I read this in the five separate, short installments but will review it as a whole.
Simone is full of self-confidence with a side of naughty. While at work she has enjoyed her voyeuristic side watching the attractive male below bring back many woman to have his way with in his office. Having a penchant for masochism, she’s learned to ask for exactly what she wants and if the chemistry doesn’t complement to move on quickly. She continues her brazenness by virtually inviting herself to a party with the male one evening.
Elliott is a strange one. He’s a little bit OCD, a little bit germaphobe, and quite a bit neurotic. Coming from an abusive and neglected childhood, he has worked hard to overcome the obstacles placed upon him. He focuses on taking care of Molly and not becoming like his father. He has spent much of his free time with a parade of model type blondes but no one that he ever wants to be around more than a couple of dates.
This wasn’t my favorite series. It felt like there was more angst with a trivial amount of satisfaction. I didn’t get find much enjoyment in the flat characters or the dysfunctional connection they share. Elliott is constantly pushing Simone away and then running back to her; talk about mixed signals. In a lot of ways, I think this was the biggest turn off. Because there was so much rebuffing, it made me wonder where the plot was going. There were moments I enjoyed the rapport between Simone and Elliott but there were even more where I was left shaking my head. After the pages has settled or more aptly the kindle recharged, I think perhaps I didn’t get what was the author was trying to convey.

I've really been enjoying this serial from Hart, and this third entry finds the hero finally admitting that he can't get the heroine out of his mind. A solid B read for me.
Will be reviewing the series as a whole when it concludes. So much angst. This needs to be a full-length novel!
SERIES REVIEW
EVERY PART OF YOU is a serial novel made up of five books. It’s a dark, erotic, well written story about Elliot Anderson, a partner in a law firm and Simone Kahan, who works in the same building as Elliot. While Simone is working late one night, she looks out her window and notices Elliot’s activities in his office after hours. After that, whenever Simone works late, she watches Elliot hook up with different women in his office late at night. One night when Elliot and Simone are both working late, they accidentally meet in the elevator. Elliot he is arrogant, selfish and terse, but Simone can’t help being attracted to him. Simone is confident in who and what she is. She isn’t intimidated by other people, knows what she wants and always speaks her mind. Simone knows she is flawed, but is able to accept herself for who she is. Elliot is also flawed, but has a hard time acknowledging who he is. At forty two Elliot is inhibited, introverted and not honest with himself or other people. Elliot and Simone are two lost souls who are drawn to each other.
This is a well crafted story with great character development. As the story unfolds we understand Elliot and the circumstances that made him the man he is today. Although, there isn’t much information about Simone’s past. Each book is about sixty pages and continues where the last book left off. I don’t understand why Megan Hart wrote this as serial and I have to admit, it spoiled the story for me. For that reason, I gave the book a lower rating. That being said, I think Megan Hart writes an intense, edgy, sexy read. There is some BDSM in the story.

This part was definitely hot. I love how Simone is almost setting Elliot free. I'm not sure how long he has been with women that can't meet his sexual needs, but it's got to be like standing in a desert looking at a picture of water. Damn, he seems a bit messed up because he has denied that part of him for so long. This story is building to a major climax, I can't help but think that Elliot is going to try to tamper down this side of himself, maybe because of his father. Incredible story so far, my entertainment is huge because this is a story in the kind of genre I love. Thanks netgalley for a free read in exchange for a review.
3.5 Stars ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review.
It has been a while since I read the first 2 installments, so it was good to get back in the world of Simone and Elliot.
The tension just keeps on growing as this series goes forward. Elliot knows he effed up big time at the end of part 2, and now this is him trying to make things right.
Simone, Simone, Simone. I don't know, I guess I just want to slap some sense into her. Elliot is what he is, but Simone flip-flops between the assertive go-get-him woman and then the total opposite.
The relationship as it is is starting to grow, and we start to get more into the light BDSM/pain is pleasure side of their relationship.
We also meet the infamous Aiden, and it is going to be interesting to see where Simone's relationship with him will go.
Now, on to Part 4: Denies Me.....

Quick review for a quick read. I'm still fascinated in watching the developing relationship between Elliot and Simone. This installation of the "Every Part of You" series had enough palpable tensions to fill the respective story. Elliot realizes he screwed up the last time he met Simone and tries to make amends. The two still have a complicated relationship based on pleasure and pain, and certainly on the cusp of BDSM, though it's not necessarily defined as that - at least not yet.
In the meantime, one of Simone's lovers enters her life again and adds some complication to her sentiments on a number of different things. It results in another rendezvous with Elliot, though Elliot's not too happy with hearing about Aidan. And Simone's former relationship with Aidan definitely classifies under the BDSM tab.
It definitely leaves off on an interesting note, and one that I look forward to seeing how it pans out in the next installment.
Overall score: 3/5 stars
Note: I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, from the publisher St. Martin's Press.

Im really starting to hate this serial trend. Waiting for comic books is bad enough but now my erotic novels too? Anyway...I gave this one a try because Megan Hart has long been one of my favorite authors. She's on auto-buy and once I began this serial I couldn't stop.
This story has the usual angst of of a dom/sub vibe relationship. What it didn't have was the usual Megan Hart ending. I've begun to count on that twist ending that sets things up but it's never quite what you expect. I expected the ending in this. It wasn't bad by any means but it just wasn't her usual flavor.
Good serial, good books, HOT sensual scenes and I enjoyed the characters. Great read.

I found myself getting frustrated with both of the characters. Simone and Elliot are doing the dance again. Elliot should just grow a pair and man up. While I liked Simone in the first two installment, she came off as pathetic on this one.
I'm not happy with how things are going right now. :(
