*****5 Stars*****
I am huge fan of Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed paranormal romance series. When I heard she was dipping her toes into Contemporary Erotic Romance I could barely contain my enthusiasm. For 100 Days begins a trilogy that follows Avery and Dominic (Nick) and it is a steamy and nail biting ride.
Avery is an artist who bartends to make ends meet, though lately, even that isn't enough and she is faced with the possibility of being homeless. Her luck takes a sudden turn when she meets Claire while at work. Claire needs someone to house sit her Park Avenue apartment for four months. That is where Avery first meets Nick and she is taken by how attractive he is. Shortly after, she runs into him again at the Art Gallery her work is displayed at. She is very emotional because she just found out her work is being pulled. The two get into a discussion about a captivating painting hanging in the gallery and soon they are heading back to Nick's apartment, which just happens to be in the building Avery is apartment sitting. Nick is a sexy, mysterious alpha millionaire and Avery is convinced he will be bored with her quickly. Soon a seemingly short, no-strings fling turns into an explosive passion that has both Nick and Avery reeling.
Adrian has a talent for creating captivating characters and writing fabulous dialogue. That holds true in her newest contemporary work and I think she definitely brought the sexiness up several notches. The scenes between Nick and Avery are nothing short of panty melting. There are secrets in both of their pasts and they are very slowly being revealed small snippets at a time. I found that both frustrating and compelling. Since this is the first book in a trilogy we are left with a lot of unanswered questions (especially about Nick, who we have barely scratched the surface of). Though it ends on a cliffhanger, it is happily not the kind that makes you want to hurl your kindle across the room. I am very much looking forward to the next two books and finding out Nick and Avery's secrets! Well done Ms. Adrian, it is obvious you can impress in any genre you decide to venture into.
