Review: Bared

Bared by Stacey Kennedy
18131911
Description:
In a novel that’s perfect for fans of Fifty Shades of Grey, Stacey Kennedy returns to Club Sin with another wicked and wild tale of submission, seduction, and love.

At Las Vegas’s exclusive Club Sin, Aidan Knight is the Master, unleashing the erotic yearnings of his submissive lovers. But his dominant façade conceals a devastating loss—something he instantly recognizes in his personally trained submissive Cora Adams. Sworn to unearth her secrets, Aidan uses his seductive skills to ignite her wildest desires until Cora yields to the pleasure she can find only with him.

Cora came to the BDSM club to act out her sub-and-dom fantasies without ever revealing the heartbreak that haunts her. But Aidan’s masterful touch is bringing her closer to the edge . . . and deeper into a world of control and surrender. He refuses to allow her to submit to any other man—nor does she want to. It’s a dangerous game they’re playing. For as they give in to passion, they must lay bare their souls for a love that could heal—and free—them both.


My Thoughts:
Yea its book 2! I told you that we didn’t have to wait long for this book. So glad we didn’t!!  This is book 2 in the Club Sin series.

In case you don’t remember from book 1, Cora Adams is Presley’s best friend. They were roommates until Presley met and was later collared by Master Dmitri.  Now Cora finds herself alone again and her feelings harder and harder to keep hidden.

Aidan Knight is one of Club Sin’s Masters. He is a Dom and knows his stuff. However he has secrets that keeps buried deep inside. He never wants anyone to know how he really feels about the loss of his first sub, Lily.

When one night Aidan see’s Cora’s pain he thinks something is wrong with her. What he doesn’t know that HE is the problem. Cora doesn’t know how she can continue to hide from her Dom. She is afraid if he knows the truth it will ruin the best thing she has going for her right now.  However, the more Aidan digs the worse things become between the two of them.


It finally takes a complete collapse of their D/s relationship for things to become clear to either one of them. But is it too late? Well, you won’t know without reading the book!! However I will say that the new characters that appear in this book make you wonder what the next book will be about! Not sure when it comes out either, but I can say this is one series I will continue to read and follow!

Promise Me Always

Promise Me Always by Kari March
18656877
Description:
Blake Bentley had a rough upbringing, never fully believing he was good enough for anything or anyone. After being left with a broken heart by his only girlfriend, Blake swore off relationships for good and turned to the only two things that made him feel sufficient - sex and firefighting. 

Tessa Collins was brought up in the traditional 'perfect' family - loving parents, great sister, and amazing friends. After falling in love with Jared, her life was perfect - until he betrayed her. She has no idea that his betrayal could end up costing her more than just a shattered heart.

Blake and Tessa have been friends since high school. Never wanting to admit their attraction for each other, the two always remained close friends. Now, three years later, Blake and Tessa find themselves being pulled together by a force much greater than friendship. 

Blake and Tessa have promised to be friends forever, but as fate pulls them together, they embark on a roller coaster ride of a lifetime. Will his self doubt and her insecurities keep them apart? Or will they be able to promise each other always? 


My Thoughts:
Sigh. This book reminds me in a way of my own relationship. Sometimes you find that your best friend is even better when they are more than a friend. I loved this book. It was sweet and I just couldn’t put it down!!

Blake Bentley is hot. Of course it helps that he is also a fireman, all those muscles sure don’t hurt anything!  He has only found love once in his life and when his heart is crushed by her he decides that he doesn’t need that in his life anymore.

Tessa Collins is a kind, trusting, loving person. However, sometimes those are not good qualities. When her ex proves to her yet again that he cannot be trusted she falls back on her friends that she has always trusted. One of those friends is Blake.  Even with the betrayal fresh in her mind and heart Tessa can’t help but feel the connection she has always felt around Blake.

