If you are looking for a fast but fun, sexy, intriguing story - I suggest Unbound by Kathryn Taylor. Grace is a naive woman starting her internship at a large company in London where she meets Jonathan. Jonathan has taken interest in Grace and pursues her as his personal assistant.
I know this story sounds familiar but I guarantee is different . Grace is strong, independent and stands up for herself. Jonathan has a dark side, no experience with relationships....mix these two together and you get a captivating story that you Will not be able to put down until you finish.
"I know I should turn around and go now. Because he isn't good for me. Because I could lose myself in the darkness that surrounds him."
Bring on more Jonathan

Unbound - Colors of Love is HOT, HOT, HOT! I would very much say if you enjoyed the 50 Shades of Grey series this book is for you! Grace comes to England on an internship and promptly runs into the billionaire boss Jonathan Huntington aka Hunter. Jonathan is intrigued by Grace and asks her to become his personal assistant. Obviously they cannot keep there hands off each other! Grace finally gets Jonathan to agree to take her to his club near the end of the book where she has to put her feelings for Jonathan to the test. A nice big ole cliff hanger at the end has got me jonesing for book #2! I must know what becomes of this sexy couple!

Seems like everyone is trying to write the next Fifty Shades of Grey.and despite being very similar, this book was better than most. Grace has landed a 3 month internship in England at Jonathan Huntington's business. No one ever sees the boss and he never takes an interest in his workers, especially students on internship but Grace catches his eye. Grace is smitten, of course, and what ensues is a sex...a lot of it. This book does have a cliff hanger so be forewarned you have to wait till the next book comes out to find out what happens next.

'Colors of Love - Unbound' was a very hot read. Still fanning myself now.
The aspect of the good girl getting a great work opportunity then falls for her boss, a cool rogue, while the rogue, her boss, finds something different in the good girl that sparks his interest may not be a unique theme, it was well written.
All the secondary characters that voiced concerns over the girl getting involved with her boss time and again were evolving nicely.
As this book was left off with a cliffhanger ending, I hope I will be able to find out how the story plays out sometime soon in the near future.

Grace Lawson is a 22 year old economics major from Chicago. She is vibrant and has high expectations for herself. She is driven in her studies and work. She is thrilled to have been given the opportunity to experience a three month internship at Huntington Ventures in London. Little did she know that this internship would change the course of her life forever. The helm of Huntington Ventures is steered by the alluring Jonathan Huntington. Jonathan is well known as London's most eligible bachelors. He is smooth, attractive, polished, and the second Grace meets Jonathan she is completely consumed with his mere presence.
Overall, I felt like Unbound was a good read. I enjoyed the setting of the story and the secondary characters were authentic and extremely likable. I did feel the writing style was a bit narrative for my taste. I struggled a bit trying to connect with the hero and heroine but I have a feeling this is just the beginning and that things will continue to develop between the two as the series continues. This book ends in a cliffy so be prepared to be left wanting more!

Unbound-Colours of Love by Kathryn Taylor... This book was good!! It was recommended for people that enjoyed reading Fifty Shades or the Crossfire series. The story line for this was well written. Characters are interesting. (I don't like giving details about the book since I want others to read it and put their thoughts.) I can't wait to see what happens next as this book ends with a cliffhanger!
I give this book 4- 4.5 out of 5 stars~ if you liked reading 50 shades or Crossfires, give this book a try!

Unbound (Colours of Love #1) is Kathryn Taylor's debut novella. It is the first novella in an erotic romance series. There is a small cliff hanger that leads directly to the continuation of the story in book two. While I found the writing to be crisp and the dialogue good, the premise of the story is a bit tired. The naive college virgin who instantly falls in love with the wealthy but emotionally distant wealthy man has been written about far too often, and to be considered creative or original, the story would require some huge twists.
The character development is a mixed bag. Main character, Grace, starts off as a strong, intelligent young woman, however, she quickly turns into a simpering mess. She becomes the world's worst role model as she ignores her career goals and advice from multiple sources so,that she can throw herself at her handsome boss. Grace's roommates, Annie, Marcus and Ian seemed interesting and could have been great characters, but they are not given much of a role in the book. Jonathan, the object of Grace's desire, is seemingly one-dimensional, but I am guessing that his character will be more developed as the series progresses. Ms. Taylor excellently sets the scene and paints vivid descriptions of London and the various locations of the story.
If half stars were an option, I might rate this book 2.5 stars. Kathryn Taylor's Unbound shows that she is a talented writer, however, the story premise was not unique enough to inspire me to read more of the series when published.

Book kinda reminds me of 50 shades ..but different .. Grace meets Jonathan her boss and is smitten yes the sex is hot but I didn't feel the chemistry Jonathan annoyed me it's like he just screws no heart or feelings then the club scene I'm so glad Grace left I know she loves Jonathan but ya can't change him. Drama, romance twist and turns .. 4/5 stars I received this book for a unbiased review

I really enjoyed this book. When I first began reading it, I felt like I had read the story already. There were a few differences so I continued. I thought the story was well-written and interesting. The writing itself was good and it flowed well. The cliff hangar blew me away and now I am definitely looking forward to the next installment. I am thinking that the good girl will eventually tame the wild boy.

