Rate this book
Passion has bloomed to love, but when Elliott’s estranged father shows up back on the scene, he brings trouble with him.

The dating thing goes well at first, with both of them taking things slow…though their passion can’t be contained. But when Elliott’s stepmother tells him she’s been in touch with his father, Elliott’s past comes back to remind him that hurting other people is wrong. Despite Simone trying to tell him there’s a difference between the sort of things they do in the bedroom and hurting someone in anger, Elliott again puts up an emotional block and Simone seeks refuge in a former lover’s embrace.

There’d been things in her life that Simone had desired more than she wanted to take Elliott’s cock in her mouth, but just then she couldn’t think of a single one.

When I thought Elliott would open up, I was mistaken. Along with Simone.

Though he tries, really tries at the beginning of this part, he is still scared of his own feelings, suffers from his past, and is incapable of communication. He denies not only himself, but Simone too.


“Everyone has a limit, Elliott. Some people just have higher limits than others.”

I don’t agree with Simone’s cure for her broken heart, but of course I don’t have to, and I have to admit, it’s hot as hell.



This part of the serial is filled with tears, misery, insecurities, mistakes, and denial, but it also has lovely and beautiful moments.
“How do you stop hating?” he asked quietly.
“You try really, really hard.”
“What if you can’t?”
“Find something to love,” Molly told him with a light squeeze of his fingers. “You won’t have time to do so much hating.”

The story is perfectly executed, intense and provoking. I loved it!
Bliss. That was it, pure and simple, no way around it. No way to pretend it was anything else. It was bliss and magic and she was head over heels. No going back.
It was love.

*sigh*

Simone, Simone, Simone. While I didn't agree with what Elliot did, I did not appreciate Simone running to Adrian when she knew full well that Adrian has a girlfriend. Ugh! That pisses me off.

Despite that, I did enjoy the exposition on Elliot's character and his relationship with his stepmother and his father. I enjoyed Molly and Elliot's interaction a lot.

The ending was a bummer though. *sigh*

3.5 CROP STINGING STARS

It started out a little slow, but gave a bit more back story into Elliot's personality. Once things heated it up, the story was intense and HOT. I want to see how Elliot gets out of the hole he's dug for himself with Simone. And will Simone regret her hasty decision?

I do feel this could have been one whole book. Breaking it up, I feel, allows you to disconnect from the story between installments. Which I think does it a disservice.

I am curious about the next installment.

This review is posted on Way Too Hot Books.

She'd vowed she would never be that girl.
She knew for a a straight-up fact that Elliot was an emotionally
unavailable mess. She could fuck him until they were both raw.
She could let him take her out to dinners and concerts.
She could even spend hours with him on the phone, laughing so hard she thought she might pass out from lack of air.
But she could not, would not fall in love with him.

The first three parts of this story made me think that this read was something unlike Megan Hart's usual reads, because they were more focused on sex than on emotions, but in this one and the next one I could definitely recognize her distinctive writing style and that's why I liked these final parts the most.

Love. Sex. Pain.
Elliot & Simone are finally making it official and everything seems to go so smooth, but of course that's the destiny's cue for immediate strike of pain and misery. Elliot's ghosts from the past come knocking at his door and "their visit" make him question again his relationship with Simone.

The things I liked the most about this part is the emotional side of the story and that the puzzle that is Elliot and his past finally starts to solve piece by piece. I was undecided about him at the beginning of the story, because he was a closed off person, but as the saying says: don't judge the book by its cover. He has frustrated me yet again with his choices and insecurities, but after getting a peek in his past and childhood, it's impossible not to feel sorry for him and things he went through.

Simone is one of those fierce & independent women and that's why I like her, but in this part we also get to see her soft side which made me like her even more, even if she did *something* in the end I didn't exactly approve, but it still didn't make me think less of her. The character that I don't like even after this part is Aiden. That guy annoyed me since the first page we met him and things only got worse in this book. You'll see why.

Will there be HEA for Elliot & Simone after all or are they broken and this time for good?
We are one step from finding out, because the 5th part is also the last one. All in all, I liked the story very much despite some dramatic situations.

