Discovering Desire (Shattered Embrace Series) by Alyndra Quinn – Review by Ayla Phipps

Discovering Desire by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Discovering everything they never knew they needed. Alyndra Quinn has such immense power over my soul with this series. Finally getting to see more inside the mind of Derek Ingram as well as Jordan and Justine in this entry. Each of them has their own path they are on but in so many ways they are each other’s answers and solutions.
Derek has decided to rise and take over his “families” syndicate from his half brother Lucian. Lucian poses a threat to his older brother Zachery and his girlfriend Ashton as well as anyone else that’s near Derek. Jordan is beginning to shift into the next chapter of her life and wants something more than a hook up with her favorite Dom and mentor Derek. Justine has been observing Shattered Embrace for over a year and after one embarrassing slip up that led to Derek hearing her sighing his name from the shadows of the room, she takes the next step and participates in a class for the first time. While several others give Justine more perspective not only for her research but for herself, she starts to question her motives and how she can truly understand her dissertation topic unless she discovers it. With questions filling her mind leading to a moment she could barely even dream up Justine learns to let go and discover her desires in ways she never imagined.
Will Derek succeed in getting Lucian out of the way? How will Jordan discover what she needs to fill her soul? What will Justine discover when she stops hiding behind her research and living in the moment? This world has a way of pulling you in deeper and deeper with each new discovery and every page until you’re left speechless and ready for the next story to see where it will go from here. While I didn’t know about Whispers in Wonderland before reading this book, I will be going back to it very soon to discover where it all began for Derek and Jordan and what led to the events in this book. That said I wasn’t completely lost but the beginning had me confused slightly as it seemed to pick up after previous important events. Now the countdown to finally getting inside the mind of the Master of love them and leave them, Reid.
