**Contains graphic adult content and harsh language. It is only appropriate for adult readers age 18+


Am I glad I read this trilogy? YES I AM. 

With the exception of sometimes being a little wordy, let me tell you some things I found note worthy and exceptional about this book that made it standout, without giving spoilers. 

So, many times other author's choose to make a situation out to be too "angsty" that isn't even reasonable. Sarah and Jonas are reasonable people, so it would have been totally out of their character if the author had taken a situation and fueled it even more, like so many other authors have done in their books. Lauren knew exactly when to stop.  Bravo! She let us stew just a little, but then she knew when to let reason win out and not let it go too far. 

Lauren did research and talk to the right people to try to get facts straight. With the subject matter, she needed it. Some of the subject matter wasn't something she could just pull out of her brain and make it realistic. Bravo for that! 

The heat! OMG! I love the heat and sizzle of this book...the series! This couple was on fire! Not too much...not too little! Perfect. 

The back story. The way she wove the back stories of Jonas and Sarah in was perfect. It just fit to make you understand so much about the hot alpha yet, sensitive, poetic man of Jonas and the kick-ass take-charge, intelligent woman of Sarah.  So, the writing style is spot on. 

Now, I see some more books coming for Jonas' twin, Josh and Sarah's friend Kat. Maybe Henn thrown in there too? Who knows. But I do want to read those books if she has those in the works. 

Good Job, Lauren! 4.5 Stars! KC


Book Details:
Title: The Club (The Club Series Book #1)
Author: Lauren Rowe
Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance
Release Day: January 5, 2015

When playboy businessman Jonas Faraday receives a private note from the anonymous intake agent assigned to process his online application to an exclusive club, he becomes obsessed with finding her and giving her the satisfaction she claims has always eluded her, in order to fulfill his own desperate need for redemption.

Sarah: “When I read Jonas Faraday’s brutally honest personal message on his application to The Club—I practically climaxed at my desk. I’m an idiot to risk losing my job but I couldn’t resist contacting him. I knew my confession would be like dangling an irresistible carrot in front of his nose—but never in a million years did I think he’d actually hunt me down.”

Jonas: “I was shocked to get my intake agent’s email—I’d attached that note to my application on a whim, never expecting a reply from an actual person, let alone a reply as mind blowing as that. Her message was so alluring, so irresistible, I’ve been spiraling into a full-blown obsession ever since I got it. What’s her name? What does she look like? Finding her is my top priority.”

In The Club, what starts out as an innocent exploration of attraction quickly spirals into a steamy story of unbridled passion, obsession, heartbreak, and, ultimately, redemption


Book Details:
Title: The Reclamation (The Club Series Book #2)
Author: Lauren Rowe
Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance
Release Day: January 26, 2015
Jonas and Sarah’s addictive love story picks up right where the first book left off, hurtling to a heart-stopping conclusion that will leave readers breathless and screaming for the unforgettable final installment of The Club Trilogy.

Sarah: “My entire life has spiraled into chaos—and yet, all I can think about is my raging, thumping, insatiable addiction to Jonas’ magical touch. He’s unleashed an all-consuming hunger inside me that can only be satisfied when Jonas finally surrenders to me the same way I’ve surrendered to him—mind, body and soul.”

Praise for The Club Trilogy:

BOOK 1:

"OMG if there is one book you MUST read right now, it is The Club by Lauren Rowe. This is a 3 book series. And yes, they are all going to be about Jonas and Sarah. Their AMAZING chemistry and ‘wild monkey sex.’ . . . Eep!! Sign me up!” Five Stars, Amazon review of THE CLUB (The Club Trilogy Book 1) by Lauren Rowe

“Sorry Christian Grey, I'm now on Team Jonas! Smart, funny, I couldn't put it down! The characters are real. And the erotica is well, erm, hot.” –5 Stars, Amazon Reviewer of THE CLUB (The Club Trilogy Book 1) by Lauren Rowe

BOOK 2:

“This series is the 'Divine Original' of awesome-ness! The Reclamation is a masterful continuation of The Club trilogy. . . . I promise, by the time you finish reading this book, you'll have laughed, cried, and gritted your teeth, right along with these clever characters! You'll snort and paw the ground and scream, ‘When can I read the next book?!?!?!’, and curse the Gods of literature for denying you one second of relief from the agonizing anticipation! In a word? Transcendent!” – Five Stars, Goodreads review of THE RECLAMATION (The Club Trilogy Book 2) by Lauren Rowe

“. . .beautifully written, just rips your heart out cuts it up and then pours that acid spit from Alien on it. . . . But honestly I have to say that #2 is better than the first one. She set a bar with how amazing part one was and just knocked it out of the stratosphere this time. . . .” Five Stars, Goodreads review of THE RECLAMATION (The Club Trilogy Book 2) by Lauren Rowe

