Sweet and steamy

Watch Me is a steamy, but also sweet story about a woman finding a way to take control back from those that betrayed her and a man who wants to fill her memory with good experiences before she leaves a city she now hates. Zoey comes to Phoenix, a private adult club, to live out a wild fantasy and also show the men who betrayed her that they didn’t break her. The owner Rhys sees her pain and knows he has to make things right. What he didn’t count on is falling for her too. As they spend more time together, exploring both the city and each other, they begin to fall hard. Will Zoey walk away when her time is up or will she stay with Rhys.

I loved that this story isn’t dark, but a contemporary, sweet and spicy romance set in a private club. It wasn’t erotica, but it was a steamy romance with a number of sweet moments and a lot of heart. As Rhys and Zoey date, getting to know each other, and also spend time in the club together, we quickly realize how compatible they are. Zoey needs someone in her corner and Rhys is a protector. He’s not an alpha, taking control, but a good man determined to right a wrong and I loved him for it. In audio, though it was narrated only by Chloe Ryan, I didn’t miss a second narrator. I was immediately sucked into this series and I am planning to finish the series to find out what happens with both Rhys and Zoey’s friends. Stacey left a lot of hints about what could come in this series and I was quite intrigued.

It's been a long time since I read an erotica book.

Zoey has a secret. The only way to get get rid of it is to get an invitation to the exclusive club. She never expects for a club owner to notice her. But notice he did.

Rhys may like kinky stuff but he's also kind and caring and he immediately takes a liking to Zoey. When he discovers her secret he will do anything to protect her and be there for her.

I love how he didn't tell her what to do but was supportive enough that she got stronger and healed for her to do the right thing.

My first read by this author and I admit it got me really curious about the next book - Archer and Elise's book. From what I've seen, it will be hot ;)
4 stars.

⚠️ This story may cause a trigger as it features women being drugged and filmed without their consent. ⚠️

I was genuinely enthralled from the very first paragraph of Watch Me, and really had no idea where it was going to go and the ride this story and these characters took me on was fantastic. I loved the guys Rhys, Archer, Hunt, and Kieran, and the girls Zoey, and her two friends Elise and Hazel, who truly are the type of girlfriends that everyone should have. And the story just flowed, was seriously hot, intense, powerful, and gripping to say the very least.

Can't wait to read more!!!

Would definitely recommend.

This book had some good moments but was soooo boring. I found my self just skimming through parts so I could get this books finished. Also, as other reviewers have stated, there was so little connection with these characters. And, even with a whole sex club aspect I found this book to be quite vanilla.

Zoey takes back her power after an incident in college and faces it at Rhys's private sex club.  She and her friends have illegally accessed the club and Zoey passed all the requirements to be in a show to lose her virginity & Rhys handles this show in his club and has an instant connection with her.  Both have tragic pasts and come to terms with fear and loss.  His circle of friends (Kieran, Hunt, & Archer) and her circle (Eliise & Hazel) help them overcome their obstacles and get books of their own in the rest of the series
