A great conclusion to the Because You Are Mine series by Beth Kery. Lin has always been a loyal and diligent employee. When her boss, Ian, asks her to step in an help his brother Kam on his trip to the US for business meetings, Lin is more than ready to help. What she doesn't expect is the almost instant attraction to Kam. And it's not just his good looks, he captivates her in conversation. Kam also cannot hide his attraction and even though they have chemistry in the bedroom they both have concerns and issues preventing them from taking their relationship public. And with Lin's loyalty to Ian coming between them, can Kam and Lin find a HEA? A really great, smexy read. Technically it could be enjoyed as a stand-alone but the characters from the earlier books do make an appearance so it enhances your enjoyment overall if you've read all the books. Ms. Kery is always a good read is you are looking for smexy characters and the emotions that drive a good relationship. Good read!

First Impressions
I have been meaning to try this author for so long here. I actually saw this one at my local B&N and grabbed it because one….I had a favorite podcast (doesn’t exist anymore) where a group of ladies ALL raved about Beth Kerry and how much they all loved her work. And at the time I was wanting to explore more Erotic Romance and this book came out when Erotic Romance as a sub genre really exploded. But for some reason I just haven’t picked it up, and I will tell you, I am not sure why. But I was in the mood for something like this and I just wanted a classy erotic romance and this one fit the bill to a T. It was such a remarkable find and while it wasn’t perfect (as the pacing was completely engaging all the way through) I fell in love with how this was written and it just charmed me to no end. I really couldn’t help but fall for this story and the characters that I became introduced to. This won’t be the last time I pick up this author.
Summary
the “gist” of the story is that our heroine, Lin, is instructed by her boss Ian Noble that his brother is coming to town and is a rising star in the inventionist academia and Ian needs her to polish his brother up and tame him a bit. Lin has worked for boss Ian as his personal assistant for many years, and even though she has been in love with him, he is a man she can never have. But when she meets his growly brother she is intrigued by this untamed creature of a male who only fascinates her more and more despite his behavior at times. there is an instant chemistry between the two, and even they are opposites in their personalities, they burn with fire in each other’s arms. But as they explore their sexual relationship, something deeper forms between them that is unexpected. Will their passion for each other bring together a deep abiding love or will it threaten everything they hold dear? Will Lin and Kam find everything they have been searching for in each other’s arms?
What I Loved
Since I Saw You was simply a beautiful sensual read and I just was on their journey and cheering these two on all the way through. I just couldn’t contain how much I absolutely loved these two people and seeing them connect with each other was a beautiful experience. I will be honest that I didn’t know what to expect when I first picked this up, but after a few pages I knew that it would be a book i would highly enjoy and I definitely did. It was such a powerful story. And it also had a classy feeling to the sexual scenes that happen between Lin and Kam. Sometimes these days sexual scenes can be highly crude and vulgar. But in this one here we have such connection and beautiful moments that just explode between these two. I loved how opposite they are from each other but they make it work for each other. I was so intrigued by this unrequited attracted that Lin had to her boss though (I have a feeling there is so much more to the story I am missing there from the earlier books in the series) but I really felt for Lin in some ways. She was such a strong woman that deserved to find that happiness with Kam. Kam was quite a hoot of a hero. He is dark and growly with this French accent, and he definitely is a dominant in the bedroom but in such a easy-going way. He develops these scenes so naturally with Lin and it was so beautiful to see them connect not just sexually but emotionally in these intense moments.
What I Struggled With
There wasn’t too much I struggled with. The only thing that would have made this book better, was the story being more engaging. It was a quick read, but not as engaging as I was expecting it to be.
Overall View
Since I Saw You was a magnificent read and I was in love with the way that we see the development of growth within the story. Its an alluring romantic tale of fierce passion and tenderness perfectly balanced in one package to bring the reader delights and contentment.

Interesting culture shock. I like seeing an integration of multiple cultures; the blending itself seems erotic, if only for the devotion evidenced by each's compromise. Self sacrifice is romantic, effort is very persuasive.
