ARC Review: Schooled by Lorelei James

“Only an author as talented as Lorelei James can capture the emotion and sensuality that the characters are going through at each moment.  SCHOOLED excelled in that aspect for me and it made the book endearing to my heart.” ~ Under the Covers

Just when you think you’ve read the whole story about a couple, there’s more left to be revealed!   In SCHOOLED Lorelei James takes us to the core of who Ronin is.  While on their honeymoon, Ronin and Amery travel to Japan for some fun and sexy times, as well as some training for Ronin with his Master.  And this book is very much Ronin’s story.

SCHOOLED is deep and sensual, more so than sexual.  What an incredible job by Lorelei James at giving the perfect insight into martial arts and how it goes beyond the physical.  She incorporates the facts so well within the story that I was in awe of her execution.  Not only in that aspect, but also the beauty of Kinbaku.  There was one particular rope scene involving a cherry tree that was just blissful perfection.  I shows an understanding of the topics she’s writing about, and a good amount of research.

Only an author as talented as Lorelei James can capture the emotion and sensuality that the characters are going through at each moment.  SCHOOLED excelled in that aspect for me and it made the book endearing to my heart.  While I wasn’t necessarily as anxious to read a novella about Ronin and Amery because, quite frankly, I’m biting my nails waiting for Shiori’s book, this was just what I was missing in their story.  It gives Ronin even more depth and it sets up Amery as a worthy companion for the rest of his life.  At the beginning I was surprised that some (most?) of the sex scenes fade to black, but I see why it would’ve taken away from the story had they been there taking up space.  If you’ve fallen in love with these two characters, you will be very pleased with this ending for them.

Of course, the teaser at the end for UNRAVELED left me even more anxious to read it!   Come on March, hurry up and get here already!
