*Clandestine is a FULL-LENGTH STANDALONE Romance.*
One night. No names. No commitment.
That was our agreement.
But Spencer Lancaster was addictive.
And I was high. High off his taste, starved for his kiss, and desperate for his touch.
So when he asked me to stay, to enjoy his company for more nights than I knew I should, I wasn’t in the right mind to say no. Everything was perfect.
A dream come true.
But half a world away there were secrets. Lies. Insecurities.
All of the truths that could tear us apart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spencer your my new addiction
Reviewed in Australia on 25 August 2017
Ava Harrison's books are fast becoming a new favourite of mine. Her books leave you breathless and squirming at the same time for love to conquer the world.

Clandestine is a remarkable story of love, hope, strength and forgiveness. It has all the feels and frills of overcoming insecurities and believing in yourself and what's in front of you.

What's in front of this story is the awe inspiring, arrogant Spencer Lancaster who is hot as sin with his beautiful green eyes and intellectual brain. His life just starts getting interesting when his eyes fall on insecure Olivia Miller, who is a model with some very bad addictions. It's definitely a very interesting combination when their worlds collide.

So if you love happily ever afters that make you believer in conquering your demons with the right kind of love on your side than this book is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another dose of Harrison is always a good thing!
Reviewed in Australia on 23 August 2017
4.5 Stars ~ Reviewed by Emma-Louise on behalf of KFF

A hotel tycoon and a weight wrestling model, both struggling with their own inner demons, and neither is looking for true love. 

Olivia Miller a woman with more ghosts then the Mary Celeste, fighting to maintain a modelling career whilst also fighting deep seeded body issues. She has never seen herself as good enough.  Never skinny enough.  Never pretty enough, never enough.

Spencer Lancaster the devil may care loves 'em and leave 'em playboy CEO. Saddled with the family business because of a family rift his father has with his older brother Grant and miscreant younger brother Pierce. Add the fact that Spencer is living in his father's shadow he's attempting to pull out all the stops to expand the business.  Only someone is putting a spanner in the works, and that someone in good old Ava Harrison fashion, wasn't whom I thought it would be. Both running from mistakes and bad judgements, both trying to make a new life for themselves.  Until they meet in London and end up spending the night together.

"You're trouble."

"You have no idea."

One night is not enough and they start to see more of each other.  Only sex isn't the only thing that is on their mind.  They can't stay away from each other and they can't stop the feelings that take over.

'We blend together; we mesh and create something beautiful and different.
We're in a snow globe that belongs only to us, and I don't dare shake it.
For once in my life, I want it to stay still and quiet.  No flakes.  No storm.  No nothing.
Just Spencer and me.
Just when happiness meets life.'

No Ava Harrison book is easy; nothing worth having ever comes without a good fight.

"You're the best person I know, Olivia.  You have a chance to escape this life.  Don't look back."

Olivia is Lynn's half sister, and of course the gorgeous Carson has to make a debut in this book.  Ava Harrison has stated that there will be further novel in this world, told from the point of view of Grant Lancaster, lets hope whomever he ends up leads him a merry chase and makes the dastardly Grant work for his happily ever after. Clandestine deals with some hard subject matters, there may be issue buttons in this book for some people, so please, be aware now.

I loved Clandestine.  It was edgy and raw.  So many times Olivia made my heart ache and soul cry out.  She thinks so little of herself in so many ways.  She never gives herself a chance to just be.  Running from one thing to another and then running away from that as well.  The girl, only 24, is a true testament to the fact that being young doesn't mean you're inexperienced.  She had so much thrown at her in such a small space of time, and I truly believe that if she had communicated this to those who loved her most some of the wrong decisions/choices she makes would never have been made.

While Ava can write a spectacular sex scene, and there were a few in this book, I'm just not a fan of her storyline. While there are plenty of extra things happening the writing struggles to keep my attention.

Reviewed in Australia on 24 August 2017
This was my first experience with Ava Harrison and it was one I enjoyed.

Clandestine introduces us to Spencer Lancaster, hot, sexy and smart CEO of Lancaster Holdings Inc, the family owned company he took over after his father retired, much to the disgust of his brother Grant. Burned by his ex, he's sworn off relationships and love to lead the 'playboy' lifestyle, but only on the surface, deep down he feels something, lonely. That all changes when he meets the lovely Olivia.
Olivia Miller is a model who no longer fits the right mold. Released from her job and agent she sets out to enjoy life away from the world that caused her nothing but trouble and pain after getting caught up in a crowd who see drugs as the best way to get the thin body. After a night partying with her oldest friend little did she know a chance meeting in a hotel bar would change her life dramatically.
Written from the POV of the 2 main characters we discover that one night wasn't enough for either Spencer or Olivia, but can they both overcome the ghosts from their pasts to have a better view of the future of will the pressure in their lives get in the way.
Ava's writing makes it easy to share in the emotions of the pair as they deal with pasts that have a bad habit of resurfacing to impact the present and possibly the future

Sexy, rich CEO with family issues, meets insecure model Olivia and sparks fly. Both drag along their baggage and we get a journey of self discovery and a HEA. A fast paced, steamy, well written story, my first read by this author... look forward to getting to know Grant and his big family demise.