Btw. Elliot, you broke my heart big time, but I'm still rooting for you, probably because of my in-explainable soft spot for broken souls and you are one of those, but it's time to redeem yourself! I'm waiting...

"Harder," she breathed. "Oh, please, Elliot...hurt me..."

Just rip out my heart. Elliot's past is causing him to do things that he will regret. In installment four, Elliot goes from romantically hawt to cruelly cold. Simone's broken heart is the collateral damage from Elliot's callous behaviour.

Ms. Hart creates characters who are just so messed up. It's not so much melodrama but more the realistic responses when past hurts have not been healed. While it's understanding why Elliot is having issues, taking it out on Simone is painful to watch. The rejection Elliot doles to Simone is something every masochist fears. Not surprisingly, Simone runs to Adrian for some punishment comfort.


This was a nice blend of impact play. It also reveals more about both Elliot and Simone. It will be interesting to see how this all ends up in the next installment. Right now, it doesn't look like a happily ever after. Recommend for kinky readers who understand a masochist's fear of rejection.

Simone and Elliott - these two are killing me. Just when I think they are on the right track and going steady, Elliott just goes ahead and pulls the rug under my feet. Hopefully, he'll stop doing that soon. He has to, right? There's only one part left.

Up until that ending, I loved how it was going between Simone and Elliott. They were taking it slow, went on actual dates, talked for hours, texted frequently. Really, I got exactly what I was missing in part three.

Finally, Elliott's history got out. At last, explanation for his behavior, and why he kept denying himself what the liked, and why he felt such guilt when he did give into his desires.

As you can see, it was going great, and then Elliott... I don't even have to finish this sentence. We know what Elliott does best. Poor Simone...

I feel like this story keeps going in circles.

I reviewed this at MustReadBooksOrDie with my friend Shelley!

Shel: I know what you're thinking. You're thinking you can't do a novella series..you don't like the waiting...they are just getting going and POOF! it's over for that installment...the characters aren't as developed...and so on and so on. Court: I've so thought that before, but keep reading!

Shel: I think Megan Hart just may be the writer to convince you that a novella series will work for you. First of all, by the time you read this review all of the series will be released. Court: They are ALL out! And so fracking good. Shel: Second of all, the series is completely filling. The characters are not short changed, neither is the plot or the steam. Of course, when a writer is budgeting his or her words, the details may be fewer and the pace, faster..but I didn't mind it one bit. I found this series to be paced nicely and the writing very clean--not bogged down on anything unnecessary. Court: I had deeply strong feelings for Simone and while my feelings for Elliott tended to be toward the pissed off side of things, he was a very multi-dimensional character as well. My constant thoughts of Simone were that she is fierce, and strong...yet submissive. That was quite a feat for me to see pulled off so I was very excited to see what sort of journey Simone would take through each novella I read.

Shel: The story is interesting. There's the instant intrigue of Simone and her voyeurism. There's the simple and not so simple Elliot. There's the complication of their sex life and what is deemed right/good/acceptable. There are hurt feelings and confused feelings and honest feelings. I loved how in so few words, Megan Hart gives us a very raw story of the pleasure and pain of engaging in their relationship. Elliot is so infuriating and Simone is so strong and vulnerable and good. I loved Simone...more women could stand to be as honest as she was in this series; and, I love how she refuses to apologize for who she is and what she likes. And, Elliot finds a way to be less of an asshole by the end too...as he learns how to accept his truth and tell it to Simone (and more importantly, to himself). Court: OMG Elliott...he killed me...but really, just like Simone he was brutally honest too. He was so straight laced and rigid in some things...but still was an incredibly hot lover in others. He had so much hate and anger for things that had happened in his life, that he went through a great part of it alone. I didn't want him to be alone but on the other side I needed him to hardcore get his head out of his butt, pronto!

Shel: Anyway, I could ramble on for a while about why I enjoyed this series..instead, you should buy it and let us know what you think. Court: Please do. We can ramble on about this forever, and really want to!

