My love transcends eternity, a guiding star enlightening the darkness.

Twenty-one year old Serena Thomas has been dealing with more than any twenty-one year old should have to deal with. Abandoned by her mother, she's been raised by her gram. By Serena's own admission, even though they didn't have a lot, she never felt alone.
Sadly, after going into huge debt during Gram's battle with cancer, Serena unfortunately finds herself alone, with no way to pay the massive bills that have piled up during this time.
Enter Mylaynee Johanson who discovers the very attractive Serena and offers her an opportunity that sounds too good to be true. Working as an escort at The Lounge, a very exclusive members only club. The escorts are given the power and the money in this business. They decide how far to go with their dates, they keep all of their money and are even given some very swanky apartments to live in.
Who's the man behind the lounge? Lincoln "Linc" Jefferson. Linc is incredibly sexy and very mysterious. Dark hair, pulled back, eyes the color of corn flowers and a body that the very inexperienced Serena doesn't want to keep her hands off of.
The instant Linc and Serena meet you can feel their attraction crackle in the room. During her interview, Linc pulls her to him and they share a kiss that sets Serena's earth spinning out from under her. I've never seen such a believable love at first sight, but Linc knew what he wanted the second he laid eyes on Serena. Not only does he hire her, but he makes her "exclusive" to him only. Basically, no one can ask her to be an escort. She's Linc's property. And I know I should be stronger, but when Linc told her at the end of the day you come to my bed...I swooned.
So Serena's got this new life where she's making money to pay off her debts, she's got a great place to live and her boss is madly in love with her. Oh but it's not all rosy. There's B.B. the troll who never got the memo Linc didn't want her. Then there's Jax. Linc's friend who is dying to get Serena in bed. And let's not forget Linc, he's got some pretty big demons of his own to deal with.
There are two hinky plot twists that I didn't see coming and one of them I have a feeling might have a considerable impact in book two Serenity that comes out this year (hurry please). There's also an icky encounter with a gross, sweaty club member and some really girly fun between the fab 5 as Serena and her girls call themselves.
As much as I think that Linc is a hotty, to me his personality and mannerisms made him even more desirable. Sleeping nude with Serena through much of the book, Linc just holds her close every night. Even when she asks him to make love to her, he waits until he thinks she's ready. When they finally do it's one of those Ahhhhhhh moments. Linc is just incredibly enamored with Serena. He watches her whenever they're in the same room, he can't keep his hands off of her. But it's not in that creepy, get a room way, it's always sweet and loving.
I really enjoyed Intensity. I liked the storyline and I'm definitely looking forward to reading Serenity. As hopeful romantic, I'm cheering for Linc and Serena to get their happily ever after. I'm also hopeful that someone will knock B.B. on her ass. She's such a witch.
A 3.5 lip smack review, rounded up to four. You'll definitely enjoy Linc and Serena's story and you'll also be thinking of all the naughty things you'd like to do to Linc if you had the chance.

Thank you for taking time to read and review Intensity. I'm so glad you enjoyed Linc and Serena's story. There is more to come in Serenity, fall 2015. B.B. definitely needs to be knocked down a few pegs. Can't wait!
