Break Me by Tracy Wolff

New York Times bestselling author Tracy Wolff delivers the final installment in her thrillingly romantic Art of Pleasure series.

Seven days, seven nights…

One week of passion.

One week of submission.

One week where anything—and everything—goes.

Destiny Bridges has always been driven by the images in her head. For most of her life, her art has been everything to her, with people and life and even sex coming in very distant seconds.

Until journalist Heath Lewis comes to town to interview her for one of the top art magazines in the world. Suddenly he’s asking all kinds of questions she doesn’t know how to answer… and pushing her in ways she never imagined possible.

Ways that have her craving him and the pleasure he so effortlessly gives her.

With Heath, Destiny lets her body take control for the first time in her life. For one week, she gives herself over to all the wicked, wonderful things Heath demands of her, and in doing so learns more about herself—and her art—than she ever dreamed possible.

But when the week is over and Heath is still pushing for more—pushing for everything—she must decide if the changes he’s brought to her life, and her art, are changes she can live with for the rest of her life.

The Dirty Bits from Carina Press give you what you want, when you want it. Designed to be read in an hour or two, these sex-filled microromances are guaranteed to pack a punch and deliver a happily-ever-after.

I am enjoying the variety and different ways that authors have interpreted "The Dirty Bits" in this series from Carina Press. I would recommend that you give them a try – and remember the premise of all the 'good' bits in a short story and judge them on that basis. They are quick, often cheeky, forays into passion, often with a quick transition into romance. Sometimes a short, sexy story is just what you need! This is the third in an arts-based group of stories by Wolff, and I enjoyed it for what it was billed to be. I particularly loved that her art was in glass blowing, which requires strength as well as skill and vision. It ensured that she was every bit as interesting as the injured Heath.

Heath may have travelled the world covering dangerous meaningful stories as a journalist, but Destiny walking out of her lake naked, and utterly secure, throws him. From there on the chemistry is clear, the article takes a back seat and we see two people give themselves over to a new level of pleasure. Will they make it long term... that is for us to decide, but I think Wolff gave us enough interaction that we can hope so.

This is the third book in the Art of Pleasure series and it was missing anything to do with a relationship. I really did like Heath and Destiny and the idea of them together, but the insta-sex was just that.

Heath is a reporter and he is going to write a story on Destiny and her art. When Heath is left waiting on Destiny at the restaurant almost an hour late, he decides to drive to her house to get his story.

Destiny doesn't want to do the story, but she does want to meet Heath, he intrigues her. She wants to get to know him and all about his travels.

They have a chemistry that is off the charts and the passion only gets hotter between them. Will their short time together be all there is between them? Can they work things out to stay together?

As I said, I really liked the idea of this story but for a short story, it took me over a day to finish it. I could not make myself pick it up to read it. It still has Tracy Wolff's writing style and that made it readable. Read it for the insta-sex if nothing else.

This is the third book in this quick read series. I have read the previous books and for me, this one is by far the worst. I found it very hard to read.

You have instant sex in the first few pages and when there could have been a developing relationship or at least friendship, it was just more sex. Yes, I know that these are supposed to be erotic, but there was no chemistry between the characters and it was incredibly disjointed in the writing style.

At times, I was almost guessing at what the book was actually supposed to be about because I was trying to make sense of what was happening.

I would skip this one in the series if I were telling someone to read them. The first two were much more cohesive and made a lot more sense.

Make Me by Tracy Wolff

New York Times bestselling author Tracy Wolff continues the scorching Art of Pleasure series with Make Me.

Seven days, seven nights…

One week of passion.

One week of submission.

One week where anything—and everything—goes.

Pose for me.

The words both thrill and terrify museum curator Grace Parker.

Thrill her because the way he asks—and the way he looks at her—warns that he wants so much more than a few pictures.

Terrify her for the exact same reasons.

British photographer Jaxon Silva isn’t considered the rock star of the art scene for nothing. His latest project? Photos of bound women captured at the height of ecstasy.

Inspired by the magnetic artist to take a risk for the first time in her life, Grace leaps… into Jaxon’s ropes and his arms.

One week together is all it takes to change everything.

Jaxon—and the woman she is when she’s with him—is what Grace wants forever.

The Dirty Bits from Carina Press give you what you want, when you want it. Designed to be read in an hour or two, these sex-filled microromances are guaranteed to pack a punch and deliver a happily-ever-after.

Jaxon is a famous photographer and Grace is a curator at the museum holding one of his shows.

