Editoral Review
Ecstasy by Bella Andre is a contemporary romance novel that was first published on January 1, 2003. Bella Andre is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who has written over 50 romance novels.
Ecstasy is one of her earlier works and is set in Napa Valley, California. The novel falls under the genre of erotic romance, which deals with the romantic relationships between the characters in explicit detail.
The novel revolves around two characters, Sophie Sullivan and Jake McCann. Sophie is a successful event planner and is part of the wealthy and influential Sullivan family.
Jake, on the other hand, is a successful businessman who comes from a less privileged background. Despite their different backgrounds, Sophie and Jake have a shared history and intense attraction towards each other.
The two of them navigate various challenges and obstacles as they try to pursue a relationship. The backdrop of Napa Valley and the wine-making industry adds to the story’s charm, with Andre expertly describing the landscape and the production process.
The novel also touches on topics such as family dynamics, class differences, and overcoming past traumas. Andre’s writing is well-crafted, with engaging dialogue and vivid descriptions.
The chemistry between the central characters is evident, and their emotional turmoil is palpable. However, some readers may find the graphic sex scenes to be excessive, detracting from the emotional depth of the story.
Ecstasy is a light read that provides an escape into the world of luxury and romance. However, readers looking for a deeper exploration of themes may find the novel to be lacking in substance.
It is comparable to other works within the erotic romance genre, such as the Fifty Shades of Grey series by E.L. James. Overall, Ecstasy by Bella Andre is a well-written, engaging romance novel set in the lush surroundings of Napa Valley.
The novel is recommended for readers seeking a steamy romance novel to indulge in their guilty pleasures. The novel rates three out of five stars for its engaging writing and intricate plot.
