ENTRANCE - Thornhill Trilogy Book 1

Clarissa was looking for a job when she came to Thornhill, but she has found so much more. Unfortunately, clause seven of her contract tells her happily ever after is not here for her.Aiden is a man on a mission and he finally gave up on women for the moment because his luck has been horrible. When he meets his new PA for the first time he recognizes a true beauty both inside and out. Unfortunately, his past is unpleasant and there are people in his life who are decidedly troublesome.

Aiden and Clarissa have found in each other what they could never find with another. Unfortunately, there are those people who do not wish to see their happiness and will do anything to put an end to it. Will Clarissa be able to get past the secrets Aiden holds? The question made me moot because Aiden’s past is determined to dig up all haunts and hurts to ensure he will never find happiness with Clarissa.

There are no words for the sheer genius of the writing of Ms. Sorel. The setting comes alive with culture and history. Each character has their own place in the story and each enhances the other. I read it all in one sitting, unable to put the story down for even one minute. It is a fabulous love story full of intrigue and mystery, but the very foundation is a man who is a hero with all his flaws who wishes he could save the world, including the woman who has stolen his very soul. I challenge a reader to pick up Entrance and not become as addicted as Aiden and Clarissa. Beware there is a little mystery at the end.

Clarissa Moon is a young girl who has majored in art history, and in desperate need of a job. She currently shares an apartment with her childhood friend, Tabitha, who doubles up as her adviser on matters fashion. Ellen Shelton from the agency selects Clarissa for a job interview as a P.A at the Thornhill Holdings and for Clarissa, it is just like any other interview, until she arrives at Thornhill Holdings. As she settles into the room full of contenders, they all mockingly stare at her for she stands out, adorned with 1960s apparel.

Aidan Thornhill, Clarissa's probable and enigmatic boss is labelled wealthy, impossibly handsome, and the sexiest man alive. Being an eligible bachelor, he has proved to be every lady's dream. Rumour has it that Aidan Thornhill seduces his female employees; especially his personal assistants and apparently, every P.A that has fallen into his arms before, eventually ended up with a dismissal letter. Entrance (Thornhill Trilogy Book 1) is a romance novel by J. J. Sorel that tells a story full of suspense and twists that had me thrilled and enthralled to the end.

This novel captured my attention from the first chapter with its salacious description of events. If you are an admirer of garnished romantic fairy-tale, then you will certainly have a tussle putting this book down. I like how the author keeps the reader guessing all through, not forgetting the twists and turns that adds to the beauty of the exceptional writing style. Character development has also received a fair share probably because this is book 1 of the Thornhill Trilogy.

With Aidan being a lover of art, the author couldn't miss the opportunity to invite art history from as far as the 19th century. I also admired how art is used to electrify romance between Clarissa and Aidan even when Aidan's dark past and nightmares from his best friend and former army colleague Bryce Beaumont threatens to resurface. Fashion, Art, and love are the main themes in the novel and have worked magic for the plot in each setting throughout all the fifty chapters. This makes me so desperately yearn for book 2.

There is absolutely nothing I didn't like about this novel. Some readers may dislike the book for being extremely steamy in describing the sexual scenes; however, for those who like reading hot romantic tales, you may want to grab a copy of this. On the contrary, this book is not fit for young readers below the age of 18 years. Though I was keen not to skip errors, the proof reader's eye seems to have done excellently in editing the book; therefore I won't hesitate to give the book 4 out of 4 stars. OnlineBookClub.org

Intriguing, Sexy and Artful  by Chicklit Cafe Book Reviews

Clarissa Moone is timid, high-class and intellectual. But, she feels that she’s not very special, with no distinctive features, and is basically just an ordinary normal girl. She finds herself waiting for a job interview amidst a bouquet of beautiful women that look like models.

She doesn’t know the boss’s name but from the look of his office, he has fabulous expensive taste.

What are her chances of landing this wonderful personal assistant job?
Well, the very next day, she lands the job and is now employed.

She now goes from being broke, with only an art history degree to her name, to having money advanced for expenses and a company car to boot. And let’s not forget her hot, handsome, filthy rich boss. Wow, she can’t believe her luck.