Grace Lawson has pretty much won the chance of a lifetime. At twenty-two she is majoring in Economics at the University of Chicago and has been chosen for a three month internship in London with none other than one of the most prestigious companies around. Huntington Ventures owned and operated by Jonathan Huntington who just so happens to be a member of the British Aristocracy.
The trip and internship alone is chance of a lifetime and while she hopes to have a chance to meet Jonathan in person, she realizes that will more than likely not happen so imagine her surprise when she arrives in London and finds herself face to face with him. Only he isn't there for her but that one chance meeting puts her in a position that she never thought that she would be in. One that opens her eyes to a life that she never knew was possible but can she survive in Jonathan's world? He's cold and unfeeling most of the time but there are certain times that's he isn't but is it enough? Enough when she finds herself falling in love but him promising that it can never be anything other than what they have now.
At times I found myself struggling to finish this book and others I couldn't put it down. The plot seemed slow most of the time to me and many parts were boring. In fact the book didn't really get good until about 60% through it. Also I didn't dislike either of the main character's but I couldn't really connect with them either. It does end on a major cliffhanger and because the last half of the book was what held my interest so much I will read the next book once it's released. Hopefully Jonathan will fond around and we will find out what the deal is with the Japanese businessman which by the way I didn't care for at all.

Jonathan is passionate but cold.
Grace finds him irresistible.
When in the throes of passion, he is scorching hot with Grace but seems to easily slip back to indifference.
Grace pushes herself to fit into his world until she can no longer give up her own desires.
Looking forward to what happens next.
If you don't like a cliffhanger, be sure you have the next book in the series.

This book series was really great. If you are a fan of FSOG or Crossfire series, you will enjoy this series as well. The characters were well developed and I loved the story line. This book gripped me with twists and turns.
Definitely recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book!
I loved it!! It kinda is like 50 shades of gray, but hey, that's not a bad thing!! It's one of my favorite books!! I always feel like enough people give a brief review of the story, so I'll just say...this is an awesome book!!I enjoyed the characters, but was a little bummed at a cliffhanger! I'll be reading more by Kathryn Taylor!!

NetGalley contacted me about The Colour's of Love Series by Kathryn Taylor. This is a British Erotic chit lit type of romance. It was totally not what I expected and was a little disappointed. I am not fond of erotica at all but it did have a good story line. It kept me waiting for more to find out what happened between Grace and Jonathan.

Hot and steamy right from the start. If you like Fifty Shades them this is for you. However it does seem to follow a very similar pattern and I would have preferred to see a more original plot. The book ends with a cliff-hanger so I presume there will be more. I would read the next one to see where it goes. I enjoyed watching all her friends warning her off him and found the Japanese business partner to be really creepy. I expect the next book will investigate the Hunters problems so we can see why he is the way he is??

A twisted romance with steaming hot passion. Naive girl travels to England and meets mysterious sexy boss, may sound similar to a lot of the romances but this has that little extra. Mainly some dramatic twists and secrets. Loved the book and the ending leaves you hanging with what will happen. Cant wait for part two.

Absolutely loved it!!
Grace seems completely out of her element when she arrives in England. The scene in the airport is so embarrassing, it's hilarious! But I love how she pulls it together and comes out on top!
I'm excited for the next installment!! What will Jonathan choose? I can't wait to find out.

"Unbound," by Kathryn Taylor, is the first book in the Colours of Love Series. I love the tone and pace of this book, it was surprising every step of the way. I'm looking forward to the next part of Grace and Jonathon's story, this one was so erotic and tantalizing, I can't wait for more.

This book comes in the area of a lot of writers trying to write the next 50 shades of grey. I'm sorry but it's true. However, this is miles better than 50sog.
Even unedited this is better. Yeah typical young virgin girl meets older more experienced rich guy and falls for him. He's resistant to relationships and she makes it her goal to try and change his mind.

This is the first book in a series. The storyline is a lot like Fifty Shades of Grey and reminded me of it often. It is mediocre writing with unrealistic dialog and events. Too many eye rolls, "ughs," and sighs from me. It was decent enough that I wanted to finish it, but it was not good enough to make me want read any followups. The story may appeal to some readers and they will be hooked. It just wasn't for me. I was given a ebook from Netgalley.com.

I just couldn't get into the story and stopped reading about 30% of the way through. I found Grace to be incredibly immature and whiny. I can't imagine a CEO finding those qualities to be attractive in someone.

I was in the first part of the book, not even the first half, and decided to stop reading it and to get another book! I find that the book is way tooooo wordy for my taste! There is too much description for mundane, minuscule scenes and sentences. I like a book that moves along, not bogged down with too many words! And since this is a series, it is way too long!
