4 Stars!Opulence is the first book in Angelica Chase’s new three-part novella series entitled The Excess. I am a fan of this author and was very much looking forward to this novella. Frankly, even if I had never heard of this author I still would have wanted to pick this up. She had me at “FILTHY EROTIC ROMANCE”. Yup, I am easy like that. ;) Thirty-one year old Nina Scott went from living a boring, married and peaceful life in middle class suburbia to one of extreme wealth practically over [...]

This was the first book I've read by this author, but definitely won't be the last. 'Opulence' was a sexy tale of debauchery and betrayal. While this story might be difficult for some, as it contains taboo elements such as adultery, I loved every sordid detail!Nina, our heroine, is strong-minded and independent. A self-made millionaire, she doesn't need a man to pay her way through life. She learned after her marriage fell apart, just how little she desired to be permanently tied to a man.Nina's [...]

4 stars!Angelica Chase writes outside of the box. I loved her first set of serials and how they weren’t your average romance. This new set of serials seems to be no different. They are in fact very different from her last stories, but still- not your average romance. I love not knowing if I’m supposed to love a character or not. About not knowing whats going to happen. In a romance genre with so many predictable stories, it’s such a refreshing change. Nina is a heroine who is fed up with t [...]

But after recently taking a dive into Love Triangle city [...]

5 StarsOMG. I need a fan. Seriously. That just may have been the sexiest, most alluring book I've ever read. And that ending?! BAM! Holy Hell! Not only did the author write a book that is (wonderfully) full of sexy times, she also managed to create a set of compelling and complex characters. An amazing feat, considering the length of this book. The plot is still developing - but there clearly is one & it seems interesting. The bit of story laid out here hints at more great things to come! OK [...]

3.5 StarsI was trying to figure out where this story was going, but oh that cliffy! I enjoyed reading Sexual Awakening so I was really excited to receive an arc for this one. It was hard to get into at first. I found it difficult to sympathize with the heroine Nina Scott. Also, the first half of the book is very wordy, and it describes her opulent wealth maybe just a little too much. But toward the ending, I started to like Nina a bit more. I know this part one was a series starter, so even thou [...]

Book one of the Excess series is full of twists and turns so I am going to give you the rundown on the feels to avoid giving even the smallest detail away. OMG. So at first, I am lusting after Devin and all his alpha, demanding behavior and then I’m all, whoa where did Devin go? Then enter mister, cool. Panties dropped. It was instant love. Like, marry me now and have my babies. I was completely lost in this story. The end. I died. I wanted more – I tapped on my kindle edge like a new page w [...]

4 Naughty Girl Stars!I loved Angelica Case's first serial Sexual Awakenigs, so when I was approved for an ARC on NetGalley I couldn't have been more thrilled.

She's not had the best of luck when it comes to men. Her ex-husband cheated on her. Then she finds out that the guy she fell for, Devin, is actually married. Somehow he failed to mention [...]

4.5 "I think about fucking" stars (that line had me roaring)Not only did my GR friends reviews have me salivating to start this series, but the disclaimer pointed straight at my inner deviant shouting READ THIS NOW!If you are not a fan of cursing, erotic and extremely explicit sex, cheating, immoral behavior, dysfunction or sexual scenarios that may make you feel uncomfortable this is not the series for you. FILTHY EROTIC ROMANCENina is living an uncomfortable life. She’s new to money, and has [...]

4.25 "Naughty" Stars. In Opulence, we are introduced to Nina, Devin and Aiden. Nina is a self-made woman trying to fit in a foreign world of opulence. Devin is a successful wealth/investment banker with dark hair and deep blue eyes who exerts sexual dominance over Nina. To say Nina and Devin are sexually compatible is an understatement. However, there are circumstances that prevent Nina and Devin from being completely together. “That made me a fool. It made me completely blind. I was lovesick [...]

We inhaled this series in one go! We couldn’t put it down.This is a SPOILER FREE REVIEW for the COMPLETE EXCESS SERIES“Your misery makes you beautiful.”We were lucky; we read this trilogy in one hit so avoided the waiting after a couple of cliffies. This story does not do what it says on the proverbial tin. It had twist, turns and a few errr wtf moments. It was erotic suspense with various levels of kink. The covers drew us in and the synopsis sounded promising so we jumped straight into t [...]

I had my difficulties with this book, but to be fair it is my fault because I didn't read the warning. So please before you read it, read the warning under the blurb (", immoral behavior, dysfunction"). Despite my struggle at the beginning I enjoyed this short and hot read.(view spoiler)[This book is about Nina Scott, a 31 years old self made millionaire who is sad and bitter about the way her life turned out.After the divorce of her (cheating) husband, she starts a "relationship" with Devin McI [...]

"Fucking ride it," he ordered, digging his fingers into my hips.What a way to be introduced to the writing of Ms. Angelica Chase as an erotica/smut reader, that I am, this is right up my alley.Nina Scott a self-made millionaire; divorce from a good-for-nothing husband; have a lover who is a married man. In spite of all her money Nina is a lonely woman.Materially Nina couldn't ask for anything more, in a snap of a finger she can have whatever she wants. She tried to blend in with the rich and fam [...]

The novella description warns that if you are not a fan of erotic sex then this is not the series for you. If you look up the word “erotic” in a thesaurus you find synonyms such as “seductive,” “sensual,” “hot,” “steamy,” “filthy,” and “kinky.” If you add “well-written” then you perfectly describe Opulence. Right off the bat you know this is no fluffy chic-lit. The story opens with scorching hot this-is-wrong-I-shouldn’t-like-it sex between Nina and Devin.Nina i [...]
