Emotional romance: SLASH

Hi, book buddies ☺ Let me tell you about an emotional, sensitive, beautiful, hot story by the incredible Laurelin Paige. You will feel so much with SLASH.

MY OPINION 

Passion and deep love fuse in this novella in epic ways. 

I knew beforehand that tragedy would touch this romance because Camilla, the main character, had a profound impact in me when I read the Slay series.

Even as a stranger, this damaged and resilient survivor can still resonate with the reader on many levels. A professional photographer, a mother, a fighter who carries wounds below skin and above. This is why the story means so much on its own, yet also grows with a background. 

The introspective narrative focuses on the inner workings of Camilla as she reflects on her darkened past, the lights in her present, and the man who awakens and stirs and tempts her beyond the walls around her. It happens during a photography course she imparts and it is beautifully rendered as the author extrapolates several trade techniques to apply them to her emotional journey. The effect is riveting. 

Both characters share a talent for the art of photography and it is as much a bonding experience as their desire and compatibility. 

Bittersweet, arduous, the romance blossoms in his wooing of her heart, and it finally explodes in pleasures of the flesh. Very touching, raw as well, and gorgeously perceptive and sensitive. 

Slash, an all new sizzling hot 1,001 Dark Nights Standalone Novella in the Slay series by New York Times bestselling author Laurelin Paige is available now!

Camilla Fasbender has a secret.

Underneath her posh accent and designer clothes lies the evidence of her pain.

Every heartbreak, every bad day, every setback has left a scar.

From behind her camera, she shows the world what to see. And it isn't her.

Until him.

He sees right through her carefully constructed facade.

And he's going to slash it all to pieces.

ENJOY AN EXCERPT 

Hendrix didn’t strike me as ridiculous. Or impulsive. Or silly. Why on earth, then, would he believe that there could be something worth seeking out with me? If that’s what he meant at all. Which...he did, didn’t he? 

It’s confusing, and confusion makes me hide, on the whole. But since I can’t hide because I’m the f*cking teacher in this class—seriously, how did this happen?—and for some reason the educator is expected to stay present, I find my confusion turning to anger. It works itself through me until the beauty of our night together is cropped out of my memory and what’s left is trite and fleeting. 

His presence feels nothing like flattery—which it did feel flattering, admittedly, for a half second there in the midst of everything else. Now, though, it just feels invasive and unprofessional and mean. Perhaps I’d confront him about it, if I were a different sort of person, one who isn’t afraid to stand up to a challenge. One who isn’t afraid to live her life. But I’m not that sort of person, so after I give out the assignments and send the students on their way, I plan to gather my things and get on my way as soon as possible, so fond of hiding that I am.

 I was stupid enough to believe—or perhaps hopeful is the better term—that Hendrix would let me do that, as he’d let me leave that night in Paris, not that I’d given him a choice. He doesn’t, though, of course. Of course. He approaches me, his leather camera bag slung over his shoulder, a man satchel underneath. 

“Camilla,” he says in that American accent that makes me both cringe and swoon all at once, and for the briefest of moments I find myself considering something different for a change. I consider staying. But underneath my long sleeve polo neck, my skin throbs with an intensity that equals the blaring of a car alarm, and I think of Fred waiting for me at home to take him out for ice cream and the dead husband who hurt me as much as he loved me and the ugliness that marks me inside and out. And in the chaos of those thoughts, there is no option to stay. 

“You being here is in bad taste,” I say before he has a chance to say anything else. “Don’t do this to me.” I brush past him then, and with the heat of that brief contact following me in radiating waves, I rush outside to disappear among the Saturday-morning Londoners who are out enjoying the early signs of spring.

ABOUT THE MASTERMIND 

With millions of books sold worldwide, Laurelin Paige is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author. She is a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however.  When she isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Game of Thrones or Letterkenny, or dreaming of Michael Fassbender. She's also a proud member of Mensa International though she doesn't do anything with the organization except use it as material for her bio. She is represented by Rebecca Friedman.
