Beyond Innocence

Jared and Lili, I had a hard time starting this one not for the reason you might think this is one of my favorite series. it was also one of my bestfriends. she passed a few weeks after we bought this installment so i had a hard time picking it up.

Jared and Lili connect in a very slow and seductive relationship. I liked that they danced a little before the main event, so to speak. Jared is a master at sex, and Lili hasn't a clue what it's like to feel, but she's willing to learn and trust. I liked these two together, especially with how everything started out with them (oh, the piano) but somehow this relationship never achieved the ardor I was expecting. There's a great scene when Rachel invites Jared and Lili over for dinner, and yet I thought something was missing in this story. Yes, there was lots of sex, but the passion between Jared and Lili could have burned a little brighter for me, especially after he wakes her up to feeling.

I've loved this series from the beginning and will continue to wait anxiously for each new romance and a visit with old friends from previous books in the series. I liked Beyond Innocence, it just isn't my favorite in the series. It's still an exciting world to spend a few hours.
