Woohooo!!! I'm totally addicted to this trilogy!!
Be sure that you've read Book #1Virtuous(read my review) before you read this book! This is a complete trilogy with all the books already released and all about same couple so you have to read them in order!
“Join Flynn and Natalie as their story unfolds in three full-length books. From New York to Los Angeles, from Hollywood to Las Vegas, their whirlwind love affair has it all � romance, passion, steamy hot sex, relentless paparazzi and a murder that could be their undoing…�
The story is a romance between a young school teacher, Natalie, and the world's most famous movie star, Flynn. They've already come so far since the first book -- she was a woman who'd forged a new identity for herself to escape herpainful past and she'd sworn to never sleep with any man who she wasn't married to, and he was as opposite as you get --a sexual Dominant who'd publicly stated that he would never get married again after his disasterous first marriage. But love changes people... and Natalie and Flynn fell so hard for each other that it made them reconsider everything that they'd feared from their pasts.
So this book begins right in the aftermath of the events that ended book one.... with Natalie reeling in shock and Flynn desperately trying to be there and support her in anyway he could.
When the details of Natalie's past came into the light, even though my heart broke for her, I honestly just felt soproudofthe way she'd chosen to handle it and fight back. I mean, wow! What an incredible strong girl (and now woman)!! I know she's just a fictional character but goddamnit, I was proud of her!
Flynn was there for her every single step of the way -- protecting her, reassuring her, showing her through every single one of his actions that he loved her and would do anything in his power to help her.What they were going through wasn't easy, but I loved the way they supported each other. This was the ultimate example of showing, not telling, which (to me) is extraordinarily important part of telling a strong story.
And OHHHHH THE FEELS!!!! I felt them all!!! I loved the way the whole Quantum team and the Godfreyfamily backed Flynn and Natalie through their ordeal. Talk about heart-warming!
His chest has become my favorite place to lay my head, and wrapped up by his embrace, I find my happy place. Even in the midst of my worst nightmare, I feel safe and loved because of him.
I could honestly cry from happiness over finding a series like this with such afunctional couple who genuinely are trying their hardest to work together to create a strong, solid relationship based on trust and surrounded by their love for each other. THIS is the kind of story I most love reading. Where even thebad things justbring them even closer together as they support each other in facing their troubles. LOVE IT!!
Fluff, Natalie's tinylittle dog, continued her hilariously hateful attacks onFlynn. Heehee!
But of course, there'sone secret left that they haven't yet dealt with.... and that's Flynn's Dominant side. While he is willing to sacrifice that lifestyle to be with the woman he loves, it's still a huge part of who he is. He's being vanilla for her out of love. Knowing all the details of her traumatic past, the last thing he'd ever want to do would be to trigger a memory... but it's still a sacrifice he's making for her. It's in his nature to be dominant, but he just loves Natalieenough to try to be exactly what she needs at the moment until she's ready to be with all of who he really is. And I have no doubt we'll see all of that in the next book!
I’m greeted by a snarl and a bark that remind me we’re not completely alone. “Fluff, you and I need to come to an understanding.�
The little brat shows me her pathetic fangs.
I have to say, this book was even hotter than the last. And it just kept getting hotterand hotter!!!I've had a few people ask me so I'll just state here that there is no cheating and no triangles at all in this story. The drama has all come from sources entirely external to the relationship. It's just them. And IT IS HOT!
It had come down to a choice � her or the lifestyle. I’d chosen her. I’d choose her every time. I need her more. It’s that simple. She’s everything I didn’t know I needed until she literally slammed into me and turned my life upside down....
My inner dominant hovers on the razor’s edge, wanting to break free and take what’s mine. I want to own her, possess her, rule her. I want every part of her, and I want her to surrender to me in every possible way.
But more than all of that, I want her to never be afraid of me, so I suppress my driving natural inclinations and give her the softness, the sweetness, and the love she needs and deserves.
Now, because I know that someone is probably going to comment on this at some point, I'm going to address it outright: YES, this whole romance is a total whirlwind. Was it a little fast by "normal" standards? Suuuure. Was it a little over-the-top at times? Yup. But more importantly...who cares??This is escapism. It's fantasy. It's thrilling, heart-racing, belly-flutteringromance and I just loved it. I didn't over think it. I just went with it and escaped into this truly addictive story that just swept me away.
Oh, and one more random thing -- I really loved the way that Flynn wouldn't let their jobs keep them apart. It was SUCH an incredibly welcome relief to see couples not allow distance and personal pursuits to come between them and instead found ways to always stay togetherandfollow their dreams.
The ending was a total cliffhanger but the next book is available (YAY!!) so I'm starting it right away. But the important thing really is that, even though I'mdesperate to start the next one, it's more because I'm just incredibly excited to see what happens next, not because I'm fearing what will happen next.Yes, the endingwas both a misunderstanding and a mistake -- but it was clearly one made out of love and since both Natalie and Flynn are very level headed and since they both clearly love each other so deeply, I have total faith that they'll get through this just like they've gotten through everything -- together.
Seriously... What a fantastically ADDICTIVE and thrilling series. And like I said, oh-my is it ever HOT!!!! Can I just say how totally awesome it is to literally have the entire trilogy available at once so that you can read straight through all the books with no stopping!! This is pureBOOK HEAVEN!!
If you're a fan of Fifty Shades, Love Unscripted, and/or Crossfire, then you HAVE to read these!!!!
READING ORDER:
1. Virtuous
2. Valorous
3. Victorious

