The Intoxicating Passions Box set is the complete serial series. It has all five serial/novella parts to the Intoxicating Passions series. This is the only way I like to read serials. I like it when they are all boxed up together in an ebook so that I can read them all together one right after another. It is nice because they are so short that when I read them all back to back they are like reading a full length novel. I thought the story parts were divided nicely. Each one had a good kind of cresendo ending, and they each made me want to continue on to the next part.

This is the story of Korah and Dane. Korah has been hurt in the past very badly by an ex boyfriend and because of that she is very distrustful of guys. Dane is the typical love em and leave guy. One night at a time. I liked how we got to know each of the characters a little before they even met each other. That was nice because when they did meet, I already cared about Korah. As for Dane, getting a little background on the kind of guy he was helped so me all of the character growth that he eventually had. His growth and development was not instantaneous by any means. He still messed up along the way, and some of his actions were a bit frustrating to me, but you can’t help but have him grow on you a little. Korah didn’t make it super easy for him either. She held him accountable for his choices, just as she should have.

The story is told in Dual narrative between Dane and Korah. It was perfect for plot development of the story. I like it when we see the same story growing from the guy and the girl. It is always fun for me to get into a guys head and poke around a bit. Overall, intoxicating passions is a fun love story told in short little serial bits. They are like watching 30 min tv show episodes of the two of them. It is a good instant gratification type book. One that I enjoyed and was a quick read.