Bem escrito, enredo coerente, leitura gostosa e cenas de "ação" na medida exata, as quais, em quantidade, são plenamente desnecessárias e que, não raro, descaracterizam o romance, transformado-o em ficção. Recomendo

This was not what I was expecting, and isn't that such a fun surprise from a book. Don't worry, it is all good, and you will like it. All of the important stuff is there; a couple you like, individually and together, the passion, the connection, the happily ever after. But, in a slightly different way than it usually is...which will make sense when you read it.

From the blurb, I was expecting that this would be a Pretty Woman kind of romance, a few illicit (like what I did there?) nights strung together and then a couple of characters figuring out that they wanted more. Well, it was, and it wasn't, this simple.

In a lot of ways, this is exactly what I got, but the order was different than I was expecting, the development of the relationship with Spencer and Olivia was a little faster than I expected it to be at the beginning. And, like Olivia says, this really lets her, Spencer and in my case, the reader, off the stress of "will they work it out before they leave their time together" and lets you focus on the future. It's also a lot of fun to read the books where the hero just loves the heroine. Yeah, there is a some resistance at first, but even from the beginning, Spencer figures out quickly that what he has with Olivia is different, and that he's never had anything like that before.

Isn't that why we read romance? To be there, with the couple, when they realize this person is it for them? That this is the person they are meant to be with? I know this is one of my favorites of the many ways in which a romance evolves.

There are a whole bunch of unresolved issues, and insecurities. Spencer has his past, his former relationship with his ex, his estrangement with his brother Grant (who is getting his own standalone, isn't that the best news???) and his fear of letting anyone close to him that is causing him to push Olivia away...even though he thinks he is keeping that hidden from her. Olivia has her past as well. And, ironically, although you see this coming, I think, it is the girl who seems to have her family all worked out who has some of the biggest issues to face. Because isn't that life? You have it all figured out, all is going to plan, things are moving as they should and then life happens.

I loved the character development in this book. Through some internal, and some external, neither of them are the people at the end that they were at the beginning. Some of it is big, some of it just those small realizations we all have when we realize something we thought was true isn't true, or is no longer true.

There is a scene toward the end (no spoilers I promise) where not only does Olivia react differently than she would have in the past, but she owns it. She knows it. She stops herself from the knee jerk reaction that she would have had in the past...and because she stops it, she is able to move forward with Spencer. Little moments like this, and there are a couple in this book, are what take a book from good to great.

I could go on, in fact many reading this likely think I should have stopped this review a few paragraphs ago, LOL....but let me just say I recommend this book, you want to read it, and I can't wait for the next one by this author!

I like that this book addresses some difficult situations. Olivia wants to be perfect and does what she can to stay relevant as a model. Spencer wants to take his family business to the next level, and will work hard to get there.

Together, they are an unstoppable force. There is a lot of heat in their relationship, but there is some heart as well.

A sweet HEA as they pose to build their dream home.

I really enjoyed this book, I enjoyed the relationship between Spencer and Olivia, even though I wanted to shake both of them at times and tell them to talk to each other!!! I also like that Ava shone a big light onto female insecurities when to the outside world, they appear to be perfect or have the perfect life....doesn't exist...ever.
I am keen to read more about these characters and also the other players in the story.

I WON the opportunity to read Clandestine as an ARC via LJ Shen. Ava Harrison is a new author to me; I knew she'd be great, because great minds stick together. I received my ARC, but, once it became available to buy, halfway through reading, I bought it. I am the reader who buys books that are worth it. This book, is definitely worth it!! The first book in the Expose series, and it's definitely a benchmark in regards to quality. Let's just get the heat out of the way: 5/5. The characters, Spencer and Olivia are both strong, independent, with their own personal issues to deal with, but once together they deal maturely with any issues they face individually and as a couple. The writing wasn't too verbose, it was just enough. There is such a thing as TOO much detail, but Ava did a wonderful job in providing descriptions (places, situations, clothing, actions, intimacy) that allowed me to visualize with ease. I recommend potential readers to read this book, buy this book, and continue with the series; as well as add Ava into the list of writers to follow. She's officially on that list for myself. I look forward to continuing this series, but especially looking forward to reading more Ava Harrison books.
