When eclipse-chaser Azora goes to see a partial eclipse with her friends, she catches the attention of film star and BDSM enthusiast Lorcan and wins a kiss from him. Two months later Lorcan contacts her and asks to meet up, and Azora wonders—what can he want from someone like her?
Azora and Lorcan soon find the heat between them igniting, but Lorcan’s co-stars make one thing clear—Lorcan likes to date “civilians”, discarding them within a few weeks. Azora decides to enjoy the ride—her friends’ animal shelter will benefit from the publicity, and why shouldn’t she have some fun while still seeking the one thing she’s never seen, a total eclipse?
But soon Azora knows the end date is in sight—and yet she no longer is sure she wants it to end. Can Lorcan be truly happy with a civilian, or will Azora see totality alone?

Excerpt from Totality
The starting and stopping seemed to meld together after a while as actors disappeared into characters, scene after scene. And watching Lorcan act, now that she knew what he was aiming for, was a strangely stirring experience.
Lorcan as Stanley was almost animalistic, sensual in the way his hips moved as he walked, in the pure energy that radiated from his skin, in the way he swung Miranda up into his arms and carried her off to bed. She had seen a clip of the famous “Stella!” scene, but watching Lorcan cry out that name, his voice deep and rough, sent a tingle straight to her core.
And watching Miranda portray her character’s unstoppable desire for him felt like looking in a mirror. The memory of his kiss, of the feel of his firm body, made her ache to kiss him again.
Was that really what he wanted? To have her be his latest civilian date?
She didn’t care.
She hadn’t had a boyfriend since before that phone call. Hell, she couldn’t remember properly feeling desire since that call. It had all turned to ashes. Why shouldn’t she enjoy being with an attractive man for a while—whatever his intentions were?
As Lorcan led her to the door, Azora felt him rest his hand on the small of her back. Automatically she leaned into the touch, letting her arm brush against his, and his hand slid lower, cupping her ass. As he opened the door she expected him to move away, just in case there was somebody watching, but Lorcan’s hand stayed where it was and Azora turned to look up at him.
Will he kiss me again?

My Thoughts on Totality
Writing a detailed review of this book without getting into spoiler territory was somewhat challenging. I thought I would highlight a few of the main themes I picked up on while reading Totality (Leading Men #1) by Tanith Davenport.
*Celebrity vs. Normal Life: The novel explores the contrast between fame and an ordinary life, particularly through Azora’s relationship with Lorcan, a film star. The tension between their worlds creates challenges in their romance.
*Passion & Desire: As an erotic romance, the book delves into physical attraction, intimacy, and the exploration of light BDSM elements within a consensual relationship.
*Taking Risks in Love: Azora knows Lorcan’s reputation but still chooses to take a chance, illustrating themes of emotional vulnerability and the excitement (and uncertainty) of falling for someone with a different lifestyle.
*Self-Discovery & Confidence: Azora steps out of her comfort zone through her relationship with Lorcan, gaining confidence in herself and her desires.
*Commitment & Uncertainty: The story examines whether genuine commitment is possible between two people with vastly different lives, keeping the reader engaged in the “will-they-won’t-they” dynamic.
I hope this helps you decide if you want to read this short, sexy novel for yourself. I don’t read a large volume of erotica, but I find Davenport’s spicy books full of interesting concepts. They are never quite what I expect… in a good way!
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.

What is the best investment you ever made in your writing?
Other than the publishing workshop, my membership of the RNA’s New Writers Scheme. They provided very useful feedback on my work.
What is the best money you have ever spent as a writer?
I went to a How To Get Published workshop in London and had my debut novel and pitch letter critiqued. As a direct result, my debut novel was published shortly afterwards. I’d say that was well worth the money.
How long have you been writing?
I’ve been writing all my life, but I started writing for publication at 27.
What do you think is the best way to improve writing skills?
The best advice I got was to read the sort of books you want to write, as it shows you what works, what doesn’t, and which rules you feel comfortable breaking.
