review 1: Substitute was an interesting read. I didn't thought I would read that kind of story and I was greatly surprised by how everything went (well and not) in this book. I didn't have any expectation, but honestly after reading the blurb I could only imagine what kind of story I would be confronted too!At first, I found Alexia quite moving. The prologue informs the reader about Alexia's mental and physical state of fragility. I was quickly attached to her during those first famous pages. Then quickly, this story begins with a steamy and quite sexy scene where Alexia is only a witness, but you can imagine what will happen through the book after this incredible scene. Everything starts from there. Alexia will fall in love with her boss Nathan (whom she doesn't know at all), but... more she keep an open door for possible adventure she might have with fellow worker and/or friends.Alexia is a funny mix of believable and unbelievable character. She craves Tony's touch and advance, but also ‘‘plays'' the ice maiden. Which is understandable after what she has been through with her ex? She wants to go forward with her life and sex life but the only one who shows interest isn’t the one she truly need and wants. The reader will learn that Nathan was hurt in the past by an ex-lover and he won't give Alexia the attention she truly needs. Which will tear them apart (emotionally) for mostly the entire book?Isobel Rey has a great writing hands and her imagination and creativity is sexy as hell. Rey knows how to crank me up! These sexy scenes are crazy, intense and only teasing me! I could easily imagine them into my mind. This was great until Alexia start to back off. I would have love to read about Alexia and Nathan a bit more or sooner. Rey gave us a ''Happy Ending'', but Alexia and Tony's relation is the thing that stands in my mind. I can't even recall a special sex scene between Alexia and Nathan, their relation come up too late and I was a bit disappointed by it. Overall, Substitute was an interesting read. I would love to read a sequel with more information on Alexia and Nathan' relationship. I recommend this title to the romance lover who craves books that will make your heart beat faster!
review 2: I really liked this book because it had a plot. Not a thin excuse for stuffing lots of sex in every chapter like some of the erotica I've read (or thrown across the room after 3 chapters). Having said that, the erotic scenes were seriously good, all the better because they drove the plot forward. The characters were interesting and sexy and I loved the heroine. I loved the way she fights with herself over who she will give in to, the man she is falling for or the man who seems to be able to manipulate her. Seriously good and seriously hot. less
