Stark Series

                           

Layers (Stark, #1)

Goodreads | Review | Amazon B&N

Inner Core (Stark, #2)




My Review:

I have been anxiously waiting for this book since the moment I turned the last page of Layers. The second installment of the Stark Series does not disappoint! 


Layers left us with a big cliffhanger and Inner Core picked up about two weeks after the intense finale of Layers. After being away from Hayley, Daniel realizes that he can't live without her. He travels to Chicago and decides to win her back at any cost. Hayley has been living a nightmare for the past two weeks. On the family side, her brother has been missing and she has been praying day after day that he survived the suicide bomber that exploded next to his platoon's convoy in Kabul. On the personal side, she has been numb since Daniel turned his back on her. When she goes back to her parents' house after needing time to clear her mind, Hayley can't believe that Daniel is standing in front of her. He has come to deliver the good news that her brother is safe and also to let her know that he came back to fight for her. He will do whatever it takes to win her back. Hayley has mixed feelings about how fast she can forgive and forget. They go back home and give their relationship another try. Giving love a second chance does not necessarily mean that everything will be back to what it used to be. Hayley and Daniel's journey is filled with tears, fears and heartbreak. They will have to give it their all to overcome these obstacles that prevent them to fully love and trust each other.

Inner Core was an amazing sequel. After having some trust and communication issues in the past, Hayley and Daniel are working hard on building a relationship without any secrets. In Layers Daniel was acting like a psycho. A lovable psycho might I add.  This time around it's Hayley's turn! I guess she learned from the best ... lol!!! OMG!! She drove me crazy with her insecurities. You could clearly see that Daniel was a changed man, even if at one point of the book I wanted to knock him out with my kindle after finding out what secret he was keeping from Hayley :/ Not cool Daniel!!!!! We really get an inside look at every layer of their new relationship. We get to know more about Hayley's insecurities and also about Daniel's physical and emotional scars. Even if these two nuts drove me crazy I love them to pieces! Their chemistry intensified in this book. You could feel that they can't live without each other. I was cheering loud and clear that I was TeamDaniel from the very beginning. He gave 100% of himself in this relationship. He may have made mistakes in the past, but he's doing everything in his power to make things right.

This book was filled with emotional, intense, sexy and even funny moments. The banter between Hayley and her two best friends, Tasha and Ian was HILARIOUS!!! I LOL so many times that I lost count! The last few pages of the book had my heart beating fast and I was at the edge of my seat.  I was crossing my fingers that everything would work out and that Hayley and Daniel would finally get their HEA. I really liked how Hayley and Daniel's story evolved and the epilogue in both POV was amazing!




My Rating:

I give, Inner Core, by Sigal Ehrlich 4.5 fantastic, funny, emotional, sensual stars! The Stark Series is beautifully written and captivating!

Blog Tour & Giveaway : Layers (Stark, #1) by Sigal Ehrlich



Layers 
by Sigal Ehrlich 

Publication date: 

October 6, 2013 

eArc received for review

Synopsis:

According to Hayley love is a subject of ridicule, a myth created by hopeless romantics.

When Hayley makes a resolution to declare her loose lifestyle era R.I.P, it’s all good in theory…

That is until she meets Daniel Stark, a well-respected, mid-thirties business man who is known for his short temper, lack of steady relationships as well as his strict preserve of his private life.

Opinionated, sharp tongued Hayley accidently steps into his office leaving Daniel resolved to put Hayley in her place and have her in his bed.

Both Hayley and Daniel can’t avoid the immediate instigation of the attraction between them.

In a unanimously agreed upon verdict by Hayley and her two best friends, Ian the gay self-absorb, aspiring model and Natasha the witty, borderline neurotic soul mate, Daniel Stark is to be Hayley’s pure physical attraction, emotions aside era closure.

Will it indeed be a closure, or a beginning to something neither Hayley nor Daniel ever bargained for…

Stark Series

                           

Layers (Stark, #1)

Inner Core (Stark, #2)


My Review:


The first installment in the Stark Series, Layers,  by Sigal Ehrlich was an awesome read! This book was intense, emotional, fast-paced with a touch of humour. 

