Official Review: Lara's Journal by A. Gavazzoni

Post by Ju4dy2 »

I wasn't entirely sure that I wanted to read this book until I read your review. I even downloaded the first book and will start with one. Thank you for the review! I'm looking forward to reading both of these books!

Lara's Journal by A.Gavazonni is thrilling erotic romance at it's best. Simone Bennet is on a long vacation, trying to heal from the trauma she suffered at the hands of a serial-killer kidnapper. After looking death in the face, she tries to develop a new outlook on lifelive in the moment.

Carl, the charming lawyer, is back, asking once more for Simone’s help, this time in analyzing Lara’s journals, which were discovered by her siblings after her death. In her own words, Lara divulges all her secrets, and reveals a dramatic world of betrayal, passion, and the most unusual sexual behaviors, exposing the beautiful architect’s troubled life.

As Simone tries to deal with the contents of Lara's haunting diaries, one of her patients gets himself into a bit of legal trouble, forcing Simone to return early from her vacation. Although she's happy to be back on her home turf, she finds herself surrounded by a whole new set of problems.

A killer is out there, and this time, he seems to be after the people Simone cares about most. Suddenly, people around her are dying, a stalker/admirer keeps showing up at all the wrong times, and Simone’s dear friend Edward has a new girlfriend—forcing Simone to analyze her feelings for him and her attraction to Carl.

Highly recommend you read this series, it is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat, and your heart pounding the whole way through.I rate it 4 out of 4 because of well story line.

Those sleepless nights should have been really enjoyable ones judging from your review. I guess I better start of with the first book, and the story seems to be intriguing, filled with passion. Thanks for the review!

I was able to read "Behind the Door" and found the story compelling. I didn't care so much for the excessive graphic sex scenes (including BDSM) though. I hope this one's not overflowing with the same.

Thanks for your review. It's good to know that it helps to read the first book before this one. This genre isn't really my cup of tea though. Glad you really enjoyed it!

This review makes me want to read the story. By mentioning that is part II, it makes it seem as if the first book was good and will leave readers wanting more. I also like that you mention the flip/flop writing style. Some readers do not like this, donut is a good heads up! Your description of the story gives adequate detail for allowing readers to determine if it is something that would be interested in without giving away the whole story.

Who keeps a journal on what serial killers do? That's definitely intriguing. Thank you for your review. I would check this out later.

Thanks for the very thorough Review. It sounds pretty intriguing, but I don't know if I'm quite impressed enough to find book one and start with it, though you said it's great, as well. I'll mull it over.

Well thought out and wonderful review. I congratulate you for that and it seems you really enjoyed the book and the way you come out would even cause those of us who were not interested to think twice and go for it.

Latest Review: Who Told You That You Were Naked? by William Combs

Post by Nwonye Obini »

Several reviews about sex stories have come up in recent weeks. I urge my fellow readers to look into the subject of sex closely. This is the only way we can reap the benefits it offers and avoid the consequences of its abuse.

In fact, in my opinion, it is good to inform people who are not yet of legal age of these benefits and the dire consequences if one does it wrong.
