A Dom for Patti-New Release from Elodie Parkes Blog Tour and Giveaway

A Dom for Patti, June 16 release from Evernight Publishing

When a fleeting encounter with a handsome stranger ignites Patti’s repressed loneliness, she has to admit she longs for the love of a sensual Dom.

Luck is on her side when she goes out for the evening, and meets delicious Cameron in The Club—but is he all that he appears to be?

Cameron’s overwhelming attraction to Patti is tested when she inexplicably fails to show up for a date—just what is going on and will they ever get together?

An erotic romance, with Dom/sub and spanking elements—a contemporary, magical love story.

Background to the story

I wrote a story titled Rescuing Cade published by Evernight in February this year. In that story, Patti, the heroine from a Dom for Patti, is introduced to Cade. They are both visiting The Club, a select BDSM club. Cade is kind to Patti, but his heart already belongs to someone else and after only a few minutes he tells Patti he’s leaving. In that few minutes, he kisses Patti and she feels an instant attraction to him. Unfortunately, lonely Patti is destined not to be with Cade.

I liked Patti a lot and I decided to write her story. It’s an erotic romance with a twist. Patti is hoping for love as well as a handsome Dom to fill her lonely life, when she meets hunky Cameron in The Club, she thinks her luck is looking up … let’s hope so.

Interview with Cameron

1. If you were a dessert, what would you be?

Chocolate ice cream cake with a drizzle of coffee liqueur

2. What is it like being a personal trainer?

I enjoy seeing people achieve their goals and becoming happier with themselves. I travel with them sometimes, if they’re a movie star or model trying to get back into shape, and that can be fun.

3. What do you do when you need to blow off steam?

I own a fitness center with my brother so I work out and sometimes I’ll take off on a rock-climbing spree.

4. What do you look for in a woman?

Gentleness, intelligence, a sense of humor, sexiness, courage, beautiful eloquent eyes

5. What’s your favorite sex toy?

Mmm, let me think for a moment … okay well all kinds of vibrators and lubes are great because I can give my lady more pleasure

6. The blurb for A Dom for Patti mentions spanking, can we expect some in the story and do you enjoy spanking?

(Laughs) I’ve never been spanked per se, although Patti has dared to slap me on the ass as I pass naked, which I loved and had to kiss her loads to reassure her it was okay. I spank her because it makes her wet, but I don’t put my strength behind it. I do it for her to give her pleasure not to hurt. Frankly, I’d be devastated if I hurt her. I cherish her—she’s mine and we both know it, but that means I take care of her.

7. Tell us a little about Patti.

She works in fashion. She’s pretty, small, slender, and fits over my shoulder. (Smiles) She’s sexy, clever, interesting, luscious … let’s stop this before I start craving her kiss.

8. So, this is a love story?

It sure is. It’s hot, sexy, and there’s a journey, but it’s all worth it.

ONE

The scene with her tonight enchanted him. He glanced over to where she was dressing.

Patti struggled with the zip of her dress.

Cameron went to her. He fastened her dress and ran his hand along the nape of her neck, turning her to face him.

Cameron’s heart filled with hope at Patti’s tender smile. He handed her shoes over. “Here you go.”

Patti took them. “Thank you, Sir.”

He watched her balance to put them on for a moment before scooping her up and helping as she laughed and clutched his shoulders. Walking with her in his arms, he deposited her on a barstool. “I’d like it very much if you’d call me Cameron.”

She nodded. Her thick blonde hair shone in the light from the bar. The white strip lights reflected in the mirror tiles at the back of the bar sent streaks glistening as she pushed her hair from her face and nodded in agreement. “Yes, Sir.”

Cameron hardened his expression. “I expect you to do as I say, even though our scene is over. I’ve asked you to call me by my name. It will be great if you’d do that.” He turned to the bartender. “Coffee for me, thanks.” He looked at Patti for her order.

She sat sideways on the stool, turned toward him. “For me too. Thank you, Cameron.”

Just how much he enjoyed hearing his name from her lips sent a spike of surprise through him. He stared into her chocolate brown eyes as he pulled the next barstool along and sat to face her. For a whole minute, he drank in the sight of her. With her small rounded nose, the pretty shape of her face, and those oh so kissable lips slightly parted as if she waited for his mouth on hers—she was just right. He gave in to the sweet temptation of her mouth and leaned over to kiss her.

