Book Description
Luna
Saint Claire has a loving husband and an enviable career as a Hollywood
costume designer. Still, something is gnawing at her. Bored with her
conventional and circumscribed existence, she feels herself becoming
invisible. When she meets Nico Romero, a charismatic yoga guru, his
attentions awaken her passions and desires. Dangerous, but not in a way
that scares her, he makes her feel as if anything is possible.
Infatuated, she becomes entangled in Nico’s life as he uses his
mesmerizing sexuality to manipulate everyone around him in his pursuit
of women, wealth, and celebrity.
Immensely
erotic and psychologically captivating, The Sleeping Serpent is the
compelling story of a woman’s obsession with a spellbinding guru and the
struggle to reclaim her life. At its heart, it is a painfully beautiful
exposition of unconditional love that makes us question what we truly
want.
The
Sleeping Serpent is a different type of read. It's not a fluffy
romance. I really wasn't sure what to expect when reading this one. I
loved the foreword in this book. I sometimes skip over those things
but this one is definitely worth reading. After I read the foreword, I
knew I was in for an thought provoking read.
The
story pulled me right in. I wasn't sure whether to like or hate Nico.
At first I thought maybe he doesn't realize what he's doing but he
does. Nico was a way of hooking women and pulling them. Luna is married to Tyler but when Nico comes into her life she feels the pull to him. Luna has self doubt and insecurities which Nico feed on.
This book is very different from other books I have read. I found myself pulled in and I didn't want to put it down.
