Exceptionally written!

This is M.S. Force's first book in the erotic romance department and I've always believed her writing style was very unique. She makes you want to laugh, cry, scream and just awww in all her books and this new series is no exception. If you haven't read a book yet by Marie Force you don't know what you're missing.

Natalie and Flynn's relationship moves at a very fast pace but her tragic past doesn't. It's a very well developed story line, with strongly written characters that you can't help but get pulled into. Once you start reading the book you won't want to put it down.

Listening to the audio version is just awesome and I love the dual narration. Both Cooper North and Brooke Bloomingdale bring Marie's passionate words to life.

Falling in Love with this Story

What can I say about Natalie, Flynn and Fluff. This little trio, their friends and families have come to be some of my favorite characters. Natalie has had such a difficult life, her dog, Fluff, bites the world famous movie star, Flynn, and passion ensues. Natalie is a strong, sexy resilient woman. She was traumatized as a teenager and her world was destroyed. She pulls her self back together and puts her world back together. For Flynn it’s love at first bite. He has a secret he keeps from all but his closest friends, but he wants Natalie. Flynn is a sexual dominant. Natalie has given up on sex forever and when Flynn falls for her he swears he can put his dominant side aside. His dominance wrecked his first marriage and he can’t let it interfere with this second chance because he knows she is “the one”. As Flynn and Natalie fall deeper in love secrets come out and hearts may be broken. I can’t remember when I have fallen for characters so fast in a long time. This book is hot and sexy and sweet. I listened to this book on audiobook and the narration by Brooke Bloomingdale and Cooper North is excellent. Their work truly added a different dimension to the story and I fell in love with them.

WHAT A DELICIOUS, HOT, TASTY MORSEL THIS IS

I haven't listened to any of this Author's books by her other name of Marie Force but after this captivating, addictive and unstoppable listen, which lost me a night's sleep, I'll be checking them out. The Publisher's Summary pretty much sums up the storyline and all you can do is hold on and listen to a beautiful story that has a very very sexually damaged Natalie literally falling at the feet of Flynn who's a handsome, successful movie star with the title of Sexiest Man Alive who sees the innocence and normality in Natalie and, like a refreshing change of pace, her rarity calls to him. But, as they fall head over heels, Flynn's plagued with doubts about his secret BDSM life choice and teeters back and forth about which love he should or could give up.

It's a totally unrealistic Cinderella type whirlwind romance and I loved every minute of it, couldn't stop listening as his patience, thoughtfulness and sexual pull eventually had Natalie (and me) panting for more more more. And, as the dreaded cliffhanger exploded and chaos took the place where happiness once lived, I know the wait to hear answers and revelations will be blissfully short.... just one week, then one week for the finale.... genius!

Dual POV's, no problems with the dual narrators who did a great job in portraying a skittish Schoolteacher with secrets and a haunting past and an Actor who's humbled and is trying to follow his heart rather than his libido.

Worth a credit? If you're a romance lover who can stray from the path of realism and you're not shocked at hot sex and would enjoy Flynn's erotic BDSM dreams where he's introducing Natalie to his preferred sexual lifestyle then you'll be rewarded with a trilogy that's going to be filled with drama, angst, passion, heartache, romance, the promise of hot sex and who knows what else. Yes this is creditworthy and I've already preordered the other two books in this trilogy while they're on sale at under $10 each IMO that's a bargain not to be missed.

A whirlwind romance.

This book is not a stand-alone - it’s one of 3 (a serial) about Flynn – a movie star; and Natalie – a teacher. I bought all 3 novels (on Audible) but I also have VIRTUOUS on Kindle. All the novels are full length, and on Audible each book takes 9 listening hours. I binged for 27 hours.

In this first novel, we experience the beginnings of Natalie and Flynn’s sweet, whirlwind romance. Yes, I said sweet, as the couple only has a vanilla relationship in this book. The author weaved her tale in a way that sucked me in – the initial meeting, the attraction, the resistance, angst, and a lovely slow-burn to gradual love and sex. I found myself riveted by the good narration and the good writing (with a few exceptions*).

*exceptions:
sometimes Flynn sounded like a woman in his thoughts/speech; and
this novel only spans the course of a few weeks within which the couple believes they are in love – but I thought Natalie was star-struck and Flynn was possessive. I still enjoyed it though!

MILD SPOILERS FOLLOW:

Possible triggers:
The issue of rape is addressed; and
Kinky sex or BDSM is a big theme (but it’s not related to the rape).

