I really enjoyed this book. The sex scenes were hot, but there was also genuine emotion. The book was well-written, with only a minimum of typos. What prevented me from giving it five stars is that is ends leaving the reader COMPLETELY HANGING. Everything is unresolved. I was not expecting that, and I absolutely HATE IT when authors do this. Hate it. ( )

Okay romance/erotica, but c'mon it ends on a cliffhanger. WHY?!?! WHY should authors be allowed to do this? I get it, you want to force us into buying your next books but seriously. It should be outlawed. No one wants this. I promise. ( )

My Review:

There are misunderstandings and miscommunications and then there is what happens the night Rachel Foster decides to not pay attention and randomly hits the penthouse button in the elevator. When the doors open, Rachel is dressed to the nines, totally upset and, is taken for a hooker by the totally gorgeous man standing in the penthouse. As far as Landon Court is concerned, the hooker in the elevator is not his normal fare but she’ll do and he really must talk to his brother about actually listening to him. Landon specifically said he wasn’t interested in a hooker but who turns down a woman who looks like the lady in the elevator?? No sane man, that’s for sure.

Rachel Foster certainly isn’t a hooker but her heart is broken and maybe, just maybe a night of no-strings sex is just what she needs. The lickable man in the penthouse already thinks she’s easy so, what the hell!! Two very dirty rounds of sex later neither Rachel nor Landon can feel their legs and she is ready to get the hell out of dodge. The sex was amazing but Rachel isn’t stupid. The man thinks she’s a hooker and even though he asks her to leave his number, she knows she will never see him again. Until she does. Landon Court is not used to being denied and one night with Rachel the “hooker” just isn’t enough. When you’re a billionaire, you can set things in motion to your liking and within the week, Rachel finds herself once again face-to-face with the best sex of her life on two legs.

Landon is clear from the beginning, he is interested in Rachel and wants to be with her. Rachel is also very clear, she isn’t looking for anything beyond sex and if Landon can’t stick to that rule then there is really no point in them continuing their association. Not willing to give up so easily, Landon agrees to Rachel’s terms but ups the ante. Rachel is to accompany Landon to San Francisco for one week where he will continue to oversee the refurbishment of his latest hotel and she will write the article about the refurbishment and the imminent opening of the site. Determined to keep her emotions out of the mix and just enjoy the week, Rachel packs her bags and sets off for will turn into one of the best and worst weeks of her entire life.

From the moment they set foot in San Francisco, Rachel knows she will be hard-pressed to keep her emotions in check. Landon is at once commanding yet sweet, forceful yet tender and, beautiful but with an edge. He is the perfect man in every way but Rachel is terrified of putting herself on the line yet again. Her heart is already broken so no matter how much Landon impresses her, she is absolutely unwilling to take a chance. Unfortunately, Rachel’s recent heartbreak isn’t strong enough to overpower her emotions and feelings related to Landon and when the time comes, a fresh new wave of heartache sweeps through her as she walks away from the man she loves.

For three whole days . . . .

I’m not telling you the rest, you have to read it for yourself 

The Bottom Line: Holy sh*tballs, Batman!! Drawn to You is all kinds of sexy and emotional and I loved pretty much every minute of this read. I could go on and on about the things I really enjoyed about this book I am going to stick to the one significant factor that stood out for me. In a fine (and unusual!) twist, Serene Grey has given us a character in Landon Court who is not like all the rest. Landon is the one who wants more, from the beginning. Landon is the one who is willing to take a chance and ride the wave (and Rachel!) until it melds calmly with the rest of the ocean. Landon is the one who ultimately can’t walk away and even though he has some issues that he totally needs to work on, he is willing to do so if it means he can have Rachel. I LOVED THIS!! Usually it’s the girl pushing for more and more but not this time and I congratulate Serena Grey on offering something different!! As to the other bits and bobbles of this read: the plot is quite solid, most of the characters are quite likeable (except Rachel’s cousin, she sucks so hard!) and, the naughty bits are all kinds of panty-dropping good. By the end of this read, I found myself taken on quite the ride from the serious highs to the serious lows and everything in between. I’m not telling you how this one ends but I will tell you, I am cranky as Hell that book two isn’t ready to go yet :) ( )

Drawn To You is steamy from the beginning. The chemistry between Landon and Rachel is similar to 50 shades of grey, without the S&M. I would totally recommend it for those who appreciate a sexy romance novel. I had a hard time putting it down. My only complaint about this book is that I have to wait until book 2 to find out what really happens to Landon and Rachel! ( )
