Katrina doesn’t mix business and pleasure. Period. Things get too complicated. Besides that, she’s not looking for a relationship. Yet she can’t stop desiring Clash and Claw’s new bouncer, the sexy Elven prince dressed in black leather, with tattoos and piercings.

Braydon wants Katrina and isn’t taking no for an answer. He’ll do whatever it takes to get her right where she belongs — with him — and he’s got a few naughty tricks up his sleeve to get his way.

This latest episode of the Dragon Kin series ventures from the original premise of Dragons finding mates. But Selena Illyria manages to include the Dragon Lord, and the world these books are set in, with great success. The characters are likable and complex, and the story is multi-faceted, both serious and yet with lots of fun and hot and heavy sex.

Braydon works as a bouncer at Clash and Claw. What makes it unusual is not the occupation itself, but who Braydon is. A sexy Elven prince dressed in black leather, with tattoos and piercings, he has a double agenda. Since the day he saw her, he has wanted Katrina, a former Bound Human, freed by her Dragon Lord. All the signs seem to indicate she shares the attraction, but something is holding her back. But until Braydon completes an assignment to retrieve a gem given to Katrina by Ulfric, her Dragon Lord, he can’t pursue her as he wishes. Nitroglycerin works by increasing nitric oxide and helps with angina by opening up the arteries that supply the heart with oxygen. levitra for sale Do not take the medicine partially or break, crush or mash the generic viagra australia pills.

Can a rebel Elven prince and a former Bound Human with trust issues get past it all? Can Braydon convince Katrina he is in this for the long haul, or will she run?

Katrina is a strong character, but very insecure. She is attracted to Braydon, but afraid to act on it. Four years after being freed, she is still worried that her former master will call her back. She feels that everyone leaves, and she believes Bray will too, eventually. I like watching her spirit and her growth, as she starts to realize she might have a future with Bray after all.

Braydon has never been one to follow the Elven Prince image; he’s pierced and tattooed and totally the bad boy. He realizes he has a tough job, convincing Katrina he is going to stay around. He is a bit possessive and territorial where she is concerned, but he knows they can be good together.

The scenes between Katrina and Bray are sizzling hot, and the weekend they spend together will change both of their lives forever. But the trust issues that Katrina has will be stretched when Bray has to complete his assignment and leave her for a short while. I hope that Ms. Illyria will revisit this couple and complete the happy ever after these two deserve. For now I will accept the happy for now, with Bray’s promise to Katrina.

What better way to exorcise an ex than by burning all his stuff in the kitchen sink using his favorite whisky as fuel? Um…yeah, until your kitchen drapes catch fire.

Turns out they send a handsome fireman with a huge chip on his shoulder to deal with that. The last thing Melissa Valley needs is another complication in her world, but there he is—Jackson Goodman—larger than life, hotter than hell. Coming off a bad six-year marriage and resentful of the fact that he’s attracted to her. Logical much?

Fate has plans, it seems. Like it or not, what Jackson and Mel feel for each other might burn hotter than any fire either of them has ever seen. If they let it.

When things get hot, what could possibly be better than a gorgeous fireman to douse the flames? When Mel returns home from a business trip and discovers she’s been left a goodbye letter from her now ex-boyfriend, she decides it’s time to remove any trace of his existence. Burning the things he left behind sounds like a wonderful idea. What she doesn’t count on is the blazing fire in her apartment that occurs as a consequence. Fortunately, help arrives in the form of Jackson, a firefighter who is as crass as he is luscious. Their attraction is undeniable, but both are coming out of bad relationships. A future together is out of the question. Or is it?

Sommer Marsden’s I’m On Fire is a delicious novella that sizzles. I enjoyed the witty banter between Mel and Jackson, as well as the histories that threaten to keep them apart. The documentary, for panda enthusiasts, can be cheapest price on tadalafil found on the BBC website. Physicians are already recommending prescribed drugs such as sildenafil and it could react in a negative way and create problems for them in rectifying their disorders. appalachianmagazine.com best prices on sildenafil Both these type of viagra no rx a male perform good during sexual experience.

They are combination of fire and ice. Just when you think things are going to go smoothly, the past comes between them. Mel is relatable as a woman who has had her heart broken, while Jackson provides the emotional angst of the story. It’s obvious they want each other, but time doesn’t necessarily heal all wounds. It takes a series of unfortunate events to bring them together time and again, until they have no choice but to face what is happening between them.

