Review: The Blackstone Affair # 3: Eyes Wide Open

Eyes Wide Open  (The Blackstone Affair, #3)Eyes Wide Open by Raine Miller

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Eyes Wide Open by Raine Miller is the third book in what is planned to be a four book series. Book four is still untitled but is scheduled to release as an ebook at the end of this year.

Oh My Lord!!! Raine Miller, you have forever burned the image of Ethan Blackstone on my mind (and libido)! Thank You! What a perfect choice. And while I feel a little apologetic for objectifying the gorgeous model that Ethan is based on, I just cannot seem to help it. You are a beautiful man David Gandy, just beautiful!

This story continues the tale of Brynne Bennett and Ethan Blackstone. It opens with a creepy prologue, we don't know (but can maybe make some guesses already) who this person is. At this point in the story Ethan has still not divulged the details of his tragic past to Brynne. She still desperately wants to know so she can help chase away his nightmares. Book two, All In, ended with them on their way to Ethan's sisters manor house and B&B. This book picks up with them in the throes of passion shortly after their arrival at Hannah's home. Very HOT!

Various emotional and life changing events unfold as the beginning of the olympics draws closer. We see them get closer to, and more interested in, each other. However, this book is where the confrontation happens. This where the bad stuff happens. The person who sent the video message, he's still around, and he's more trouble than anyone realized.

The book has somewhat of a Happily Ever After and no big cliffhanger but we will get more of Brynne and Ethan when book four comes out!

I am definitely looking forward to that!

Audible Audiobook "Review: The Blackstone Affair # 3: Eyes Wide Open"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes - This is a fantastic series full of heat, passion, desperation, and is all tied up in a happy ending.

What did you like best about this story?
I like Ethan - He has been my favorite part of all these stories so far. He is so bloody British and alpha and sex on a stick!

Have you listened to any of Grace Grant and Shane East ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have heard both of these narrators perform before. This was just as great as the others. Grace can become each of the characters without her performance sounding forced. Shane's voice is sexy, and where I NEVER love a male doing a female voice, his wasn't terrible and did not take away from the performance.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The moment at the restaurant with her friends Benny & Gaby when Brynne answered her mothers call and Benny ends up on his phone with Ethan. That was a tough moment.

Any additional comments?
Read the series - just read it!