This series of books (6 books so far), is about a group of friends who like sex with a side of kink. The BDSM in these first 3 novels about Flynn and Natalie is mild. There is consent, care, and love throughout. Never is there action that is physically or mentally cruel or torturous. In this first book, VIRTUOUS, however, there was only one sex scene with kink, and it was a detailed dream. I felt the scene was gratuitous and redundant. However, I still enjoyed this book. So if you are expecting a lot of kink, you won't find it in this book. It comes later in this couple's sexual journey.

If you are not sure you want to invest your time and money at this stage in these 3 books about one couple, I can recommend Marie Force's RAVENOUS (Quantum Series Book 5), a stand-alone which I read first out of order, and because I enjoyed that, I came back and tried the first 3 books. I recommend them.

Nice Trilogy! 4.5 for sure!

This is the review for all three books:

This trilogy has a little something for everyone…Natalie Bryant has a secret that no one can know, not even her closest friends…now generally I would have stopped the book right there, but I have to admit the “secret” was vital to the story and if I were in her shoes I wouldn’t have told anyone either! Her secret has controlled her life, but she has started over, she is a school teacher in New York, has a great friend/roommate and she loves her life….but she didn’t know what was missing until Mega Movie Star Flynn Godfrey stumbled into her life.

Flynn is a successful movie star, from a family of successful movie stars and he has been burned by love before! Telling your wife you want some kink in your life and having her turn on you calling you a pervert and then sleeping with your director, well it’s enough to have a man swearing off marriage forever, which he has, and publicly! While filming in the park a woman runs through his set, chasing a dog, and he is slammed with the knowledge that he CANNOT let her go…he doesn’t know why, but he has to know her. Natalie has spent a long time getting her life in order, and slamming into Flynn could derail everything…she isn’t open to ANY man’s affections, and she won’t break that vow to herself, even for this movie star.

Hence starts the world wind romance that is the Natalie and Flynn story. It has some rough beginnings…I especially liked when Natalie informed Flynn that she really didn’t care WHO he was, she wasn’t sleeping with him. Nice change of pace from insta-love BS we sometimes read. Their relationship has ups and downs with some kink thrown in…I won’t spoil the story but it was a nice journey to take with two people trying to make things work. It didn’t all go perfect, but life isn’t perfect.

Really liked the narration, A+ on that. Only got 4.5 stars because things felt a bit implausible in book 1, but books 2 and 3 really did make up for it. I felt like I took the journey of their relationship with them and was happy to have known these characters. Can’t wait for more books about this Quantum world!

Awesome Series!!! I want MORE Quantum

WOW! This was on heck of a trilogy!!! Simply awesome!!

My review for the entire series...

Book 1: I have to admit after reading all the reviews I was excited for this listen... BUT, I was not expecting to completely be wrapped up in Natalie and Flynn the way I was... I got pissed at Flynn when Nate did, I got confused at Nate when Flynn did... I was up and down just like the characters...but the ending... C'mon!!!

Book 2: Ok... since I waited till all three books were out before I even started listening, I didn't feel the weeklong Cliffhanger effects of book 1; however, I was pleasantly surprised how quickly this book moved along... It jumped right into the thick of the story... which was great...

Book 3: AWESOME!!! Finally Flynn has to let Nate know about his true nature... and I loved every single minute of it... Great BDSM action... Now that I think back, Flynn would let his dommy side emerge every now and then, but in this book he finally can be him self... BUT "The words, I need to hear the words" literally drove me batty!!! LOL... but this series is hands down int he realm of 50 shades, This Man, All or Nothing, Bare to You and YES... Knight and Play... Not like any of these series as it is a rip off, but most definitely will be in my Kindle Library right next to some of the great Romances, Book Boyfriends of all times!!!

I want to hear more from Quantum so bad... I have to have Abby and Hayden's story... It is a must!!!

Narration was well... I hate... HATE dual narration unless it is done like the female read all female parts and male read all male parts, simultaneously!!!! If not.. well then I pretty much wont like it... but this was ok... both narrators were superb... but eh! Just get one narrator who can do male and female voices, or do Dual Narration the right way!! But this is my thoughts... Lol..:)

Great Buy, Credit or Sale... It's a must if you are a vivid romance listener!!

Great book with and actor and normal everyday woman.

I love this books and this book has it all romance, action and adventure. I can't wait to listen to the next in the series. However the only downside is you have to buy the next book to finish and section on the series.