3.5 Stars!!
“Vǰdzܲ� is the second installment in ‾ܲԳٳܳ� series and picks up where book1, “Vٴǰdzܲ� ends. Natalie is devastated and she's in shock after she found out she lost her job and the whole world knows everything about her past. Flynn still blames himself for ruining Natalie’s life, but as much as he blames himself he doesn’t want to lose her over that. He is there for her, assuring her that everything will be ok, supporting and caring for her.
Natalie tells everything to Flynn about her past, why she did what she did back then and the fact that she haven’t seen or talked with her family in eight years. She knows how lucky she is having Flynn by her side, a man who gives her what she needs, making her stronger in the process. Flynn is still convinced there is no chance introducing his dominant side to her, especially now since he knows the whole story about her abuse. He loves her too much not to choose her over his lifestyle, being certain he can live without his dominant side. Unfortunately for Flynn and for them as well, Natalie finds out about his lifestyle, that he's a Dom and he has a playroom at home, so everything between them gets complicated. Natalie feels betrayed and doesn’t want to be in a relationship based on lies. On top of that, there’s been a murder and both Natalie and Flynn are suspects.
Like the first book in the series, this installment is fast-paced, intense and captivating. Both Natalie and Flynn are well developed and endearing characters (for the most part). Natalie proves again how amazing she is. I really admired her strength and the fact she doesn’t want to be defined by this tragic event in her life. She wants to move on and try to be happy, ‘normal� and a good wife for Flynn. Flynn is more than perfect in this installment. He loves Natalie with all his heart and all he wants is for her to feel save and protected with him. He is attentive and very caring and he’s ready to do anything for the woman he loves so much. Natalie is the most important person for him and he proves that numerous times not only with his words, but with his actions as well.
One aspect of the story that I really liked is the way Natalie and Flynn are with each other. Apart from the fact that Flynn still keeps a secret from Natalie, they are honest with each other and I have to say I really enjoyed how they easily they communicate with each other. Their sweet moments together were heart-warming and the teasing and their bickering between them were delightful. Needless to say I never questioned their love, connection or chemistry, which btw like in the previous installment is palpable. They are absolutely perfect for each other.
The sex scenes were hotter than ever and it was great to see how confident and ready to try something more in bed Natalie was. The side characters were engaging and it was great to find out more about their dynamics.
While I liked this installment, I didn't love it. One of the reasons is the fact Flynn is not honest about his sexual preferences. I understood why he did that, but I didn’t like the fact this aspect of the story created more drama that was necessary. (especially since they are married now) Also the story dragged a little and some of the main characters� thoughts were a little bit repetitive. I love that they love each other, but I didn’t need a remind with every chapter. Like I mentioned, Natalie was a great character in this installment and overall I liked her. However there was scene where she pissed me off a little, The plot overall was great, but it was also convenient at times. (how she finds out about Flynn’s ‘secret�).
Overall, what can I say? This was a great book with a good plot and lovely characters. As usual Marie Force's writing is flawless and captivating and I'm looking forward to read the third and final book in the series!

