review 1: *Warning: I have already read the books I am covering, any and all posts may and do contain spoilers.Sex clubs, flogging, whipping, restraints, and ball gags… Do I have your attention? Yah, I thought so. You get this and so much more in Not in my Wildest Dreams. Besides just the kinky sex you get a deeper look into our beloved Jack: the young and dumb boy with a dream, the model, the friend, the student, the Dom, the Sub, and the business man. Izzy delivers another steamy read for book 2.In Not in my Wildest we see Jack take off for New York on his journey to success. He picks up without a second thought (much like Elizabeth did), and leaves behind everything he knows, even though his family doesn't approve. We get to find out more about him and “B” (Becca), how he f... moreinds BDSM and the relationship he and Becca have with this sexual culture. We see what makes the sexual sides of Jack tick. I love books with strong friendships and I was definitely a fan of the friendship between Jack and Becca. They help heal each other and explore their sexuality in the sex clubs of New York. I like the fact that the strong friendship was highlighted for Jack. In most books the strong bonds we read are the female characters friends. I also enjoyed that the friendship was between opposite sexes. Jack and Becca may have had a sexual relationship but I believe it was emotional (friendship wise) first and foremost. Even a lot of their sexual acts were really about emotion; neither one loved each other romantically and often times when they "played" or received "punishment" it was really about something emotional going on with them they were trying to work through.My one complaint about Not in my wildest dreams is I would have liked a lot more new material. The book was shorter and there were a lot of flashbacks from book 1. I would have liked less flashback and more new material. I can't get enough, alright?! :) I'm greedy. But if this is the only complaint I have for a full book, well I’d say I should probably shut up and stop complaining right now. So moving on…I guess we have to talk about him, even though he is probably the "type" of man that drives a lot of woman to this genre of books in the first place. Time to talk about Greg. He is a prude. Maybe that's just my anger talking. There is nothing wrong with not being into kinky sex or BDSM, but he has sex with his wife once a week on Friday. Not only that but I don't believe he had even noticed she had never had an organism with him, ever! He must have noticed the difference from their sexual act in book 1 at the hotel from what went on between them the last 20 years. He’s selfish and seems like a man who thinks woman are there only to be a stereotypical wife. He works too much and expects Elizabeth to be his personal maid, short order chief and arm candy for business and sporting events. Okay, enough about him. So long Greg!Excerpt:I remembered standing there in his foyer, the tears... flowing, the ache in my chest...unbearable. How could I have walked away? And returned to... this. A life with a husband who was apparently incapable of change. Oh Elizabeth... I hate to say it, but yah... I told you so. Those were my thoughts exactly when she left. In book 1 she walked away from a beautiful proclamation, a cardinal sin in my book. I'm glad she finally see's how crazy that was. During Ditching the Dream I was firmly on board Team Kevin. Kevin, I still have love for you but this new addition to the series helped me fall even more in love with Jack and more in love with Elizabeth and Jack. If you haven’t read the series I suggest you click straight from here to whichever site you buy your books from and order it now!
review 2: Izzy...Ohhh.Emmm.GeeeeeeeI've been Team Kevin all the way. To be honest, I wasn't too excited about Not In My Wildest Dreams coming out, knowing it was about Jack. But I loved Ditching The Dream, love your writing style, and of course I'm a BIG FAN. So, I'm going to buy your books no matter what!This....Isabelle Peterson....is my FAVORITE BOOK thus far in the Dream Series. Yeah, okay..there are only two books out. But still, this is by far my favorite. I am so In Love with Jack Stevens!! Can you believe it? I'm still Team Kevin, but at this moment, I'm Team Jack too.The emotional pull I felt inside my heart for his feelings for Beth are unexplainable. The idea of Jack...how strongly he feels for her, would do anything for her, adore her until the end of time...is pretty much every womans fantasy. And of course his experience *cough*, in the bedroom *cough*, isn't too bad either.Congrats Izzy on your continued success. I'm so happy for you. I look forward to Kevin's story. Is it possible to steal my heart completely away from Jack? ~ Carrie Schwitters less