Entrance by J.J. Sorel is a captivating, sexy and intriguing love story that takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, reactions and feelings of passion.

Aidan, Clarissa’s new boss, is attracted and smitten with her at first sight. Aidan is almost impossible to understand and interpret. He is quiet and private. He has a questionable dark past but, Clarissa doesn’t care. She finds herself melting when he looks at her and goes weak in the knees and quivers when he touches her.

Aiden longs for beautiful Clarissa. She is intelligent, pure and sexy. He falls for her hard, and his passion for her grows stronger every day, And, Clarissa is head over heels for Aiden.

What follows is a lustful, intense story of two people that grow to passionately love each other and long to be together. Even though there are issues of the past, gossip, desire and even vengeance to overcome, the couple must endure through it all.

J.J. Sorel writes an excellent, sizzling hot contemporary romance story.Each chapter is written, very skillfully, in the voice of the two characters interchangeably. I found that she did an excellent job communicating the storyline in that way. A lot of authors struggle with that type of dialog, but J.J. Sorel excels above most authors that attempt to write in that manner.

The captivating plot flows along magnificently and the characters are well developed, established and interesting.

Very well composed, our author J.J. Sorel, features the storyline in an appealing fashion and describes the settings in a vivid and graphic way, as to appeal to the reader's imaginatory senses. The characters actions, as well as, their interactions are penned flawlessly. The love and romance scenes are written in a smart, tasteful and unpretentious way-not over done, but still with plenty of the sizzling-hot factor.

I found this read to be an extraordinary escape from my normal life. But it is still an exceptionally realistic story. It is an appreciable and satisfying tale as it correctly chronicles the uncertainties and problems that two people, in love, have in their lives together at certain times. It shows how relationships can be a struggle, even when the love and passion is strong.

I Thoroughly enjoyed Entrance- J.J. Sorel’s debut novel.

I am anticipating the second installment in the Thornhill Trilogy.

For a debut novel, author J.J. Sorel, shines above the rest!

Highly Recommended!

In this sizzling contemporary romance story, J.J. Sorel, brings readers an emotional, intriguing and unique love story. The story begins with, Clarissa Moone, sitting in an expensive fancy office amidst a handful of, model worthy, beautiful women. She is timidly awaiting for her name to be called for an interview for a new personal assistant job. Not knowing who her new boss is, she has no idea that she is about to embark on a life and love she never expected or could dream of.

The next day, she lands the job. She goes from being penniless, to actually living at her new boss’s opulent multimillion dollar estate. She is now surrounded with beautiful things, exquisite art, and her extremely handsome new boss, Aiden. Being an art history major and art lover, she can’t believe her luck.

Aiden, falls for smart, voluptuous and beautiful Clarissa at first sight. Although, Clarissa sees herself as an average normal girl, Aiden sees a classy, intelligent and desirable woman. For these reasons, Aiden falls hard for Clarissa. And for Clarissa, she feels the same about Aiden, and tingles when he glances at her. Aiden has a somewhat shady past, but Clarissa doesn’t seem to care, she is too taken by him.

What ensues is an emotional, lustful love story between two people that must overcome the past and try to make it work.J.J. Sorel has done a magnificent job in her first book, Entrance, in the Thornhill Trilogy. The passionate love scenes are tastefully written and described. I was thrilled and excited while reading this delicious romance story. Sorel’s voice is clearly heard and quite unique. The descriptions of everything from Aiden’s estate, to the food and to the love scenes, took me on a delightful sensory ride. The dialog is written well, engaging the reader with every word. J.J. Sorel seizes the reader with a balmy story of love, lust and relationships. She is a skillful writer with a grand imagination that comes alive on paper. She has proven herself in this impressive novel. Entrance is so much more than a sexual love story. Sorel shows how difficult relationships can be when the past, gossip, vengeance, love, desire and other people are involved. This story is intelligent, realistic and exciting. This is one of those books that I would read again. I highly recommend it to all those that love smart and simmering adult romance novels.
