching this happy marriage disintegrate through secrets and misunderstanding.  It really hit a raw nerve with me, I have had the same 'baby' rows with hubby and spent a lot of the time thinking that this could be 'us',  a happily married couple destroying what they have....(thankfully, we are well past that stage and I'm happy to report still extremely happily married!).  

 Olivia and Deans pain felt real and raw.

This book had me hooked from the very beginning. The two main characters were strong, the writing excellent, the story so believable and well told.  I spent a lot of the time wanting shout at the hotness that was Dean to get his act together.  How could he have kept a secret like that from the lovely Olivia???  

I am genuinely looking forward to the next instalment.

This book is a must read!

My rating? 5 out of 5