The dialogue is brilliant, and I found myself laughing out loud on more than one occasion, especially when Mel’s best friend decides to play matchmaker. My only complaint would be that I would have enjoyed the story a bit longer, as things are wrapped up rather quickly. However, I did love the story, as well as the characters Ms. Marsden brought to life. The chemistry between Mel and Jackson is electric, and their love scenes are burn-your-fingers hot.

Fans of contemporary romances with a bit of humor, emotion, and complication will absolutely love I’m On Fire. This is the first story I’ve enjoyed by Ms. Marsden but it certainly won’t be the last.

Supernaturally sensual and captivating, Dream Lover is a feast of fanciful delights. Kristina Wright, editor of the popular Fairy Tale Lust presents a potent potion of fun and sexy tales filled with male fairies and clairvoyant scientists, as well as darkly erotic tales of ghosts, shapeshifters and possession. Dream Lover asks the reader to explore the realm of the otherworldly and answer the question… who is your dream lover?

What’s your darkest desire? Your most secret fantasy lover? A vampire? A ghost? Or something more? Whatever it is that lurks deep within your heart, you’re sure to find it within the pages of Dark Lover, an anthology of fun and exciting, as well as seriously sexy stories of the paranormal kind.

Love Resurrection by Justine Elyot leads off the series with a charming yet steamy ghost story. Freya is bound and determined to get long-dead poet Lucien Mountfichet’s name known to the world at large. What she doesn’t realize is just how that’s about to happen. This is one of the more creative ghost stories I’ve read, with an unexpected sort of happy ending.

Dreaming by the Sea by Delilah Devlin is a refreshing twist on the mermaid theme. Fraught with emotional tension and erotic love scenes, Ms. Devlin manages to develop two unique characters in just a few pages, ensuring that you’ll devour this short story in one sitting.

Devil’s Food by Shanna Germain is a lighthearted and yet sexy romp in a bakery that goes by the name of Devil’s Food. When pastry chef Lire meets Fey hunk Thadeus, more than just sparks fly. Due to the fun nature of this story, all the sugar, and the hot love between the two, Devil’s Food was one of my favorite stories in this collection. Sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.

Rainmaker by A. D. R. Forte was a fascinating story that reminds me of a spiced up version of an old wives’ tale or myth from the past. Faith is full of repressed magic, and if she’s to bring relief to the parched, dry land around her, she’s going to have to step outside her comfort zone to release it. David is there to help her do just that, like it or not.

Shattered Belle by Craig J. Sorensen had me a bit confused at the beginning, however, it all comes together with quite a bang at the end. Belle is bound and determined to ensure the sanctity of her precious church while the stranger is set on only completing his task. By the end, you’ll find yourself nodding and saying, “Ahh, yes, I thought so!” and squealing with glee. A wonderfully woven story that will have you sighing with pleasure and constantly second-guessing yourself.

Living off Lovers by Kristina Lloyd is one of the more intense stories in this anthology. Desperate to reunite two long-lost lovers, Rachel and Merrick must come together in a very intimate way. Driven in a way neither understands, they find one another and simply explode with passion. Sexy, sultry, and amazing, all wrapped into one short story.

Where the Heart Is by Saskia Walker is chock-full of paranormal elements to both tease and entice the reader. Rhiannon is nothing close to what she appears and Edgar is so much more. About halfway through this one, I thought I’d missed the boat on what was happening. However, just before the end it all comes together beautifully, giving you more than just a little satisfaction.

Freeing the Demon by Sacchi Green is my kind of story! I love nothing better than when a battered or otherwise abused woman gets her revenge on the man who has done her wrong. Jayne gets her revenge and so much more. When she discovers a trapped demon in the gargoyle outside her building, her fate is changed forever and for the better. This was a very refreshing twist on revenge, and I enjoyed it tremendously.

Old-Fashioned Glamour by Nikki Magennis is a wonderfully magical take on the idea of ‘who says you can’t go home?’ Returning home after too many years away, Amy tries to move amongst the villagers in a nearly invisible haze of magic, until Scott sees right through her glamour. The faith that love endures powers this little short, bringing back together a love that was always meant to be.

Moongirl Meets the Wolfman by Alana Noel Voth is a very different sort of story. Three cloves of garlic boiled with milk taken every day at night cures productive buy cialis on line cough and bronchitis. 7. 10 drops of garlic juice with 2 teaspoon of honey reduces the acuteness of asthmatic symptoms. Super Kamagra has buy viagra without consultation serotonin sustaining effects and widens the blood vessels and augment the blood flow to the male organ.

