She’s
innocent. He’s not.
After
Olivia Brown’s parents unexpectedly die, she’s forced to leave a promising
career at the United Nations and return home to take care of her younger
brother and family home, the historic Rutherford Mansion Bed & Breakfast.
The
last thing she expects is to encounter the sexy and seductive Jed Carson, a
notorious playboy with a dark past who is bored with his life and in search of
a fresh start and new pleasures. He
secretly wants to buy the Mansion, and once he meets Olivia, he wants her.
What
begins as a lesson in sex and seduction turns into more after a seemingly
harmless therapy turns Jed’s life upside down, and a custody battle, pregnancy
and murder bring the pair closer together and change them forever.
In
the sequel “Side Effects”, Jed and Olivia are forced to flee the country and their
relationship heats up and takes an unexpected turn. From Jamaica to Brazil to New York, their
journey is packed with surprising twists, dark revelations and more erotic
encounters, and Jed’s decadent past tests their love and one secret will remain
buried forever.
Told
from the perspective of both the seducer and the seduced, “The Vitamin D
Treatment Series” will leave you wet with anticipation and asking “who’s
seducing who?”
Strong
sexual content and language.
Excerpt:
“You should know, Olivia, I heard everything,” he
murmurs, his voice low and silky.
Olivia glares at him, panic in her eyes. She places the drink on the coffee table and
drops to the sofa, lowering her head and covering her eyes with slender
hands. Can she be any more
miserable? Everything? Shit!
Jed sets the drink on the side table, rises slowly
and moves to the sofa. He sits close and
drapes an arm over the backrest behind her.
He cups her chin and forces her to look at him. “There’s nothing to be ashamed of, Olivia,”
he says softly, cocking his head to the side and smiling a knowing smile.
“I’m not,” she breathes, feeling that delicious
pull, her belly muscles tightening.
“Good. So
have you ever had an orgasm?”
Olivia blinks.
Jeez. She can’t believe
he’s asking–mentioning–saying it out loud.
She wants to be offended by the extremely inappropriate question, but
she can’t muster the emotion. Her brain
has left the building.
“Well?” he persists.
“No,” she mumbles miserably.
His eyes soften and he frees her chin. “What about when you’re alone, Olivia?” he
asks seductively, nuzzling his nose in her neck.
Jeez. Can she be more embarrassed? How can he sit there and calmly talk about
orgasms?
Jed rises slowly and moves back to the chair. He sits, picks up the drink, crosses a leg
over a knee and rhythmically runs an index finger back and forth over his lower
lip, his eyes locked on her. Although
seemingly cool on the outside, his insides are churning. Pure lust rages within him–combustible, overwhelming
desire. Fuck. He
has never felt like this before and he knows he’s playing with fire.
Olivia peeks up at him, her green eyes guarded. She will not admit to him that she
has never had an orgasm. Jeez. She gulps the rest of the drink and waits for
the fire to spread through her. “I bet
you can change that,” she says bravely, smiling a shy crooked smile.
Jed spits a mouthful of cognac back into the glass
and his eyes widen.
“You don’t know what
you’re saying, Olivia,” he warns harshly, his eyes black and impassive.
Olivia arches a brow–questioning him–daring him.
“You don’t know me, Olivia,” he smirks, continuing
to rub a finger over his lower lip, his brows furrowing.
“You don’t want me?” she squeaks, her heart in her
throat.
Olivia’s sweet innocence tugs at his heart and he
nervously rakes a hand through his hair.
He wants her bad.
“I
want you, Olivia. But I can’t promise
you anything,” he sighs.
“Can you promise me an orgasm?” she baits, her voice
quivering and she can’t believe the words came out of her mouth.
Excerpt:
Jed waits for her in their bedroom, running his
hands through his hair and pacing anxiously.
He has a lot to do and ticks through the list in his head, but when
Olivia enters the room, peeking shyly at him with those beguiling green eyes,
he is overcome by a primitive desire–an overpowering need–and he wants to fuck
her–hard, his
cock hardening with anticipation. He
decides the plan
can wait, turns on the TV, sets the volume low and approaches her
slowly.
“Olivia,” he murmurs, backing her against the wall
and sniffing her hair. “You’re so
beautiful…”
Olivia’s pulse races and she locks eyes with
him–dark chocolate magic–and her insides tense.
“I want to fuck you,” he whispers, his lips grazing
hers. “Can you be quiet? Can you be absolutely silent?”
Her brows crease, doubting that’s possible,
and he braces his hands on the wall and pins her to it.
“If you moan and groan and grunt, I won’t fuck you,”
he warns silkily.
She wriggles against him and protests, “I don’t
grunt.”
He snorts and arches a brow, planting a gentle kiss
on her nose. “Okay, you don’t grunt,” he
says softly, smiling his rare, dazzling spine-tingling smile.
Olivia trembles and every sinew below her waist
aches with want. She wraps her arms
around his neck and her lips seek his, but he pulls back and his dark eyes
scorch into her.
“Can you do it, Olivia? Can you be quiet?” he breathes huskily.
Olivia nods robotically, mesmerized by the wicked
gleam in his eyes, and he cups her face, kisses her soundly and grinds the hard
bulge beneath his jeans against her. She
suppresses a moan, but as his velvety tongue explores her mouth and his warm
hands slip under the robe and burnish her flesh, caressing her breasts and
tormenting her nipples, she doesn’t know if she can keep her promise.

My Review: 4 1/2 stars
This series was just fantastic. I will admit that when I came to the end of the first book I was pissed because of the cliffhanger - because it was major!! Luckily, I'm reading the set, so I was able to continue on. Thank the gods! I don't know what I would've done if I had to wait to find out what happens. There is so much that goes on in this series. Right from the start Jed and Olivia are attracted to each other, and the intensity of that attraction just keeps building. It doesn't matter after they have sex the first time, whatever it is that they have together only builds. I loved Jed's dominance of Olivia. I think that was kind of a natural thing, because she was so innocent when they met, and well, he wasn't. I loved that in the second book in this series we get to see Olivia grow as a person and that both her and Jed fight for their relationship. I also really appreciated that the second book, Side Effects, picked up right where the first left off. That's not always a given, and I liked that. Throw in the ex-girlfriends, plot twists and unexpected happenings with completely unexpected people, being on the run, and this was a great read from start to finish.

Julia did a fantastic job keeping me well entertained throughout both books with the fantastic story line, and characters that I could connect with. Loved this series! It had a little bit of everything and a lot of sex. Those scenes were great from the beginning of the series to the end. I'm going to see if I can find more from Julia, and definitely keep an eye out for her in the future.
