Publisher's Summary

Rapturous: Quantum Series, Book 4

The story begun in the initial Quantum Trilogy picks up on Oscar night after Academy Award-winning director Hayden Roth kisses the woman he desires above all others, even though he knows she can never be his. 

Addison York craves her boss’ best friend, Hayden, but he has never given her an ounce of encouragement - until tonight when he kissed her after winning the Oscar. Was that kiss the start of something or another in a long line of frustrations where Hayden is concerned? Something is keeping him from acting on the attraction that simmers between them, and Addie is determined to find out what it is. 

But when she stumbles upon the secret that Hayden, Flynn, and her other close friends have kept from her, will she allow hurt feelings to get in the way of true love? When Hayden won’t share his BDSM lifestyle with her, Addie decides to conduct her own research. Will she be intrigued or repulsed? And what will Hayden do when he finds out how she’s been spending her evenings?

Warning: If you hate foul-mouthed heroes who like it a little rough and dirty, this might not be the book for you.... Contains hot and sexy BDSM scenes among other things that might not appeal to the faint of heart. Enter at your own risk and enjoy the sensual indulgence of Hayden and Addie’s steamy story!

HOT STUFF!!

This book series is amazing! M.S. Force does a brilliant job of combining sex in a story but not losing the story. This series is HOT, Juicy and soo soo good! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

GREAT STEAMY ADDITION TO SERIES!

Addy and Hayden ' s story was even better than I had hoped it would be.

worth the wait

Could have been a touch longer, and one less narrower. loved the book, love the series, can't wait for more.

2.5 stars. I wanted romance.

This book is a departure from the first 3 novels in this series. Firstly, it’s a stand-alone, and secondly, there is little build-up to the love. The story begins with Hayden and Addie already secretly in love with each other (but they haven't told each other), and one of them makes a move on the other early in the book.

That Hayden and Addie are already in love, took away from my pleasure I gain from romance novels. I really wanted to see them fall in love, even if it was in flash back or some other method. Although they each believed themselves in love, I had no basis for this. As the romance build-up was virtually absent, this book became more about the sex. We all have our own definitions of romance and for some readers, good sex = romance. Not me. I felt I started this story at the half-way mark. It was well written, but I’d like to read the first part. I need a prequel novella! The falling in love part was done so well in the first novel, VIRTUOUS (Quantum Series Book 1) so I know the author can write romance.

This series of books is about a group of friends who like sex with a side of kink. The BDSM in these novels is mild. There is consent, care, and love throughout. Never is there action that is physically or mentally cruel or torturous. The heroes ease their women into their kinky lifestyle. Except Hayden doesn’t have “slow” mode. And Addie’s not prepared for his brand of lovemaking when they first become intimate. Her initial discomfort was a little difficult for me to read.

Be warned, this book has spoilers about the main plot points in the first 3 books in the series (they are about Hayden’s friends Flynn and Natalie). Intriguingly, that couple contribute points of view narrative and engage in sexy times (with each other) in this book RAPTUROUS. So if you have not read the first 3 novels, you might feel this couple is intruding on Hayden’s story.

I recommend the first 3 novels in the Quantum Series and RAVENOUS (Quantum Series Book 5) for the romance. And I'll be reading the remaining books in the series because despite my complaints, they are well written and enjoyable.

I listened on Audible and found the narrators’ performances were good.

MS FORCE DELIVERS A SWEET & VERY HOT LOVE STORY

For 10 years both Hayden and Addie have each secretly lusted, craved and fell hopelessly in love with each other but neither one acted on their deepest fantasies and heartfelt desires. No, never.... until the scorching hot kiss Hayden blew Addie's mind with at the Oscars and now she's finally going to do something about this soul deep longing she has for Hayden. But, as Addie's one of his few really close friends - and his best friend's PA, Hayden knows he daren't take their sizzling chemistry, friendship and obvious intense lust for each other to the next level. He knows he's no good for her, he's against commitment, has a secret life and just isn't prepared to take a chance. However, Addie is smart, knows her opponent and is determined to win Hayden's heart - but it's going to need some seriously sneaky planning to achieve her goal..... good job she's so organized, focussed and open minded..... because he's going to be a challenge.

A push/pull cat and mouse romance where Addie continually tries to pull Hayden into her loving arms.... but when the passion and sex educed haze clears Hayden still keeps pushing Addie away as he just can't see Addie accepting, and being a Sub, to his BDSM lifestyle. Because Addie is so blissfully naive as to what actually goes on in the secret underground Club nestled discreetly below the Quantum Building. However, did he explain or give her a chance?...no, so yet again, the strong-willed and determined cat sets a sneaky trap for her loveable, frustrating and unsuspecting mouse to walk right into..... but instead of a mouse she awakens a beautiful bossy beast.

Very enjoyable, two loveable characters who respect and talk honestly to each other, an easygoing often humorous but very very HOT storyline and there's various other secondary characters who drift in an out of scenes.... including the now happily married Flynn and Natalie from the previous books. This could be a standalone listen but you'd miss the back stories, no cliffhanger ending, dual POV's (occasionally more) and the male narrator was good but I didn't much like the female narrator's male voices..... however it didn't spoil the listen.

Worth a credit? If, or when, you find yourself in the mood for an Erotic light romance then this book fits the wish list.... a seriously sexy, charismatic, thoughtful and handsome Alpha Dom and a very determined woman who eagerly takes on ALL challenges (physical, mental and sexual) to prove her love.... and to prove to him that yes, he's worthy of being unconditionally loved..... and a forever HEA could be his. Yes, another creditworthy listen from M. S. Force and I'm eager to see who's next.

not my favorite.

Hero keeps giving up on the, and the heroine is the only one fighting for the relationship. I kept waiting for him to man up, but it never happened. it's wapy different from the way Flynn fought for and loved Natalie from the 1st 3 books.
it's exasperating.

Hayden and Addison

So this was the most wittiest story from the series. I loved how Addison kept challenging Hayden in order for him to reveal his feelings for her. The narrators is a phenomenal job.
