Synopsis
The Cityscape Series tells a compelling story of devotion, deception, desire and ultimately, love. Start the trilogy people are calling “gripping,” “sexy” and “smart.” Now available as a complete set.
COME UNDONE Olivia Germaine has already found love. Devoted wife, loyal friend, determined career woman – she’s created the life she always envisioned. But when Olivia locks eyes with a handsome stranger across a crowded room, he peers a little too closely and sees emotions she thought she’d buried long ago. David Dylan, alleged playboy and eternal bachelor, challenges Olivia to confront the life she’s built and to make decisions that could either lead to happiness . . . or regret. Will Olivia be able to draw the line between lust and love? And can David respect that line?
COME ALIVE Determined to move on with her life, Olivia Germaine has vowed to forget David Dylan. Struggling to keep her head above water, she focuses on her new promotion and refuses to drown in the memory of him. But when Olivia realizes what life without David means, she must decide if she is willing to risk everything for him… and if she is ready to reopen the wounds of her past. Can Olivia move forward with her marriage despite her feelings for David? And can David stay away like he promised?
COME TOGETHER With a single decision, Olivia Germaine’s fantasy has become a reality. Now she is faced with two commitments: one she must make and one she must break. But in order to accept a love she never thought possible, Olivia will have to let go of the broken past that defines her – and of deeply-rooted fears that could ruin everything. Everything is what David Dylan wants to give her, and it’s what he wants in return. He must prove to Olivia that despite his playboy ways, he’s worth leaving behind the stable future her husband can offer her. David is a man who always gets what he wants . . . but this time he may be fighting for something unattainable. Can Olivia escape the past that threatens to consume her? And can David break through to her before it does?
Review
I have had the Cityscape Series on To Be Read list forever so, I was really looking forward to reading them. I had them recommended to me and added them to my TBR blindly. When I knew I was going to be reviewing them for the blog I immediately looked to see what exactly they were about, besides hot sex. I was immediately turned off after reading the synopsis. I do not like books about cheating spouses, usually. 😉 These books surprised the hell outta me. I was literally rooting for some adultery. I know, I know. That sounds crazy.
The first Book in this boxset, Come Undone, was my least favorite of the three. It was mostly background stuff and was basically spent describing Bill and Olivia’s mediocre marriage and un-orgasmic sex life. Also, in the book she meets David. The sexual tension was off the charts with these two immediately but not enough happened in Come Undone for me. It was really well written and the story was there, I just didn’t feel really invested in the characters like I wanted to be. Just when it started to get good…BAM. The end.
The second two books in this series, Come Alive and Come Together, were a complete different story. I freakin loved these books. They had everything the first one didn’t. They were angsty and steamy and had me ready to throw my kindle. Lord mercy, I was captivated. I picked them up and couldnt put them down. I was really pulling for David. He is alpha, sexy, and super possessive. Well, Olivia, you just pissed me off most of this series but it didn’t matter. The books were crazy good. I highly recommend, even if you are put off by the whole cheating thing.
