Being in love?
REALLY loving someone??
Two totally different things…

Aris Collier is a masterful artist but, when it comes to the art of love, she couldn’t be further from her comfort zone…

For Luke and Aris, it’s all fun and games until their work and general differences get in the way. Soon, Aris is falling from cloud nine into the reality of a live-in life with Luke where she’s failing forward almost every day. On the flip side, Aris is thriving in her new career. It’s much easier to navigate and a lot less complicated…especially the synergy she finds with Troy Murphy, her partner-in-art whose mere presence begins to undermine her life with Luke.

As Aris struggles to maintain a practical balance, she learns that loving Luke Donovan is effortless…but maneuvering the nuances of a real relationship? Not so much. It’s a simple truth that she quickly discovers the hard way, forcing Aris to either confront the contradictions within herself or continue to take unnecessary gambles that just may end up costing her the love of her life…

Must Read. I LOVE THIS BOOK

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

I LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK. This is the second book about Aris and it was action packed. So glad there was another book to go a little deeper to explain why Aris is the person she is today. Why she picks the men that come and go in her life. I could not put it down, I read it in one day, I mean I dropped everything and could not put it down. I don't want to give the story away. But let me tell you this book was so true to relationships and life that for a minute I was Aris. Aris is a young lady who's mother passed away when she was a young girl I can't really say that her father raised her, it was more, she just grew up lonely and unloved by her father until recently. She is in a relationship Luke and Luke is a good man he's what we are all looking for in a man, but Aris is happy with him most of the time, but she still needs her me time. There is nothing wrong with me time but, Aris needs me time when she can't handle life and right now life is hard for her and she he is really what she would call crowding and all he is all up in her space and she has no where to go. She's a free spirit and relationships always have to gone wrong for her. So she always waiting to move on. Aris is the love of Luke's life but she doesn't realize it until she almost loses him. Aris is on a love rollercoaster with Luke and she wants to get off, until she realizes that Luke is the best thing that has ever happened to her.

Soo Good!!!!

The Aris Effect is better than Dawn of Aris, for me. In this sequel, we find Aris and Luke in a committed relationship. Aris is trying to figure out how she got here. She knows she loves Luke, but what now. Some of her past shows up and it leaves her feelings out of sorts. She is reconnecting with her father but stumbling along the way. She connects a person from her work circle and things become really complex. Luke realizes that his life is 'brand new" with all the things Aris has brought to it. He determines that things will never be boring.

Their space together gets severely tested because of someone from his past and her new current. Each discovers they have never encountered these difficulties ever. Aris has to learn to put on her "big girl panties" and get it together or run like she always has. Luke has to settle his mind, body and soul to see if maybe he made a mistake.

Luke is not sure he can trust her with all of who he is. Read this sequel to see if they can weather the storm or get lost in the raging winds that surround them.

A great read Ms.Lamar, thank you for giving us more...

If you're looking for a good read, the Aris Effect is a good choice

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 17, 2016

If you're looking for a good read, the Aris Effect is a good choice. I enjoyed the characters and read this book after reading The Dawn of Aris. I think this can serve as a standalone novel though, simply because the book moves forward so there is not a lot of backstory needed. I think that Aris was sometimes immature in her relationship and dealings with Luke and Travis, but she managed to redeem herself in the end.
Luke is the man that loves his woman Aris, and she almost losses him when she can't seem to get herself together. She is still carrying baggage and past hurts from past relationships and family issues. But the love of a good man gives her the strength she needs to get her life on track.
I really enjoy the authors writing style and I do hope to maybe see Aris and Luke show up in some of her later works. They are a couple I would like to know how much more their relationship grows.