This is book #2 of the Quantum series, and again it was a book that I devoured and enjoyed.
Even though Natalie and Flynn fell for each other very quick in the first book, I just didn't seem to mind. I loved the fact that in this series so far, they are always trying to work things out together rather than having a ton of unecessary drama. So, in this series, we get a ton of love, romance and sex; instead of cheating, heartache, and no communication. It is refreshing, especially since it seems like the romance genre has been having the couples apart more than they are together.
The main complaint about this series is that a lot of readers feel it is too sweet. I can for sure agree that it is like that; but the author makes up for the sweetness with some very hot sex!!
All in all, I am loving this series, and I am happy that I am able to start book #3 right away. There was a bit of a cliffy in this story! I am for sure a fan of M.S. Forces work, and I can't wait to finish reading this awesome series!!

En cuanto terminé con Escándalo necesité el siguiente y al fin a caído en mis manos Fantasía, el segundo de la trilogía Celebrity de M.S.Force ¿Es igual de adictivo que el primero? Sí, y me confirmo que es más adictivo aun. He pasado capitulo tras capitulo sin parar, por desgracia el libro me ha durado muy poco y ahora tengo que esperar hasta la publicación del último, Éxtasis.
En Fantasía, más que continuar, la historia de Flynn y Natalie evoluciona. Juntos deben superar el pasado de Natalie que salió a la luz al final del anterior libro. Se plantea una tarea difícil no tanto por la parte “pública� del asunto como de la parte privada, la relación entre ambos. Debido a los gustos secretos de Flynn el pasado de Natalie es algo que se alza entre ellos y que en cierto modo esta impidiendo que su relación adquiera otros niveles y Flynn pueda mostrarse tal como es.
Él sigue decidido a ocultarle sus gustos sexuales a Natalie, renunciando por completo a ellos en pos de un futuro con Natalie ¿Pero podrá mantenerse así para siempre? Porque la relación entre ellos se afianza de una forma permanente en el transcurso de este libro, pero la sombra de ese lado de Flynn siempre está ahí acechando.
Además en este libro aparecen nuevos baches en el camino como son la ex-mujer de Flynn, un asesinato y las decisiones acerca del futuro juntos. La cantidad de escenas eróticas aumenta en Fantasía en comparación con Escándalo, en el cual Force solo nos mostró unas pinceladas de su potencial a la hora de crear estas escenas. Aunque contiene un lenguaje “en bruto� las escenas están narradas con elegancia y gusto, siempre predominando el romance en estos momentos de la novela.
El final vuelve a ser de infarto, parece que a M.S.Force le gustan los Cliffhangers ¡Deseando conocer el final de esta historia en Éxtasis!

I love Marie Force and believe she can do no wrong. Gotta say though, this wasn't 100% greatness for me. I rated the first book of the series four stars...and I'm going with three on this one. Three means I liked it - so don't start the witch hunt yet. I can't bring myself to add in the "really" to bump this up another star.
There's still a lot (near-on overload) of flowery, can't live without you, everything is perfect, perfect hero/heroine, kissy-face "I love you" business - and this is where I start rolling my eyes and skimming. I want these characters to work harder to get where they're going and have less repetitive inner monologue about all the perfection or what they're hiding. Angst - I need angst!
Sure this isn't all hearts and flowers. Our heroine is dealing with a very private and major trauma being made public and continuing to battle her own fears and triggers with a sexual relationship. She's got "instant celebrity" problems that would overwhelm just about everyone. Her dog still hates Mr. Perfect. Our hero has his own big secret that's come out in a not-good way and has the potential to do irrevocable damage with his lady love. He's also got 'wants-n-needs' he probably can't deny acting on much longer considering where his fingers have been roaming and the discovery of his personal Red Room of Pain. His best friend is coming around but still being a dick. There's an FBI agent poking around due to an off-screen dastardly deed. We don't know where the heroine's father is - is he going to rear his ugly head? We don't know about her mom either...hmm. We definitely have elements here for serious drama.
I just feel the scales are tipped far more toward "Fairytale Perfection" than "Angsty Drama" and that's really not my thing.
There's still hope with the way this book left off. But I think this series could have been reduced to one book instead of drawn out to three by eliminating some of the repetition. Thank GOD we don't have to wait a year or more for each book - that would be painful.

