An interesting perspective for a BDSM romance. Not often do you see historical fiction BDSM novels, let allow novels of this genre where the female submissive is the knowledgeable one and the dominant is still a novice. It was an interesting combination and ended working really well.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this historical romance that focused on the dominant/submissive relationship between Judge Gerald Hobson (the villain of the previous books in the series) and "Sapphire"/Sadie, a worker at the local brothel he has been trying to put out of business. I thought it was well done how the author captured the Judge's struggle between giving in to his inner demons to try to find his own happiness, and living up to the version of morality that he has been espousing in public. It was also interesting to get Sadie's perspective, concerns, and desires and be able to see both sides of the relationship.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review. This story involves the Sadie's submission of the dark side of Gerard. Sadie's submits to pain which accumulated into sexual pleasure. Gerard has to learn how to inflict punishment upon Sadie without causing damage. As the story goes along, they both come to love each other. It is a good book and I would recommend it.

'His Sapphire' by Maggie Chase is book Four in "The Jeweled Ladies" series. This is the story of Judge Gerard Hobson and Sapphire 'Sadie' Bleu. I have not yet read the other books so for me this was a standalone book.
It appears that Gerard has been thought to have killed a prostitute. With things going out of control he talks to the 'Mistress' of the Jeweled Ladies. Which she introduces him to Sadie. Sadie is a worker at the Jeweled Ladies business who is good at submission. With Gerard feeling like he is losing control of the town due to the rumors he has been feeling lost. With Sadie's help he starts to gain control again.
This is a different type story with the main female character being a worker at a whore house. Also this is a Dom /Sub historical romance. Overall a hot good read!

A good read.

This is an honest review in return for this ARC. No matter who you are or what you need there is always someone who is your other half. This is a good read about just that very thing. I now need to get into the rest of this series