When they are pushed together will they finally allow their hearts to take that leap of faith? Will it be enough to protect them both or will the past come back and rip them apart forever? It takes a drastic situation for them both to realize what fate and their friends have been saying all along. Sometimes your best friend is your best lover.


I can’t say again how much I really loved this book. If you have read the With Me in Seattle series by Kristen Proby you will love this book as well. It is part of a series, but is just getting started and doesn’t leave you hanging. I love how the other characters in this book will get their own stories told. I hope we see more of Blake and Tessa in future books!

Review: Ruined

Ruined by Tracy Wolff

Description:
He’s the last man Chloe Girard should love . . . but the first she ever could.
 
Ethan Frost is a visionary, a genius, every woman’s deepest, darkest fantasy—even mine. And, somehow, I am his.
 
He stole into my life like a dream. Turned my reality upside down and made my every desire come true—especially those I never knew I had. He demanded everything I had to give and gave me everything of himself in return.
 
But dreams don’t last forever, and ours is no exception. Because my nightmares are darker, and my wounds deeper, than I could ever reveal. And as much as Ethan wants to protect me, the secrets we we share will only tear us apart.


My Thoughts:
Hello Ethan Frost. Yum. J This is yet another book that is part of a series. Sigh. This one leaves you hanging and wanting more of Mr. Frost, but in an oh so good way.

Chloe Girard just wants to work hard and build up her knowledge working as an intern. She knows you don’t become a good lawyer without putting in lots of groundwork and making a name for yourself.  However on the first day of her internship it all changes over a smoothie. Really a smoothie. How something so simple can turn her world upside down shocks and arouses her.

Ethan Frost doesn’t know how to be anything but successful. No one ever challenges him and if they do, he wins. When Chloe stands her ground with him he can’t help but take notice. For once in his life he actually has to work at getting what he wants and he loves it.

However, as in every good love story there is a past to both of them and it tries to consume them. Chloe finds it in her heart to tell Ethan about what happened to her, but never does Ethan open up to her.  When he suddenly cuts off all contact with her she feels the ground fall from under her. She tries to figure out what went wrong but becomes face to face with her worst nightmare. Will they survive?


Like I said this book leaves you hanging and the next one doesn't come out until sometime in June! Ugh!! I will sooo be reading it when it does!! Loved it!

Review Shredded

Shredded by Tracy Wolff

Description:
In this intense and exhilarating New Adult series debut, a hotshot snowboarder and a rebel with a cause try to let go of the past—and find a future with each other.
 
Twenty-one-year-old professional snowboarder Z Michaels is the bad boy of Park City, Utah. He’s always had his pick of any girl in town—and on the competition circuit. But underneath his cool exterior is a young man in turmoil, trying to take the edge off tragedy by overindulging in sex and shredding the slopes. In fact, Z’s rash behavior is a thinly veiled attempt to blunt his emotional suffering with physical pain.
 
Ophelia Richardson isn’t like any girl Z has ever met. Though she’s from New Orleans, she’s no Southern belle—and she’s not shy about being miserable in frozen, godforsaken Park City. But after nearly dying in the same drag-racing accident that killed her boyfriend, she needs a place to heal, both physically and emotionally. The last thing Ophelia wants right now is a boyfriend—especially one as rich and reckless as Z. But Ophelia soon discovers that he isn’t what he seems. If anything, Z may be even more damaged than she is.
 
Feeling alone in the world, Z and Ophelia find a connection unlike any they’ve ever known. But their tormented pasts pull them in every direction, forcing their relationship into a downhill slide before it even begins—unless they can find the strength in each other to trust, grow, and love again.


My Thoughts:

Well since the Olympics are going on it seemed like the perfect time to read this book. It was awesome! If you are anything like me, you can watch those guys (and gals) on their snowboards and wonder what they are thinking, well in this book you really feel like you get to know 4 of them and begin to understand everything they do to excel at their sport.

Z is your typical manwhore. Different snow bunny each night and never going back for seconds nor does he look back after he is done. However, it is all a cover to hide the damaged hurting man he is inside.

