Mar 18, Ellen Dominick rated it liked it Shelves: Killing the Desire begins moments after Rose's mom, Becks, is killed. We get to spend a few chilling moments with her murderer before meeting Rose and the rest of the characters. When Rose comes home to find her mother dead, she becomes determined to find the killer. That's when she meets Detective Dave Mason, and falls head over heels for him. After a sad family reunion and joyous funeral party, Rose and Dave have a six hour sex-athon. Then Rose finds some evidence on her mother's laptop that pinpoints Dave as the potential murderer. Is he the murderer?
Well, I can't spoil the plot for you, now can I? The book shocked me from the very first line, but I only wish that level of tension continued throughout the whole novel. Right after the opening scene we get a few chapters of backstory before the plot gets moving again. I get that Harrow wanted us to understand Rose's family, but it would have been better to get that as the plot continued rather than all at once.
She's not going to take any guff from anyone.
While I liked a change from all of the weak and helpless female main characters I've seen in erotica recently, she's still another stereotype. Fans of anime and manga might recognize her as tsundere, or the tough chick with a heart of gold. There isn't much to her that wasn't predictable. The same goes for the rest of the characters. If you love perfect and beautiful main characters, then Killing the Desire delivers. Rose is smoking hot, with a great ass and boobs.
Dave is a big hunk of rippling six-packs in a police uniform. But if you like a little more originality in your characters, you may be disappointed. Many times It just seemed too unrealistic and rushed by too quickly. Rose was a cum machine, and even she lost count of how many times she orgasmed. It seems like she can cum at the drop of a hat.
I wish I had that skill, but I am not so lucky. I do like that she takes the reins sometimes during sex, and doesn't just sit back and let things happen to her. Those gorgeous, brilliant, blue eyes! They were deep, soulful, kind eyes. When sexual attraction diminishes or goes away entirely it can be the result of health issues, drugs and alcohol, personnel issues or the loss of respect. The loss of respect is the chief cause of the loss of sexual desire. If your partner has lost respect for you, what can you do about it?
Make sure you have taken responsibility for whatever you may have done to cause it. Do whatever you need to do to make it better and let your partner know what your plan is. Do all the things that would make your mate feel you are tuned into them.
Make sure you acknowledge what they are feeling. One of the most difficult aspects of relationship intimacy is the fear of being vulnerable.
Emotions are normal and no one is weak for having them. You have nothing to lose by telling the whole truth and nothing creates respect more than someone who is willing to open it all up.

That's when they consulted with me. I helped them each see how each of them was abandoning themselves by not taking responsibility for their own feelings of worth.
Steven was trying to get his worth through sex and Julie had been trying to tap into her worth in the relationship by completely giving up her own needs and desires, focusing solely on getting Steven's approval. When we began work together, I strongly encouraged each of them to start practicing staying present with their own feelings and noticing how they were treating themselves that was causing each of them to feel badly. I taught them to open to a spiritual source of love, truth and wisdom that they could turn to at any time to fill themselves with love.
I encouraged them to spend time together only when both of them felt full inside and wanted to share their love with each other, rather than as a way of garnering a sense of approval, or care-taking to try to get love and validation in exchange. Of course, it took time for them to learn and practice all of this.
But slowly, over a period of about six months, their relationship began to improve. Sex gradually came back into their relationship organically , and they reported to me that sometimes they were having the kind of wonderful, spontaneous and passionate sex that they had had at the beginning of their relationship.
The answer is simple: When you don't push yourself to grow and show up to be the best person you can be, your relationship will absorb the toxicity. Fortunately, when you learn to love yourself rather than continue to reject and abandon yourself, all aspects of your relationship will greatly improve. Instead of leaving when the love and passion go out of your relationship, why not learn to love yourself and see what happens?
