The One Awakened (One Trilogy #1)
by
Alexandra North
Book 1 in The One Trilogy
It began a decade ago with a spilt drink and a missed opportunity amongst two people destined to be together. Now ten years on, sexually frustrated Lucia Myers is seeing her friend as though it were the first time…
Everything changed that Tuesday night when Lucia Myer’s millionaire best friend Sebastian Silver returned home after months working abroad. She took one look at his spine-tingling face and in that moment he stole her breath away, for the second time in a decade…
As a single-mother, her priorities have changed; the only man in he life is her 3year old son Finn. Encouraged by her girlfriends she’s begun to date, but now, staring at Seb with fresh eyes, his appearance suddenly unfamiliar to her and physique making her mouth water - Lu decides that he should be the one to encourage her inner wantonness. What were friends for - if not to help when one was in need?
She forms a plan… a proposition of sorts; one night of pleasure, I’m open to anything, with no ties - the text reads. It couldn’t have been simpler.
She wants to be awakened by someone she can truly trust; one with a skilled repertoire with the ladies and one who will never want more from her – cue Sebastian - the ultimate alpha player!
Sebastian accepts her offer, but only on his terms, introducing rules that she must adhere to. He decides where, when, and that one night would not be enough to truly take Lucia to new heights and show her how it should be really be done! One month it is then…
The heat between them is scorching; the constant fight for control undeniable, as they struggle between the blurred lines of the term ‘mates’. Together they sizzle, but apart they are broken. They must become strangers, and forget their friendship to become lovers, for Lucia to fulfill her desires and for Sebastian to awaken her in a way no other man has achieved.
Soon their time will come to an end; can they ever go back to just being friends?
Forces from their past and present try to destroy their future and all the while, Lucia has this feeling that she is being watched, by another…
The One awakened is romantic, seductive, witty, full of angst, and will make you wish you had your very own Sebastian Silver to proposition.
REVIEW:
I truly don't even know where to begin with this review or how to explain how much I absolutely loved this book!!! I very quickly fell so in love with Sebastian and Lulu. This one really has it all, love, heartache, some serious steam and friendship. How do you handle falling in love with your best friend? Or how do you right a wrong that happened a decade ago? Those are definitely the questions for Lulu and Seb. And did I mention how absolutely delicious Seb is. Good lord that man has me weak in the knees and that is seriously not done often. Every single thing he does and says just made me melt. How he is with Finn who is Lulu's son made my heart melt even more. And then there is the secondary characters. Abs and Nathan I loved, Gino and Suzie I loved, Toni and Chris I wanted to push off a ledge, and Leo I didn't mind until the end and then he just gave me the creeps. And then there's Lulu's ex and father of her child Niall, I just HATE him. I will warn you this is a cliffy and even knowing that going into it, I still wanted to throw my iPad and yell and scream at the author. It was perfectly written and broke my heart and then completely threw me for a loop wondering what the hell was going to happen. Please hurry with the next book Ms. North. I am dying here!!! I see a new series to be bought in paperback in the very near future!! If I could give this more than 5 stars I would because honestly it was that good!!! I AM TOTALLY IN LOVE and can NOT wait to read what happens next!!!
A copy was gifted in exchange for an honest review.
