This is the third book in this series by this author. This is such an intense story which will keep you hooked till the very end. I absolutely loved the story, it was sweet but also had the BDSM aspect to it. This author definitely knows how to mix the sweet with the raunchy in this story. This book can be read as a stand alone read or as part of the series. I really enjoyed the characters they were really well developed. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

Anne Rice has a beautiful way with words. This is definitely a BDSM novel. It deals with submission, domination, bondage, masochism etc.

If you're looking for a novel along the lines of "Fifty Shades" you may not want to read this. I say that because "Fifty Shades" eases you into the idea, this book smacks you in the face with it.

This was a fascinating book. I found myself horrified and curious while reading this book. It forces you to look at society. I found myself enthralled with this novel. I couldn't help but read this book with a psychological approach. It was truly entertaining and fascinating.

DNF@18%

As mentioned in my previous updates, I didn't realise when I downloaded this back in 2012/13 that it was BDSM, or I wouldn't have bothered. It's not something I particularly enjoy reading about unless it's heavy on the romance at the same time and Mr Cavendish had already told her multiple times by the 18% mark that he wasn't interested in a relationship, which isn't good in my view. I figure he's likely to change his mind a little further in but I'm already struggling to like him so, you know...and then sex scenes? Nah. Wasn't going how I expected so I give up.

Having been a mahoosive fan of Celeste Prater's Fueled by Lust series, I had a few trepidations about reading this one. For starters, the BDSM scene isn't really my thing, and the few books I have read involving it didn't do anything for me at all. BUT!!! being as how I loved her Sci-Fi, I thought I would give it a go... and I'm glad I did!

Whether or not it rings true doesn't matter to me. What matters is that I found it completely believable within the constraints of the story. The definition of 'Three Divisions' made so much sense, and it made a nice change to have it spelt out in a way that was understandable without being condescending. It actually gave me the warm fuzzies to think that there is someone out there who would be able to take control but also put someone else's needs above their own. I absolutely loved how Leo took care of Jillian, in all ways! The humour was witty and well-timed. I really enjoyed watching Jillian grow, both in the playroom and out. Her put down of Brent was fantastic and I was giving her a high-five at the time!

The suspense side of it was exceedingly well-written, with surprises coming left, right and centre. You knew something was up with the amount of 'air time' that Jillian's client got, but the actual outcome, I didn't see coming. Jillian's handling of said event, and the aftermath, were superb - cool, calm and collected.

Hopefully, without giving anything away, I loved the wrap-up to this book. Everything was as it should be, and I am very much looking forward to the next book in this series. For not liking BDSM books, to giving this one a 5-star and feeling the fuzzies, I can highly recommend it to anyone considering reading about BDSM, or who just wants a steamy, sexy, suspenseful, romantic read. LOVED IT!

4.5 stars.

In a way this reminded me of The Dark Duet series only minus the BDSM stuff and with more killing.

I wasn't really sure what to expect when I started this, I just knew it was by an author I like and so, I was therefore likely to enjoy this too, and I did.

It focused more on the assassin, Victor, and how he went from being a rather emotionless killer but seeing it all happen from Sarai's POV. It was different to a lot of the other stuff I read an I really liked it.

I need Reviving Izabel soon so I can find out what's going to happen in the future between these two.