Cameron breathed in the soft scent of her skin as his nose pressed against her cheek. Her response to his kiss sent him hurtling into desire so strong he pushed his hand up between her thighs and his fingertips traced the shape of her slit through the soft fabric of her panties.

A low groan escaped him. He broke away from the kiss. “If you have no Master or wish for a more permanent Dom, I’m inclined to apply for the vacancy.” He murmured the words as he gazed into Patti’s eyes. “I will expect your fidelity. I can’t share you, unless you’re desperate to have a ménage, and then I’ll choose the third partner in our sexual pleasure. I don’t do pain, so fair warning. I do spank when you really ask for punishment by continued disobedience and if it makes you wet…” He stopped talking for a moment as he saw a fleeting emotion in her eyes and knew it did make her wet, and then continued. “I will want some extended scenes with some restraint you’re comfortable with, so that I can fully appreciate your sexy little body and response to my attention—I will take care of you. What do you think?”

TWO

The darkness soothed Patti. The music lifted her spirits and she smiled at the lovely sight of people enjoying each other. She relaxed in the familiar atmosphere and began to wonder why she’d denied herself this pleasure for so long. Happy now, she wandered along to the bar and ordered coffee.

Patti spent a pleasant ten minutes drinking her coffee and talking with the bartender, before a man and woman she’d seen around The Club in the past arrived at the bar. Patti cast a sidelong glance at them before transferring her scrutiny to watching their touches and kisses through the length of mirror along the back of the bar. They were obviously a couple. More than that, they were obviously in love.

Patti left the sight that reminded her of what she desperately wanted and walked along to the end of the room. She stopped in the gloom there and considered going home. She’d shaken her depression and maybe on her next visit she’d find one of the Masters free.

About to move off, instead, Patti turned abruptly. Someone approached from behind and she was suddenly aware she lurked around in the entrance to the corridor that led to the private rooms.

He was closer than she’d anticipated. A hard muscular chest met her, and as she bumped against the man, his arms enclosed her.

Patti looked up into the face of a man she’d never seen before.

His eyes were dark in the gloom. He’d stopped further into the shadows, but the handsome planes of his face were still obvious. A dimple appeared in his left cheek as he smiled.

“Hey, are you okay? I didn’t mean to scare you.” He left his arms around her.

Patti soaked up the contact. She looked at him with interest. “I was deep in thought.”

Excerpt:

“Once upon a time….” Erika sang and waggled her eyebrows. “Come on, Sydney. Live a little. This club is smoking hot, and you’ll love it.”

Sydney grumbled under her breath and watched the club-goers parade past, each dressed like a fairy-tale character. The Little Mermaid trounced by in a see-through, diaphanous gown revealing too much in the way of personal attributes. Sleeping Beauty sashayed down the sidewalk with a leash around the neck of her Prince Charming. A woman in a way-too-short Red Riding Hood outfit approached. Her arm was wrapped around a seductress dressed in wolf ears, a tail, and a skimpy thong-style bikini. Red carried a basket full of what looked like pink fuzzy handcuffs and a can of whipped cream, which she swung into Syd.

“Hey!”

The red-cloaked vixen sent her a wink and traipsed on by, joined by a near-pornographic version of the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland. Any shorter and the skirt would show her naughty bits. Or maybe that was the plan.

Syd had just gotten off her day shift as a detective, and the last thing she wanted to do was be around more people. Especially people with more skin showing than on late-night cable shows. Her head hurt from the lights and the pulse of the music, and her stupid witch costume was pinching her toes. Erika’s scant fairy costume hugged all her curves, her breasts bursting from the bodice. The skirt barely covered her backside, and the strappy silver sandals showed off her silver-glitter nail polish.

The building loomed next to them. A giant warehouse-like structure, it was large enough to house all manner of mischief, and Syd was itching with the desire to get inside and find out just what was going on behind its doors. The sidewalk was flagged by trees lit up with twinkly white lights, adding an upscale ambiance to the area. What in the daylight looked like an industrial area gone to the dogs had been transformed into an attractive and well-attended venue.

