While there was some compelling elements to the relationship between Elijah and Yves, there were some elements that made the story feel like tragedy porn. Not my favorite.
2 stars.

I've had this one on my list to get to for a long time...like since 2014. One of my goals of 2021 and now 2022 is to get my backlist completed, so why not kick of my 2022 clean up with something quick, spicy, and fun. In Her Closet is raunchy, sexy, and a quick, but packed with depth read. It starts off with a bang, taking readers right into one of Yves' famous one night stands, and ends with, well, a journey into self love and letting others in.
This one was fun, I enjoyed Yves' foray into a relationship, I just couldn't get over the writing. I know it's probably been edited since it's release when I got my hand on it, so I'll have to give it the benefit of the doubt and say it's just my 2014 copy that's lacking some editing attention. Otherwise, this one is great, with a developed main character, a heap of good looking men, tons of spicy fun, and character growth that makes it feel complete. Yves doesn't let her past own her, she doesn't let anyone own her except herself. I loved the idea of a woman owning her sex life, though I wish it hadn't been billed as "like a man," and I think the idea of The Lust Diaries blog was excellent. Unfortunately, where this one misses the mark, beyond the writing, was the BDSM journey Yves' embarks on. It's rushed, and feels like the true focal point of the story rather than that of Yves' personal journey.
It's a good start to a series, just wish there'd been more attention given to the characters rather than their sex lives.

I received an arc of this title for an honest review. This story was okay, but not really my kind of thing. I found the main character to be really annoying and inconsistent.