Ophelia is just looking for a fresh start. However she is beginning to think that the freezing temperatures and tons of snow is not the best place to do it. She meets Z while working the Coffee Bar at the resort she works at and he snowboards at. To say it was love at first sight will have you clutching your stomach in laughter.

These two characters are both so messed up that it’s no surprise they understand one another.  It seems that if they can’t help heal one another then there is no hope for either of them.  Ophelia is way more willing to rip the scabs open of her past and share with Z to help heal and encourage their relationship. However all the stupid stuff that Z pulls it’s no wonder she constantly doubts where things are going.

When you reach the end of the book you are wondering if they are ever going to get their stuff together or if they will just end up miserable for the rest of their lives.


I do have to say that I have a love/hate feeling about the end of the book. I love how she wrapped up the relationship of Z and Ophelia but HATE how she just ends it with Ash. Totally broke my heart for him and made me desperate for the next book that doesn’t come out until April 22!!  The last thing I want to mention that bugged me about this book is that you never find out if Z is really his name or if it is short for something else!  LOL  On a final note, it does help to watch those guys do their “turns and twists and stuff” to understand what they are talking about in this book.  Go check this book out for a fun read!

Review: Domino Effect

Domino Effect by Jill Elaine Huges
Description:
Start of Domino series
Peter Rostovich is an enigmatic international artist with ties to the Russian mafia. He manipulates everyone he comes in contract with and nobody can figure him out—not even himself. More than that, he has a taste for bondage, which he infuses into his art.
Virginal Nancy Delaney is an aspiring reporter who tries to crack Peter’s shell. His work is like nothing she’s ever seen—complete with a live sculpture that gets the exhibit shut down by the police.
Peter hates reporters, but Nancy captivates him to the point where he makes her part of his exhibit within seconds of meeting her. He introduces her to the world of BDSM, but his involvement in the criminal underworld puts Nancy in the sights of his fiercest enemy.
Inside Scoop: This is the first part of a trilogy that blends sex, bondage and international thrills into one exciting read, but watch out for the cliffhanger ending. You’ll be hanging on the edge, waiting for book two.

My Thoughts:
Umm...okay. Well this is hard for me to say, but I really didn't enjoy this book. I kept finding myself skimming the pages and then going back to read them to make sure I didn't miss anything. I was more willing to put this book down and do things I should be doing like cleaning, laundry, and so on than I have been in a long time. I really didn't get interested until like the last 5 pages and then it was to be continued in book 2. There is a small part of me that wants to know what happens in book 2, but I'm not sure at this time it is enough for me to read it when it comes out (which I have no idea when that will be).

Overall the book is well written, very detailed, and keeps flowing. I just don't think it was for me. I had trouble believing the dramatic scenes that occured and that didn't help with me not enjoying myself.

Nancy Delaney is a college student just trying to get her foot in the door of her future career in journalism while also keeping up with her college classes and working part time as a waitress.  When she is talked into taking an art review assignment from her roommate she doesn't think it will be a hard job. However, this one small job turns her world upside down and she may never recover from it or survive it.

Peter Rostovich is the artist at the exhibit Nancy is covering. He is a very dark character full of mystery. Somehow Nancy is drawn to him and he to her, but their attraction isn't strong enough to stop outside forces from causing Nancy harm. I do have to say that the exhibit that Peter was showing made my jaw drop. It is unbelievable.

The book ends in a cliff hanger that leaves you wondering what will come of Peter and Nancy. Like I said before I just had trouble with this book keeping my attention. It lacked the caring side between the two characters that I have become used to, even though it wasn't in Peter's character to act that way. The amount of mystery involved in this book can keep your attention, just not mine. I am not sure when book 2 is due to come out or if I will read it, but I am going to put it on my TBR list just in case.

