Caroline Review 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Art and eroticism. This was an intense read with layers and layers of nuance, mystery and, yes, even a little creepiness! The writing was compelling and lyrical, and full of riveting imagery.
"When his eyes meet mine again, a shock goes through me. I've never seen this in a man's eyes before. Desire like this. It's dark, and terrifying, and I want it."
Daphne Morelli is striving for independence from her wealthy, protective family but, in essence, it's pretty much an illusion, as she can't seem to move without eyes on her. When the mysterious Collector takes an interest in one of her paintings, she finds herself taking risks and stealing away from safety along a path that is simultaneously frightening, as well as alluring.
"It's like being hit with an ocean swell. The inverse of a swell. She's not force and salt. She's sweetness. Warmth. But then - yes. A dark mystery, too."
Emerson LeBlanc likes to acquire beautiful things and from the moment he sees Daphne, he's determined to have her. He's never been so affected by someone before and he finds his iron control severely tested by his compulsion to seek her out and take ownership of her. Softly, softly, he's luring her into his life, into his home and into his possession.
"I want to see her fear and her desire and her darkness on her. Not in a representation. On her skin. On her face. Between her legs. I want to let my feelings for her loose on her. Scrawl them on her skin."
This was a such an enthralling, erotic and visceral read. Emerson's obsession was a living, breathing entity. His desire was her and his need to possess her was palpable. I felt his yearning for her - he was almost like an addict needing his next hit, yet his will was strong as he held his patience, so he could gently reel her in. Daphne was sweet, loyal and emotional. I loved her innocence and her naivete. She grew up with wealth and the type of people associate with it, but Emerson was a different kettle of fish completely. I loved her fearful fascination with him. It was thrilling that her instincts told her to keep away, yet her lust and attraction drew her to him like a moth to flame. I felt like this story had shades of Hitchcock with the mystery of Emerson and his secretive, devious ways! Such a fab read and can't wait to see what happens next!
