Synopsis
Belle’s story begins in the captivating fourth installment of the New York Times bestselling series.
I made myself a promise: No men. No romance. No waiting around for a prince that’s not going to come. Because some girls don’t get happily ever afters. Some girls only get broken hearts.
Which is exactly why I should stay away from him. He’s vile. He’s arrogant. He’s controlling. And I don’t trust him.
But some men get into your blood—under your skin. Some men you just can’t get enough of.
Some men you just crave.
This a full-length novel. It’s recommended you read the previous books, but not necessary to enjoy the story.
Review
I loved Belle in Alexander and Clara’s books, and I couldn’t wait for her story. She’s always played a part for everyone in her life, but she never really had anything for herself. In Crave Me, Geneva Lee introduces Belle to the man she needs to help free herself from her family/life’s constrains, but it comes at a price because the man who owns her body and her heart is a man full of secrets and surrounded by dangerous people, so Belle is going to need to decide if she can live with all of his predilections and the mystery that surrounds his life or refuse to give into her cravings for him, which is not an easy decision when the heart and body want one thing and the mind is saying something completely different.
Smith Price is an enigma throughout the story; there are multiple layers to his personality as well as his duplicity, and it’s quite unclear what his end game is with Belle and his associates. But one thing is for sure, Price is a calculated man who takes risks, but those actions have to be worth it, and it seems as if Belle was meant to be one thing and then turned into something else, and he doesn’t quite know what to do with that yet, but he’s working on it. I’m glad Ms. Lee gives readers Price’s perspective because it’s necessary to understand the strategies behind his decisions and the conflicting feelings he has as he starts a physical relationship with Belle.
Geneva Lee expertly crafts a tale of sex, intrigue, and passion. Belle didn’t want to give into her desire for Price, but through Lee’s writing, readers understand that it was inevitable because he made her feel more alive than she’s ever been. But the danger is lurking and readers will have to wait for the continuation of Belle’s story to see what Price is willing to do/sacrifice for the woman who seems to own his soul.