Told in the style of an adult fairy tale, you’re introduced to The Woman on the night she meets Hayden and taken on an exciting ride through their time together. This wasn’t one of my favorite stories as it was a bit odd and often somewhat disjointed. However, it is an excellent example of two forces working against one another – one half of the couple is fighting the wolf within while the other embraces it – to eventually find a way to work together in the end.

Vanilla by Victoria Janssen is a cute little story combining a scientist who likes to bake with a telepath. And this combination makes for a very sweet, very sexy result. I always enjoy when cooking and/or baking is added into a story and this was no exception. The lacing of the scent of vanilla throughout the whole story just adds flavor to an already tasty encounter.

For Humans, Love’s All About Weight by Lana Fox is that kind of story that makes you feel good, that renews your hope for the world. Hattie was betrayed by her lover and her neighbors. However, when a mysterious bird with human eyes is brought into her home, she follows her heart and ignores the instructions left to her… bringing her the joy she’s always deserved. A lovely short story that will have you smiling before the end.

Succubus Comes Home by Lucy Felthouse is one of those stories that makes you laugh at it’s little twist of fate. What happens when a succubus and incubus come together as one? Well, only time will tell, but I can assure you, it’s going to be explosive for sure! An added bonus for me was that the theme of this story was finding love with your best friend, the one you overlooked but always knew was there. This is extra special to my heart because that’s where I found my truest love.

Folly by Kate Pearce is a unique sort of story. It’s not often you find a man trapped in stone, anchored to an abandoned and ultimately condemned building. Rose was discarded by her boyfriend without a second thought, left alone, with nowhere to go. Until she stumbles upon Camalus… literally. I love when stories take a bit of the old world and mix it into a fresh, contemporary setting and Ms. Pearce does just that. You get just a taste of the old Celtic myths mixed into a world that is familiar and yet still new.

Lust as Old as Us by Madeline Moore starts out seemingly as your typical vampire meets young girl story. However, it takes an unexpected turn and leaves you thinking, “What? Why did that just happen?” I really loved this story for that very reason – it leaves you wondering just where the author is going to go next since she’s already done the unthinkable. The ending wasn’t quite what I expected, either, and really made it complete for me.

The Eye of the Pearl by Ericka Hiatt is a good old-fashioned fantasy with an erotic twist. An elf warrior has made a deal with a demon and sees no way out. That is, until Lele, the human he’s abducted from the mortal realm discovers a way. A scortching hot little story that reminds you that love will find a way to conquer all… even when the obstacle is a demon.

Thief of Dreams by Kristina Wright is the final story in this anthology and is a fitting end to a collection called Dream Lover. Victor is a fallen angel, surviving solely on the dreams of his beloved, Michelle. His mistake leads to not just his own redemption, but also to the revitalization of Michelle, who had been lost and lonely before he came and stole her dreams. A great story about love against all odds and the saving power of love. Also a wonderful end to a great group of stories.

From mermaids to succubi to vampires, the Dream Lover anthology has it all. Stuffed full of authors both new and familiar to me, I found something to satisfy every mood I might have, as well as every mystical creature I’ve ever thought about imagining. I loved how the stories all had a similar thread running through them, but were all different enough to stand out on their own. Each will grab your attention and draw you into its own world for a moment or two before returning you home again. If you’re a lover of the exotic, erotic, and extraordinary, then this is by far the anthology for you.

To break this curse, they’ll have to turn the heat up. Way up.

Jasmine Dante prowls Key West’s nightlife, fighting a losing battle against a jealous rival’s curse that forces her to seek carnal pleasure, no matter the danger. Weakened from lack of sleep, driven by insatiable lust, she spots a man who stirs her desperate craving, and begins yet another dance of seduction.

Except the dark stranger who returns her direct stare is no ordinary lover. Inside his powerful body lies a raw sexuality that just might be enough to break her curse. There’s only one way to find out: imprison him in her bed and feed on his passion.

Former U.S. Marshal Mike Stearn is many things, but he’s no woman’s sex slave. The deadly telekinetic power he ruthlessly suppresses comes alive again at Jasmine’s touch. Beneath her bold, potent sensuality he senses vulnerability and desperation. He may be in handcuffs, but she’s the one who’s enslaved.

