Because You Are Mine #2.7
When I'm with You: When I Need You
Part 7 in new 8 part serial.
The next serial sensation from Beth Kery, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Because You Are Mine.
New York Times bestselling author Beth Kery's blistering new novel of a man and woman bound by the scandalous secrets of the past--and by the sexual hunger that still fuels their uncontrollable desires...
Restaurateur and self-exiled heir Lucien Lenault's first look at the breathtaking young chef trainee for his trendy Chicago restaurant is a shock. She's Elise Martin, daughter of a wealthy French fashion designer. She's also the holder of a secret that could explode his carefully laid plans.
Notorious for her flagrant exhibitionism, and for flouting the respectable façade of her aristocratic background, the coquine's wild streak shocked most people. Not Lucien. He was tempted by it. It was a deliriously punishable offense as far as Lucien was concerned. But taking on Elise is more than a game. She's a catastrophe waiting to happen, an inferno that's burned many a lover. Lucien isn't most men, however, and he won't allow her to manipulate him. In order to control the defiant beauty--in order to see her submit--he's going to have to willingly walk in the flames...
More to come. Don't miss When I'm With You, Part II, available 3/12

Dear Reader,
When I'm With You continues the story begun in Because You Are Mine, although this time the camera lens is focused on Lucien and Elise, whose undeniable and scorching desire for one another burns away surface facades, revealing secrets that will forever change Lucien, Elise, Ian and Francesca's lives.
Please note that like Because You Are Mine, When I'm With You will be released in eight parts, each installment debuting weekly.
I hope you enjoy watching Lucien and Elise's romance unfold, seeing Lucien's immense control tried by the irrepressible Elise, while the self-indulgent Elise is challenged sexually and emotionally by Lucien into fulfilling her full potential as a giving, caring and vibrant woman.
Look for more of Ian's and Francesca's love story in Because We Belong, out in November of 2013.
Happy Reading!
~Beth

Review orginally posted: @Shawna's Survey
I think Lucien honestly kept his word on this. When I Need You begins where When You Trust Me #6 leaves off, with a steamy erotic scene filled with multiple O's. I want to know where he gets the energy. Even while they had a nice private intimate dinner at Fusion Elise was consistently being pleasured. I wondered how distracting it was to eat with the plug being inserted the entire time. The two also was able to share a few serious moments with each other,which helps in leading them into a deeper relationship.
I was somewhat surprised when Lucien revealed his latest purchase and offering Elise with the opportunity of partial ownership . I just wondered if this would counter the idea of Elise making her own way. She grew-up having the world handed to her by not only her parents, but past lovers as well.
I wish I knew what was going through Elise mind when she agreed to be Lucien's "slave" and turn over complete control for one night. Especially since she is still having a difficult with time letting go and trusting him.
I truly love how this story is starting to unfold. To be honest, I'm a tad sad that it is coming to an end. I can't wait to get my hands on When We Are One which is the last part of this eight part series.
"I hope you didn't have any other plans this weekend because I plan to spend as much time inside you as is humanly possible"

Because every time I feel close to someone, they end up leaving me? Because no matter how hard I tried to please the people in my life, they would rather I wasn't around.

FULL SERIES REVIEW BELOW
When I'm with You: The Complete Novel by Beth Kery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 Sexy Stars
When I’m with You is a light BDSM read with a cooking theme.
Summary
Elise is a rich girl, but she can’t tap into her trust fund until she turns twenty-five. She finished cooking school and wants to mentor with a chef. Lucien is rich, owns an exclusive restaurant and has corrupted father. Lucien is a man who knows what he wants and what kind of women he wants in bed. Elise aligns herself with the head chef at Lucien’s restaurant. Elise and Lucien have a past since both grew up rich and in the same circle.
Overall
I like Beth Kery books. They are very light, steamy and have touch of BDSM. I liked how Elise and Lucien have a history and it gave the read an extra layer of chemistry. Elise is a very head strong girl. She’s grown up rich, is pretty and isn’t immune to men giving her attention, yet she never flaunts herself. I liked her story, poor rich girl trying to make it on her own.
Lucian is the typical rich Hero with a chip on his shoulder. Lucian has a past and he’s working on something. Elise is intrigued with Lucian’s past and has had a crush on Lucian since childhood. Lucian finds Elise very sexy and although he doesn’t want to forge a relationship with her, he’s more than willing to work out something that will benefit the both of them.
The story is light, in the sense it’s a steamy book, meaning the man focus is the steam. There is some light bondage and spanking, but nothing ever goes deeper or darker. Lucian is very closed off, so this adds some tension between the two. I did like getting some back story on Lucian and you slowly uncover his past.
When I’m with You is was an easy read and enjoyable.

so beth made the scenes tense from the restaurant till the end
but the gifts are ordinary unlike the extraordinary gifts of Ian
Ian is highly aloof man with so little outgoing emotions, but lucien's actions prove his kindness ..he gave Elise a restaurant with extra advantages, offering her to be executive chef and the co manger
here are the good quotes...
¤ caressing and massaging, his touch decadent in the midst of the hot water “You could make a woman into a slave with those hands, Lucien Sauvage,” she mumbled
¤ she melted in the cocoon of Lucien’s acceptance.
¤ “Because your parents didn’t prize you doesn’t mean that you’re not a precious, priceless jewel,”
¤ the city were drowned out by the throb of his heartbeat in his ears.
¤ “Every time I think you couldn’t look more beautiful, you make a liar of me,” he said.
¤ “Your being here with me is all the help in the world.”
¤ “I am not as cruel to you as I am to myself,” he added
¤ You’re the most desirable woman in existence, and yet here I sit
¤ she had grown into so much more than that . . . when she was so much more than that stereotype? He’d once been foolish enough to try to squeeze her into that narrow role, but of course Elise could never be pigeonholed.
¤ He wanted to do that to her: savor her until he was drunk on her, ravish her until her taste filled his mouth and ran down his throat . . . absorb her into him.

A really sexy, steamy, and erotic book. Again as with the first book with all the sex toys and the manner they are used to full fill a couples complete satisfaction. I mean this woman had at least 5 or more orgasms and she still is ready to please her man SOME MORE. I wish I was Elise but with all her stamina and strength plus more. The male character, Lucien is one really gorgeous man with a sexy french accent. He is also a bit of a Superman in bed. All I needed was for the Superman and Superwoman costumes to come off before preceding with all the love making.
Still a really good plot and worth the time. Do not wish to give it away it is a doozie.
I see that this book was at one time broken into novellas. I am glad I am reading this now and not then. I would have been suffering waiting for the next book to be released. I have all three books here with me now and ready to read and get to the end of the story.
Highly recommended.

I think that this story could have been ended by this book. I am just not as invested in Lucien and Elise as I was with Ian and Francesca. I will read the last book, but hopefully these two get it worked out.

Love this story and I can't wait to find out what it is that Lucien is hiding and how this all relates to Ian!

Final secret is revealed. More sex throw in to fill up pages. Nothing is happening, no emotional connection, the sex isn't doing anything to move the relationship along, no character growth.

This installment was super sexy in many senses. I wish I could have a dinner like that!!

This takes an intimate dinning experience to a new high. Kery has made this part well worth the wait to experience it.