4 more swoony stars
This book is a direct continuation of Natalie and Flynn’s story which began in . In order to avoid spoilers, I'm going to try and keep this vague, but make sure you read book 1 first! (You can read my review here).
This book picks up immediately where Virtuous left off, with Natalie reeling from a devastating betrayal. This book has a darker tone than the first one as the horrors of Natalie’s past are fully revealed, and she has to deal with it in a way she could never have imagined. The scenes are heartbreaking, but the way that Flynn stands by her, along with his friends and family, is absolutely beautiful.
But not even devastation such as that can stop true love, and Natalie and Flynn’s relationship keeps zooming forward at a great pace. They are amazing together and they have a wonderfully functional relationship with lots of communication and sharing of feelings, and it’s so refreshing to read. Once again, it’s uber romantic with lots of swoony moments, lots of ‘awwwwww� moments, and this time around, a whole heap of sexy time!
But Flynn is still keeping a big secret from her �
His continued silence is a thorn in his side, he knows he’s essentially lying to the woman he loves and it definitely doesn’t sit well with him. I can completely understand where he’s coming from though � he loves Natalie more than life, and he wants nothing more than to protect her and make her happy, so he has made this sacrifice for her, truly believing it’s for the best, and you have to admire what he’s willing to do for his girl.
But his secret isn’t going to stay hidden, and I read with a great sense of anticipation, knowing that there would have to come a moment of confrontation and just waiting to see how it’s all going to play out. Add to that a new drama unfolding that threatens their happiness , and it looks like the fairy tale might just be over.
I’m really enjoying Flynn and Natalie’s story. I felt that this instalment had a bit more depth to it, and I liked it even more than the first. But even with the added drama in this book, it’s still essentially a fluff-fest filled with sensational romance, lots of starry eyed declarations and passionate encounters. It’s a book where you need to suspend reality for just a little bit and get swept up in the wonder and romance of an all-consuming love.
The story ends on yet another cliffy (this one worse than the first), but it sets up the final instalment of the series really well, and I’m excited to see how Flynn and Natalie will deal with this final hurdle between them and their happy ever after.
I loved it � 4 stars.

I knew from the first chapter I would like this book more than the previous one. The story picks up right where “Virtuous� left off. Natalie and Flynn have just returned to NYC from their first outing as an official couple at the Golden Globe Awards. Someone has leaked Natalie’s true identity to the press. When Natalie was 15, she was sexually assaulted in an especially brutal manner by the former governor of Nebraska. All the details of the subsequent trial have been made public and there’s a paparazzi feeding frenzy. On top of everything else, Natalie has just been fired from her teaching job.
Natalie shuts down but this is where Flynn shines as we see him go into caregiver/problem-solver mode. The crisis brings the couple closer than ever; however, now that Natalie’s secrets are out in the open, Flynn feels increasingly more guilty about hiding his true nature from her. Nonetheless, because he now knows about her past and is aware of her triggers, Flynn is more certain than ever Natalie will reject him if he reveals his BDSM lifestyle preferences.
Yes, there are times the dialogue is corny and the romantic timetable moves forward unrealistically fast. However, it’s a fantasy and one in which I was inclined to indulge primarily because I liked the both the premise and Flynn so much. The concept of a man, particularly a sexually dominant one, willing to compromise some of his darker desires for the perceived well-being of the woman he loves is refreshing.
This book cranks up the steam factor significantly but there are also some sweet bedroom scenes interwoven. A playful banter between Flynn and Natalie is introduced which I found endearing. Factor in a faster pace, Hollywood glamour, and a cliffhanger and you have an enjoyable series that offers a nice means of escapism. I’m ready for the final book.