She didn’t have the heart to tell Erika she’d been here once already today for the case she was working on, but the entrance had been sealed up tighter than a drum. Sydney’s recourse was to infiltrate Club Beam by night as a patron. Her sergeant, Debra, would kill her if she realized Syd had even considered going in without backup. So would her partner, James. Erika had asked her to come so she wouldn’t be alone, and, despite herself, Syd couldn’t resist. To catch a vampire, you had to go out at night, and Club Beam was the hot spot. After last month’s fuckup, she had to do this and do it right, even if it killed her. James was on medical leave, and it remained up to her to get this guy before someone else got killed or turned furry.

I will not think about becoming one of the terminally furry. It’s over. Move on. Take the pills the doctor gave you and freaking pray.

“Oh look. I think I see Snow White.” Erika stood on her tiptoes and craned her head along the huge expanse of line they still had to navigate to get inside.

Syd peered into the crowd and grimaced. Hairy legs. More makeup than a Mac commercial. “Nope. That was a guy in drag.”

Erika narrowed her eyes. “God, Syd. You’re the world’s biggest wet blanket ever.”

Sydney shifted her weight and moved another two steps toward the door as the line inched forward. “I told you, I’ve had a hard day. We had a homicide case come in, and I’ve been out beating the street. I want to go home and bury my head under my pillow. But, no. Out of the kindness of my heart, here I am standing in line at a vampire bar with a bunch of overgrown kids playing dress-up in fairy-tale fetish wear.”

Burning for Her Kiss Release Day

Burning For Her Kiss (Serpent's Kiss, Book 1) by Sherri Hayes

Genre: BDSM Erotic Romance

Release Date: February 12, 2015

Book Summary

Beth Davenport has no interest in getting involved with another man for the foreseeable future. To say her last relationship ended in disaster would be a colossal understatement. The only reason she agrees to put in an appearance at Serpent’s Kiss, a private kink club in downtown St. Louis, is because her best friend, Nicole, won’t quit nagging her. When she walks in the door that night, the last thing she expects to do is meet a man who will have her reconsidering her ban on men.

As a captain with the St. Louis Fire Department, Drew Parker is used to being in charge. His crew relies on him to make sure they know what they’re doing and return home to their families after every shift. It isn’t, however, what he wants in a relationship. Drew decides to join Serpent’s Kiss to see if what appeals to him in fantasy is something he wants to explore in the real world. He’s also hoping that he’ll be lucky enough to meet a woman with whom he can explore his desires. The night Beth walks into the club, he is intrigued. Drew has to get to know her better.

After what happened to her, Beth is reluctant to get involved with Drew. It doesn’t matter that he is sweet and charming. She’s been burned before and Beth doesn’t think she can survive having her heart crushed again. Drew, however, won’t take no for an answer. He wants a relationship and is determined to chip away at her defenses until she relents. Will she give him a chance, or did her ex leave her with scars too deep to heal?

Excerpt

She plunged her tongue inside his mouth and took what she wanted. It was the hottest thing Drew could ever remember experiencing in his life.

The kiss didn’t last more than a minute or two, but it was long enough for him to know he wanted more.

Beth rested her forehead against his. She was breathing just as hard as he was. Her chest was heaving up and down, brushing against his chest. Not to mention that she was still straddling his lap.

“Please tell me you want to do that again.”

She laughed. It was so nice to see her happy and carefree.

“Is that a yes?”

“Don’t get cocky on me now.” She ran a single finger down the side of his face and over his lower lip.

He closed his eyes, trying not to push.

“Open your eyes,” she whispered.

When he met her gaze, he noticed the amusement was gone. He was instantly on alert. “What’s wrong?”

Beth shook her head. “Nothing’s wrong. I’m just . . . considering my options.”

“Options about what?”

“You.”

“Oh.” He wasn’t sure he liked the fact that thinking over her options had banished the fun they’d be having.

Before he could formulate another question, she explained. “Things between us are moving faster than I thought they would.”

“Is that bad?” He needed to know. In his opinion, things between them weren’t moving fast enough.

She sighed. But Drew also noted that she hadn’t removed herself from his lap. That was good, wasn’t it?

“I don’t know. Maybe. Maybe not.”