He was intrigued by Grace just from her emails and when he got the chance to watch her at a local bar, he took it. But he couldn't just watch, he had to meet her. And he was happy to see that she wasn't a pushover. But he wanted more from her.

Grace goes to the bar close to her apartment for a drink never thinking that the artist that she has been planning a show for would be there. When a man offers to buy her drink she refuses, even when she realizes that it's Jaxon Silva. She is shocked to see him sitting next to her.

In the short time they spend together, their feelings grow and it scares Grace. She knows that Jaxon has to leave soon for another show soon. She cannot risk her heart. But Jaxon wants more and doesn't seem to care about the show.

Can they make a relationship work or will they crash and burn? Will Grace get over her fear of losing him? Can Jaxon make her see that she is what he wants?

I liked the first story but liked this one more. This one had a little more storyline and more sex and being a quick read, there wasn't much time for more backstories on them, but I guess if there were then it would be a novel. Anyway, if you are looking for a quickie, then this is one for you. And if you love Tracy Wolff like I do, you have to read it.

Jaxon and Grace's first meeting isn't quite what Jaxon wanted. I loved how Grace wasn't going to let him get away with anything. She made him work for every inch. But after that, I thought that she folded like a chair.

I wanted more from Grace. She started out so strong. But once Jaxon was able to smooth talk her, her resolve to hold out and make a name for herself in the industry went to the back burner.

While they had some great chemistry, I wanted more of a story than to just watch these two dance around whether or not Grace was going to allow Jaxon to photograph her. But if you wanted a quick and dirty read, this is your story. Just don't expect a lot of character development.

This is the second in the series for Tracy Wolff, and I would definitely suggest that you read Hope and Deacon's story too, as it is also super hot!

Grace Parker has been a fan of photographer Jaxon for a very long time, and now she has curated an exhibition of his work. When he sees it, he knows that she has a far better understanding of him and what his work means than anyone he has ever met. This pleases him greatly, because from the moment he saw her photo, he has planned to tie her up, please her, and photograph the results.

He is a man on a mission, and whilst Grace is protective of herself, recognising that she could fall in love with him far too easily, she is really at his mercy. And he makes sure that she loves every minute of it! I enjoyed his care, and whilst he pushes her, he also knows when to hold back and when to make the next move. As we get to read both their sides of the way the week progresses, it is clear that this is just the beginning of something bigger and important. For me, that is the perfect way to end such a short story!

This is the story of Hope and Deacon, both are artists but Deacon is the famous, intimidating artist and Hope is the wannabe artist who is going to school and is going to model for Deacon to help pay for school.

On the first day she goes to model for him, they both know that something is different. Deacon knows that she might be the answer to all his unanswered questions. And Hope knows he is the answer to every question she can think of. She wants to learn more about him, but he doesn't seem to like sharing about himself, other than what she has already read in articles. She wants more, so much more.

Deacon knew when he first saw her that she was different and he knows now that if he touches her, he will be lost in the pleasure. When she is around, he almost feels his life is complete and when she is gone, he can't wait for her to come back.

I love Tracy Wolff and I really liked this story. I wish it would have been longer with more backstory and a little more at the end. I went in knowing it was a short read, but I want more. I can't wait to read more in this series.

Hope is supposed to model for the great Deacon. She can't believe that she's in his presence. She's attracted to him but wonders if they could really have something real.

Deacon knows immediately when Hope arrives that he has found his muse. He is instantly attracted to her and despite knowing he shouldn't get involved with his model, he can't help himself. He just has to touch.

These two have a hot and heavy few days and realize that underneath their artist side, they have a much deeper connection. While the book is short, it's full of steamy scenes and great chemistry. Wolff leaves the reader wanting so much more and I can't wait to read more in this series.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
I have really enjoyed all of the Carina Dirty Bits books, and this one is no exception... in fact, it is maybe one of the hottest!

Hope is a student artist who is keen to learn from the famous Deacon, so jumps at the chance to model for him, and pay off her tuition fees too. From the very beginning it is clear that they are two very sexual beings and no time is wasted in combining art with more.

Whilst this is a short story, the intensity builds dramatically, so that we are well aware that this is not going to fade anytime soon! It is sensual, fun, and gives a peek into the world of a sculptor.


Kris – ☆☆☆☆☆
Steamy fun novella hit hard in a short amount of pages. I fell for both Hope and Deacon from the very first page. These two had chemistry off the charts and Deacon had all the right intensity, jerkiness, and longing of a dominant male character I enjoy reading. Hope had the walls up around her heart and somehow this intense amazing artist/sculptor she's looked up to forever found a way in.

I definitely will be looking for the next Art of Pleasure installment!
