Watch Me is the first book in the Phoenix series by Stacey Kennedy. Zoey Parker has a three-step plan for revenge. First, gain entrance to the ultra-exclusive, upscale sex club, Phoenix. Second, act out her wildest fantasy in front of powerful old rivals, proving that they didn’t break her. Third, disappear and never return. The only kink in her plan? Rhys Harrington, the owner of Phoenix and the one man she needs to stay away from. Rhys’ high-end clients pay extravagant amounts to watch his stars indulge their desires. Rhys’ only rule? Watch, don’t touch. But one look at Zoey and Rhys decides to participate in the show himself. And when an undeniable passion ignites between them, Rhys knows he wants more. Except Zoey is determined to run and he is determined to find out why. When Rhys discovers Zoey’s secret, he shocks her by offering his protection… and a no-strings-attached relationship. But Zoey knows there will be more on the line than just her pleasure. Because Rhys’ sizzling touch doesn’t only capture her body, it also commands her heart.
Watch Me is seriously steamy, but knowing one of the main characters owns a sex club should give all readers a clue to that before they even open the book. However, it is also emotionally engaging and is about healing and hope as much as the heat. Zoey has been hurt, and is working on reclaiming her life and confidence. She is not completely sure of her path, but she has plans to find her way and is determined to have a better future. Rhys did not intend to be part of that plan, but after unwittingly finding himself a major play he discovers that he wants to help he continue her healing. I love that these two strong, intelligent individuals work to heal themselves and each other. I love that found and blood family have their roles to play, and that the importance to people you can trust is so important to the characters and the story. The secondary characters, and the communities of friends in this story made me happy and stayed with me as I read the story and after I read the last page. I look forward to continuing the series and finding out how the others make their way to their own happy ever afters.
Watch Me is a steamy romance that has all the feels. Fans of Kennedy will want to dive into this series starter.
