Good continuation, just wish the characters could get to know each other more....understand each other....not just have sex all the time....need more honesty between them....just saying. ( )

"Radiant" by Elizabeth Hayley

My View:

All I can say is that this read had me coming and going and coming and going again! Now, why was this? I am not sure who I felt sorry for Siobhan Dempsey or Derick Miller. In my wildest dreams I a thought that Derick really cared for Siobhan but by the end of this read I simply wasn't sure! It was definitely a fact that he had an horrible obsession with her that was beginning to scare the heck out of me. Derick seemed to not be able to keep doing things behind Siobhan's back that surely she would find out about it all in the end. Was he that clueless? Will he ever learn or just say enough of this? Now as for Siobhan will she ever stop all of this and make a decision and stick with it? Oh well I guess we will just have to see what will happen in the next 'Diamond Trilogy # 3.' Both of these characters really have something going on for them but will this ever happen with what keep breaking them apart. What was up with this man that he thought he could buy her...through buying all of her paintings? Will Derick ever learn Siobhan doesn't want him interfering with her life even though he is a billionaire and had all the money? I can understand the love Derick has for Siobhan but the way he keep repeating the same old thing [following and buying her] is getting old. So, I guess we will have to tune into the next read to see how this story will turn out. ( )

The continuing story of Siobhan Dempsey and Derick Miller, as begun in “Dazzling,” the first book in this quick-read BookShots trilogy.
Siobhan has broken up with Derick and fled to Detroit where she is beginning to find success with her art. Some of her fellow artists are celebrating success in saving an abandoned building on which a beautiful mural has been painted.
And then Derick shows up . . . .

The Cinderella-esque beginning to the trilogy and the opening plotline for this continuation, centering on the artists and the mural on the abandoned building, held promise for the series.
But this tale rapidly becomes lackluster and plotless, offering little more than far-too-graphic ad nauseam sex scenes. There’s no romance, no witty dialogue, no real story unless readers consider Siobhan and Derick having sex a sufficient storyline. The sparkle of the first volume is missing.
After a promising start in “Dazzling,” this installment is a major disappointment. ( )
