Great story...loved it...really interesting read....++ - Wolfie67 - Dec-27-2009   

Although there's some romance between two ladies, it's not the main focus here. The detectives really do their job and pieces of evidence and proof don't jump into their hands like miracle bunnies. A real investigation story. Good job ! - Mani - Jan-23-2010   

That was a great "who done it" story. Ms O'Rielly kept the mystery going right up to the end. Wonderful characters, sweet romance. Highly recommended. - Anonymous - Aug-06-2010   

Bloody excellent story. I had no idea until the end.....kept me guessing all the way. - JettBlack - Jan-19-2011

Hmm...I think you need to know more about me before I answer that question. Yes...you need to understand everything...This is the sequel to 'Lost.'
A beautiful companion to Lost, so intimate an examination of the relationship that is so balanced and kept true to the original - romance and that forever after factor that I loved. - nondescriptone - Dec-19-2007

Cast: Carlin, Sue
Honors/Awards:  #70 in 2005    
Carlin Whittaker had the world on a string. She had a stable relationship with her partner of almost twelve years and the perfect job. A chance encounter turns her world upside down and changes everything.
This was a nice twist on the usual romantic story. I think some of the scenes could have been fleshed out more to give the story a more balanced feel, but it was still a good read. - Lyn B - Mar-15-2011

Nirvana by Erin O'Rielly

I so enjoy the feel of a character like Eleanor Powers. So glad to see this sequel. Powers makes the other two main characters feel like a couple pieces of milk-toast. Hope you continue, and thanks for all your work. The Seduction of Carol blew me away. - Anonymous - Sep 27th, 2005   

This is a sequel to "Those Three Days", read that first. What goes around comes around :-) Really loved it. - Anonymous - Feb-26-2007   

Very good sequel. I liked how this turned out. I don't want to reveal anything more because of the spoilt, but it's well written and fun to read. There's always something fun in watching someone get what they deserve. - Lyn B - Mar-17-2011

This is the second in the LJ & Kiley Series, LJ's viewpoint. Kiley is pregnant and LJ, regretfully, goes out on that dig. Events blow out of proportion and all could be lost.

Just wanted to comment on how much I enjoyed this series. Erin has spun a unique, wonderfully engaging story. Highly recommended. Read them all. Well worthwhile. - x/g fanfic fanatic - Jun-14-2010   

Good sequel. Seeing LJ and Kiley's perspectives adds a lot to the series. It's a good read and frustrating when you see LJ's reactions to Max. - Lyn B - Apr-03-2011   

Good, enjoyable read! - Ricky - Nov-18-2014

This is a truly unique trilogy. Erin O'Rielly has spun a wonderful tale, looking at events from two different perspectives and then bringing it all together.

For months, Winnie worked as an apprentice at the upscale shop that specialized in business apparel for women. Her recent degree in design helped her immensely in obtaining the much coveted job and finally, her internship seemed to be over. However, it did nothing to prepare her for Eleanor Powers, her very first account...and more...? Read on to the startling conclusion.
This is a wonderful story. Erin's stories just keep getting better and better. This one has vivid, unforgettable characters and you will never guess the ending. A must read. - squrl - Sep 11th, 2005   

This is a well written story about power and seduction. It's powerful and disturbing to watch how Eleanor treats Winnie. I'm glad there is a sequel that 'evens the score'. Worth reading. - Lyn B - Apr-06-2011   

A three day version of the movie 9-1/2 weeks. And its just as erotic and spicy. Don't forget to read Nirvana, the sequel. Taken together, this is a very good read. Definitely one of the most erotic I've read on Athenaeum. And one of the rare select few I gave a 10,10 on both overall and spice index. - OMG - Aug-02-2011