This is not working for me. Everything's just... too *sweet* and corny. I tolerated this first book and I was hoping it would get better and grittier. Anyway, I don't feel like swooning and I can barely stop myself from rolling my eyes at all the supposedly "aww" moments. Just not for me, I think.

Más entretenido que el primero, acaba con un cliffhanger que te deja esperando el tercero con ganas.

Cheating:

My review:
This was a continuation of Flynn and Natalie's story. Their relationship definitely progresses and Natalie is learning to deal with the aftermath of her secrets being revealed for everyone to know. Of course, we get to see more of Flynn just being the terrible romantic that he is.
AND
I loved how Flynn was willing to give up his past life with BDSM just to have a chance at happiness with Natalie. He was completely satisfied with his sex life regardless if they hadn't really ventured into the things he liked to do. He would rather have her in his life, then die without her.
I won't say much more regarding the plot, but I am enjoying this series! On to the next :)

I run a finger over the pulse in his cheek that legs me know how difficulty this is for him. "Having sex with me is like playing with dynamite without knowing where the fuse is."
"Having sex with you is like the closest thing to heaven I've experienced on this earth, Natalie. There's nothing that could happen that would change that. "
AND
"Flynn, you have to know the whole world is talking about you and your lovely wife today. You once said very publicly that you'd never marry again. What was it about Natalie that made you change your mind?"
I look at her gauzing up at me with those expressive eyes that had me from the first second I met her. "Everything. Every. Single. Thing."

I really don't know why did I continue this. I should've drop this sooner. The story was so..so..sooo utterly sweet that I had too many eye rollings moment.
The premise was good and I really like the story but the romance was too sweet and chessy to my liking. The first book was okay but this one, it didn't peaked my interest of continuing this book. So, overall rating is 3 stars though I really want to know what will happen with Flynn and Nat after their marriage but I just couldn't read it anymore. Nuff said.

Wow! Another bombshell cliffhanger ending! How did it get to this point? Never pays to lie...ever! Like book 1, Valorous is an emotional rollercoaster ride of intense & erotic emotions, but with some much needed humorous relief provided mostly by Fluff, the 14 year old dog who loves to bear her 10 teeth! HaHa! So much love - how can it go so wrong? Needless to say, I'm on into book 3 to find answers! Another Must Read!

After the cliff-hanger the 1st book left me, I was so needy to read this one; and it didn’t disappoint me at all.
It is a fast-paced, intense and emotional book. The love scenes are great, Flynn hasn’t reveal his secret yet and is willing to change the way of his sex life just for Natalie-how sweet is that?

So I really really enjoyed this whirlwind romance. The beginning picks up right where the last one ended.... I truly feel bad for them as a couple. Their love is so new and they are trying so hard but are facing things that would be hard for the strongest of couples. Now throughout this book there are some of the sweetest things, like Flynn is so sweet It is all so perfect and amazing. Then we get to the point where

