Allure Book 2 State Of Romance (Contemporary Romance)

---

I enjoyed the chase in this book. Gage was relentless and wasn't giving up no matter how hard Cassie resisted which made the ending that much sweeter. You also get to read a bit about Mase who the 3rd book in the series is based off of as well as read about Alexis and Jack from the first book. Sarah Curtis does a great job of giving you the Alpha male without taking it too far and creating sassy females to give them a run for their money!

May 21, Angie H. I'm loving this series. Jan 12, Erika OwlwaysReading rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Because of 4 major reasons: He went back looking for her, bought her an engagement ring, got her name tattooed on his shoulder, and kept one of her old hair clips. That's how much she meant to him! Again, I never once questioned his devotion and love to Cassie! I love my epilogues ; Seriously! I wish there were 0.

More so than the 1st book in my opinion. Because these characters already have a rocky history. Personally, this makes the book more dynamic and realistic. Definitely a safe and dependable read! A book to put you in a good mood! This is my woman. Pursuing is now out!!! View all 3 comments. May 20, Emily rated it it was amazing Shelves: Cassie Wagner loved deeply once but that love shattered and she was left broken in return.

Cassie is Cassie Wagner loved deeply once but that love shattered and she was left broken in return. Cassie is not interested, she doesn't believe she can trust Gage fully again. Gage digs in and plans to prove to her that he is worthy of a second chance, will she give him one? There is several plotlines that I did not delve into not wanting to give anything away.

I was anxious to see what Sarah Curtis had in store for readers after reading her first book Alluring, I was not disappointed. This is completely different from the first book but you do read about familiar characters which was fun. Gage is uber alpha male and even though at time Cassie seems like a brick wall, he maintains his course. Years ago, Gage, the rockstar and Cassie, the student met, fell for each other but Gage broke her heart due to his tours and life. He leaves a heartbroken Cassie, and she vows never to trust him again. Sweet and sexy romance with trust issues and mild angst.

Though I love secret babies- I am not a fan of rockstar books but I'm glad I gave this one a chance. Also it annoyed me a little that he had slept around in her absence, especially because he insists she was the love of his life- and on the other hand the author kept the heroine celibate- so that took a little while to get over. Sep 27, Libby Harrison rated it liked it Shelves: H slept around during separation Average score: He didn't want me.

I highly doubt he wants our baby. This was an average love story between a rock star and a puppy lover. It was no were near as good as th https: It was no were near as good as the first book in this series but it was ok. Could have been better Jun 28, Laurie rated it liked it Shelves: I liked this one but not as much as the first one. The writing was great, I just had a hard time with the h's decisions, especially the elephant in the room one. Her doubts about him and a couple of her TSTL moments kind of sealed her fate as an h that fits firmly in my not my favorite list. I did love the H.

He was a dumbass who could have tried harder to once he realized his mistake. But, he groveled and bent over backwards to fix things with her. I kind of thought he was way too forgiving of h I liked this one but not as much as the first one. I kind of thought he was way too forgiving of her secret. Still, I did enjoy the story. I'm just not as forgiving of the type of secret the h had. Others love this storyline. Jul 13, Bev rated it liked it Shelves: I didn't like this one nearly as much as I did the first one. Because save me from TSTL bitches. She pulled the TSTL move more than once, gets the shit beaten out of her and all of a sudden she loves him.

Jul 18, Treena rated it liked it Shelves: I didn't like this one as much as the first book. As far as H's go, I thought Gage was great.

But I'll admit that I'm looking forward to reading about Mase next. He seems really fun. May 13, Nicla rated it really liked it Shelves: Engaging is a second chance love story. It was an easy and relaxing read that I thoroughly enjoyed. He has thought about her every day since then. After a chance encounter with Cassie he is out to win her heart back and prove he can be trusted with it. Cassie was heartbroken when Gage broke up with her to go on tour.

But she also has made a mistake and is keeping s 4. But she also has made a mistake and is keeping something important from Gage. When Gage tries to win her heart back she tries her best to protect it. He is definitely the highlight of Engaging. Gage is an alpha who knows exactly what he wants and will stop at nothing to get it. He could be sweet and understanding with Cassie but also a little bossy. I also liked the fact he was able to admit to his past mistakes. Cassie is a sweetheart. I would describe her as passionate and stubborn. If she just talked to Gage some of the dangerous situations she gets herself into could have been avoided.

I thought this was handled well. However I would love some more detailed scenes with Gage and Logan. I am a sucker for those type of moments hide spoiler ]. Overall, Engaging was a pleasure to read. But it might be considered safe with exception see spoiler below hide spoiler ] Angst Level: High Safety Group note view spoiler [ They are apart for 5 years. He has a few casual hook ups. Not a manwhore but not a saint either.

Reward Yourself

Busy raising a child and took her a while to recover from having her heart crushed. She does go out on 1 date in the beginning but Gage ruins that. When he see her again her never waivers and set out on proving he loves her and can be trusted not to break her heart. There is a scene where another OW rings and Cassie answers the phone and the OW claims to be his girlfriend. Apparently they hooked up 3 times a couple of months ago.

Apparently is was just a hook up and she knew that. It gets resolved pretty quickly.

I would say there is definitely some safety triggers in this book. View all 5 comments.

Apr 02, Auden Dar rated it really liked it. This book was recommended by a new friend on Goodreads. It was my first book by Sarah Curtis and it certainly will not be my last. Although the hero, Gage Hunter, was a rock star, I wouldn't classify this in that genre.

It is definitely romance book and there were several steamy scenes. It was a fun, easy and enjoyable read. One that can be devoured in an afternoon.

Their whirlwind romance ended abruptly when Gage decided to break up with her before he went on tour. After a few months, he realized his mistake and came back for her only to discover she had left college and disappeared.

Now five years later, Gage runs into Cassie at a party but before he can talk to her, she disappears Originally posted at SmexyBooks- http: Now five years later, Gage runs into Cassie at a party but before he can talk to her, she disappears again. I read book one, Alluring, earlier this year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Engaging is about second chances. As with book one, the romance is pretty straight forward in its reveal with a slightly off-center suspense subplot that is used to push our couple towards their HEA.

I had issues with the heroine. I never really connected with her. She makes some incredibly ignorant decisions from the moment Gage leaves her. When Gage re enters her life, in her need to punish Gage for his past decisions, she continues to make bad decisions that pretty much had me throwing up my hands in disgust. One decision in particular is unforgivable in my opinion. There are only two reasons to make the decision she made and neither of them were present. I liked the hero, Gage, much better. Besides being sexy, smart, and alpha; he readily admits to his mistakes.

He knew he was stupid for breaking it off with Claire before going on tour. He admits his fear got the better of him and when he sees her again, he does everything possible to make it up to her and prove to her he still loves her. It had only been two months. He could have found her if he really wanted to. The reconnection is slow going as Claire fights it every step of the way.

The chemistry is sizzling. Physically they have no issues at all. I personally felt Claire dragged it out for too long, inventing problems where there were none. Though Curtis uses it as a glaring plot device to push Claire forward in her life, she never belittles the issues nor uses the violence involved gratuitously.

The ending comes at us hard and fast, leaving little time to process. Curtis slams us into our happy place as the subplot and romance wrap up tightly leaving readers with no doubt Claire and Gage have found their happily ever after. Aug 02, C rated it really liked it.

I was sure he was out of my league, but I'd had just enough alcohol that things like that no longer seemed to matter. I'm not fat, mind you, but you can tell I like French fries, so there's that. He took me home and I enjoyed the hottest birthday sex of my life, well until it came to a screeching, and rather unwelcome halt.