Review:

I love Sherri Hayes writing style. It takes you deep into the inner workings of the characters and the same can be said for Burning for Her Kiss. I loved the book. While most BDSM books take the male Dominant view, I was thrilled to read more about a male submissive. Let me clarify by saying that a true male submissive is not a doormat, any more than a female submissive is. To submit to another human being is one of strongest things you can do and in this case the male sub was hot, sexy and a perfect match for his Domme. The story moved well and kept my interest and I can't wait to read the next book in the series because this book did leave me burning...oh yes.

Author Bio

Sherri spent most of her childhood detesting English class. It was one of her least favorite subjects because she never seemed to fit into the standard mold. She wasn't good at spelling, or following grammar rules, and outlines made her head spin. For that reason, Sherri never imagined becoming an author.

At the age of thirty, all of that changed. After getting frustrated with the direction a television show was taking two of its characters, Sherri decided to try her hand at writing an alternate ending, and give the characters their happily ever after. By the time the story finished, it was one of the top ten read stories on the site, and her readers were encouraging her to write more.

Nearly eight years later, Sherri is the author of eight full-length novels, and two short stories. Writing has become a creative outlet that allows her to explore a wide range of emotions, while having fun taking her characters through all the twists and turns she can create. You can find a current list of all of Sherri’s books and sign up for her monthly newsletter at www.sherrihayesauthor.com.

Five years after the doors opened, the club is everything she’d hoped it would be. On Friday and Saturday nights, Serpent’s Kiss is filled with men and women who share a similar desire to explore the pleasures BDSM has to offer. The club has continued to grow, and over the years, many of its members have become friends.

The one thing Katrina didn’t expect when she’d decided to open a club was the human drama that came with it. Learning to balance her life as the club mistress has taken some getting used to, but she wouldn’t change a thing.

Bound With Pearls by Sidney Bristol

anal, club scene, voyeurism, 

The last thing Christine wants to do is another favor for her sister, but Lucy always gets what she wants. This time it’s Chris playing sub to a demanding Dom. Their relationship begins with a power exchange and progresses to time spent between the sheets. Now emotions are getting complicated and the Dom isn’t just a hunky guy in black.

Daniel’s expectations are turned upside down when he meets Chris. She’s more than a well-trained submissive. She’s a woman with a body he wants to memorize. He’s willing to spend as much time as it takes to learn her, because she might be his match and his muse. He’ll make her come so hard he’s imprinted on every inch, and then he’ll offer her the most precious thing he can, himself.

What can I say? I love a great book with angst, family drama and some hot sex. In this book you get all three wrapped up in a nice string of pearls. 

Chris is a character that really resonates and if you have a sibling that has gotten on your nerves at all then you can really identify. Lucy, Chris's sister, has put her in a horrible position-if she wants her mother's pearls, she has to go and meet for a play date with an unknown Dom. OMG! What would you do? Christ reluctantly does it, but really limits what will happen. (Good girl!) The fun part is when said Dom (Daniel) and Chris find that they have a firework filled chemistry that just won't quit. 

I loved this book for the vulnerable characteristics of both main characters. They each had issues that make life messy and that just made the book that much more real. This is the second book I have read by Sidney and her style is really gripping. She crafts characters that pop off the page and don't let go. Always with a tattoo to spice things up too!

Hot sex, sweltering bondage scenes and some fun tattoos and jewelry make this a fun read you won't want to end any time soon.

Excellent read.

Brooke's Wish: A Sassy Party At SRE

Hi folks. Erzabet Bishop here, reporting live from the amazing SRE club!

Hi, yes, excuse me miss...Can you tell us a little about yourself? 

Brooke: *smiles and tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear* Of course! Hi. I’m Brooke Allaire, just visiting from St. Louis.

Erzabet: And who are these tall and very dashing men with you?

Brooke: *grabs Ty and Jackson and hooks her hands around their arms* These are my favorite New York City men, Ty and Jackson. 

Erzabet: So tell those of us who haven't ventured inside the club, what is the big attraction?

Brooke: The Satin Rose Experience is like no other club. It truly is a magical place where fantasies are fulfilled. 

Erzabet: I’ve heard it’s a BDSM club. Any truth to that rumor?

