REVIEW: Looking Inside by Beth Kery

Looking Inside by Beth Kery: After losing her sister, Eleanor is determined to take her sister’s advice and take more risks. Even though Eleanor is smart and beautiful, she’s used to seeing herself as the quiet, shy, librarian living in her sister’s larger-than-life shadow. She’s been enjoying trying out some of her sister’s clothes and she’s hoping to finally step out of the shadows to pursue Trey.

Trey is a sexy, confident entrepreneur and playboy. He’s been single-minded about achieving his professional goals and now he’s re-evaluating his goals when it comes to relationships. After a few bad relationships, he’s decided to take a break from dating and focus on self-improvement.

Eleanor has been captivated by Trey for some time now. They live in neighboring condos and she just happens to have the perfect view into his bedroom. What she’s seen has fueled her fantasies and she has a plan to seduce the unknowing Trey. Her bold proposition is just the beginning of the fun and games for them.

“Why should I bother? You’re a heathen.”
“At least I don’t deny it,” he said, nibbling at her succulent lower lip.
“At least?” she mumbled.
“Yeah. You got all defensive when I called you a witch,” he reminded her.

Trey is simultaneously intrigued and confused by Eleanor. She’s seemingly a sexy siren and daring temptress while also being private, reluctant, shy, and closed-off. They have blazing-hot chemistry, and both are left unsure and rattled by the experience. They agree to a fling, but neither are happy with the seeming limits that places on their growing feelings.

“I was then. Less so every moment I spend with you,” she whispered before she went on her tiptoes and pressed her lips to his.
“You don’t still think I’m a heathen then?” he asked quietly against her mouth a moment later.
“Maybe. But a heathen with potential,” she conceded.

Looking Inside is a sensual journey of self-discovery after loss. Beth Kery provides complicated characters with unexpected connections. Ms. Kery created a good balance of heat, humor, banter, romance, and conflict as they try to figure out themselves and their relationship. Fans of Megan Hart and Lorelei James will enjoy Looking Inside.
