I began exploring Audrey Carlan's work on a different platform before returning to my Kindle to discover more of her books. Now, I find myself engrossed in her series. I've enjoyed the Calendar Girl series, Auction Series #1, and am currently reading Auction 2, along with the Soul Sister Novels, among others. Once I started the first book of the Trinity series, I was hooked and read it straight through, and now I'm eagerly moving on to book #2.Gillian (Gigi) Callahan is portrayed as a resilient, successful, and self-reliant woman. She has endured significant pain from a previous relationship and is focusing on personal growth to advance in life. She excels in her role at a non-profit charity, which she adores. During a night out at a bar, she encounters an irresistibly attractive man named Chase Davis.The words that Ms. Carlan uses to create Chase have made him so vivid in my mind. The descriptives used for how he smells, sandalwood and citrus, to her nickname of Superman because of his control and take-charge ways, he lives in my Kindle, and I have many bookmarked scenes that I can go back and visit anytime I need to. There is also a sweetness, almost a reverence, in the way he loves and protects Gillian that make my heart melt! But let's not forget that this is an erotic read, the heat is off the charts and when I read the erotic scenes between the 2, mind blown. I guess if you don't like chivalry, you would not like how Chase treats her like his possession, but after both of them revealed their secrets of the abuse that they went through, you can't understand both their positions. Gigi fears that if she relinquishes control to Chase, he might mistreat her as her ex, Justin, did. Meanwhile, Chase believes he is protecting her by being attentive, yet he doesn't allow her space to breathe. However, it's important to remember that Chase is a billionaire who faces threats from others.I'm writing this review to inform you about a book that is both suspenseful and romantic, addressing the serious issue of abuse. It narrates from the perspective of a relationship in which a woman is abused to the brink of death, and another scenario where a child and his mother suffer abuse. In the latter, the mother intervenes to protect her child from the father's abuse, resulting in her disability but survival.I am loving this series.
