Book Blurb:
After a rapid change in management, Natalie Hall is surprised to find that she’s being promoted so quickly. But when it becomes obvious that the new CEO is interested in her on a more personal level, she pushes him away — she doesn’t want to repeat her past mistake of giving her heart to the wrong man.A self-made billionaire, Alex Damon has his own reasons for pursuing Natalie. Her adoptive father, a powerful U.S. senator, is using his political clout to protect his friends the Rodales, who Alex intends to destroy for ripping his own family apart when he was a child. Furthermore, he suspects that Natalie is spying for the Rodales.What he hasn’t planned on is her unflinching sense of loyalty and integrity, the sizzling attraction between them that threatens to turn into something much more, and the dark secrets that can destroy them both.
The Review:
Stella’s thoughts:
I can only tell you my story: on my way to an exam preparatory course I started reading Carnal Secrets, thinking it would be a good way to keep busy on the bus ride, well the story (and mostly the characters) sucked me in so intensely, that I only stopped reading while I went up the stairs, but unfortunately haven’t heard a word in that course as I was too busy devouring Nadia Lee’s novel in the back of the classroom. The outside world just ceased to exist for me I was so immersed in Alex and Natalie’s world, I was possessed by Carnal Secrets and that’s all thanks to Nadia Lee’s wonderfully fluent and brilliantly intense writing!
I have difficulty telling you everything this novel made me feel. I loved every single minute of reading it! I love emotionally intense and charged stories and this one didn’t spare the reader! I love to be involved in the story and Nadia Lee pulled me in right from the start. Even after I have finished and turned the last page, I kept feeling the lingering aftermath of the story, and even now, just thinking about Carnal Secrets, I get goosebumps. Yes, it was that good! *dreamy sighs*
Lea’s thoughts:
I don’t know about the rest of you who commit to read and review books but occasionally I get darn tired but know I have to keep pushing because otherwise I’ll be so behind it will be a stressful “going down for the third time” situation. It was on such a day (I was also extremely grouchy I might add) that I opened Carnal Secrets on my e-reader and to be honest I was expecting to be underwhelmed. Well, I will say right now, I ate crow after I read Nadia Lee’s story non-stop because once I started I couldn’t put it down. I’m sure I will be unable to do this awesome, multi-layered, emotional story justice in a review, however, here it goes…
Ms. Lee writes with a lovely, articulate, sensual prose, and the graphic imagery in this story can only be described as stellar. She drew me into each scene that advanced a plot involving a passionate tempestuous romance, manipulation, treachery, corporate espionage, and, carnal secrets.
