Love my Alpha Males who take command so this was a bit different for me. Michelle is a Domme and wants Wyatt to be her Sub. They met while on Tour overseas but never acted on the attraction as that is frowned upon in the Military (I think). They reconnect a couple of years later and Wyatt is not in a good place, he is suffering from PTSD. I did like it but could not really get how an Army officer with such male tendencies was able to turn and become a Sub. But I suppose for the love of a good woman, a man would do anything. It sort of ended abruptly but maybe the next one - not sure when it is due - will follow up on their story

An officer and a gentleman. Except the officer is Navy Lieutenant Dr. Michelle Sapphire and the gentleman is Marine Gunnery Sergeant Wyatt Callahan. They served together in Afghanistan and while there was a very definite attraction between them they did nothing to acknowledge it. Officer and enlisted getting it on? Huge no-no. After an explosion nearly takes his life, Sapphire saves him, and they go back to the States. Months after their discharge, Wyatt hits rock bottom after his best friend commits suicide. He’s suffering from PTSD and using alcohol heavily. When Michelle bails him out of jail she gives him a choice – crawl back into a bottle or go home with her where she can help him. The only hitch? She’s a Domme who wants him as her bottom. She won’t settle for anything less, no matter how much she wants him. He agrees to give it a try and the story is off and running.

This is a wonderful BDSM story where the Dominant is a woman. Finally! Why is it so hard to find these kinds of stories?! I loathe a book that starts out with a strong Domme and halfway through the guy has her as his submissive because only he knows what she really wants. Fuck that shit. Michelle is a Domme, through and through. Wyatt is a strong man who never really knew how much he would enjoy being a bottom. It’s a whole new world for him. Their history together sets up the present and their journey as Domme and sub is beautiful to watch. Not just because they are learning this new relationship together, but because they each have baggage to work around and through. The writing is wonderful, the steamy scenes are extra hot, and the characters are well-developed. If you like your Femdom BDSM light (no super harsh scenes) with strong characters and lots of heat then this is the one for you.
