Chloe I know I shouldn’t covet my sister’s ex-boyfriend. She may have wanted nothing to do with his BDSM lifestyle, but I’m a born submissive. And the only place I want to be is under Simon’s command. But he won’t go near me. Not with the memory of her so close. That leaves me no choice. If he won’t touch me when he knows who I am, I’ll have to come to him in disguise. He’s worth the … come to him in disguise.
He’s worth the risk. I’m meant to be his. Now I just have to prove it to him.
Simon
Being a Dominant cost me my first love, but I can’t deny who I am. I won’t. Control and power are everything, and the way I keep mine is by playing only with experienced subs. No exceptions.
Until I met her.
She wore a mask, but I knew the moment our lips touched she was meant to belong to me. Young, new to the world of BDSM–I knew training her would be a risk.
I didn’t know it would destroy me.

Chloe and Simon have a past and they haven’t seen each other in a few years but that all changes at a masquerade gala. Chloe was always attracted to Simon, while he dated her older sister she developed a huge crush on him, and when they broke up with her sister claiming Simon was abusive that didn’t change her feelings for him in fact it may have proven that he was the perfect man for her. You see there was one night where Simon wanted to show Cassie the kinkier side of him, which she agreed to, but when he did she was horrified and claimed abuse and broke up with him. This was devastating to Simon because he really had feelings for her but when she freaked out it changed him and now he only plays at Club Luminous.
Chloe has submissive tendencies and she is looking for a Dom that will train her thinking that Simon would be perfect she approaches him at a masquerade fundraising gala and lets just say things don’t go as well as Chloe had hoped.
I have to say that I do not remember any teacher at my High School being as HOT as Simon, he had the whole sexy nerd thing going on in addition to his Dominating personality. Gotta say it was a HUGE TURN ON for Chloe and who could blame her. I loved that we were able to get a peek into Haley & Jensen, from Dominate Me, current relationship status. It’s always fun to see the other couples interacting with the new ones.
This has been a spicy read and a great addition to the series, I cannot wait to see who gets their HEA next but I have to say that I am really hoping it’s Bennett.
Happy Reading!!!
While Crave Me is book 2 in the Luminous series, it can absolutely be read as a standalone. With that being said, I enjoyed the first book so I was exited to see where Stacey Lynn would take us with Simon and Chloe.
What I liked about this story was that they had a past and it’s almost like double taboo to some. BDSM and a sister’s ex. That might just get some heads turned. Chloe has been infatuated with Simon since the moment she and her sister laid eyes on him. Unfortunately for her, he picked her sister. Even years after their relationship ended, Chloe she had feelings for him. So when she went to him asking him to train her as a submissive, you knew there were going to be some attachments from the start.
I won’t rehash the book. I think it takes away from some of the reader’s experiences and puts some unfair expectations before the first word is read. What I will tell you is that this book is HOT. Just like with the first book, the sexy times are smoking hot and will have you clenching your thighs. It’s highly recommended that you read this at home unless you enjoy discomfort in public. You know what I’m talking about. 🙂
I like that Simon isn’t your typical Dom that most write about. Sure, he is when it comes to playing the role but there isn’t some dark story behind his desires and he isn’t some billionaire. He’s a teacher and a hockey coach and that makes him way hotter in my opinion. More realistic and quite frankly a better fantasy! So many things you can go with.
I’ve always enjoyed Stacey Lynn’s writing. It flows easy and has the right descriptive balance that I look for. With Crave Me, she delivers us a smoking hot love story full of dominance, sass and whit. Pick it up, I think you might just like it.