Quick review for a quick read. I'm...a little on the fence about this part. Good details into Simone and Elliot's respective pasts, which was something I appreciated the eye into once it was provided. Molly took care of Elliot like his mother never could, and he visited her in the resting home where she stayed. Simone goes on a "first date" with Elliot, and it builds upon their respective rapport - I liked that as well. I felt, however, that some of the progression of conflict in the latter part of the novella felt a little too quick in terms of its pacing. Not enough expansion. I understood the rationale behind it - what with Elliot dealing with a figure in his past returning in his life, and the pain of it making him distance himself from Simone, but it left me frustrated in both an intentional and unintentional way - intentional because it made me annoyed (like Simone) that he would just cut her off like that. Unintentional because it felt like it moved so fast with the emotional pacing that it threw me out of the story for a bit.

Nonetheless, this ends on a rather jarring note for both Elliot and Simone's respective relationship. Definitely checking into the next part, but this left me wanting a little more from it.

Overall score: 3/5 stars

Note: I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, from the publisher St. Martin's Press.

***This book was provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.***

**This review contains spoilers for earlier installments.**

Man…this story just gets better with each part! While there are still a lot of secrets between Elliot and Simone, this book blows things wide open for the reader. We finally learn why Elliot is so ashamed of his desire to inflict physical pain, and in denying his nature, his words do more harm than his belt ever could.

This part was so interesting because while it pulls away from Simone and Elliot’s sexual relationship, that just seems to magnify it. There’s a lot of focus on Elliot and why he denies himself and ultimately Simone the pleasure of pain. We also learn how important the pain is to Simone, and the lengths she will go to to have it. (In an effort not to spoil, I’ll leave it at that.)

When I’m reading a book, I usually have a good idea of where the author wants to end up. I have no idea what is going to happen in the finale of this series, and I find that to be so exciting!

Being that this is my first experience with Megan Hart, I have no idea if she does ‘spin-off’s or sequels, but after this I am chomping at the bit for Aiden’s story!

While I’ve loved the build-up and naughtiness of the previous installments, this one is my favorite by far.

This picks up where Elliot and Simone left off in questioning which direction their relationship was going in. Elliott has decided to actively pursue and date Simone, something he's not familiar nor comfortable with. Simone, for her part, is doing her best to not fall head over heels in love with Elliot which is proving to be next to impossible. After visiting his stepmother, Elliott comes to discover that Molly has been in touch with his estranged father who is now interested in talking to him.

I really really dislike reading books like this and will most likely not so it again after completing this series. I felt that this part of the story was choppy and incomplete. It would've been nice to know what it was that made Elliott decide to date Simone, or what it was that drove him away from his father. Hopefully that information will come in the next part.

Overall, I'm not liking where this story is going, not because it's not good, but because of its choppy inconsistencies. 3 stars.

This installment was a bit emotional... It's clear that Elliott and Simone are beginning to love each other but the elephant in the room is still Simone's need for pain and Elliott's struggle to give her what she wants. We get a sneak peek into the why in this novella through his visits with Molly, his step mother. His conflict and confusion is justified considering his past and unfortunately his negative reactions end up hurting Simone. This sends her running back to Aiden for comfort... which is not good... because I really don't like that guy! This installment had me feeling sad for Simone, frustrated for Elliott and wanting to punch Aiden for not being willing to compromise. So, I'll toss this one up as a successful installment. :)
I hope Elliott and Simone can find their HEA... one more novella to go! It doesn't come out until April... I hate waiting... LOL

3 Stars - Every Part of You: Denies Me is the fourth installment in a five part erotic serial by Megan Hart.

Simone Kahan is an emotional person. When she loves, she loves hard. So whatever had prompted Elliott Anderson to decide he wanted to make their relationship something more than just sex had definitely changed things between them. Hardly able to remember when she'd last gone on a date—a real date, with a man who picked her up at her door, brought her flowers and took her out to eat, then to see a live show—Simone fears she could all too easily get lost in Elliott, having not felt this way about someone in a very long time.

