Leia’s Review:
Exploration is the
story of Jazz and Julian.
Recently widowed
at such a young age, Jazz has learned to seize life. She sets off on an adventure to Paris, a city
she has always wanted to visit. As luck would have it, on the plane to Paris she
ends up next to Julian. Julian is an extremely
wealthy and talented architect who is finishing a job in Paris. He just so
happens to be incredibly attractive!
Things escalate quickly
on their flight, both emotionally and physically, leaving Julian no doubt that
he want to pursue Jazz. However, with
her past he knows that she is not ready for such a bold statement. When fate
steps in again, landing them in the same hotel, Julian sets his sights on Jazz
and decides to pursue her diligently.
As Julian decides
to open Jazz’s eyes to his world, their relationship progresses - until Julian
makes an intriguing proposal to Jazz regarding the future of their relationship. Things get interesting, and it definitely
sets the stage for a great second book.
Though it is not
something that normally bothers me, there did seem to be a lot of grammatical errors
in this book. Also there were times that the point of view changed so rapidly
that it was hard to keep up. However, I must give credit where credit is due,
and as the book progressed this did get better. I think that with the right
editor, this book has great potential.
The story was fresh and the sex was off-the-charts hot…. I mean
H-O-T-T-T! I was incredibly impressed with Peyton’s ability to have the
characters so completely compatible in the bedroom. I do wish that compatibility would have
transcended outside of the bedroom. I
think that both Jazz and Julian have so much potential to be more “in depth”
characters. I do keep reminding myself,
however, that this is a trilogy – so perhaps their emotional connection will be
developed more in the coming books. I
would definitely love to see that.
Overall, I was
intrigued throughout the entire book. Though
at first this book seems like it is going to be your traditional “billionaire
romance” there are some definite twist and turns that give it it’s own unique
spin. This book does end on a slight
cliffy, so you’ve been warned – but I cannot wait to see where Peyton takes
Julian and Jazz in book two.
(Also, please note - Book Two "Obstruction" is out now!!)
3.5 Stars!
