This was a great read from Stacey Lynn, I am a huge fan of her FIRESIDE SERIES, as with that series this story had an emotional punch but it superseded my expectations with the chemistry between Haley & Jensen, they needed one another more than either of them knew.
Haley is recently divorced and is looking into exploring her kinkier side so she has a meeting set up with the owner of “Luminous,” a sex club, in the hopes of finding what her body truly desires…submission.
Jensen has been out of the scene for two years following an extremely emotional event that has left him second guessing his dominant tendencies. That being said, once he is introduced to Haley he is determined to teach her everything she needs to learn without getting emotionally or romantically involved with her.
The chemistry is there right from the start but there are things that hold each of them back from exploring what they truly desire, a relationship.
There are a lot of ups and downs in this story, but the ride was well worth the price of admission.
Happy Reading!!!
I was introduced to Stacey Lynn through her Fireside Series, which I have really enjoyed. Dominate Me is pretty different from that so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it and give it a go. I’m so glad I did. Apparently I’ve been missing a well written Dom book because I devoured this one.
Haley is a recent divorcee who is independent and strong. She knows exactly what she wants and she goes after it. What she currently wants is to explore a dominate/submissive sexual experience. She has been researching it online and is reading to test the waters.
Jensen is a natural dominate who has been out of the lifestyle for the past two years. His past has kept him away and he has no intention to return. That is until a friend somehow convinces him to step back into Luminous, the club that he used to be a huge part of. While he has reservations, the desire of that part of his being forces him back and escorting the eager newbie, Haley. Will he be able to show her around and go back to his normal life or will the pull of both Haley and that lifestyle be too much?
What I liked about this book was the pull between Haley and Jensen. They were super attacked to each from the start. Both struggled to maintain some sort of seperation between real life and their fantasies of the lifestyle but it was obvious from the beginning that they were made for each other.
This book is HOT and I couldn’t get enough of it. I thought it had the perfect balance of dom/sub fantasies vs lifestyle. Both Haley and Jensen are extremely likable and you can’t help but root for them from the stat.
Overall, I enjoyed this steamy book. If you are looking for a sexy, good time with some sprinkled in humor, dirty mouths and an overall love story, then this is the book for you. Well done Stacey, I can’t wait to read more from you!
Haley Portsmouth is a free woman that is ready to explore the world of BDSM, a world she knows virtually nothing about, and that is part of the intrigue, but she also wants to know what it feels like to be pushed to her limit. It’s something she has longed to experience and she thinks the Luminous club might just be the perfect place to live out her every desire, and once she is there she instantly knows she is where she belongs…
Jensen Rhodes is well versed in dominance, and knows just how to give a woman exactly what she wants, push her to her limits, and leave her completely satisfied. The minute he lays eyes on Haley he knows he has to have her, he can sense her innocence, see the curiosity written all over her face, and he wants to be the man to teach her everything she yearns to learn. And the minute he gets the beautiful temptress under him, he knows he never wants to let her slip away…
Once again Ms. Lynn has created a gem of a story that pulled me in from the first sentence and had me immediately submersed into a world of complete erotic literary bliss!! This tantalizing little page turner drew me in, had me addicted in a matter of minutes, and I knew there was no way I was coming up for air until I had devoured every luscious little morsel… and it was SO damn gooood! The chemistry between these two was packed with so much intensity that at times I swear I could literary feel the sparks arcing between them, and the anticipation lingering before every encounter had me breathless and on the verge of combustion… and certain that nobody does sexy quite like Ms. Lynn!! Loved every minute of this one, it was HOT! HOT! HOT!
Average for the genre but I liked it.
