Katherine Regina Vandercamp has everything. Wealth. Beauty. Social standing. She’s the heiress to the Vandercamp fortune and engaged to the man of her dreams. One night it all shatters…
Finding her fiancé with another woman, she is distraught and makes a reckless decision to go with a friend to a sex club. Needing total anonymity, she has sex with a stranger in a room of total darkness, a sensuous cocoon of silky shadows. She has no idea who this man is or what he looks like. But it is in the shadows she finds solace. In the shadows she finds bliss.
She can’t forget this stranger’s touch, his taste, his scent. He infiltrates her dreams and holds her thoughts and body captive. But has she made a false assumption about her fiancé? Was he truly unfaithful? She regrets her hasty actions and is tormented by guilt. She is determined to marry the man she loves and forget her stranger.
Sinister events unfolded at the sex club. There was a gruesome murder and her stranger has been charged with the crime. Katie knows he’s innocent because she was with him at the time of the murder. She is more shocked to find that he’s not a stranger after all. What will she do? Will she reveal her horrible secret? Will she besmirch the Vandercamp name? Will she risk losing the man who has her heart to save the man who’s touched her soul?
Her life is in turmoil. All because of that one night.
A night that was wrapped in shadows…
“Lisa Eugene is one of my top 10 authors. She writes some wicked good mystery-suspense-erotica that I LOVE! Gah it’s so good!” – Taryn Lee’s Book Blog
“From the moment I picked it up until the very last word was read, Wrapped In Shadows held me captive- I just couldn’t put it down!” – Kris Walker, Goodreads
He was drawing me in and I was powerless to stop it.
It seems like Lisa Eugene has herself a winning formula with her books. She takes a super quirky heroine, some verra sexy steam, throws in some intriguing suspense and mystery and VOILA! You have yourself a book that you’ll enjoy from beginning to end.
One night of shadows. One night of bliss. One night it all fell apart.
Katherine is a woman that seemingly has it all. The heiress to the Vandercamp fortune, she has the social standing, the wealth, the doting fiance, and loving parents. Well…2 out of 4 ain’t bad. Since she just found her fiance half naked in their apartment with his ex and her mother is pretty much a cold bitch.
After running out after finding her fiance with his ex that was wearing his shirt…and only his shirt, she’s heartbroken. She needs to take her mind off of it. Off her her pain. Off of her mostly unfulfilled desires. So what’s the best way of doing this? Convincing her best friend into getting her into one of the most exclusive sex clubs in town, of course.
In the safety of dark shadows and extremely talented but mysterious male hands, Katherine finds the kind of passion she’s never even dreamed about.
You heard the man! My vagina sighed.
Did I happen to mention Katherine’s adorably quirky habit of talking to her vagina?
I don’t think anyone but Lisa Eugene could pull something like this off. In Steal My Heart she gave us an adorable germaphobe nurse. In Wrapped in Shadows we get Katherine’s vagina conversations. I have to admit that I found myself giggling like an idiot whenever I’d read her internal monologue. It was cute and funny.
Well…
That should help right?
I will not tell you the name of the hero, and I don’t recommend reading many reviews before diving into this book. Half the fun is the mystery of who it is and finding out. But here I go, digressing again.
The rules of the evening were simple; anonymity. Total and complete. After all, if anyone were to find that the socialite running one of the most successful charities went to a sex club, her reputation would be ruined. It was only supposed to be dark, shadows, and intense orgasms…until murder was thrown into the mix.
The one thing that I really liked about this book was the unpredictability of it. You’re lead to believe one thing, be so sure of it, only to be thrown for a loop. Lisa Eugene leads you up to the most obvious conclusion thinking you know what’s going on and who’s behind it, only to rip the rug out right from under you. I loved that added element of the suspense and mystery.
Did I also mention the absolutely delicious mystery hero?
But I’m still not giving you his name.
But I will tell you that he has some moves.
Mine! Mine! My greedy vagina chanted. Ours, I corrected again. And if you start referring to his dick as ‘precious’, we are no longer related.
But I digress yet again. This was an entertaining read, though at times Katherine did some things that seriously had me shaking my head and then wanting to shake some sense into her.
As far as steam goes? You’ll get that and then some.
So why not 5 stars? I felt that there was something at the end with the revelation of the bad guy that was a little glossed over. I really thought that the motivation behind the actions of someone involved was pretty detrimental to explain, yet it was brushed aside. Considering WHO that person was, I really needed the explanation or their motivation behind their action. It almost seemed to rush through the ending after that big revelation climax.
But that aside and a few times where I wanted to slap Katherine, this was a solid 4 star read that I’d gladly recommend for any readers that like their suspense with a whole lot of steam.
Thanks for the great review!
Great review! Loved the book!
