Wow! This book was such a fun, hot, steamy, exciting read! I could not put this book down!
Miss Kelly’s writing style is superb! She wrote this book with such detail and precision, everything was so easy to picture – it was like a movie playing in my head. The pace of the book was steady and evenly flowed.
There are quite a few funny lines and witty banter that definitely had me giggling and let me tell you I was reading this book in public, but I could not keep it in! Gosh, what those people must have been thinking lol!
This book defines sexy and will definitely keep a smile glued on your face! Perhaps a few blushing moments that will make you cringe, but you won’t be able to look away.
I really liked the main characters, Jillian and Jackson. Both characters felt very true, realistic, and relatable. Jillian is an event planner with a struggling business. She is young, pretty, intelligent, and somewhat innocent, but not completely lol. Jackson is a sexy, rich, confident, CEO who is San Francisco’s most eligible bachelor. Jillian is about to throw in the towel and call it quits on her business. In fact, this party was going to be her last. When she then meets Jackson, in a very strange and funny way! She thinks he’s abducting a guest of the party! Yea, can you say awkward LOL!!
Jillian and Jackson both have some serious baggage and painful backgrounds. Their relationship isn’t all cupcakes and rainbows. Between coming from different worlds, their dark histories, and others trying to break them apart there is a lot of obstacles these two face and it will definitely take some work if they are going to make it.
I think you will probably be rooting for them or perhaps like me, secretly hoping it doesn’t work out so that I can date Jackson LOL!!!
Okay yes, there are some parallels to Fifty Shades of Grey – it’s even the theme of Jillian’s parties. And yes, there’s CEO/most eligible bachelor Jackson who resembles Christian and the innocent/naïve girl Jillian who kind of resembles Anastasia. Honestly, I like Jillian more than I liked Anastasia lol. But this book really is a different story and a different approach to the BDSM world. This book is a lighter take – still hot and steamy, but less graphic. Perhaps it’s even more enjoyable and still very realistic. Plus there is so much more comedy and laughing out loud scenes!
It may seem like this is a really long book, running at 392 pages. However, this book is a box set and therefore, it’s actually two books together. I actually finished this book over a weekend and even though I thought it would take longer to finish, the pages just flew right by.
I was thoroughly entertained by this book and would absolutely recommend it! You definitely don’t want to miss out on this one! I promise you won’t regret it!
This book strongly deserves all five stars and honestly, if I could I probably would have given it more!

I read a lot!!!!!! You have to read this series!
This series was by far one of the best I have read for a long time! Of course the alpha sub sex scenes get almost too steamy. But the humor ( i laughed out loud so many times) and the conversations( between all the characters) I felt as if I was right in the book and so many times the things that happened truly touched me. The characters are wonderful. Jillian’s life has been damaged by alcoholics and her conversations with her sponsor are unbelievable. As things unfold with her relationship with Jackson I the funny events and the serious ones are so real. If you still believe in true love or if you want to believe again this 4 book series is IT!