Review: Mad Love

Mad Love by Colet Abedi

Description:
23-year-old aspiring artist Sophie Walker can think of no better place than the exotic paradise of the Maldives to escape the wrath of her controlling parents, the monotony of her boring legal work and her passionless boyfriend. With her two best friends along for the ride and to help her find herself again, Sophie is not prepared for the enigmatic Clayton Sinclair. Clayton comes from another world of privilege that seems like a fantasy to Sophie. Can this man introduce her to the passion & seduction she never realized she was desperately searching for? Sophie quickly becomes ensnared in Clayton's seductive web until a shocking treachery makes her question her judgment and actions...
My Thoughts:
I need to say at the beginning of this review that I was granted an ARC of this book from NetGalley to review. The book doesn't actually release until March 11, 2014.

Sigh. I didn't want this book to end. However when it did I was ready to scream! I will warn you it ends in a cliffhanger and then to make things worse the author teases us by giving us the beginning of the next book. However, she doesn't tell us when it will come out!! Ugh!!I needed more!

I fell in love with all the characters in this book. Sophie is awesome. I love how she just speaks what she is thinking before her brain can stop her. Sometimes it gets her in trouble, but it keeps her honest! I was laughing very hard at some points. The scene with the sharks is hilarious in my opinion!

What can I say about Clayton. He is very dominating, but at times you want to smack him for being stupid! He really forgets (a lot) how new to EVERYTHING Sophie is. Sometimes he would save them both a lot of heartache if he would just tell her what is happening. Of course if he did that then there would be no need for make up sex. LOL  

Erik and Orie are the best friends of Sophie and they make everything in life seem so easy! They are really in love with one another, but they never make Sophie feel like a third wheel or give her grief for things that go on while on the island. They are her rocks when she needs them in both good times and bad. She would be so lost without them.

However in the end even the best of rocks can't help you when your life is turned upside down. I can't believe the author left us hanging in the end and didn't even give a clue as to when the next book will be out. I am so torn up about this! I really want to recommend that you go read this book when it comes out, but I hate that I can't relieve the pain at the end by saying the next book will be out on blah blah date.

Review: The Fireside Inn

The Fireside Inn by Lily Everett

Description:
They're gorgeous, they're rich, they're single, and they're determined to stay that way for life...until they take a trip to Sanctuary Island. Don't miss this unforgettable new novella trilogy about three billionaire bachelors who are about to discover that sometimes you have to let go of the life you planned in order to embrace the life of your dreams.
In the first novella, The Fireside Inn, Lord Leo Stratham seems to have it all. But when he meets Sanctuary Island's quirky young librarian, he's intrigued. Serena is unlike anyone he's ever met before, and he's determined to get to know her a whole lot better. Yet despite the simmering attraction between them, she isn't interested in putting up with a pampered playboy...unless he can convince her to take a chance on him.
My Thoughts:
So once again, this is the start of a 3 book series and I was only given access to the first book to read. I want to read the next two to see how things end up, however even though it says that this is a new series it talks about the series The Billionaire Brothers. That series takes place before this one. So it would have been nice to read that one before this book, but it is not necessary.
Serena is such a sweet character. She is willing to help Leo, but her love of books and everything to do with them shines through. She is a romantic at heart, but has been burned so many times that she finds it difficult to think that anyone would want her.
Leo is secretive, British, and a Billionaire. Everything has always been handed to him, so when he realizes he has to work for something for once in his life he doesn't know what to do. He has a secret that he wants know one to know, but it threatens to destroy him. He doesn't let people into his circle easily and when Serena starts to push her way in he gets scared.
Will Leo learn that true love does not judge or will he keep his walls up and face failing on his own?  I can't tell you but I do suggest you go check this book out for a sweet easy read. If I end up being able to read the rest of this series I will publish reviews for them too. For now they are going on my TBR list that never seems to stop growing!!