Ty: *smiles and speaks with a southern drawl* You know what they say about rumors. You can’t always believe what you hear. SRE is much more than that.

Jackson: I have to agree with my friend, Tyler. SRE is a safe place to come to live out a fantasy, test your limits and explore. Or just sit back with a drink and watch if that’s what you’re into. *winks at Erzabet*

Erzabet: Oh my! *fans face with hand* Well, I understand there was a large party here recently. Can you fill us in? And speaking of drinks, I understand there was a competition for SRE's signature drink.

Brooke: Asher and Mia are always throwing parties here. The last one was in my honor *blushes* Jake, SRE’s bartender is still collecting recipes for SRE’s next signature drink! The current drink is Mia’s Lavender Rose, it’s just delicious and perfect for a cold winter’s night.

Erzabet: What about these themed suites I’ve heard about?

Ty: There are ten here in New York and Asher is expanding to Vegas with SRE’s second location. Each suite is different than the next. 

Brooke: Yes, I’m staying in Suite One and let me tell you, the Playroom contains everything a girl could ever wish for.

Erzabet: It sounds wonderful. I’d love to see it.

Jackson: *holds his hand out* It just so happens I don’t have a date for tonight’s party. Care to join me?

Intrigued? Go to http://SatinRoseExperience.com for an insiders look at the club and it’s sexy staff and members. You can also join the SRE crew to sign up for email updates and to receive sexy SRE swag!

The Review:

What could be more fun that a visit to a spa for some relaxation, right?

When Brooke's friend sends her to SRE, she has no idea that it is really a BDSM club. Shocked and appalled, she tries to move to a different hotel, but being the holidays in New York, that is not likely to happen. As Brooke embraces the luxurious surroundings and decides to let down her hair after meeting the scrumptious Ty and Jackson, you are in for a treat as Brooke receives the very finest that SRE has to offer.

This book was a page turning foray into the spiciness that is The Satin Rose Experience. It had me reading into the night. The menage' action was smokin hot and the BDSM elements brought a kick ass dose of sexiness that will have you clamoring for the next  book in the series. (Hopefully soon...if not, I may go into withdrawal!)

Ty and Jackson are lip smacking good and a fantasy come to life!

BROOKE’S WISH (The Satin Rose Experience series)

from Evernight Publishing

Release: November 2, 2012

Blurb: A failed relationship and long hours at her flourishing practice have Dr. Brooke Allaire running on empty. When Brooke accepts a girlfriend’s gift of some holiday pampering at New York City’s posh Satin Rose Experience, she assumes she’s in for a weekend of facials and massages. Brooke soon realizes there’s more to SRE than meets the eye.

Ty Venice is a team player. He’s used to sharing submissives with fellow Dom Jackson Reid. However, if there was ever a game changer, Dr. Brooke Allaire was it. That is, until he gets a glimpse at her ultimate fantasy, to be possessed by two men at once.

The Satin Rose Experience, New York’s elite BDSM club residing on the twentieth floor of Rosebud Resorts, contains ten uniquely themed suites, each with its own story to tell. Fulfill your fantasy at SRE.

Excerpt:

“W-who’s there?” Brooke croaked. She put her hands on her hips and straightened her back.

A low chuckle erupted. “Don’t panic, princess. It’s just me.”

Ty. She took a deep breath and smiled.

“Sorry, love. I got carried away taking in the sight of you like this. You look magnificent, Brooke.” His southern drawl was more distinct than the night before.

Warm hands stroked the bare skin under the negligee between the corset and her lace panties. She shivered from the light touch traveling up her back. He untied the ribbon at her neck and slipped the negligee off her shoulders. Heat radiated from his body as he moved to face her and pulled the blindfold from her eyes.

“Hi there,” he said huskily.

Her stomach fluttered when she looked into his eyes. It was a different look for Ty Venice. Thick stubble covered his cheeks and the area above his lip. She recalled how his whiskers scratched her cheeks the previous night and her face heated when she anticipated his stubble abrading the skin of her inner thighs. She lowered her eyelids to his bare shoulders. Her breath caught at the sight of his muscular chest and arms. Reaching out, she traced her fingertips over the outline of a detailed rose tattooed on the muscular curve of his bicep. A combination of musk and manliness filled her senses. She continued her gaze downward and followed a line of soft hair to the unfastened button of rumpled khaki pants. Brooke looked back to his face and he smiled seemingly enjoying watching her visual journey down his body.

