I love this author and the more I read the better the books get, you are always guaranteed a fab story. This book has plenty of hot steamy scenes to keep you reading long into the night. This is a second chance romance story with added BDSM. The characters are fab and very well written. This book can be read as a stand alone or as part of the series. The story has a bit of a thrill factor to it, mixed with the hot scenes, this makes a very good book.

Highly recommended

I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

I have read Missy Johnson before, and while I enjoyed her previous work, it did not prepare me for this novel. It was dark, intense, sexy, and complicated. I wasn’t expecting it to be such an emotional ride, but it sure was.

However, I am way past over the whole torment hero/heroine trope, so I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at some parts. It’s not the author’s fault. My reading list has just been saturated with this trope lately. I would just like some main characters who don’t need therapy. I am also confused by the storyline. Even now, I am still not 100% sure I know what happened. Maybe I missed something or skipped over pivotal parts?

I didn’t enjoy this book for one main reason: as someone who has been sexually abused, this book felt more like abuse than BDSM. I feel there are many authors who try to write BDSM but they follow the vein of 50 Shades. What I mean by this is that it seems more like a game of power with a woman not strong enough to know who to play. Thus it just comes off as abuse rather than a sexual exploration.

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.

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.
