Shutter: Volume One: Novella Series Kindle Edition

Book 1 of 3: Shutter

See all formats and editions

I get paid to photograph intimate moments in other peoples’ lives—specifically one man. During the day, I watch while he’s working, and every night I watch him while he’s f***ing. It started as a job but quickly turned into an obsession.

His name is Nikolas Gallo.

I spent years in front of the camera before I escaped. Now I’m behind it and in control of what my shutter captures. The moment I viewed Niko in the lens of my camera I found the escape I’d been searching for. I finally felt connected - whole.

There are two types of celebrity photographers; those that wait for their victim to venture into public to get their pay day; always allowing some small semblance of privacy. Then there are those lurking in the shadows, steadily invading private lives, hunting and searching for the most intimate of shots; that’s what I have become.

My name is Brook Beckham and I found my inner peeping Tom.

Recommended for 18 and above.

***Shutter: Volume One is the first in a novella serial.
This volume is ~22,000 words.

Previously listed under the pen name Eli Chastain. Even though the name has changed the content is still the same.

S.E. Dosher's novella series is composed to 3 Volumes and Volume 1 starts off with a bang. Shutter Volume 1 is a quick and light read because of its fresh perspective and unique premise. I wasn't sure what I was going to get when I requested an ARC copy and I was pleasantly surprised.

We begin with Brook Beckham, super model turned photographer. She gave up everything to be behind the lens and she found the perfect subject - Nikolas Gallo. Brook isn't a paid fashion photographer, or online blogger. She's the paparazzi. She follows Nikolas wherever he goes, sneaking through the shadows to get the perfect shot of him, which she may or may not sell. She's got a little obsession.

Nikolas doesn't seem like a typical celebrity. He seems almost bored with his status. And he seems to have more between his ears. He's trying to make the most of his career and make the transition from being in front of the camera to behind it. His plans seem to be going well until he finds out he's been the subject of some very private and intimate photo sessions.

These two characters had great chemistry for me, and their connection kept me engaged.

S.E. Dosher's Shutter volume 1 is a novella about 22,000 words, but it's worth it. Keep in mind that this is a series and in order to get any satisfaction from the plot and characters, you will have to read the entire series. The characters are hot and sexy with chemistry you can feel. My only criticism is that all three volumes could have been written as one book. But, that's just my personal preference, and I still recommend.

Delightful Treat To Read!!

Just because you stalk someone, and witness countless of repeated occurrences, doesn't mean habits can't change...

Jaded from modeling stealing her sparkle, Brook Beckham was left to lick her wounds behind the lens as opposed to in front of it. And who happens to be her focus? The famous, sought after heartthrob, Nikolas Gallo. She's build a career around him that not only puts food on her table but soothes the hurt left from the past. But one fateful night will force her to realize the the Niko she has build up to be throughout the years behind the lens and the Niko in person, has more depth than can be captured in a picture. Will a night be enough to soothe both their pain?

This was truly a small, tantalizingly scorching treat!

If this is what we are to expect from her now, I am looking forward to a doozie of a novel in the future!

I was not sure what to think when I started this book. I almost gave up on it, but I'm glad that I kept going. We start off with Brook as a high end fashion model at the height of her career, but one day Brook was done and walked away from it all. She went back to what she truly loved to do, be behind the camera not in front of it.

Brook becomes obsessed with Hollywood movie star Niko. She follows him everywhere watches every thing and wishes she was the woman on his lap or on his arms. When Brook gets the chance to be that woman, but it comes with serious consequences. Will Brook take the opportunity and be with the guy she has been fantasizing about or will she walk away from him forever?

This book was a little slow for me it didn't keep my interest as long as I would have hoped. I felt like the characters could have been more developed. I'm hoping that because this book is one of three that we get a little bit more with the other books.

I would rate this book 3 out 5 fangs

I'm really not in to the new serial trend but after reading the first two lines of the synops I changed my mind. And I'm so glad I did. This was a great start, Niko is sexy as... And I love Brook. The tension and chemistry between these two is incredible. And OMG can Eli write some HOT sex scenes. I think I will be stalking her FB page for teasers because September can't come soon enough.

"Head in the clouds, heart on my sleeve - dreamer." Brook

Brook was done with the life...she did not fall in line.
After a career as a model, full of ridiculous costumes and even more ridiculous makeup she'd had enough.

Five years years later...
She watches him, photographs his every move, both intimate & casual. Yet he doesn't know. She has become obsessed in a not so creepy kind of way.
One night being in the right place at a bad time, it puts Brook at the front of Nico's mind.
And that is the last thing she needs because she was trying to be discreet.

Now the photographs and following him around, they just don't feel right any more. Now she gets the chance to have one night wit him, one night that may be the biggest mistake she ever makes.
Her world comes crashing in around her when her secrets are revealed...

*Possible spoiler*
A fantastic read from this author! I felt weird at first because you kind of feel like a stalker/peeping Tom reading this. Thank goodness it's just a book though :) However, you really start to get into this story and how the paparazzi scene and celebrity world collide, especially when you have other factors playing into it like pasts, connections to family, and so forth. I CAN NOT wait for the next installment of this series.