Spending time with Simone takes priority over most everything for Elliott, with so much changing, so fast.… The dating thing goes well at first, with both of them taking things slow…though their passion can’t be contained. But when Elliott's stepmother—the woman who’d taken him in when his own mother had tossed him out and his father had disappeared—tells him she’s been in touch with his estranged father, the ghosts of Elliott's past come back to haunt and remind him that hurting other people is wrong. And despite Simone's attempts to tell him there’s a difference between hurting someone in anger and playing with pain in the bedroom to give someone pleasure, Elliott, once again, puts up an emotional block, leaving her to seek refuge in the arms of a former lover’s embrace.

Though my least favorite of the five installments, I'll happily give the author praise for providing a wealth of information about Simone and Elliott's respective pasts in such a short span of pages. Unfortunately, any satisfaction I felt at learning more about these two quirky characters was quickly negated by the frustration I felt at Elliott's inability to communicate with Simone about his fears and insecurities. Oh, and then, there was the emotionally devastating cliff-hanger ending in which Simone runs off to Aiden instead of giving Elliott time to process all of his thoughts and feelings. And while I don't agree with his actions, Simone knew going into this relationship that Elliott was an emotionally unavailable mess. Gah! I don't know why I put myself through serial reads.

Content: graphic language, explicit sex, oral, biting, pinching, impact and edge play.

This is the fourth part of this episodic series and a must for those who have been following the lives of Elliott and Simone. Elliott is a self controlled kind of guy who just doesn't get involved and yet here he is forging an actual relationship with Simone. What started out as casual and based on nothing more than two people wanting sexual release is fast becoming something so much more than either were prepared for. Elliott is still cut up with the knowledge of Simone spending time with her ex but he's trying to ignore it and forge ahead. Simone is terrified that she's falling hard for Elliott and no matter how much she wants him realises that sometimes pain is a double edged sword and maybe this time the pain is not one to pursue.
This is a series that just pulls the reader in and doesn't let go until it's wrung emotion from the reader. I'm not quite sure why I like these characters but I do. Simone is such a brave character and yes there are some who would vilify her as a pain slut and masochist but I think being in touch with your own sensuality actually is an empowering thing. The journey she takes in this instalment will make readers scream and shout but the twists and turns just keep coming thick and fast.
Elliott? I'm not sure where to begin with his characters journey. On the bright side we get to learn a whole lot more about his family background and maybe a little of why he disconnects from others. He clearly has serious issues with making himself emotionally available but it's clear he does want to try and then bam! The author delivers another blow to his feelings of self worth and the repercussions are going to be felt for some time.
Do you have to be Into kinky sex to read this series? Absolutely not but a healthy respect for for the needs of others does help. I think what's dragged me in is my natural curiosity and the authors ability to entice the reader to need to know more about these characters . The tension just built up in this instalment and I'm left frustrated wanting to know what's going to happen next . These are short so I wouldn't usually rate that high but the emotional content and just hoping for a happy ending keeps pulling me in. Hopefully a resolution is within sight!

I read all 5 parts of this series in the same day, so I'm reviewing the whole series as one thing, as I didn't pay too much attention to each individual book. I do know that I was extremely happy to have the next one to continue straight onto at the end of each part as they always tend to leave you hanging for more each time...

I really enjoyed this one! it was quick, a bit of fun, hot & sexy, and also quite refreshing from the almost standard hot, rich, BDSM Dominant, male lead character. Yes, Elliot was pretty much that guy, but he wasn't. Rich - yes, hot - yes, BDSM master - absolutely terrified of it & what his preferences in the bedroom make him as a man - a monster who beats women.

The BDSM goddess in this story is Simone. The straight-up, tell it like it is, not afraid to ask for what she wants, pleasure/pain seeker. She too, like Elliot, despises the BDSM lifestyle of doms & subs, masters & slaves. Yes, she's tried it, but her outspoken, take no bullshit personality does not make for a good submissive, but she can take anything dished out to her, especially if that involves a good spanking or even a caning.

These two are a match made in heaven. Able to truly fulfil their fantasies together, & feed their desires to their hearts content. That is, until Simone's openness & Elliott's fears come face to face in a way that very nearly destroys them both.

