**I was given an ARC copy by the author for my honest review.**
Being Amber! As always I will jump right in on my personal thoughts on this book because you do not need a synopsis, that is already provided by the author.
Being Amber is a great scifi erotica read set in the future. I really enjoyed the world and story Ryan is building. It is not one that is typically done that much in erotica and I felt it authentic and interesting. The flow of the story is very well done and I enjoyed the tension and angst of the H/h. I enjoyed the side scenes that Ryan involved so that it didn't lack the sex that you expect with an erotica read. I grew emotional bonds with Jaci and Xander so when they felt pain, heartache, or jealousy I was right there with them. I will say that towards the end Xander started to irritate me with his reservations of the bond they desired in one another but I understood his reasons.
Now on to the sex! The sex in this book was entertaining. I enjoyed the light BDSM and the menage scenes were tastefully done. There is a sprinkling of toy usage and even a little f/f. The best part about the sex in this book was that it fit. It wasn't forced or thrown in there for the sake of having them like a majority of the erotica books tend to do.
As for things I did not like. I did not like Xander's constant usage of the endearment "sweetie". It just didn't fit in my mind that he would say that and it was put into moments that I think it shouldn't. I also wish I did not read the epilogue that she provides on her website. I really didn't like it. It made me have a mild pit fall from sadness after the high I had when finishing such a good book. I think the book ended good and the epilogue was unnecessary and a downer. I can see were she was trying to take it but in my opinion it didn't have that effect on me.
OVERALL: I think this is a great book
for anyone who actually likes good world building, a natural flowing
storyline with mystery and angst while also providing great sex scenes. I
cant wait to learn more of the different zones and see what this war is
brewing!!