Review: Wrecked

Wrecked by Priscilla West

Description:
“There would be no happy ending for us. He was too damaged. I was too broken.”
Two years ago, Lorrie’s mother was murdered. But that wasn’t the end of it. Reeling from the tragedy, Lorrie’s father spiraled into alcohol, depression, and finally suicide.
The two most important people in Lorrie’s life are both gone but she’s still alive.
Trying to recover from the tragedy, Lorrie returns to campus, ready to pick up the pieces of her life. All Lorrie wants is to get back to “normal.”
Then she meets Hunter. The man, the legend, “The Hammer.”
Hunter is a cage fighter who takes on every fight like he’s got nothing to lose. His life is a tangled mess of girls, booze, and fist fights. And while it may seem like he’s got a devil-may-care attitude, he’s fighting a private cage-match with a monster he can’t defeat.
Lorrie knows that Hunter is exactly the type of guy she should stay away from, especially in her fragile state, but Hunter has other ideas.
As Hunter and Lorrie grow closer together, will they be able to overcome their pain and heal each other? Or will they both end up wrecked?
My Thoughts:
Wow. OMG. Pick my jaw up off the floor. I am wrecked. 
Okay, I want to tell you right up front this book ends in a cliffhanger and it sucks!! 
Alright on to the review. In case you didn't know Beautiful Disaster is one of my favorite books. When I read the description and began reading this book I kept thinking back to that book and comparing the two. Finally it smacked me in the face that although these two books are similar in some ways (college kids, boy is a fighter, love story) it is so different!! I fell in love with this story and it totally broke me that I can't finish it until book 2 comes out!
Hunter (must say I love that name, lol) is such a mystery and yet an open book. Even though he puts off the bad boy loner image he has such a kind and soft heart. Rampage is the perfect example of that. I won't tell you what that means, go read the book! :) He is willing to put Lorrie's feelings before his and opens up his very small circle of friends to her. He follows all the rules she puts in place and never pushes until he knows it must be done.
To say that Lorrie has been handed a bag of lemons is an understatement. When Hunter enters her life with a splash it is the beginning of her seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. She tries to forget their chance meeting but soon is face to face with him yet again. After he convinces her to spend some time together she learns that he isn't the same guy she thought he was. Afraid of what will happen if she allows him to get close she builds up walls to protect herself. When on one fateful day those walls come down everything changes. She finally feels like her world is right and life is actually moving forward.
Then her past comes back to haunt her. With a past like hers it is like hitting a brick wall going full speed. She shuts down and Hunter has disappeared as well. These two broken people have no idea the past that their other half have and it is enough to cause them to self destruct. If neither of them can confess what has happened will they ever make it? Even reading this book you will have so many questions that you will be wishing for book 2 like I am!! Believe me, when it comes out I will be getting it as soon as I can!
Book 2 is supposed to be out later this month. I hope it isn't delayed because I sooo need to find out what happens!! If I were you I would wait a week or so to read this so you don't have to wait to find out what happens, but definitely READ THIS BOOK!!

Review: His to Possess #1: The Seduction

His to Possess #1: The Seduction by Opal Carew

Description:
Enter an intoxicating world of power and pleasure—where one woman will submit completely to her fiercest hungers at the hand of a powerful business man.
While attending a job fair, Jessica meets a tall, dark, handsome stranger. Deciding to take a chance, Jessica invites Dane back to her bed for one night of hot, no strings attached sex in a last effort to finally get over her heartbreak. However, when the night's over they find that sometimes a casual fling doesn't end the next morning.
Important note: His to Possess #1: The Seduction is the firstinstallment of a six-part serial novel. His to Possess #2: The Morning After and His to Possess #3: Perfect Storm. The complete book is available which is simply entitled His To Possess.
My Thoughts:
Okay, first of all I have only read the first part of this series. The book I read was really short, like too me less than an hour to read. :) However, now I want to read the rest of the series! I am doomed. Ha ha ha!
Jessica Long is struggling in her life. Having been jobless for 4 months she decides to take a chance and go to the big city of Philadelphia to look for work. With her heart still longing for another man an incident of mistaken identity leads to one of the biggest changes in her life.
Dane Ranier is CEO of Ranier Industries. Although we don't learn much about him in this book he gives off the dark and mysterious vibe from the beginning. He is a dominating man both in and out of the bedroom. Once he sets his sights on Jessica she doesn't stand a chance.
Since this book is part of a 6 part series it does leave you hanging. If I am able to read the rest of the series I will post reviews on them as a whole because there is no way I am going to read them one at a time! I guess just like me you will have to wait and see what happens in the end!