Simone will not chase after a man. She doesn't need to. But when Elliott runs, she's very tempted to hightail it after him.

Sometimes the best thing that ever happened to you will cost you the highest price. & sometimes the greatest risks reap the highest rewards. But are Elliot & Simone prepared to risk it all for the chance of a scorching hot spankingly ever after?

I read this in the five separate, short installments but will review it as a whole.
Simone is full of self-confidence with a side of naughty. While at work she has enjoyed her voyeuristic side watching the attractive male below bring back many woman to have his way with in his office. Having a penchant for masochism, she’s learned to ask for exactly what she wants and if the chemistry doesn’t complement to move on quickly. She continues her brazenness by virtually inviting herself to a party with the male one evening.

Elliott is a strange one. He’s a little bit OCD, a little bit germaphobe, and quite a bit neurotic. Coming from an abusive and neglected childhood, he has worked hard to overcome the obstacles placed upon him. He focuses on taking care of Molly and not becoming like his father. He has spent much of his free time with a parade of model type blondes but no one that he ever wants to be around more than a couple of dates.

This wasn’t my favorite series. It felt like there was more angst with a trivial amount of satisfaction. I didn’t get find much enjoyment in the flat characters or the dysfunctional connection they share. Elliott is constantly pushing Simone away and then running back to her; talk about mixed signals. In a lot of ways, I think this was the biggest turn off. Because there was so much rebuffing, it made me wonder where the plot was going. There were moments I enjoyed the rapport between Simone and Elliott but there were even more where I was left shaking my head. After the pages has settled or more aptly the kindle recharged, I think perhaps I didn’t get what was the author was trying to convey.

Rating: 2.5 stars

SERIES REVIEW

EVERY PART OF YOU is a serial novel made up of five books. It’s a dark, erotic, well written story about Elliot Anderson, a partner in a law firm and Simone Kahan, who works in the same building as Elliot. While Simone is working late one night, she looks out her window and notices Elliot’s activities in his office after hours. After that, whenever Simone works late, she watches Elliot hook up with different women in his office late at night. One night when Elliot and Simone are both working late, they accidentally meet in the elevator. Elliot he is arrogant, selfish and terse, but Simone can’t help being attracted to him. Simone is confident in who and what she is. She isn’t intimidated by other people, knows what she wants and always speaks her mind. Simone knows she is flawed, but is able to accept herself for who she is. Elliot is also flawed, but has a hard time acknowledging who he is. At forty two Elliot is inhibited, introverted and not honest with himself or other people. Elliot and Simone are two lost souls who are drawn to each other.

This is a well crafted story with great character development. As the story unfolds we understand Elliot and the circumstances that made him the man he is today. Although, there isn’t much information about Simone’s past. Each book is about sixty pages and continues where the last book left off. I don’t understand why Megan Hart wrote this as serial and I have to admit, it spoiled the story for me. For that reason, I gave the book a lower rating. That being said, I think Megan Hart writes an intense, edgy, sexy read. There is some BDSM in the story.

Megan Hart's serialized novel Every Part of You is broken down into five installments, each of which are titled to reflect the topic for each. In Tempt Me It we are introduced to Simone and her fascination with Elliot and his liaisons which she has a very good view of from her office. Elliot seems confused as to how to deal with his unusual desires. Meeting Simone seems to confuse him even more. They share the same dark passion but where Simone welcomes it Elliot seems to run away from it. In Resists Me, the relationship progresses, with Elliot still denying what he's feeling and what Simone seems to represent for him. Passion overrules his logic and Simone gets what she wants. It didn't end quite the way they wanted. Taunts Me and Denies Me just continues what essentially is the theme of this novel. For Simone its falling in love with the perfect man who seems to deny what he wants and thinks what they have is wrong and for Elliot it seems to be a lot of daddy issues. Megan Hart excels in these type of novels where you can't see the main lead ever getting together at all despite the feelings and the rightness of it. The sexual scenes are definitely steamy, the BDSM theme is lightly tackled but more implied and the pathos and tone is definitely tragic despite the almost wry humor of the heroine. The novellas are pure erotica however the developing relationship between the leads truly captures the readers interest making you just want to keep turning the pages. The ending chapter definitely is keeping everyone on edge.

