BDSM, electrical play, torture, kidnapping

Claire Hanson is a submissive in need of a Dom. Finding one in rural Illinois in 1981 is no easy feat but her requirements are simple. Forget complicated limit lists, take charge and give her lots of hot, sweaty sex. On edge, body humming with arousal, Claire aches to have her desires sated. And ruggedly handsome Dominant Mason Burke is the man she wants. But for Mason work comes first and Claire’s tired of waiting.

Mason’s loss is Dr. Carl Skinner’s lucky break. The bonus—Carl’s a rich, drop-dead gorgeous Dom with a real dungeon in his basement. Getting what you want isn’t always a good thing and the game takes a drastic turn Claire never saw coming. According to the Dungeon Master’s victims who still haunt his torture chamber, submission has fatal consequences and she’s running out of time.

Reader Advisory: This scary tale contains graphic scenes of erotic torture and violence that may cause the reader to stay up late reading with all the lights on.

What do you do when you are waiting for the right Dom, but things just keep coming up and maybe he really isn't interested in the first place. That is just what Claire thinks when Mason breaks yet another date and leaves her high and dry. Lucky for her that she has met this really great guy at the park who has offered to help her feel her way through BDSM and all of its many facets. 

Carl is too perfect. He helps Claire with Mason's checklist of BDSM activities and seems willing to listen when she is unsure. After another broken date, Claire heads over to his place, sure that he can help smooth her feathers and maybe do some instructing himself. Too bad he had a lot more on his mind.

This book had me on the edge of my seat and reading long after the lights went out. It does have some trigger points for anyone who has ever had sexual abuse or been kidnapped, so if those are your triggers, read this book with care. The tension between Mason and Claire was amazing and Carl was the perfect villain. He was so perfect, and just the reason you should always get to know someone before you ever prance over for a BDSM session in their personal dungeon. NOT SAFE!!! 

The ghostly voices of the victims still haunt me as I write this. What an amazing book and it looks like there may be more on the way. (I hope so.)

Author Nicole Austin has done a fabulous job of showing just what can happen when you trust the wrong people. The kink scenes were top notch. The torture scenarios were shudder worthy and completely believable. Wow.

5/5  A BDSM thriller that will indeed have you sleeping with the lights on.