“Hi.” She smiled back.

Ty hooked his thumb under her chin and lifted her face to his.

“I heard you requested me, love.” His lips were just a whisper away from hers. “Everything okay?” There was concern in his voice.

Brooke opened her mouth to speak but closed it again and nodded. Her heart beat wildly as his hand gently stroked her cheek.

Mia's Submission: The Review

Hardworking Mia Lavender's been offered a promotion she can’t refuse--VP of Client Experience at New York’s exclusive BDSM club, The Satin Rose Experience, or SRE. Mia's kept her submissive tendencies a secret, until now. She'll have ample opportunity to explore her fantasy because to succeed in her new role at SRE, she will need on-the-job training at the hands of Asher Cane.

During Asher Cane's very first training session with Mia, he fails to follow his own rules and has the hottest vanilla sex of his life. Mia needs training, and Asher is damned if he'll allow another Dom to touch her. Can Asher be the dispassionate trainer Mia needs to learn the exquisite give and take of dominance and submission? Or will Mia's submission come only at the cost of his heart?

Mia’s Submission is Book One of The Satin Rose Experience (SRE) series.

SRE, New York’s elite BDSM club residing on the twentieth floor of Rosebud Resorts, contains ten uniquely themed suites, each with its own story to tell. Find the introduction of SRE in The Satin Rose Experience, a short story in Evernight Publishing’s Keyboards and Kink Anthology.

Have you ever wanted to experience the perfect vacation? Your own personal fantasy island? Then you need to go and visit SRE for yourself.

In the Keyboards and Kink Anthology you met Mia, a young woman who has a secret. She has been hiding her submissive tendencies until Asher Cane sees in her a passion that has the potential to feed his Dominant side and become the new Vice President of SRE. Does she have what it takes to embrace her on the job training as a submissive?  Can she walk the walk her clients experience and emerge a woman who knows the hidden pleasures that await in The Satin Rose Experience?

This book was sinfully sexy and I loved every minute of it. As you journey with Mia into her foray into BDSM, the pages smoke hotter than an e-reader on fire. Every sensual scene ratchets up the steaminess. Mia learns the sensuous power that being a submissive wields as she tastes the decadent delights that await her in SRE.

Fantasy island has nothing on The Satin Rose Experience. Join Mia as Asher  unleashes the sensual being within her and she embraces her new role as VP of SRE. This job has some unique on the job training you will never forget.

5/5

Thank You Master: The Review

Juliana Sells, psychologist to Chicago’s wealthy, listens as patients share stories of BDSM and encourages strength, equality and independence. Allowing a man to dominate her life, will and body seems incomprehensible; until she encounters Detective Derek Terrill. Brought together by fate, the detective is required to see Dr. Sells for counseling related to a police-action shooting. During their last session Detective Terrill confronts Dr. Sells, telling her he senses her obvious submissive tendencies. He challenges her to confront her unmet desires and explore submission, sexual slavery and discipline.

Unable to deny her attraction or physical response, Juliana agrees to meet him, even obeying his absurd demand to appear without pantyhose or panties. Upon arrival, she’s shocked and humiliated to discover his lesson includes physical punishment. During her spanking he introduces her to the world of pain mixed with pleasure. Seemingly incomprehensibly, Juliana discovers pleasure intensifies exponentially when associated with agony. She succumbs to the incredible turn-on she experiences at his hand.

The next evening she meets him, at Inferno, a BDSM club, where Terrill works security. She witnesses scenes of female domination and quickly deduces the small silver locket Derek required her to wear has meaning, both as protection and informing others she is “owned”.

While there, Juliana not only witnesses submission, she experiences it. Physically Derek demands oral gratification and stakes his claim on her virgin anus. Mentally he requires her to behave in a degrading manner. Submitting to the public humiliation and physical degradation makes her hot and wet. Yet, she questions why a woman would want to give-up herself to be someone’s property. He explains it’s not about giving-up. It’s about consensual submission to your master’s control. He proposes a weekend of total submission, where at the conclusion, she can decide if she is willing to call him Master.