I've been enjoying reading Megan Hart's Every Part of You series (#1 was Tempts Me and #2 was Resists Me), but was looking forward to learning more about Elliott. Taunts Me, the third installment in the serialized novel, and Denies Me, number four, both offer more of a glimpse into his life, but he still remains an enigma. He's a whole whack of contradictions: commanding yet quiet, mature yet boyish, seemingly in control yet a complete disaster under the surface. I still don't have a good sense of him, but I know him a bit better, and I appreciate that. And it helps, because in these two installments, Elliott and Simone go through a rollercoaster of sex and romance and denial and despair. Knowing a bit more about Elliott helps it all make sense.

Still, I wish I knew him more. There are times when he talks and talks and makes Simone laugh, but we're just told about it, we don't really experience it, so I don't quite believe it. I wish I could see the chatty, goofy side of him, to know why Simone, who doesn't fall easily, is tragically close to falling for him. Other than the fact that he checks off all the boxes in the bedroom.

Oh, right, the bedroom. Holy Toledo. These kids are crazy hot. Nicely done.

Number five, Takes Me, will be out April 1. And I believe the whole series will be released in one book in the summer. You could hold out for that, just to get your money's worth, but this series is so fun and different and delicious that you may not want to wait.

Every Part Of You Denies Me
Megan Hart
This story was gifted to me in exchange for an honest review.
This is the fourth part of this series. I think I am going to miss it when I am finished.This story has been one of the best that I have read in a while. The sexual tension is great. The author keeps throwing in little bits of drama just enough to keep up going. In this part of the series we learn a little bit more about his relationship to the mysterious Molly and who she was in his life.
Elliot and Simone are spending more time together, dabbling a little bit more in adding a little bit of roughness and a smidgeon of pain to their sexual adventures. But Elliot is still so at odds with himself and who he is. He has decided that what he likes is not normal. That what they are doing together even though it is consensual is not normal.
She wants him to hurt her. He can't he says it is sick and digusting and he does not think he can be that person.
Poor Simone is going through so many ups and down in this relationship, one minute he wants her and the next he is pushing her away. She is falling in love with him and she is devastated. She then goes to see her old friend Aiden, he will give her the pain that she needs, that she craves. He will make her feel that what she wants is okay, that she is okay as a person.
Way to go Megan Hart, a 5/5 from me. The next one does not realise for two more weeks, I don't know how I will make it through and then it will be over.

My review is a reflection of the entire series...

If you haven’t read the sexy erotic stories of Megan Hart, you should, at least once. I find her books often expanding the tolerance of my naughty radar. Simone works in the same building as the successful Elliott Anderson and has watched him take on new conquests almost every night of the week. Voyeurism is definitely Simone’s kink and she is not shy about it. After nights of watching Elliott handle his business, the perfect opportunity presents itself for them to meet. Simone’s approach is a a tad bit more aggressive than the women Elliott is used to courting and only peaks his interest in Simone. As soon as things start to get steamy, Elliot is faced with some personal challenges that throws a monkey wrench into this new erotic relationship. Everyone deals with stress in their own personal way and Elliot is faced with exploring other areas of his sexual repertoire. Areas he has often deemed as immoral. Will Simone stand by Elliott through thick and thin? Will Elliott realize how his life has changed for the better with Simone in his life? So many questions and hopefully a lot of answers.

