There is a great deal that goes into making a video blog. Lizzie Bennet should know, having become a YouTube sensation over the course of her year-long video diary project. The Lizzie Bennet Diaries chronicled Lizzie’s life as a twenty-four-year-old grad student, struggling under a mountain of student loans and living at home with her two sisters - beautiful Jane and reckless Lydia. What may have started as her grad student thesis grew into so much more, as the videos came to inform and reflect her life and that of her sisters.

Really good!

Summary
Sex and emotions: a dangerous combination. Despite the weakness in her legs and the fear of what was yet to come, she rose to meet her Master. She knew better than to hesitate when given orders. Instinctively she dropped her chin, stealing her gaze away from his eyes and letting them rest closer to his waist.
"None of that," he said, taking her hands firmly and placing them at her sides. Then he reached down and undid the button of her jeans. He unzipped them. Alex breathed in sharply, feeling herself getting instantly excited by the brush of his hand on her stomach.
Then slowly he dropped to his knees and pulled her jeans down to her ankles. Alex closed her eyes and felt his mouth kiss her stomach and hipbones. His hands softly caressed her lower back, moving downward, tracing the lines of her hips and thighs. "Spread your legs."

The pleasure continues...
Would you listen to Darkness Illuminated again? Why?
Yes yes YES! This is a truly fantastic follow up from Book One: Her Secret Submission. In my experience, a lot of series like this can lose steam in the second book but that certainly was NOT the case with Darkness Illuminated. This saga continued with even more passion and excitement. Alice Wright's writing is so engaging and the story line between Alex and her Master is hotter and more suspenseful than ever in this volume... This book opens with action right from the start. Tensions are running high. And just as Alex begins to feel secure in a more conventional relationship with Sir, everything turns upside down again! The sex scenes are hotter than before and the emotional connection you feel with the protagonists is incredible. What a triumph!
What other book might you compare Darkness Illuminated to, and why?
I thought that this series might end up being like 50 shades of grey and other books of that genre but actually, this was a very unique book. I think the thing that sets it apart from the rest is the quality of the writing and the level of suspense. The best part for me is knowing that I'll never be able to predict what's going to happen next!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The emotional connection with Alex and Sir is so heart wrenching, so bitter sweet. Their actions are so human in a way... they both do good things and bad things, you can love them and hate them at the same time. I was also very excited to get to see the smaller, supporting characters developed much more in this book. And the ending.... oh my gosh, the SUSPENSE!
Any additional comments?
I can't WAIT for book three!

Elliot, you are love!!
Would you consider the audio edition of Darkness Illuminated to be better than the print version?
Umm, yeah obviously I think, the seduce Amanda Hendrick added to story wouldn't be there in the print version. Loved the book.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Elliot, because he was perfect in every way. Loved it
Which character – as performed by Amanda Hendricks – was your favourite?
Amanda Hendricks did an excellent job at narrating Alice Wright book. Maybe she is the reason I enjoyed this book even more, All I had to do was play the book and listen her voice calmly. She narrated the story smoothly, and her voice was easy to follow as well as pretty intimidating.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The pleasure!!
Any additional comments?
I think this book should be featured, and marked the best seller. I Loved the plot of the story, the chemistry between Alice and Jackson, and Alice and Elliot, both were great. But of course Elliot, rule every character. His character was my favorite among all. The ending.. Waoow!! It was nothing like I imagined or what I was looking for, it was amazing, it changed the whole story. Recommended book!!

What a tale!
It was a very good read. Even better than the first book as we got to see more of all the characters and how they developed their relationships. It was also gun to see how Elliot (Sir) evolved from a dominant master to a caring lover. All in all. I really enjoyed it. The narration was also really professional and made the story so real. Great book all round. Hopefully the author decides to add a third book.

The PERFECT Sequel!
Would you consider the audio edition of Darkness Illuminated to be better than the print version?
I prefer audiobooks to written books because I can listen while I'm doing housework! Although, I must say that I didn't get very much housework done while listening to this. It was so gripping I had to keep sitting down to take it all in. There is so much heat and DRAMA in this sequel. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Who was your favorite character and why?
My favorite character is Francois. He's the calm and steady one who really offsets the erratic behavior of Alex and Sir. He just seems like a big teddy bear who wants the best for the couple. In a way, I think of him in almost the same position as the reader.
I also cannot get enough of Sir/Elliott... Even when he's being difficult and mean, something about him is just irresistible. He has this loving heart but he's damaged... I love each time we learn more about him and his past... and I can definitely see why Alex loves him so much.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed, I cried, I got angry, I felt joyous... you name it! It's such a gripping book, you can really get swept away with the mood of it all. Such a different take on erotic fiction... there are plenty of sexy moments, don't get me wrong, but there's also a lot of content. Alice Wright is an intelligent writer who seems to always strike the perfect balance between fantasy and reality.

This is really a superb sequel to Her Secret Submission. Thrilling, suspenseful, hot and heavy! And the ending... WOW!
I enjoyed this one even more than the first book and really cannot wait to get into the next instalment.

The sequel is even better....
Any additional comments?
Very surprising! I have to admit i kinda thought i might guess what happened in the second book in this fantastic series but even i was shocked. A few twists and turns I was NOT expecting. Such a great series. SO many crap 50 shades of grey rip offs out there. But this one is different. I would say it is much better than 50 shades... to be honest.

The most arousing book
Would you listen to Darkness Illuminated again? Why?
Yes I would listen to it again and again, whenever I will feel like I need some audio pleasure. Since I loved the chemistry and the arousing gestures of each and every character.
What about Amanda Hendricks’s performance did you like?
Amanda Hendricks did an excellent job at narrating Alice Wright book. Maybe she is the reason I enjoyed this book even more, All I had to do was play the book and listen her voice calmly. She narrated the story smoothly, and her voice was easy to follow as well as pretty intimidating.

I think this book should be featured, and marked the best seller. I Loved the plot of the story, the chemistry between Alice and Jackson, and Alice and Elliot, both were great. But of course Elliot, rule every character. His character was my favorite among all. The ending.. Waoow!! It was nothing like I imagined or what I was looking for, it was amazing, it changed the whole story. Recommended book!!

Such a great, well written and superbly produced series which only seems to get better and better!

Super Duper, POW, ZAP, BAM!!
Ms. Wright, Ms. Wright, what a wonderfully inventive and erotic space from which you allow yourself to create. I thought I had more important things to do than to listen to your book. I was wrong.

Absolutely loved this!
Best erotic story I have read or heard in many many years, possibly ever. Much better than the 50 shades series.
