#1 Arouse
"One day I'm going to touch you in a thousand different ways and show you how to touch me," he said. And he did.
Struggling with a tormented past, undergraduate Olivia Winter once led a practical but isolated life. Then she met Professor Dean West, a brilliant scholar of medieval history who melted Liv's inhibitions and taught her the meaning of both love and erotic pleasure. But after three years of a blissful, lusty marriage, Liv and Dean now face a crisis that threatens everything they believe about each other. And when dark secrets and temptations rise to the surface, the fallout might break them apart forever.
Love the story, very original and full of surprises, love, lust and emotion. Nina Lane goes to my fav authors. Reading Allure and waiting for Awaken.
#2 Allure
"We both want this so badly. I can feel it resonating between us like the hot pull of our first attraction, tangible and intense."
After lies and betrayal almost destroy their marriage, Dean and Olivia West reignite their blissful passion. The medieval history professor and his cherished wife are determined to fix their mistakes and fall madly in love all over again.
Then a family crisis forces Dean back into a feud with his parents and siblings, dredging up guilt over a painful family secret. Liv and Dean have battled obstacles together before, but with bitter family conflicts now endangering their fragile intimacy, they soon must struggle with events that could damage them in ways they had never imagined.
A beautiful sequel of Arouse. Can't wait to read Awaken but don't want to put an end to this story.
#3 Awaken
“I love that you love me, professor.”
“I love loving you, beauty.”

Struggling to stand on her own for the first time in years, Liv is determined to defend her husband and prove herself. Then an unexpected letter dredges up old insecurities and endangers Liv’s newfound independence. As Dean fights for his professional life, he is forced to confront his worst fear when he discovers that he can’t protect his beloved wife from her own painful past.
Never have I read a more perfect trilogy in my life. First time a story starts with the main character already married and that was something that thrill me from the beginning.
She really is the definition of brave.
He really is the definition of a trully knight.
They are so meant for each other that it's insane. We get to see them love, fight, stuggle, laugh, cry and I found myself deep in those feeling along with them.
Nina Lane wrote the most amazing books, with the perfect timing to go from present to past, Olivia's POV to Dean's POV and that's something really rare and wonderful to find.
5 stars aren't enough.
