It was very suspenseful and is surrounded in a mystery that reporter Holly is trying to uncover about the Christmas Family! When she is contacted by her old college classmate Bryan, she has no idea what awaits her at the Christmas Mansion. She also has no idea who she can trust and who she can’t!! This makes this book a very quick read because you just can’t put it down! You have to find out what happens next! And now I have to find out what happens in the next book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review: Beware Cliffhanger but enough mystery and intrigue I don't care! - If you have read any of my previous reviews by now you know that there are something's I really dislike in a novel. For instance more sex then plot. Or too much reality without a happily ever after. But I especially dislike cliffhangers! And if I have to wait months or a year to get the next book I become extremely agitated. Intrigued by Z.L. Arkadie is part of a trilogy so a cliffhanger was anticipated. But by the time I got to the end of the book I was so intrigued (pun intended) with the mystery that I screamed in frustration when I reached the cliff! After I got my household to settle down, I realized the rest of the series was already available, so all is not lost. My only problem now is my overflowing To Be Read Shelf and reaching the limit of this month's book allowance. Oh to be as rich as the Christmases in Z.L. Arkadie's Intrigued! So putting cliffhangers aside let's discuss what I liked about this novel. There is plenty of hot panty melting sex but it is very well blended in the plot. In fact who is involved with whom is a large part of the intrigue. The other part of the mystery is whether or not the sex is consensual as well as the hint of a dominant-submissive theme. The characters are developed over time, naturally as the main character, Holly Henderson, renowned investigative reporter, gets to know them , as a guest of the Christmases over the holidays. This again adds to the suspense as you become aware that not everyone is as straight forward as they seem. I especially loved Harper Christmas the main male character. Harper has that Gothic hero/villain vibe to him. In fact the whole family mansion at the holidays With a group of family and outsiders has that Gothic historical novel feel to it. I loved those novels as a kid so maybe that's why I got so caught up in this novel. The suspense gave me that spine tingling feeling of excitement as I was drawn further and further into the story. And as I said before, even knowing, the author was going to leave me hanging from the side of a cliff, I was so absorbed in the story, I never saw it coming until I turned the last page. The wait to read the second book may just kill me! Ok so I was never good with delayed gratification! You can bet your bottom dollar , I will finish the Jasper Christmas trilogy, sooner rather than later! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,130,928 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,351 in Enemies to Lovers Romance #12,808 in Billionaires & Millionaires Romance #31,260 in Romantic Suspense (Books) | | Book 1 of 3 | The Blackstones: The Forbidden Billionaire | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (3,760) | | Dimensions | 5 x 0.78 x 8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1942857497 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1942857495 | | Item Weight | 12 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 342 pages | | Publication date | January 22, 2019 | | Publisher | Z.L.

Intrigued *by C***K on July 13, 2022* Let me say I read Spencer Christmas and Jada Forte's story first and maybe 🤔 I should have read Jasper and Holly's story before I read theirs. Some of the pieces of the family dynamics was filled in with just reading the first book 📚📖 of the Dark Billionaire Jasper Christmas. Jasper and Holly's story begins with her coming to the Christmas Mansion for Christmas 🎄. She was invited by Bryn who was her roommate at college. The Christmases paid for her dorm the entire four years she went to college. She liked Bryn but she only saw her for the first year. This story was strange in that siblings did not trust one another. Jasper being the oldest and his father on his death bed at this time had to resume the position as the Head of the family. Amelia to he mother was deceased. So many secrets and lies and drama. I am definitely ready to find out what happens with Jasper and Holly.