Rating: ©©© (only because there is sooo much I still need to learn in the next 5 parts! I may change this after I have read the entire series.)

Review: Beneath The Surface

Beneath The Surface by M.A. Stacie

Description:
Kyran Reese is a man in control. Driven when it comes to work, focused when it comes to play. From his office to the chalk circle of Metro’s bare-knuckle boxing ring, his only thought is to win. That thirst heightens when Dale Porter enters his life. His brother’s assistant should be off-limits, but her witty comments and sarcastic comebacks have him desperate to get her between the sheets. After receiving an unexpected left hook, Kyran gets exactly what he wants, though he makes the rules very clear.
When Dale agrees to Kyran’s relationship stipulation of no labels, she’s sucked into a whirlwind of lust, money, and underground boxing. The agreement to keep their lust away from the office is discarded when rules are molded to suit their ever-increasing attraction. Dale fights her growing affection, trying to hide it even when the world around them spirals out of control. All too soon she realizes she can’t hide her true feelings any longer.
Kyran begins to wonder if he’s finally met his match, and with his family falling apart before his eyes, he turns to the two things he knows will keep him sane: boxing and Dale. Those crutches can’t last forever, and when Kyran finds it harder to function he is left with a decision he never thought he’d have to make.
Could playing to win mean playing for keeps?

My Thoughts:
Wow. Sometimes you think you have the characters in a book figured out and then you realize you don't! In this book it seems everyone has something going on beneath the surface that they don't want the rest of the world to know about. In the end hiding these facts will cause the world that they have carefully built around themselves to crumble leaving them to pick of the pieces and see if they can continue on or finally face what is causing them problems to begin with.
Kyran Reese has everything in order. He is in control of his company, his emotions, and his life. Then he meets Dale Porter. In one short conversation everything becomes chaos. His is suddenly lost for the first time that he can recall and begins to depend upon fighting more than ever. When things with his brother, Taylor, explode in his face he sees his well built walls crumble. 
Dale Porter is a strong woman but there is even somethings she can't handle. When both Reese brother's begin to cling to her more than ever she reaches a point that even she must walk away from. Walk away isn't quite what she does, she runs. 
Will Kyran finally fight for something other than a stress relief? Will Dale run and never look back? I can't tell you! I don't want to give away the entire story, but this one will leave you at points saying wow I didn't see that coming. 
There is a book 2 to this series, but the author hasn't said when it will be released.  I will tell you that this book does not end in a cliff hanger, but does leave several unanswered questions. I for one want to know what is going on with Taylor at the end! I'm hoping book 2 is about him! :) 
This book will not leave you disappointed. It kept my attention and left me happy in the end. Go check it out!

Review: The Surrender Series (All 3 Books at once)

    
The Surrender Series (Forbidden Surrender, Secret surrender, Beautiful Surrender)

Descriptions:
   Forbidden Surrender
The minute I saw Vincent Sorenson, I knew he was trouble. Billionaire. Bad boy. And dangerously sexy. He was everything I craved, and nothing I needed. 

Unfortunately, I couldn’t just avoid him. The higher ups at my company decided they needed his business, and I was on the team to bring him in. Vincent Sorenson didn’t seem as interested in business as he was in me, but I knew that was a door better left unopened. If I got involved with him, it would only unearth the pain I spent years trying to bury. 