Oh here we go again with another intense installment in this series. This one made me want to slap Elliott across the face while holding him and telling him it will be ok. We find out more about Molly and what Elliott had endured as a child. We see what he is running from but not the whole picture yet. It does make more sense now why he can’t accept who he is and what he desires.
What breaks my heart is Simone is now being pushed to new levels of pain because she loves Elliott and has already accepted him. The news that Elliott received from Molly and her talk about forgiveness did the opposite of what she had intended. Instead of making Elliott go towards healing and being more accepting of Simone, it pushed him into isolation and bitterness.
Simone did the only thing she knew to do, she ran back to her comfort zone Adian begging for him to give her pain and make her not feel anything but the high of pain and pleasure. You know he was happy to give it to her but now we are left wondering if he is going to want her back.
All I can say is this series just keeps sucking me in with each short book. Megan gives us just enough to feed our hunger but leaves us wanting more than ever. Make sure you get this series, it is so worth the read.

3.5 stars ~ ARC Received via Netgally for an honest review

Wow, Elliot and Simone's relationship is from one extreme to another.

They finally start to have a proper relationship, then BAM things from Elliot's past pop up to throw a spanner in the works.

I wanted to bitch slap Elliot at times. His behaviour towards Simone goes from sweet, hot, and steamy to cold hearted and downright cruel.

I do like that we have the opposite dynamic to what we get in most books with some BDSM content to it. Love that Simone knows what she likes and what she wants (that bit of pain) while Elliot is very wary of dishing it out.

I am interested to see what happens in the last installment after the turmoil at the end of part 4. Am wondering what ramifications Simone's actions will have on her relationship (as it stands) with Elliot.

Bring on Part 5 (Takes Me)

Huge fan of Megan Hart and this series is just proof way. She is a master of grabbing the reader within the first page and before you know it you're reading the end and wishing there was more. And boy do I wish this was full length book and I didn't have to wait for the next book. This just reminds me of why I typically wait for the whole series to be released before starting a novella series, but hey this was free so I'm not going to complain. But instead I'll just wait patiently till Book 5 is released in three weeks and at least it'll give me an excuse to reread books 1-4 in a month. So I have definitely fallen for our internally troubled lawyer and I just want to hug him. I am amazed at amount of depth she is able to instill in Elliot and Simone in so few pages. Can't wait to read the rest of this series.

**slightly spoilery**

This part started on such a sweet note. Which I didn't expect after Elliot being jealous of Aidan at the end of the last part.

He takes Simone on an honest to God date, and is perfect. The date, him, everything.

My heart hurt during all the Molly bits in the story. That whole back story is almost too tragic to think about. But I love the relationship her and Elliot share. And that he is still so devoted to her and adds her to his list <3

I loved that Elliot cooked for her. I loved it. And the progression of their relationship into something so much deeper than just a mutual kink was lovely to read. But of course, the past comes back to haunt Elliot and he starts to question his love for being rough during sex.

This part ended on a heartbreaking note for Simone, and drove her back to Aidan's place.

Though I am not usually a fan of serialized books, the author is strong enough to make the technique work. Megan Hart is a very skilled writer. She has woven a tale that is intriguing and given readers an extremely compelling hero and heroine. The themes of voyeurism and BDSM are handled with finesse and class, and the erotica factor seems high and going higher.... This 4th installment is well written, fast paced, beautifully set and as I said, the passion is there. I am a sucker for clever dialogue and Ms. Hart has the talent for writing dialogue down to an art! The story concludes soon, and I for one will be there to read more..

Elliot. Is being a tremendous Ass! Yes I said it a huge Ass!

He had a good thing going with Simone But he blows it , because his estrange father shows up ! Elliot's father showing up brings back memories !memories of why his stepmother is in a nursing home and makes him feel once again that hitting during sex is wrong and liking it , is worse!

So instead of taking Solace in Simone,sharing his feelings, he just acts like a Ass and breaks her heart. She let herself fall in love.... Simone runs to Aiden to forget!

I need the. Next installment NOW !

EVERY PART OF YOU DENIES ME is 4 in the e-serial by Megan Hart. Elliott and Simone attempt to take their relationship to the next level. Dating is a new concept and they try to take is slow. Elliott's past comes back to haunt him and he looses ground. Simone tries to reassure him that her needs are not wrong and what they do is not disgusting. Elliott reverts to his a-hole persona and Simone runs to Aiden to give her the pain she craves. Gritty and messy...just what I expect from Megan Hart. Is it April yet...looking forward to 5.