As Mike resurrects his power to free himself so he can find the curse’s source and defeat it, Jasmine revels in his masterful rule. Her ravenous yearning evolves into rapture as she surrenders to his hunger, her darkest needs—and the emotional connection that lies beyond. Unless the curse takes her life first…

As an avid reader of author Tina Donahue, I have come to love her attention to detail which give her readers a skillful visual description through the written word. These free flowing, well-written details are what make her books worth reading and make you feel like you are a fly on the wall watching the plot play out.

I have to say, there is nothing like a man with a Harley to jump-start a woman’s heart, especially if that man is tall, dark, and handsome. Pain can take place in different zones of our body – muscles, tissues, joints, ligaments, etc – and visualizing the actual structure of the affected area may be felt as a lump under the surface of the skin, pain in lower abdomen and many others. purchase viagra without prescription In short, you cannot see, hear or pick up any intense activity especially the ones that include cardiovascular endurance. discount cialis no prescription Treatment may possibly consist of medication, hypnosis or surgery. * Lymphoma, cancer belonging to the lymphocytes, may perhaps create nights online levitra prescription sweats as one particular of its conceivable symptoms. * Medications can react with the body’s natural chemistry, occasionally causing night time sweats.

When Jasmine Dante is cursed by a jealous rival, she has to find a man to help her through the yearning without putting herself in any more danger. She knows very little about former US Marshal Mike Stearn except he oozes raw sexuality and seems like a nice man.

Knowing that this is the first paranormal story Ms. Donahue has written, I wanted to read it to see if it was as good as her other books. It was.

There are very few authors that I know of that can write in such descriptive detail without losing the flow of the plot or going overboard and becoming boring. I am still wondering about the erotic effects of tugging the hair peeking from beneath a man’s arms but, hey it worked for them! One thing you cannot help do is laugh when you read how a woman teases a man to the point of no return, or when a man says he has to have his condoms custom made. Ms. Donahue has a way of phrasing things that will keep you chuckling through out the book. However, she also keeps you on your toes while trying to guess what’s going to happen next.

I couldn’t close this book until the end! However, The Yearning is not a quick read so you may miss some sleep (like I did). I do love how Ms. Donahue twisted a tale of a witch’s curse, a man with telekinesis, two sisters, a frying pan, and handcuffs into a hot love story. My friends are going to love this book and I hope to see more paranormal themes from Ms. Donahue as she did a wonderful job on this one.

Simon is the lead hunter of the pack and most trusted confidant and advisor to the Alpha. He’s also one of the most feared wolves in pack history, and no one has ever known his equal. Now he must hunt the most powerful enemy he’s ever encountered before she destroys the one most precious to him.

Adopted daughter of the Alpha, Sasha is a powerful shifter in her own right. She’s only now coming into her heritage as a witch, but her power rivals that of Simon’s prey, Deloris. She knows Simon’s hunt is important to the pack, but never suspects it might all be a trap to draw her into Deloris’s deceitful web of malice.

A wolf shifter and a cat shifter not only getting along but having to fight for their lives and love made for an exciting tale that kept me riveted with fascination.

Sasha is an improbability. I realized that this is a series after I started reading it and I never felt left out or lost in the story, however, Sasha was a surprise. Her character’s existence is unique, intriguing and very interesting. I think she’s a magical creature and as such, I could accept her role and importance to the story. Of course that is a good thing because I thought she was the perfect counterpoint to Simon as she is as strong and willful as he is. I liked how she knew her own mind and what she wanted. Even though Simon is classified as a hunter, in this story he was Sasha’s prey and he didn’t stand a chance — which I thought was a lot of fun. I liked how the author wrote her character.

Simon is a man torn between duty, friendship and intense mating needs. He is so conflicted that it was fun to sit back and watch him fall. He’s a strong man and one a person can depend on but he just can’t seem to say ‘no’ to Sasha. It effectively works to get back the particular sexual joy within their living.Penegra 100mg is often a type of viagra uk buy exposed throughout help the folks experiencing erection issues.

Of course, from Sasha’s internal dialogue a reader will find out why it’s hard for Simon to resist her. It seems guys in love are the last to know and I found it hysterically funny when I found who else knew he was the right guy. Sometimes I think men need to communicate a bit better with less shades of gray and expectations of ESP from the people around them. Then again, miscommunication or lack thereof would deprive me of some entertaining conundrums that heroes and heroines have to muddle through. This story is no different and was better for it.

I have to mention a few editing blips that editors missed but by no means did it detract from the story. Sure it hiccupped and I noticed so I have to mention it. They were the only things that prevented this book from being perfect.

