Review: Bloom by Helen Hardt

 

Under his touch, your every desire will… Bloom

Today is the day Francesca Thomas was supposed to get married. All she wants is a stiff drink and a whole lot of distraction…which is exactly when she meets him. Tall, dark, and deliciously disguised, the man known only as Phantom awakens her every sense. All Frankie really knows about him is the raw, untamed chemistry that makes her want to relinquish herself―body and soul―to his touch…

Phantom has rules, all designed to protect his identity. No names. No personal information. But Frankie is a too-tempting ingenue who threatens all of his cautious, careful control. At the ultra-exclusive Black Rose Underground Club, he can explore each of her deepest, uncharted desires…so long as he keeps his public life―and his secrets―hidden.

Frankie’s ready to explore what lies between them. The intensity, the darkness, and the unyielding pleasure of it all. But while the mystery of Phantom is thrilling, secrets are one game she won’t play. And if she’s going to explore the forbidden, she’ll begin with finding out exactly who’s under the mask…

My Review

Bloom by Helen Hardt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So good! This book follows Frankie, Mandy's sister from Blush. And Frankie is going through it at the beginning. The sudden end of her engagement leaves her in need of a distraction. So she heads to grab a drink and meets a man only known as the Phantom. They have great chemistry.

He awakens all her senses but he has rules. No names or personal information, as a way to protect his identity. But something about Frankie makes him want to break all his own rules.

At the exclusive Black Rose Underground Club, the Phantom can help Frankie explore her deepest desires. While the mystery is thrilling, Frankie won't put up with secrets. She needs to know who is under the mask.

I enjoyed their chemistry and their overall growth as the book went on. Hunter has a lot of fears to overcome and Frankie is willing to wait for him to figure it all out.

Thanks so much to the author, Entangled and NetGalley for this ARC to review.