I thought I had it under control, but I seriously underestimated Vincent’s seductive charm and silver-tongue. I would soon find out how delicious it would feel to let myself fall into this forbidden surrender.

   Secret Surrender
"What gives you a thrill Kristen?"
I knew that giving in to Vincent Sorenson was a risk, but it was one I was willing to take. I had hidden my heart for so long and for the first time in a long time, Vincent was close to breaking down the walls.
When a trip to Vincent's exclusive private island revealed the real Vincent underneath the layers of suave nonchalance, I thought we were close to the start of something special.
Just when things were looking up for us, I would discover the one secret that Vincent never intended for me to find.
   Beautiful Surrender
The conclusion to the Surrender Series by Priscilla West.
No one is who they seem to be.
I let Vincent into my heart because he seemed so different from everyone in my conservative world of wealth management. I thought we shared something special, but Vincent has been playing me this entire time.
As our relationship reaches a crisis point, a man from my past returns looking for a second chance. Is my ex really looking for redemption or is his goal something more sinister?
I try my best to hold it all together, until I discover a revelation that will change everything.

My Thoughts:
Okay, so I had to do something different this time. The fact is, I had my hands on all 3 books and couldn't stop to write a review over one when I knew I had the next there waiting for me! Books 1 and 2 leave you hanging and you don't want to wait to read the next!! I really loved this series.  The books keep your attention and make it difficult to want to do anything else! :)
Vincent is your typical Billionaire with more money than he knows what to do with. However, that doesn't cause him to lose sight of the important things in life. By the end of the book you forget how arrogant he was at first and can't help but fall in love with him. He has such a kind heart and will sometimes shock you about how he reacts to events in the story.
Kristen knows it is wrong to like Vincent. She has worked so hard to climb the corporate ladder and can't let charming Vincent ruin it for her.  However, she is beyond surprised that when she requests that they keep their relationship hidden Vincent goes out of his way to honor her wishes. Between jet setting to various tropical paradise locations and trying to get to know one another Kristen isn't sure if the relationship is worth the work. 
When Kristen's past shows up with a bang will their relationship survive or will it go down like a ship in a storm with no hope of saving it.  You have to read all three books to the end and even when it is the final page you will be wishing for just a little more!!

Review: Claimed

                                                                   Claimed by Stacey Kennedy

Description:
Presley Flynn is ripe to experience her secret fantasies . . . and Dmitri Pratt wants nothing more than to fulfill them. Once inside the elite Club Sin in Las Vegas, Presley is nervous but excited—and determined to surrender to her every desire. Dmitri is her Master, and his touch is like fire. With each careful, calculated caress, he unleashes her wildest inhibitions, giving her unimagined pleasure.

Presley is different than the other submissives Dmitri has mastered. The BDSM lifestyle is new to her, and so are the games they play at Club Sin. From the start, Presley stirs emotions in Dmitri far beyond the raw purity between a dom and the perfect sub. For the ecstasy they share goes beyond the dungeon, igniting a passion that claims the very depths of the heart.








My Thoughts:
Okay, so in case you didn't realize it this is a BDSM book and is also Book 1 of a series. Now that we have that out of the way, I can't wait for Book 2! 

Presley is a lost submissive that has finally decided to give in to her desires and give BDSM a chance. After reading about it for quite awhile she thinks she knows exactly how things work and how she will feel. Boy is she ever wrong!!

Dmitri is your typical Dom. Calm, cool, collected, and always in control. When Presley enters into his office and turns his world upside down he isn't sure what is going on.  He has never delt with feelings like these and cannot decide what to do with them.

Together these two are explosive and you never know if it will be too much for either of them to handle. When the pasts come back to cause waves with their futures will they have in in them with such a young relationship to make it through or will the past ruin them for good? 

This book will keep you reading until the final page and then have you screaming that you want more!!! :)  On a good note, Book 2 comes out on February 10th, so not long to wait!!