Can a weekend of degradation, subjection, pain and passion all at the hands of a dominate man change Juliana’s life forever? Is the pain he inflicts too much for the pleasure, or has Juliana finally found the man she’s willing to call Master?

BDSM, Anal sex, M/f, slavery, D/s and dubious consent

What would you do if you were a psychiatrist and heard all about women's adventures in the BDSM world and were infernally curious, despite yourself?

What is the lure? Why in God's name would a perfectly sane and intelligent woman subject herself the slavery and abuse her patients tell her about? Why would it make you squirm in your chair and long for something you have never known?

The story in Thank You Master is a journey of sorts. Juliana has been seeing Derek as a shrink but during one session power shifts dramatically, landing her on a slippery precipice. This short novella has hard edges, gritty humiliation, brutal sex, but above all, a path toward Juliana finding the missing pieces of her life.

Some of the scenes in this story are not for the faint of heart. As Derek breaks down Juliana's haughty exterior, he uses humiliation to show her how freeing the life of a slave can be. The voice of the novel is smooth and I was able to identify with Juliana on a deep level, living each event with her. There was no distance between the characters and reader. As I read, some of the extreme measures that Derek used to bring Juliana to heel were shocking to me, but I kept reading voraciously. 

The basis for the story was this: BDSM is about consensual activities between the Dom and his slave/sub. Even when you are reading and flinch at a slap or cringe at the sub drinking water from a bowl on the floor, all of these things could be stopped at any moment, should the sub wish it. Tough love is the phrase that comes to mind.

I liked this book and found the dark erotica elements both chilling but utterly absorbing. Juliana's foray into the world of BDSM was an adventure and I am looking forward to more books by this author. Fans of Lizbeth Dusseau, Kitty Thomas, Bianca Sommerland, Candice Blevins and Skye Warren will enjoy this book.

Many thanks to Pink Flamingo Publications for sending a copy of the book for review. For more of their titles, please visit their site.

Stealing Serenity by Reese Gabriel

Book 4 in the Tall, Dark and Dominant series.

Career-obsessed Serenity is thrilled to discover that the fake date she’s procured for a big company dinner leads an alternative lifestyle. What better way to avoid any possibility of a time-consuming relationship? Unfortunately the ruggedly handsome, sexy Ross Lassiter isn’t gay, as she’d thought—he’s a sexual dominant.

Sparks fly as Serenity insists she could never be submissive, but Ross knows exactly how to tap into her deepest fantasies of whips and chains and a tall, dark Master. Ross seduces her gradually, sending her outrageous lingerie, engaging her in wicked phone games.

As her fantasies explode into reality, Serenity must balance two worlds. Ross is the one in control but what happens when his emotions come into play? Could Serenity be the one—his partner and bedmate for life? Serenity holds the key, assuming she can stay true to her name. But that will prove quite difficult while writhing in Ross’ embrace, her body bound by his will, her heart stolen by games too powerful to ignore.

 What do you do when the date you thought was gay suddenly turns out to be a little bit more than you bargained for?

When Serenity goes on a blind date, she is shocked to find out that Ross isn't gay, but something completely unknown in her vanilla world. A sexual Dominant, he exudes confidence that grates on her nerves and makes her squirm in her seat. What's a girl to do?

The interesting thing about this book was Serenity's complete irritation with Ross and the hot and cold hate/love thing that was going on. She was repulsed by the submissive status of women in the BDSM world that Ross introduces her to, not understanding until the very end what being submissive really means. I found myself a little frustrated with her character on a number of occasions, but I was also empathetic as well. If you are a complete vanilla, being introduced to BDSM can be a shock to many people. Lots of people just see the whips and chains and not the hidden language behind the scenes. 

Ross enters into the eternal question. How do you attain the status of being a Dom without being an overbearing jerk? He walked a fine line for awhile, but his humanity won through and I liked the reasoning behind his feelings in the end.  

As Serenity's fantasies include Ross more and more and she understands what the BDSM lifestyle can hold for her, the story opens up into a realm of possibilities that made for a good page turning tale. I am looking forward to reading more in this series to see what it has to offer.
