Bloom by Helen Hardt - eARC Review

 

DESCRIPTION
Under his touch, your every desire will…Bloom.

Today is the day Francesca Thomas was supposed to get married. All she wants is a stiff drink and a whole lot of distraction…which is exactly when she meets him. Tall, dark, and deliciously disguised, the man known only as Phantom awakens her every sense. All Frankie really knows about him is the raw, untamed chemistry that makes her want to relinquish herself—body and soul—to his touch…

Phantom has rules, all designed to protect his identity. No names. No personal information. But Frankie is a too-tempting ingenue who threatens all of his cautious, careful control. At the ultra-exclusive Black Rose Underground Club, he can explore each of her deepest, uncharted desires…so long as he keeps his public life—and his secrets—hidden.

Frankie’s ready to explore what lies between them. The intensity, the darkness, and the unyielding pleasure of it all. But while the mystery of Phantom is thrilling, secrets are one game she won’t play. And if she’s going to explore the forbidden, she’ll begin with finding out exactly who’s under the mask…

REVIEW
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I hadn’t read this author for several years, and reading Bloom was akin to riding a bike. You just don’t forget (referring to the writing style). One of the queens of spice has done it again with Bloom, book two in her Black Rose series, which is also a standalone.

The FMC, Frankie, is feeling so vulnerable after a failed almost-marriage and drowns her sorrows at a bar, but this bar happens to be where she meets a masked suitor who simply goes by “Phantom.” He wishes to maintain privacy regarding his personal life and riles her curiosity in the world of BDSM. Their magnetic attraction expands, testing each other’s boundaries in more ways than one.

Helen Hardt does it again with this piping hot, steamy read you won’t want to miss! Looking forward to the next installment in the series.
