I don't know if it was because I haven't read the other books in the series but I struggled to finish this and ultimately DNF'd it

I have to admit, I did feel somewhat lost when I first started this book, as I didn't realise it was in fact the third book within a series. This is obviously no reflection on the author at all, just a simple mistake made by myself.

This book is certainly not your typical erotica fiction, as there is a strong, intriguing storyline to accompany it. The plot is great and the book is written wonderfully and in a way that truly grasps the readers attention from the start..
I really liked the authors writing style, and the unique characters in which they had created. I will be going back to the beginning of this series so I can fully embrace this brilliant book!.

Unfortunately, this was hard to get into and then I discovered this was the third book in a series. I need to start at book one to get a better understanding. My apologies for not realizing the discrepancy.

Honestly I couldn't tell you what happened in this book. The plot was practically pointless, but I guess we're not reading this for an exciting storyline! HA!

I do wish i'd read the other two books though so I could have got a better understanding of what was going on and the breakdown in relationships for some of the main characters. I definitely wouldn't recommend this as a standalone feature!

However, some of the scenes were definitely well written, and not repetitive which is impressive for this genre.

This is book 3 in a series. It has an ensemble of characters. The first half of the book seemed more focused on the business dealings. There were elements of bdam and steamy scenes. Overall, I liked it. I wish I had read the first two books before this one. At times, the business dealings seemed to go on and on.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair review.

This is the 3rd book in the series and I do recommend reading them in order. This is a fast-paced read with lots of twists and turns, plenty of drama and steam. The characters have lots of depth and the story is entertaining with lots of emotion. I really liked it.

I want to thank NetGalley, the publisher, and author Martin Morton for providing me with an ARC of Careless Hours.

I am kicking myself for not realizing this was part of a series sooner! But alas, that is my fault and I still very much so enjoyed reading this novel.

Usually when you think of the erotic fiction genre, you don't expect to see a solid story line laid out. This book was the beautiful exception! There were more love scenes than you could count, and you actually found yourself bonding to the characters within. I really enjoyed this and will now be going BACK to the first two novels in the series! *smacks head*

Thank you again to those named above for the chance to read and review this novel!

I felt so lost and confused when I started reading this book. I felt like I had been thrown into a story that had already started. Overall, it was possible to read it as a stand alone, but I felt like I was missing background information that was never fully discussed. It wasn't until after I finished the book and looked at the author that I realized this is the third book in a trilogy. I received an advanced reader copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When I selected the book I did not know that it was part of a series. Knowing that helped me realize why I felt so confused. If you had not read the previous books I would recommend reading those first.

This is not a stereotypical erotica fiction book. There is an actual storyline, with a fantastic plot and it is well written. It's not what I would throw into the category of "trash romance" That is just pages and pages of love scenes. This book tells the story of characters who work hard and play harder. If you enjoy erotica fiction but you want an actual story to follow, then this is the book for you. I loved the author's writing style and look forward to reading more. I'm also planning on going back and reading the first two books in this series.
