Raine Miller is friggin’ AWESOME. Not only can she write, I mean REALLY WRITE, she is “Momma Raine”. She is a caring, wonderful, down to earth woman who just takes everyone under her wing. And lets face it….she came up with Ethan Blackstone……..Mmmmmmmmmm…….Ethan Blackstone.
Raine Miller is the author of The Blackstone Affair series featuring elite security agentĀ David GandyĀ Ethan Blackstone, a sexy, dominant, British alpha millionaire , and Brynne, his ābeautiful american girlā. This novella series is totally panty melting, and has a great story packed into it.
Naked (The Blackstone Affair 1)Ā Brynne Bennett is living the good life. An American art student at the University of London and part-time photographic model, sheās putting her life back on track with school and lots of hard work. When ultra successful London businessman, Ethan Blackstone, buys her nude portrait, he isnāt taking ānoā for an answer. He wants Brynne in his bed and makes plans to keep her there no matter what. His dominant nature captivates and ensnares despite the demons she carries inside her. But there are secrets in this relationship. Huge ones. Can Ethan free Brynne from the past that has marked her? Will Brynne let him or will the specters tormenting her resurface to destroy them bothā¦
All In (The Blackstone Affair 2) Ethan Blackstone has problems. Heās broken the trust of the woman he loves and sheās left him because of it. Ethan isnāt giving up thoughāheās determined to get his girl back. Their passion together was explosive, but their secrets are even darker and more frightening. With political threats directed at Brynne, Ethan has no choice but to fight for her, to win her love, and to protect her from the very dangers that could take her away from him forever. Heās willing to risk everything to have Brynne and to keep her safe. Heāll go all inā¦Ā See my review here.Ā This book is told from Ethanās POV, making it a very unique book!
Eyes Wide Open (The Blackstone Affair 3) Coming May 14th, 2013Ā The third part in The Blackstone Affair series: A love on the brink of being destroyed. The fight of a lifetime to keep it alive.Big surprises are on the horizon for Ethan and Brynne as they struggle to adjust to what life has thrown at them. Demons from the past are threatening to destroy the passionate bond theyāve forged despite their vow that nothing will ever keep them apart. A truly devastating loss coupled with the promise of a new hope opens their eyes to what is most important, but is it possible for the lovers to move on from the painful histories that continue to haunt them? A stalker is still lurking in the shadows, plotting evil amidst the distraction of the 2012 Olympic games in London. Brynne and Ethan are on the cusp of losing everything as the stakes rise. Will they yield to circumstances beyond their control or will they give every ounce of fight they have left to save each other and win the ultimate prize of a life together?Eyes Wide OpenĀ is a passion-wrought story that shows us what pure love can achieve when tested and what the heart can accomplish despite danger and adversity.
āFuck, Iām sorry. I woke you up?ā I still felt disoriented but I was coming out of it quickly.
āItās all right. I wanted to wake you up before it gotā¦bad.ā She sounded sad to me and I could only imagine that sheād try to get me to talk about this dream like the last time.
āSorry,ā I repeated, feeling shamed for doing this shit again and disturbing her with it.
āYou donāt have to be sorry for having a dream, Ethan,ā she said firmly. āBut Iād really love it if you told me what it was about.ā
āOh, baby.ā I drew her close and smoothed over her head and hair with my hand. I pressed my lips to her forehead and inhaled. Just breathing in her scent helped me immensely, and the feel of her breasts against my thudding heart as I held her close to me. She was real, right here, right now. Safe with me.
I was hard now. Hot and hard against her soft skin. āIām still sorry for waking you up,ā I said tightly as my lips found hers. I plundered her mouth with my tongue, pressing in deep and forceful, determined to have more. Nothing could help me right now but Brynne. She was the only cure.
And I was sorry, but Iād been like this with her before. Waking in the night and needing sex to bring myself down from the hyper-anxiety of wherever Iād been in my dreams tonight.
āItās okay,ā she rasped against my mouth.
Her response emboldened me. Most everything she did turned me on. I liked to be dominant, but it thrilled me when Brynne assured me that she was willing, and desired me in the same way I did her. I instinctively knew she wanted me. It was just another form of the communication we had together. I wished all aspects of our relationship were so easy. The sex part we had figured out quickly from the very first. Yeah, the fucking had always been hot and wickedly good for us.
Raine Miller started out writing historical romances (but still with hot sex and alpha males). Her 2 historical novels actually tie into theĀ Ā The Blackstone Affair series, and Raine highly suggests you read both of them before reading Eyes Wide Open.
“I have interwoven parts of Ā His Perfect PassionĀ so thoroughly, in fact, that I am suggesting to fans that they read it BEFOREĀ Eyes Wide Open, The Blackstone Affair Book 3Ā comes out next month. Ā Trust me. Ā You will enjoy your reading experience so much more if youāve readĀ His Perfect Passion (and The Undoing of a Libertine)Ā first.Ā *winks*”
His Perfect Passion Ā Darius Rourke has long desired the beautiful and mysterious Marianne, seizing the opportunity to claim her when her family falls on hard times. Darius intuitively understands Marianneās need for direction and is willing to do anything to be the one to give it to her. What he doesnāt know is that submission is security for Marianne, helping her to cope with a sin from her past.
The wedding night confirms his virgin bride is the passionate woman Darius always dreamed she would be, but the more entangled they become, the harder it is for Darius to play the role of āmaster,ā for ultimately it will never give him that which he wants most of allāMarianneās love. A confrontation is due for Darius and Marianne who must both face the fears and painful secrets threatening to destroy their fragile love, their future together, and the perfect passion they both crave.Ā 99 pages.

The Undoing of a Libertine Erotic Historical RomanceĀ Self-serving libertine Jeremy Greymont likes his sex on the rough side and his women anonymous. Perfectly content milling along through life on an existence of courtesans and fine Scotch whisky, Jeremy has a naughty past and his own demons to contend with, but heās run out of time with his grandfather regardless. Jeremy needs an heirāposthaste. The lovely Georgina seems like the perfect answer to his predicament and intrigues him like no woman ever before. Jeremy canāt wait to get started on the baby-making and is even willing to tone down his preference for the wild romps heās always enjoyed. Thereās always time to teach her about that later, right?
But Georgina’s demons trump Jeremy’s in so many ways. A brutal assault has left her damaged and vowing she can be wife to no manānot even Jeremy Greymont. What is a libertine to do? 268 pages.
