Watch Me by Stacey Kennedy is a feel-good romance with an intense emotional story, well drawn hero and heroine, and secondary characters that demand their own stories.
This is the first in a series about the Phoenix Club, a sex club started by Rhys Harrington, after the death of his college girlfriend. Rhys uses the club to keep his distance from women for anything except sex until the night Zoey Parker came in as a virgin for a show at the club. Due to the sensitive nature of this show, Rhys always handled virgins himself. What he didn’t know was that Zoey had an ulterior motive for appearing in the show-revenge against the two men who gave her a date-rape drug and posted photos of her naked on the web, destroying her life.
After just one night with Zoey, Rhys is enamored and offers to help her fight her way back to normalcy. But Rhys has his own secret flaws. Can these two damaged souls help each other back to a bright future together?
I loved the story, but there were a couple of issues. One was the setting: billionaire businessman falls for a dog groomer, in a club developed strictly for sex. The other was the motivation for the men who ruined Zoey. The devastation they caused felt personal, but there was no reason given for it. Once past those two issues, the story draws the reader in, and weaves a spell as charming as Rhys himself.
Overall, it was a delightful book, and worthy of being the first in an intriguing series.