The external conflict sounded like a dangling thread from a previous event. I’m glad I got to see the action and I enjoyed the drama and suspense of it. The confrontation also showcased Sasha and Simon’s mutual talents and I had a great time reading the whole scene because the author did such a wonderful job of describing the altercation and bringing it to life.

Shifter’s Coven: Hunter is an exciting and page-turning romance filled with gripping action and emotions from the heart. When Sasha and Simon are finally free to express their desires and the deepest needs of their hearts, it’s passionate, explosive and really hot. I was thoroughly engrossed in the story and rooted for their happily ever after. I am a very satisfied romance reader.

I really liked these two characters. I felt their pain and experienced along with them the joy of finding one another again. This is a sexy story that isn’t just one love scene after another one but actually has a plot that intrigues you and makes you cheer for Avery and Mason. Even the setting in a cabin in the Canadian woods added suspense and sensuality to the story.

This isn’t a long story and can be read in an hour or so. Pacing is perfect so the time flies by. I highly recommend Burn for Me.

Mick Charles has no idea what he’s getting himself into when he one day follows a sexy blue-haired man he saw at the market. Shy and embarrassed when he’s caught red-handed watching the man in a small café, Mick doubted he’d ever see him again…but he was wrong.

Ivan Gregori is a vampire used to looking out for danger and anything that can be interpreted as suspicious. So when Mick Charles starts following him, what’s a vampire to do?

Misunderstandings create havoc as Mick is drawn into a feud between Ivan and an old foe… but will these misunderstandings be what draw the two unlikely men towards each other and a future together?

Mick is a lonely, shy, relatively small-statured guy who finds himself in the wrong place, wrong time when he tails good-looking Ivan into a coffee shop. What follows is mistaken identity, followed by Ivan first threatening and later falling for, saving, and eventually turning Mick into a vampire to preserve his life and guarantee a soul connection with Ivan. This story was a nice twist on the typical vampire genre. The author throws in some good new elements, including a serum that allows these vampires to go out in the sunlight and the ability to heal and vanish all puncture wounds after feeding.

Ivan’s cousin, Kiven, is a strong minor character here who helps Ivan out of more than one dangerous situation. Mick and Ivan, as well, are a good pairing and seem drawn to each other from the first moment of their meeting, despite their complete opposition in manner and appearance. The sex scenes are explicit and well written, leaving no question as to the lustful attraction between them. However, I did feel that there wasn’t enough character motivation for Ivan to immediately want to mate with Mick, other than the fact that they were “destined” to be together. I also questioned some of the external conflict that occured later in the story. Ivan must face down an old foe, a dangerous gang of humans/non-vampires, but it’s not entirely clear why the gang has any power over the vampires, since the vampires have strength and mental abilities that far outweigh the thugs.

Beyond these few plot and character issues, I found When Blood Beckons to be a satisfying story, especially if you’re a lover of all things paranormal. Read and enjoy!

Carson is definitely flawed but the story does a very good job of showing how he came to be the way he is. He was taught how to lure and catch men from a young age and even his mother counsels him to stay with rich men, regardless of the love.

The main tension in the story is Carson’s struggle. He has some very real bills he can’t afford on his current salary and he loves the Burlesque atmosphere. This is presented with vivid details and really comes alive with both the glory and slightly seedy aspects. Carson is both strong and weak simultaneously and presents a very compelling narrator, one you can’t help root for even when he does some pretty selfish things. Eddie is less important as he is more the catalyst for Carson to change and the object of affection rather than his own complex character. I wish there had been more to Eddie and I did walk way feeling disappointed with his character. However Carson is so fascinating that Eddie’s simplicity nicely rounds out the partnership.

The story is technically a gay-for-you theme since Eddie has never entertained thoughts about men before Carson. Yet with the focus on Carson and his semi-transformation from schemer into responsible adult, the GFY idea is very minor. Instead this is Carson’s redemption and path to true love, a rather romantic and sexy one at that. Fans of the author definitely won’t want to miss this. For those new to Mykles this is a good introduction to her great writing and hot men.

Her job is to make his life miserable. His job is to make her submit. Whose heart will surrender first?

Across the country, rebellious BDSM submissives are being systematically kidnapped, one from each club. When her friend falls prey to the slavers, FBI victim specialist Gabrielle volunteers to be bait in a club not yet hit: the Shadowlands.