“The emotional journey that Jonas and Sarah are continuing still has to be one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful things that I have read. . . . I anticipate part 3 will draw this story to a magnificent end where hopefully Jonas and Sarah get that happy ride off into the sunset ending that they both so very very much deserve.” Five Stars, Goodreads review of THE RECLAMATION (The Club Trilogy Book 2) by Lauren Rowe

BOOK 3:

“This is by far my favorite of the series and I'll tell ya Lauren doesn't disappoint!! It's a beautiful conclusion to the BEST love story I've read in a LONG time!! I loved going on their journey and I believe you will too!! I'm definitely on the Jonas Faraday train!!” Five Stars, Goodreads review of THE REDEMPTION (The Club Trilogy Book 3) by Lauren Rowe

“This series has been such an outstanding journey; I've loved it from beginning to end! The saga of Sarah and Jonas is equally perilous and wonderful! This trilogy finale is so good, I couldn't put it down for even a second! The feelings that this author manages to evoke are epic! Bring a box of tissues (and a fresh pair of panties) when you delve into this one! I cried, I laughed, I freaked out, I wondered...” Five Stars, Goodreads review of THE REDEMPTION (The Club Trilogy Book 3) by Lauren Rowe

“Thank you Lauren Rowe for the BEST trilogy I’ve ever read!!!” Five Stars, Goodreads review of THE REDEMPTION (The Club Trilogy Book 3) by Lauren Rowe

“This has to be one of the most satisfying endings for a book series that I have read in a while. The best really was saved for last in this case. It was hit straight out of the park.” Five Stars, Goodreads review of THE REDEMPTION (The Club Trilogy Book 3) by Lauren Rowe

**BT** The Reclamation ~ The Club Trilogy #2~ Lauren Rowe ~ Kat's Review ~

The Reclamation by Lauren Rowe Blog Tour –
February 2nd – 13th

He’s unleashed an all-consuming hunger inside me that can only be satisfied when Jonas finally surrenders to me the same way I’ve surrendered to him—mind, body and soul.”

*Gasp* That is where I am left at this heart-stopping cliff-hanger! Thank goodness I already have the third book on my kindle! Lauren, you naughty girl! Thank goodness, she doesn't leave readers waiting long between books. 

This series...one of my favorites. Such a knowledgeable writer. Humorous, educated, philosophical and very enlightened on life. And let's not forget the HEAT. OMG! The heat is off-the-charts. Character development is exactly where it needs to be. When you are reading you know what you need to know about each character, when you need to know it. Secondary characters are placed right on target. None are there unless they are needed.  (Dare I guess that Josh and Kat, Jonas twin brother and Sarah's best friend, are going to get their own books too?) :)

Scene building is almost perfect. I will say Lauren is a little wordy. Some of that could have been cut down. That is my only complaint, but not enough to keep me away from this series. The inner-dialogue Jonas and Sarah have with themselves sometimes goes on a little long and that is the part that could be cut a little, other than that, I have no complaints. This series is on my list as one of my top series to read. 

Great job, Lauren. I can hardly wait to start, book three, The Redemption.
4.5 Stars Kat

I rub my hands over my face. Jesus, this woman is my crack.

There’s a beat. I should say it now. But I want to say it when I can show her and tell her at the same time. I don’t trust myself with words alone—they’ve been a struggle for me ever since that whole year as a kid when I didn’t speak at all.
She clears her throat. “How is it possible every single time gets better and better and better?” she asks.

“Because we were made for each other,” I say softly. And because I love you.
Her smile widens. She pushes me back onto the bed and swiftly straddles my lap. She leans down and kisses me tenderly.


I rest my hands on her thighs. “Where the hell did you get the idea to sixty-nine me all of a sudden?” I ask. “That was a pleasant surprise.”

           
 She looks at me sideways. “Jonas, I’ve been reading sex club applications for the past three months, remember? I’ve been stockpiling ideas the whole time.” She winks.

“Oh yeah?” I like where this is headed. “You’ve picked up an idea or two, have you?” I cross my arms under my head and gaze up at her.

“Yes, sir,” she says, her eyes ablaze. She rubs her hands along my biceps. “Maybe just a thing or two . . . and now that I’ve got the right partner . . . the perfect partner . . 

.” She leans down again and kisses me. “My sweet Jonas.”
My heart leaps. “Sarah,” I breathe. I want to tell her. She deserves to hear it from me.

She whispers right into my ear. “Madness.”

I exhale and close my eyes.

I know I should be happy to hear this word—she’s telling me she loves me in the exact way I’ve taught her to say it to me—the precise way I’ve trained her to say it so as not to scare me off. Love is a serious mental disease, I explained to her, over and over, quoting Plato—pointedly avoiding the more pedantic but direct route to the same message. I glance away, trying to collect my thoughts. I feel like I’m failing her with all my secret codes.

“Oh, Jonas.” She leans down and peppers my entire face with soft kisses—the thing she does that makes me want to crawl into her arms and cry like a baby. “Don’t think so much. Thinking is the enemy.”
