About TOO MUCH
In Lea Griffith’s Loveswept debut, a novel that’s perfect for erotic romance readers, two lovers who have shared exquisite pain and unforgettable bliss find solace back in each other’s arms.
Jeremiah Copeland and Daly Edwards have a history. Even though he grew up a criminal struggling to care for two younger siblings, and she’s the pampered daughter of a power-hungry senator, they formed a bond that nothing could break. Only a lack of trust ripped them apart.
Seven years later, Daly has reason to believe that Jeremiah’s brother is in trouble. She reaches out to Jeremiah the only way she knows how: at his BDSM club, The Underground. But one look ignites a heat she thought had cooled forever. As Jeremiah takes control of her body once again, Daly quickly loses control of her carefully rebuilt world. Too much has never been enough between them, and as danger swirls in the shadows, Jeremiah forces Daly to recognize what has never changed: She still loves him. His command is that she return her heart—and he will make her obey.
Ellen’s Review
Too Much is a sexy, adult, EROTIC novel with some BDSM elements and lots and lots of thrilling, mind-blowing sex scenes! Lea Griffith is a new author for me and this lady can WRITE! Too Much jumps right into the action as Daly (love the name) boldly visits Jeremiah’s BDSM club after leaving him 3 years earlier. She is delivering a cryptic message from his brother, the District Attorney for Atlanta, and is extremely cautious and a little fearful about seeing the very man that she walked away from years before. They both loved each other deeply and were both torn apart when she left.
Jeremiah is a HOT Dom who has only ever loved one sub, Daly. He is determined not to let her go again and Daly is pretty much powerless to resist him. This is not a typical D/s story in that the excellent writing and creative storyline elevates this above many books in this genre. The author does not skimp on the sexy times and Daly and Jeremiah’s scenes together are SCORCHING HOT. Their blazing chemistry is actually built on real emotion and I truly felt a connection between these characters. Although some of the writing was a tad repetitive in the beginning, Jeremiah absolutely stole my heart:
“Rules are naught between us. You have my everything because you will give me yours.”
There is a mystery in this story which brings back some of the old mistrust that caused Daly to leave Jeremiah before. I loved the supporting characters in Too Much (hello, Toby and Ruthie!) and also was intrigued by the lady cop, Savannah. I think she might be trouble and hope she gets her own story!
But the heart of this story is the absolutely blazing chemistry between Jeremiah and Daly. Although he is a Dom, he shows his tender and loving side with Daly and there a few “vanilla” scenes mixed in with the BDSM scenes.
“Everything,” She whispered when he raised his head. “Always”, He affirmed.
All in all, I really loved this very adult, thrilling story and look forward to reading more from Lea Griffith.