Trilogy review (books 1, 2 and 3 in the series)
The Quantum Trilogy is written by M.S. Force, the erotic alter-ego of New York Times Bestselling author Marie Force.
The first three books in the series (Virtuous, Valorous and Victorious) is the story of Natalie Bryant and Flynn Godfrey. Natalie is a New York City teacher with a past, a dark past that painfully unfolds while being well tied to the story and Flynn is one of the hottest man in Hollywood. Flynn’s present is the catalyst for much of this story, his fame and the attention it garnishes felt so true to what so many celebrities go through.
I loved Flynn and Natalie’s story; this story is not rushed as it beautifully folds through three books. Life throws these two challenges as secrets are revealed but you will never question the love these two share or their commitment to each other! They love each other fully and support each other.
As Flynn and Nat face challenges, you will find yourself wishing for them to find a way to balance her past with his present toward a forever happy!
It’s so odd to be on both character’s sides…as this trilogy came to a tipping point, I completely understood why Natalie left and totally understand why Flynn kept the truth hidden. A catch 22 that was extremely well written by MS Force as she has the reader somehow rooting for both characters! I am thrilled to have read these books straight through as I was able to live in the moment with Flynn and Natalie as they worked to hold onto their love.
Flynn is a male lead readers can fall in love with; he adored Natalie, he puts her first, and he supports her through so much as this story unfolds! He does so many acts of kindness throughout this story, they speak volumes to his character. It is clear when you meet his parents that they raised a wonderful man. Flynn’s parents were excellent role models and added to the story especially as some of the struggles are faced.
Oh, I loved how the trilogy name played into this one!
I am so happy I was able to read this wonderful story straight through, happy I was able to live in the moment and experience the whole journey with Flynn and Natalie.
This trilogy makes for a great binge read, maybe a long weekend or even a long plane ride; you can dive in and enjoy this beautifully written happy!
I was pleased to see there is a book 4, Rapturous, this one about Flynn’s best friend, Hadyen!
I loved Hayden in this trilogy, he always had Flynn’s best interest in mind, oh and he has a super hot scene in book 3 but more than that I hope he grabs what he wants, and what he wants is Addie (Flynn’s personal assistant).
I should add if you are fan of Marie Force’s writing you will really enjoy this. I didn’t find these books that much hotter (ok will maybe book 3) than her Green Mountain series and like that series, it has story woven with sex so if you are a fan of her writing 1click as it is sex woven with a wonderful story!
P.S. I also have to add read closely before you dive in as the three books have similar looking names so make sure to start with book 1 (yes I made that mistake on the beach in the sun glare and had to go back).

4.5 Stars. WOW! What to say…Whew this one is a jam packed, whirlwind of a story. Flynn continues to be Mr. Wonderfully Perfect and deeply in love with Natalie. Okay, okay, Natalie is growing on me in leaps and bounds. She’s come out of her goodie-goodie demeanor and coming into her own. Her secret’s revealed in full blown detail thanks to the press and Flynn is charging to her defense and taking care of her in every way a devoted, super rich movie star has the resources and clout to do. You know, true love and all. Flynn gets a standing ovation in his efforts here. Anything and everything for his girl. (Ann has hands clapping and grinning like crazy don’t you know).
Flynn’s still keeping his need for dominance and all things kink under wraps, now worried more than ever he’ll totally scare the crap out of Natalie. He’s trying to convince himself he doesn’t need the BSDM lifestyle and can resist his internal Dom. (Ha, yea right Flynn…good luck with changing those spots). But that good ole inner Dom keeps trying to come to the surface throughout the sexual part of the story and Flynn has inner conflict out the whazoo.
Their wonderful perfect life comes to a screecher of a halt when Natalie gets clued into what Flynn is all about on the sex front when his witch of an ex-wife gives her the heads up. Natalie finds Flynn’s playroom and oops, the jig is up. Cue in the DUN-DUN-DUN drama sound bite and here we are at the cliffy ending�.Natalie confronts Flynn and is right out the door when poor ole squirming Flynn fibs about what he’s into. So�
I’ve just hit the highlights here. I’ve left all the good parts and great detail out of this review. That’s for you to learn for yourself and wallow in while delightfully enjoying a story that’s unique in its own way.
Saying I can't wait for the conclusion in bk 3 due out next Tuesday (4/28/15) is an over anxious reader's understatement.

Really same view for each book. The couple moved so quickly along into a relationship It made me dizzy. Not impressed bought all 3 books so I felt I had to read them. This book is a rip off of 50 Shades and Crossfire series. I had zero connection with the heroine and thought the hero was lack luster. I wasn't compelled to follow their romance and want more. I thought it was impractical how Natalie fell so quickly in love, after 8years and with a traumatic life experience too boot. I also thought the author took too much from 50 Shades and Crossfire yet didn't fully explain for example why Flynn was so passionate about hunger. Your a privileged movie star that comes from a privileged back ground. What do you know about being hungry? At least in the books I've mentioned we learn why the 2 "hero's" are passionate about their causes. I had a really hard time making a connection with either of the main characters. I felt that this book was written to showcase BDSM with a weak story. I have zero problem reading BDSM but I want a story to go with the book and in my opinion the stories were lacking.

