Discovering Desire (Shattered Embrace Series) by Alyndra Quinn – Review by Angela Shirley
Discovering Desire by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
We enter back into the world of Club Shattered Embrace and oh my what a steamy world we get to see.
Derek is coming to terms with life outside of the military and has decided to delve into the Club world but when he sees Justine he has this unbelievable urge to protect her for some reason, so when she gets in the crosshairs and gets shot he decides to take her to safety in the woods where they discover the best of each other, but he also has to make the decision if he wants to take over the family business but he needs to get rid of Lucian once and for all.
Jordan is Derek’s play partner and while they are in Sub training she sees the attraction and connection between Derek and Justine but where does Jordan stand in all of this, so she has to understand what she actually wants out of the experiences.
Justine is a grad student writing her dissertation on human nature and what better way to observe is in Club Shattered Embrace but as she goes through the classes she awakens something inside of her that she was unaware of but when she is shot and is whisked away with Derek, can she keep her feelings for him hidden while she is helping him or will the Alpha in him call to her Sub.
This is the third book in the series and although the story flows well as a stand alone it is probably better for you to get the back stories about the other characters to understand some of the interaction but it is not necessary.
The chemistry from all the characters jumps off the page and have you totally engaged into the story where the sexually component and the twists and turns mould brilliantly together to give you a gripping story and well developed characters.
I love the Alpha dominance of Derek but there is also a softer side to him which melts when he is in protector mode which is just brilliant to read. Justine’s character is full of sass and determination in the end to get what she wanted which is a brilliant progression through the story.
I can’t wait to read the next instalment and other series by this wonderful author.