In Layers, we follow Daniel and Hayley's story. After she lost a bet to her friend Tasha, Hayley is forced to attend a guided visit of Stark Software Technologies. She is not 100% commited to the visit and decides to take a coffee break. A girl needs her caffeine, right? ;) Hayley does not go looking for a cafeteria, nooooo! Miss H decides to make a coffee in the CEO's private kitchen. When she comes face-to-face with Daniel in the kitchen, it takes two words out of her mouth to activate Mr. Stark's seduction mode. After this encounter, Daniel is fascinated with Hayley and decides to take every opportunity he gets to cross her path. Tension runs high when Hayley discovers that the employee she met in the kitchen is Mr. Daniel Stark himself. Daniel and Hayley don't do relationships. When the chemistry between them is too much to handle, they both give in to a no strings attached fling. The problem is ... love comes knocking on the door unexpectedly. 

I really liked this story. The writing style is easy to follow and kept me turning the pages until the very end. Daniel and Hayley have great chemistry together, the banter between them is amazing and Hayley's inner monologue was divine! I LOL a couple of times with Miss H. ;)  Daniel is a very difficult character to follow. OMG! The mood swings that Mr. Stark has?!?!? Holy Crapola! Poor Hayley! The mixed messages he was sending her were heartbreaking! Hayley was right to call him a psycho a couple of times. This man is a really lovable psycho! Does that even make sense?! He was driving me nuts, but I still loved him. I've been Danielized! Yes! I fell for him <3 I loved discovering each and every one of his Layers. And, trust me ... he has a lot of Layers! This is a series so we will be getting other books, which is a good thing because Layers ended with a Nooooooo! I need the other book now!!! cliffhanger. I can't wait to read Inner Core to follow the rest of Hayley and Daniel's story. I really connected with all the characters and I especially loved Tasha and Ian, Hayley's best friends. They are so much fun!! 




My Rating:


I give, Layers, by Sigal Ehrlich 4 intense, passionate, amusing, wonderful stars! Awesome debut novel by Sigal Ehrlich! I loved the last chapter in Daniel's POV. I hope we get to read more of his POV in Inner Core ;)

Excerpt I
There's a high-end coffee machine calling my name on the countertop across the room. A quick little coffee and I am out of here.
I press the green small-cup button and the machine awakens with the noise of evaporating steam. The oh-so-aromatic, roasted scent wafts toward me as the machine fills the cup with a rich chocolate-colored liquid. I'm thrilled, already anticipating the taste. When the machine signals that the cycle is complete, I grab the cup too hastily, and some of the coffee manages to spill on my white blouse.
Observing the damage with irritation, I murmur, “Fuck me,” under my breath.
Is that a request?”
Shifting my stare back to see who has just spoken; I find myself holding on to the counter from a momentary loss of balance, as I take in the sight of the orator.
Heat spreads from the center of my skull through my throat, to the top of my cleavage. And I don’t do blushing. What the hell?
Standing there is the very picture of hot, tall and sinful. White tee, jeans, and the most alluring bad boy stance. Something in his crooked smile inexplicably leaves me dumbfounded. For the space of a moment, I am lost in him.
His eyes roam over me with a wicked glee, stripping off every layer of clothing I have on. The air escapes my lungs at the intensity of that gaze.
I gape back at him, my jaw slightly dropped. “Mmm… just made some coffee.” I mumble my lame excuse and follow it with a thin smile.
So I assume it wasn’t a request, then?” His teasing eyes are on me, that sexy grin is still plastered on his face, and his expression insinuates pure sin.
Too bad,” he murmurs, and I have to swallow hard.
Is that your thing?” I ask, recovering.
He cocks an eyebrow.Sneaking behind people and trying to engage them in salacious activities?” A low laugh, deep and hoarse, comes as a reply.
No.” He scratches his amused lips with his thumb, looking at me with a slightly tilted head. “And just for the record, I believe it was you who started with the indecent proposals.”
I open my mouth, looking frantically for some clever comeback that doesn’t appear to come, and instead feel my face heat up. Again. Damn.
