First time author for me, I have only recently delved into this genre and I enjoyed the escapism of this story, my imagination went wild.
I received a copy from Netgalley and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion
An alluring exploration of two people finding their sexual chemistry. Finn and Lillie go on a journey exploring to see if they can make an intimate connection that is sustainable. They find that they are in fact much deeper feelings involved and have in fact found their soulmates.
Her Gentleman Dom Written by Kate Allure
4 Stars
“He radiated a subtle power that unsettled her in a way she found strangely enticing.”
They meet in a setting that could damage both their reputations. One keeps their desires secret...the other is expected to be proper and not follow their own desires, was raised to believe you serve others.
“This isn’t going to work between us if you play it safe. I want, need, all of you…or nothing.”
Will they risk everything and see if they can complete each other’s authentic desires...
What a fun book this was to read. Finn and Lilli were an interesting pair and the story weaves around the ultra focused Lilli doing her independent woman thing vs her little tiny voice telling her she could really fall at Finn's feet. Their attraction was immediate. So we watch as Lilli tests the waters and Finn slowly reconciles himself to corrupt/ or not corrupt the vanilla Lilli. I was hoping for a little more steam and D/s here. It's a light read and I think that some readers will appreciate that. A quick fun read.
*arc from NetGalley and Entangled for an honest review*
Lilli has just won the the right to help build a neighborhood based program that provides free job training assistance for the unemployed, called the Fresh Start Training Center. An architect. from Drake Design Group will be helping to remodel the building. He is Finn Drake and very English. They feel a pull toward each other that neither can explain. Flirting and teasing should be all that happens. What Lilli doesn't know is that Finn is a well known Dom in many circles and clubs.. One night with Finn where she leaves her inhibitions at the door scared her. She doesn't want any man controlling her. Finn has never felt this way before. Will Finn be able to convince Lilli to at least try a Dom/Sub relationship? Or will Lilli give up a good thing because of fear? I really liked the chemistry between them. No trying to push Lily towards something that she is not sure of.. I loved this book and recommend it to anyone interested in BDSM. Some steamy sex scenes. I received this book from Net Galley and Entangled Publishing for a honest review and no compensation otherwise.The opinions expressed are my own.
Well, that was hot. But it wasn't just mindlessly hot, there was a decent story there. Lilli and Finn had a bit of a taboo thing going because he was the architect hired to redesign a house into a low income community center that she worked for. He recognized that she was not into his lifestyle, but wanted her anyway. It was great watching Lilli discover what she liked and how it went against everything she thought she knew about herself.
I am leaving a fair and honest review, as promised, in exchange for this ARC. Well, sir, that was a bit hot. If you are the type of person who relishes giving up a bit of control to gain more, this is your read.
Lilli is thrown together with a wickedly sexy British architect on a San Francisco building project, but her paralyzing attraction to the man could ruin her career. An experienced Dom, Finn never initiates unsuspecting, young women into his dungeon, but hints of her sexual subservience along with her can-do spirit are irresistible. After a night of passion, Lilli discovers his true nature and runs, only to return later and offer her submission, When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Kate Allure is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.
If you are into the dom/sub books this is definitely a good one. The characters are both very likable. Lilli is a woman who in her professional work life she likes to control things so she never thought she would bow down to any man but Finn is hard to resist. Hes powerful yet gentle. This is a good read. I'm sure you will fall for Finn like I did and have mad respect for Lilli.
ARC received for review
It was meh. I didn't really like Finn at all. He just wasn't a very likable guy or Dom, in my opinion. Lilli was just okay.
This was not a bad book, but in a way it didn't convince me at all, especially because it is set in the U.S. where a work relationship could have never worked out like it did on the book. And in the end Lili was a character I didn't like so much even if Finn was even less believable.
Non é che fosse proprio un brutto libro, ma non mi ha convinto, specialmente perché negli Stati Uniti una relazione tra capo e sottoposto non sarebbe mai finita come nel libro, piuttosto in tribunale; e poi li Lili non é per niente un personaggio simpatico e mi é piaciuta persino meno di Finn che é decisamente poco credibile.
THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!
A perfect Dom/sub love story with lots of descriptive scenes. Writing is well done tasteful. Perfect for those readers who want a love story along with kink.
Her Gentleman Dom, is a great book to read while soaking in the tub. That way no one will be able to tell how wet you get while reading it. I'll never tell.