She finds that being a bratty sub comes naturally, especially when she gets to twit the appallingly conservative Master of the trainees. But she soon discovers he’s not as stuffy as she’d thought. Or as mean. She’d expected punishment, even humiliation, but she sure never expected to fall in love with a damned lawyer.

Courtesy of a prima donna ex-wife, Marcus loathes disobedient submissives. When the club owner insists he admit an incredibly bratty trainee, he’s furious. But as he comes to know Gabrielle and sees the alluring sweetness beneath the sass, he starts to fall for her.

Unfortunately, Marcus isn’t the only one who believes the feisty redhead is a prize worth capturing. And in the world of the slaver, such treasure is worth a hefty fee.

How far would you go to save a friend? Would you go undercover in a BDSM club? That’s just what Gabrielle does. She finds out one of her old friends may have been sold into human slavery and looks for a way she can help. What she doesn’t count on is her reaction to Master Marcus. Yet all he sees is a bratty sub and Gabrielle knows she doesn’t stand a chance with the gorgeous Dom.

I always know that any book by Cherise Sinclair is going to be good and this book does not disappoint. With characters full of depth and emotion I was once again pulled into the world of the Masters of the Shadowlands. Master Marcus is not only a great Dom and trainer he is a wonderful man who loves with all his heart. He is more than willing to fight for those that he loves.

Gabrielle is stronger than she looks. She is a fighter and no matter what life throws at her she keeps picking herself up. Right from the start the sparks fly between the two. Both fight their feelings and must find peace with their pasts before moving forward with each other. Gabrielle blossoms under Marcus’s love and when she finally opens up to Marcus he shows her what it means to him.

I loved the bond that each of the Masters of the club and their subs have, including Gabrielle and Marcus. They may enjoy their fun a little differently, but the love that they feel for each other always shines through in everything that they do. Even through the threats and the deceit of another jealous sub, Marcus and Gabrielle’s love never wavers. They may have their ups and downs but Marcus never gives up on Gabrielle and her love.

Make Me, Sir was a gripping story that kept me entertained all the way through to the end. I cannot wait to visit the Shadowland club again to see whose story is next.

Taking care of business…

Barracudas in Prada. Stuffy board rooms. Raith Aldan is beyond tired of it all and ready to sell out and move on to something less stressful and much more…interesting. Something that suits his dominant male traits, like a BDSM club in Tahoe.

If they do, you need cialis soft canada to bring it to the notice of the doctor and discontinuing the medicine. This may sound harmless since there is always a delete button; however, the problem is that the number of mails discount pfizer viagra that some individuals can get in the space of a room. The then makes a prescription for the disease. viagra on line pharmacy raindogscine.com He’s only spoken to his new realtor on the phone, but she isn’t the usual bend-over-backwards-to-please-him type. She’s a woman who can stand up for herself yet submit to his command—a heady combination.

Alexandra Aimon is intrigued with the man who persists in calling her day after day in his quest for property. Something about him, his voice, the way he speaks as if he has very specific expectations, excites her.

Meeting face to face does much more than ignite sparks for the two of them, but there’s a problem. She doesn’t mix business and pleasure, even if temptation comes with handcuffs, collars and floggers.

Raith sees only one solution—wrap up the deal as soon as possible. Then wrap his former realtor in leather. Except he never expected to be the one falling fast and hard…

This wasn’t your typical erotic romance story. Raith wants to open a BDSM club in Tahoe and has acquired Alexandra to find a suitable property for him. The road to love for Raith and Alexandra is an unconventional one. Alex doesn’t believe in getting involved with a man she’s working for and this time that man happens to be one who intrigues her and leaves her feeling a bit uneasy. The author does a top notch job of making Raith come across that way. Sometimes you’re not sure about him, other times, especially when you’re in his POV; you begin to think he has feelings for Alexandra other than wanting her for just sex.

As the story unfolds you can tell that Alexandra is going to give in to curiosity and enter a relationship with Raith who she knows enjoys BDSM. The question is will she like it too? Although this story touches upon BDSM all the scenes are written in a very sensual way. I kept wondering if these two people would end up together as Raith sometimes came across as slightly self-serving. And as I liked Alexandra’s character, a couple of times I thought maybe she deserved better. However, as the story moved toward its conclusion, I felt more comfortable about Alexandra’s choice. It seemed Raith’s motives and heart was in the right place.

If you’re looking to read your first BDSM romance story this is probably a good pick and it’s a fast read too.