Intriguing Continuation of this Series...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 20, 2016

I loved Aris and Luke in “Dawn of Aris”, but I loved them even more in Rae Lamar’s “The Aris Effect”. It truly is amazing how you don’t realize how much someone or something means to you until the reality of losing that person or thing forces you to get your sh*t together quick, fast, and in a hurry. Rae Lamar is quickly becoming one of my writing favs. If you haven’t had a chance to check out her work, sleep on her no longer. She is a talented author that rewards her readers with a dope story with characters that display so much chemistry that you feel like you’re actually a part of the story. I try not to include any spoilers in my reviews, so readers are allowed to experience and enjoy a book.

WONDERFUL FOLLOW UP BOOK!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

This was my first time giving this author a try, I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed book one which was Dawn of Aris, so I had to continue to book two, which I really liked. It almost gave me a book hangover, very close. At some point Aris was working my nerves, because she was not being totally honest with Luke concerning Troy. I also never understood why they didn't have that converstaion of trusting one another and that she never slept with Marcel previously. I enjoyed the dynamics of Luke's family and accepting her and her family. Very good read, I would love to hear more from Luke and Aris.

I loved the way Rae Lamar dealt with Aris' complexity in this book. I loved how when Aris found out why she was the way that she was, she acknowledged it and dealt with it. She refused to have any more distractions. In my opinion, this made Aris an even more lovable character because she chose to move forward and continue to be true to herself, but she was also willing to work on being her best self for her and for Luke. This series was amazing and I'm looking forward to reading other stories by this author!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 5, 2016

Aris and all her fickleness made me want to shake her a couple times, but she finally got her act together in the nick of time. Luke was well within his rights to want to walk away, but love is a hard thing to walk away from.

Both Luke and Aris made some mistakes, but I think most of them were on her. The background story of her being an artist makes her quirkiness understandable but exasperating at the same time. I rode the roller coaster that is Aris right along with Luke, but I'm glad he stayed on when I was ready to jump off and shake her silly. Very good book Rae Lamar...can't wait for the next one.

Good start....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

I liked how this book began and enjoyed the story until about three quarters through the book. This book could have benefited from better editing because there are quite a few mistakes which I found distracting. The author sometimes switched from 1st person to 3rd person. There are several grammar errors, and I felt a bit lost once or twice when I was reading some sentences.
This story had real potential and captured the challenges that new couples face when moving in with each other and with the added factor of how Luke and Aris got together in the first place. I did feel like there were bits missing that could have made for even better reading. Like Aris confronting Troy after what he told Luke. Luke and Aris just seemed to be all lovey dovey again too soon after Troy's revelation that was a bit unrealistic for me.
Still worth a read if you've read Dawn of Aris and want to read their journey. I went through several emotions when reading this, and lost count of how many times I wanted to jump in the book and slap the stupid out of Aris.
A tip for the author would be to describe the characters. The only person I had an image of was Jessica that was only because of the comparison to Tracey Edmonds

So Good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

I picked up a copy of this book after seeing really favorable reviews by two of my favorite authors (Nia Forrester and Jacinta Howard). I hadn't read the first book in the series, The Dawn of Aris, prior to starting this one (although I did read it immediately after finishing The Aris Effect). In the Dawn of Aris, Aris begins a friendship with her neighbor Luke, and, over time, their relationship progresses into something...complicated. In The Aris Efect, Aris and Luke are now a bonafide, committed couple trying to blend their lives and navigate permanence. I'm a sucker for books that focus upon already established couples, so I appreciated Aris and Luke's story. Their story is not without complications, but, through it all, their dedication and love for each other are certain. Both characters endeared themselves to me; I found them both complex. Luke was such an incredibly caring and supportive partner, and Aris loved him just as deeply. I was shocked by Aris's level of self-awareness; I haven't found many characters that are so in tune with their emotions. Also, I must admit that I was a fan of Troy's, and, I would love to see an update on him sometime in the future. The dialogue is really, really good. It's fresh and vibrant. This is a definite must read; I highly recommend it. You'll get a better understanding of Aris and Luke's relationship if you read the first book, The Dawn of Aris. I read book one after completing book two, and I didn't enjoy either novel any less.
