Watching Trilogy by Bethany James {a review}


 During my time away from my blog, I read so many books. I pretty much owe you all a giant wrap up for all the books. Three of the books that I read were part of a trilogy by Bethany James. These books were recommended for people who enjoyed the Salacious Players Club by Sara Cate. 

When I started this trilogy I wasn't completely certain what to expect. The author had said that it was light on the drama, and heavy on the spice. So I kept that in mind. What the author didn't say is that there is virtually no plot to these novellas. If you're looking for a lot of spice, then pick up this trilogy.

The Watching Trilogy follows the relationship of Jack and Celia. They met at a coffee shop, and began a whirlwind romance from there. The first book, Watching, is very insta-lust. No I didn't mean insta-love, I said what I said. In this book is where we also meet Drew and Elle. They appear in all three books to various degrees. Jack is already friends with them, but Celia is just meeting them. It is quite the introduction too. 

Book two, Watched, shows our couple a few weeks later. A proposition has been made, there has been a revelation about an unknown connection, and the couple has to figure out how to move forward. Once again this book is heavy on the spice, and light on the plot. I actually wish there had been more plot in this one because of the bombshell revelation. I wanted more insight on that, and to see how the other person responded and/or communicated.

Book three, Watch, has Celia meeting Jack's family, visiting a club that is similar to SPC, and figuring out how to respond to that second proposition. It is at the club where they have an experience that Celia probably thought she'd never have. Upon returning home they deal with that proposition. Again, no real plot.

If you are looking for a trilogy that is heavy on the steamy scenes, and extremely light on the actual storyline, then you should consider reading this trilogy. 

Honestly I enjoyed it for what it was, but it was nothing more than a 3 star read. That's just from my perspective though, and you may rate it differently. 

Have you read the Watching trilogy? If so, what were your thoughts, and rating? I'd love to know.

Thanks for reading,
Laura
