to know about her own sexuality, but that was before one night of animalistic
passion with the ultra gorgeous and mysterious Jaron Rose. Tall, blond,
charming and wealthy, he was the epitome of an Alpha male.
In the morning he promised
he would call. He didn’t.
Six months later, just as
Billie had finally managed to free herself from the memories of that night, he
arrives on the scene again. Suddenly, all the feelings that burned so intensely
are reignited and she finds herself becoming quickly entangled with her
enigmatic lover. The passion is incredible, unforgettable, unbelievable, but
Jaron Rose is not all that he seems—he wears more than one disguise…and he is
hiding a big secret.
Billie is about to find out
what that is…
Book Review
Masquerade is the first book by Georgia Le Carre that I have read and wow what a book it is!
The cover is intriguing and the blurb grabs your attention.
I haven’t read many Adult romances and when I heard about this book I was a bit apprehensive wondering if I would like it but instead I was so hooked in the story that I just could not keep it down. 🙂
Although it says that it is the standalone sequel to the Billionaire Banker series
, I came to know about this fact only after I had read Masquerade and let me tell you I didn’t feel anything amiss. This novel is a standalone and no way did I feel the need to have read the Billionaire Banker series first before reading this one .
This is one story that does not let the heated intimate scenes waylay the main story. Instead the story takes you on a journey of self discovery, hidden secrets, intense emotions and finally a totally unexpected twist that floors you. I just didn’t see this twist coming.
Jaron is mysterious with great sex appeal that he knows how to use to his advantage. The bad boy streak in him and the reckless facade that he portrays makes every woman’s heart pitter- patter. His chemistry with Billie is scorching, intense and animalistic. The mystery around him when it gets solved leaves the reader astonished and appreciative of the creativity of the writer. I haven’t read any stories with this twist.
Billie thinks herself as a lesbian and so when she is attracted towards Jaron, she is very confused about her sexuality. A one night stand leaves her pining for a man who never calls and then after many months waltzes into her life as if he owns it. Infuriated with Jaron but at the same time slave to her frustrated libido, the game they play is both erotic and a defining part of the story.
Billie’s best friend and the main heroine of the Billionaire Banker series, Lana also makes an appearance in this novel along with her husband, Blake and it was interesting and heart warming to see her support to Billie and their love as friends.
The other characters also make their presence felt and sketch a lively picture in our minds.
The best thing about the book was the fluid shift from intimate scenes to the main story. The scenes change almost flawlessly and take you from feeling the intensity of love to the thrill of mystery and danger in a heartbeat and you don’t even feel the shift.
The story is well crafted and executed. This is an erotic romance but with a solid story line and some well thrown suspense and adventure.
All in all, I absolutely enjoyed reading Masquerade and liked Georgia’s writing style. 4.5 out of 5 to it and recommended to adults who love intense love stories with heated love scenes. I look forward to reading the Billionaire Banker series now and would definitely checkout any new books from Georgia in the future.
I received an ARC from the author and I am very thankful to her. The above review is my honest and unbiased opinion and in no way influenced.

Excerpt:
‘First let me
tell you what you’re going to be doing tomorrow. At sharp three thirty p.m. you
will bend over this table, your elbows and hands and cheek pressed against the
glass, your ass in the air barely covered by lace and some transparent material
that rips easily. Baby doll nighties and thongs are my favorite at the moment.
What you are doing is waiting for me to come and fuck you like the little bitch
you are.’

‘The rims of
the thong will become soaked very quickly and you will consider using your
sweating hands to masturbate to relieve the ache, but you will not. Instead you will keep that position, nipples and cunt
tingling, and wait. The high heels you’ll be wearing—I like black— will make
your calves cramp, but you will ignore it.’

‘At four I will turn up. You will not turn around to look at me or speak to me.
No matter how wide your legs are I will have to correct the position by kicking
apart your legs and flipping the last bit of covering over your back, so your
ass is totally exposed to me. I will roughly rub your panties, find the jellied
part, and dig my fingers into it. You will immediately raise your hips higher
to try to catch more of my flesh, and moan the way you would if you were
begging for it.

to be quiet. That you are not to make a sound until I allow it. I will flick
your clit through the material and your body will start bucking and squirming.
At that moment I will swat you on the fleshiest part of your buttocks just
once, but hard. My fingers might strike your clit. It will make your head spin
and you are bound to cry out from the surprise. But if you do I will spank you
again. Just to hear you cry out and see the blush spread. And again, until you
are panting and dripping onto my hand. Excitement, shame, joy, desire.

back off, make myself a cup of tea and drink it while I stare at your reddened
ass, ripe for the picking. Once I have had my tea I will undress. Slowly. You
will strain to hear buttons, material scraping my skin, shoes sliding away,
socks pulling, zip tearing. I will grasp the reddened, burning skin in my palms
and feel its weight in my bare hands.’

pull the warm red cheeks apart and holding them apart with one hand I will
slide my finger into you, first one, then two and eventually three—the way you
like it, the way I did the first night we met. You will moan, and shiver and
maybe even grunt like an animal. Your head will start to lift off the table—you
are about to come. That is the moment I’ll stop and will ask you to touch
yourself. You will take your hand off the table and press it between your legs,
turning your head to look at me while starting to masturbate.

The writing industry is going through a

As for advice, there is already a lot,
maybe too much on the net for aspiring authors, the only thing I will add to it
is: I don’t know what will happen in 6 months time but if you are planning to
publish in the near future get on Kindle Unlimited. The sooner the better.
