“Every emotion leaps off the page until you feel the stabbing beauty of each word.” ~April Moran, The Bloodfeather PromiseMy Master and I shared my body. We never expected to share our souls with another.With his ring, I wed.With his collar, I obey.With my body, I share.By my own free will, I surrendered my life to my Master. I vowed to honor him through my thoughts, words, and actions. We were … honor him through my thoughts, words, and actions. We were linked by love and trust. He would never forsake me. He owned me.
When tragedy came, his control carried us through. But cracks showed in my surrender, and as we were one, the cracks slowly broke him. Our promises bound us, but not even my Master’s power could keep us tied together.
Sharing is a dangerous game and we may not survive.

Brit and Damien, le sigh! All the feels. She is his heart as he is hers. After a devastating loss, he has pushed rules and boundaries for them to help her heal. One thing has been pushing her back to her art, which brings Fox into their lives. Another is a tragic accident which makes both of them dig deep. This book explores what dominance and submission mean when the parts that make us whole are broken. What love is. How sharing your heart can help heal a broken duo. Their journey takes a winding, rough road, but they eventually reach a place of peace and happiness, just not quite the way they thought they would. I received a review copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
If you’re into BDSM romance, chances are, you one-clicked this baby the second you read the blurb. Congrats. You’re in for something special.
For the rest of you who might be on the fence because of the BDSM aspect, please stick with me for a second because I need to convince you not to bypass this work of art because you think it might not be for you. If you’re into angsty, heartbreaking, emotional, sexy, marital strife/friends to lovers romance that digs deep, it’s for you.
Yes, BDSM is a heavy theme, but in Beyond Her Desire, sex is simply a means to an end. It isn’t what the couple does that matters; it’s why they do it. And the “why” will break your heart.
The author says of this book, “You’ve never experienced a romance like this!”
No, Ms. Grant, I haven’t. You not only surprised me, you blew me away.
**This is the third installment in the Beyond Surrender Series, and it is a standalone.**
I literally had tears in my eyes as I finished this beautiful story today. Tears that were not really sad tears just a cathartic release. I have read nothing in all my years of reading this genre like this. I was completely invested in this couple. I was fighting for this couple. I was grieving with this couple. I was elated for this couple. I learned a lot from this couple.
What a unique story. We have Brit and Damien and couple that has been married for 10 years. In a full 24/7 D/s relationship. It was refreshing to read a story they goes deeper into the relationship then just how two people meet and developed into a relationship. She gave us a peak into the intrinsic need that both people had to fulfill their role in the relationship. The care that both felt for each other was palpable.
The author does weave highlights of the couples meeting. It is duel POV which I enjoy and I felt in enable me to become more invested in both Brit and Damien.
I don’t want to give spoilers but Brit and Damien do involve a third, Fox. I think I had a soul affair with him. Such a phenomenal mysterious character. I am begging the author for Fox to get his own book.
Art plays a huge part on Brit’s life and this story. It’s almost another character of the book. The author does a beautiful job of describing the art work. I wish there was a appendix that included the images as I would pay good money to attend the gallery viewing as well as the art show that Fox does!
This is Grant’s best book yet! It takes you through the complexities of relationships of those in the BDSM scene, and the risks of bringing a third into a partnership already showing cracks.
I had moments where I seriously wanted to slap characters but in the end I fell in loe with them all and my heart was all twisted and torn through the journey.
Beautifully written and bloody sexy too!

I came to this series without realizing it was a series. While I was able to understand the story, I imagine reading the previous books would help a person connect to the characters. For me; however, this hero reminded me too much of ex-husband; not in his dominance, but in the way he handled himself during a time of personal crisis. Lashing out and using situations he orchestrated to hurt others, or bend them to his will. I enjoyed Fox far more than either of the two main characters.
The writing was good but this book just wasn’t for me.

Brit and Damien’s Storytelling was Heartwreching and Emotional distress of Epic proportions Plus Beautifully Written!! It was such a Rollercoaster ride of TWISTS AND TURNS INTO the UNKNOWN!! LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!
DEFINITELY A MUST READ BOOK AND DEFINITELY LOOKING FORWARD TO READ MORE FROM NICKY!!!
Beyond Her Desire was an unconventional but beautiful love story, full of emotion. This story was well written, heartbreaking at times, and included some hot steamy bits.
This was Brit and Damien’s story. A couple living a 24/7 master / slave lifestyle, desperately trying to find themselves after tragedy. There strong love and with the help of a third, following a further life changing event, they try to find what they have lost.
I’ve read each book in this series and am really looking forward to Book 4, Ethan’s Story.
Five dangerous stars! This book will set your e-reader and you on fire!
There are so many books in the world but there is nothing compared to Beyond Her Desire by Nicky F. Grant. This is one of those stories that crawl so deeply into your head—where you’re not merely reading a book but feeling it too. It is hot craziness wrapped in temptation. I really don’t like to make comparisons but in my opinion this is one of the best BSDM romances I have had the pleasure to read. Better than any shade! It consumed me wholly and hold me hostage from the first to the last page of this passionate and seductive master piece. There aren’t enough words to describe how much I loved this book. It took my breath away. It blew my mind. It ruined me. All my senses were awaken in the most primal way. It seduced me like liquid passion running thorough my veins. I blushed like a teenage girl who read her first dirty book hidden in her bedroom. I had the most enthralling experience while reading this piece of temptation.
The pacing is fast and the plot is unique and refreshing. This book is a breath of fresh air. It is an all-consuming, pulse-pounding, sinfully sexy tale with the right amount of panty-melting scenes and hot passion. Beyond Her Desire by Nicky F. Grant will set your body and kindle on fire were you will burn to ashes and it will make you come back to life like a phoenix. This book is HOT with capital letters. It is DESIRE on FIRE. It is HARMONIC CHAOS. It is a DANGEROUS tale of complete SURRENDER and SHARING of bodies. It is a TEMPTING game full of KINK, PASSION, secret DESIRES and DISCOVERY.
The characters are very complex and intense. They add the fire to this alluring, toe-curling BSDM romance. Brit and Damien’s story is a wrecking ball of a journey. As dominant and collared submissive, they will experience the sweetest and the bitter stages of a BSDM relationship. They will play with fire and maybe they will burn but the LOVE and CARE for each other will save them or condemn them. Being married would add more complications and obstacles.
I f*cking LOVE it!
Book 3! In the series! The title fits to a tee! Beyond her Desire is something to experience!

A quote from this beautifully written story:
“ Art lives in the soul, but it’s our mind which needs to be cleared to embrace it”
Well done Nicky Grant! Loved this story and the characters!
