Received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

So here's the thing. I didn't read the first two and I felt like I was at a bit of a disadvantage for it, even though those stories were about different H/h. Once I caught on, I enjoyed the story of Mike/Mickey and James - a submissive who's trying to entice her husband (in name only) to be the Dom she knows he is. The love scenes are hot, but there are some issues with this one, especially about trust. Trust is such a huge part of a D/s relationship and I had a hard time seeing that in this relationship. A decent read, but just something missing.

I loved the story. I felt the author really knew how to bring it to life, giving us something to both enjoy and crave. The characters were excellent. Riley really made them believable and easy to connect with. They were given plenty of detail, background and personality to make them real, which I loved. This made it so easy to fall right into the read and really feel as if I were there, watching this hot, and unexpected romance really unfolded.

Not my cuppa, but fairly well-written. This was another book used as part of a reading challenge to broaden my reading horizons.

This was a strange book for me. Parts of it was really good and you get sucked into the story about, James and Michaela. James must take over the company he runs with her father after her father tragedy. Finding things out about the company that makes him fear in losing the company out right or through a takeover she comes up with an idea of marriage in order to combine their stocks to hold off a takeover. What James does not know is that Michaela has been in love with him for a very long time. He does not feel worthy of her and for some reason does not fully trust her either about the business. The one thing he did give up was being a Dom, he does not want Michaela anywhere near that part of him. He is surprised when he finds out that is what she wants and when he agrees he goes a little over the top for me at times for someone he is supposed to care about. I don’t care about the life style what he does to her a few times is degrading and disrespectful to the person you are supposed to be in love with. The rest of the story you find out about their company and some twist and turns show up at the end with a surprise. There are plenty of sex scenes. Overall not a bad book.
