Allure by Nina Lane

5.0

Aaaaaaah!!! This book series just keep on getting better! After reading Arouse ( which I really loved!) , I can't help but to expect more from the next book. What can I say? Ms. Nina Lane exceeded my expectations! I love Allure as much as I loved Arouse. 

And yes! I still felt the same emotions....feelings ..like I did before...BUT , yes, a BUT! But , only this time it was magnified!

Oh! You can definitely say that I "fangirled" MUCH over the drool...lust-worthy Prof. Dean West!! I think he just ...uhmm..he might be ...well, now look at me ?! Stuttering ?! just the mere mention of his name?! Or thought? I am shivering with...desire?! Dean West gave me "ideas" what to demand from my future husband?! Like, calling me "Beauty" for starters?! ....and show me same passion, intensity ala Dean style?! I am referring to the "closet scene" and the "balcony scene"?! ( which was just too hawt!! *fans myself* ) Eeep! Now.now... Do I sound too demanding?! Well, a girl like me can wish? Or dream? Dean..Dean..Dean...*sigh* 

“You’re the first woman who’s ever made my heart beat like that. You’re the first woman I’ve ever wanted to spend all my time with, the only one who could convince me to start a new life. You’re the first woman who’s ever made me genuinely happy. Who makes me glad to be alive, who makes me burn hotter than fire. You’re the first woman who’s ever made me afraid.” -------> Awwww ! Do I need say more??!! *swoon*


Well, who wouldn't want a love as fierce as what Dean has for Liv? He'll even move mountains for her?! He wants to do EVERYTHING for Liv, and made it his mantra to love, protect her by all means. Picture perfect, I know? But not everything is all about them. As outside forces , certain situations begun to threaten their union...again, their marriage was put into another test. It was a make it or break it decision...and it was up to them.

“I’d never wanted to prove myself to anyone the way I did Liv. I liked her too much. Liked the way I didn’t feel cold inside when I was with her, the way I didn’t think about anything except her. I liked that she was a mystery. I liked the way she looked at me, as if she knew I would protect her. That I could.
Until… I couldn’t”
-------> Awwww! Come 'mere , Dean..I wanna kiss you! *puckers my lips*


Again, I love how Ms. Lane made me feel while reading Liv and Dean's struggles , I was more involved and not just a mere spectator. There are times when I was so affected, I have to close my eyes and ask, why..why this is happening?? Or shook my head then groan ...ugh! Bad...bad idea!! Yes! Again, I was getting all carried away...throughout the entire book... till the end! I just loved that feeling! Emotional. Intense. Just amazing!

My intense love for Ms. Lane's books ( most specially this series!) remains unchanged. I will definitely ....and excitedly be jumping over to the next book!