Un second tome dans la lignée du précédent, qui rempli à merveille mes espérances et ce malgré quelques scènes qui auront eu le don de m'agacer et de me faire lever les yeux au ciel. La fin est une délicieuse torture et j'ai hâte de connaître l'épilogue.

Es ist nicht weltbewegend, nichts absolut Neues, gar nicht allzu viel Story aber sehr emotional. Und mir gefällts.
Die Geschichte der jungen Lehrerin, die sich von Männern fern gehalten hat und ihre Vergangenheit um jeden Preis verbergen wollte, und dem Hollywood Star, der nach dem sehr unglücklichen Ende seiner ersten Ehe keine zweite in Betracht zieht, geht weiter.
Genau dort wo der erste Teil mit einem Cliffhanger geendet hat und wird noch emotionaler und fesselnder als Virtuous.
Natürlich überdenken die beiden gemeinsam alles. Aber dann holt ihre Vergangenheit sie ein, sie ist verzweifelt und fühlt sich gedemütigt, er gibt sich die Schuld und will sie rächen. Er zeigt ihr, dass sie ihm bedingungslos vertrauen kann und sie ist froh, dass es keine Geheimnisse mehr zwischen ihnen gibt. Das denkt sie zumindest, bis seine Vergangenheit dazwischenkommt...
Flynn ist der vielschichtige Charakter, den man kennt. Pflichtbewusst, fürsorglich und liebevoll. Aber mit einer dunklen Seite.
Natalie gefällt mir immer besser. Sie ist stark, sympathisch und klug und entwickelt sich immer weiter. Ihre Geschichte ist so emotional und wird mit jeder neuen Enthüllung immer schlimmer. Vor allem wenn man erfährt, wie ihre Eltern sie traumatisiert und misshandelt alleine zurückgelassen haben, um sich auf die Seite ihre Vergewaltigers zu stellen.
Genau die Dinge, die mich im ersten Teil genervt haben gab es hier noch mehr und noch extremer. Das geht mir alles zu schnell. Eine Dauerschleife aus Liebesbekundungen, dazwischen denkt er an Quantum und seinen Drang, zweifelt an sich und versucht sich selbst zu überzeugen. Und dann werden sie von ihrem unerzogenen Hund unterbrochen und lachen darüber.
Aber die beiden haben genug Drama zu verarbeiten, es gibt auch genug Höhen und Tiefen, so dass es nicht langweilig wird. Und mit dem Verlauf wird es immer besser, seine Freunde, ihre Familie, seine Ex-Frau, ihre Freundinnen - von außen kommt auch immer mehr zusammen, was es nochmal interessanter macht. Und am Ende war ich richtig begeistert, auch wenn es genau da leicht an Shades of Grey erinnert.
Ich freue mich auf Victorious und hoffe es kommt mehr von ihrer Familie.

I'm not sure how this book got such a high rating. My only guess is that if you made it through the first book, you must have enjoyed it enough to go for the second. I did not read the first book, so I was a bit lost at first. The book throws you right into the story as if there was no previous story. Why did Force think that was the best place for a cliffhanger in the first book? Then again, the cliffhanger in this book is just as odd. I honestly believe these three books could have been condensed into a single book. Nothing really happens! There is a lot of emotional baggage that gets unloaded in the most repetitive fashion, but there is so little plot. And the characters (especially Natalie) are so unbelievable.

This book picks up immediately where the first one left off. Natalie's strength and resilience really shine through here, and it is interesting to see events unfold. I loved the twists and surprises of the love story and the ending was another "Oh, Crap!" moment for me. Once again, I immediately rushed to the next book on finishing this one!

This series was not what I expected. I'm enjoying it very much:) Flynn and Natalie are wonderful characters that make you root for an HEA. Things are looking grim at the end of book 2, but pulling for them both!

Catching up again with Flynn and Natalie is even better the second time round.
I was invested with their story from book one.
With Natalie’s past laid bear for the world to see she’s a broken mess. With Flynn rushing to her side we find out more about what she went through as a teenager at the hands of a trusted family friend.
Still reeling with all that has come out Flynn knows now he can never share his lifestyle with Natalie. He makes the choice for them both. His only conscious thought is she has no clue so she’ll never know any different.
Back in LA with the support of Flynn and his Hollywood friends Natalie starts to emerge from the nightmare she had thrust upon her. But knowing a no comment to the press is not going to satisfy everyone she convinces Flynn that they need to do an interview get it all out and hopefully close the matter for good. When Flynn Godfrey implies that marriage is the in the future both Natalie and Carolyn the interviewer are shocked. He’d once stated publicly he’d never marry again so to hear these words is a huge surprise to both of them.
It’s an absolute world wind from here. Moving quickly to I do! The love he has for her is nothing short of swoon worthy romance. His friends and family are on board, well all but one Hayden his best friend. He thinks Flynn holding back who he really is, is going to come back to haunt him.
Flynn is adamantly resigned to keeping it from her. There’s no way she’d be able to handle it. He’d rather lose that part of himself than her.
But secrets have a way of coming out. Throw in a vindictive ex wife and you have a recipe in the making. If that’s not enough drama than there’s also the attorney who outed Natalie’s past who turns up dead. An FBI Agent with a hard-on to pin the crime to Flynn and your sucked completely in.
When Natalie stumbles into Hayden's secret room she finds out more than she expected. Hayden’s involvement in the BDSM lifestyle has her brimming with questions for Flynn who pleads ignorance to the whole thing.
She asks him several times if there’s something he wants to share but he doggedly denies his past. She lets it go until a phone call in the middle of the night reveals Flynn’s deception.
When she confronts Flynn he lies to her face. But with proof it all comes undone spectacularly.
I seriously can’t rate this enough. An absolute must read the journey is so moving you feel it all. The love, anguish and the happiness. About to dive into book three.

Marie Force - Quantum: Furchtlos
eBook - 338 Seiten
Oh man, nachdem der erste Teil so toll war, hab ich mich echt auf den 2. gefreut.
Aber was soll ich sagen, "Furchtlos" konnte mich leider nicht so sehr überzeugen wie sein Vorgänger.
Das lag nicht an der Geschichte ansich - die war wieder toll erzählt, mit wirklich tiefen Einblicken in die meisten Charaktere.
Was mich hier so massiv gestört hat, dass ich am Ende tatsächlich eine Stern abziehe, ist das permanente, allgegenwärtige Liebesgesäusel - Ich liebe sie so sehr weil� Ich liebe ihn so unendlich�
Spätestens nach dem 10. Mal hätte selbst der dümmste Leser kapiert, dass die beiden sich abgöttisch lieben - ab dem 11. Mal wird es somit ziemlich überflüssig und nervt nur noch.
Hätte man das alles auf das nötige Minimum eingestampft, wäre die Story wahrscheinlich gut 50 Seiten kürzer, ließe sich aber ohne großes Augen-verdrehen bequem lesen.
Ich hoffe, dass sich das Ganze im 3. Teil wieder etwas legt - zumal wenn man bedenkt, worum es hier eigentlich geht.
Und wenn ich mir jetzt im Nachhinein die Szene noch mal vor Augen führe, hat mich das Ende doch sehr an ein anderes, "fesselndes" Buch erinnert - sicher Zufall ;-)

Y continúa la saga... La narrativa de este libro sigue siendo bastante buena, y el desarrollo de sus personajes hace que dejes de lado que tan solo se conocen por 2 semanas cuando ya quieren casarse.
Aunque me disfruté leerme esta novela (tanto que me la leí en un día) y sigo encantada con su protagonista, me estresó un poco toda la vuelta que le dan al asunto del secreto de Flynn.... al que ya mencionaba bastante en el primer libro y que aquí tarda en descubrirse sus "peculiares" gustos en la cama.
En general vale la pena leerse esta serie de romance.

Aburrido, predecible, flojo en trama y en desarrollo. Olviden lo que dije sobre Flynn en el primero, ahora no me cae tan bien. Me preguntó si todas estas autoras se informan o siquiera hablan con gente del BDSM, no se... Un poco más de investigación de campo por favor y sobretodo respecto por esto que para muchas personas es un estilo de vida.
