Five BDSM stars! The intrigue and heat from this book will blow you away.
Oh mon dieu! Callback by Katana Collins is a stunning masterpiece elegantly written that will literally blow you away. This was an extraordinary read! Engaging, entertaining, alluring with a lot of steamy touches and a whole lot of the best BDSM literature, you will not be able to put down this book!
This is the first time I read something written by Katana and let me tell you something: it won’t be the last time. I’m mesmerized by her work! She wrote a refreshing and tempting book where the BdSM is described in an elegant and unique way. This story encompassed a full spectrum of feelings; intensity, quirky, kinky, redemption and lust, oh so HOT!
The intrigue and heat from this book will blow you away. The chemistry between the main characters is explosive. Marley and Jude story is provocative and thrilling. Their interaction is erotically charged, full of twists and turns that will leave readers hooked to the pages and begging for more.
Marley is a natural submissive, timid and passionate. Being an actress is quite difficult and more difficult when your ex starts rumours about you sleeping your way to get the roles in the movies. She is a good actress and she will prove it to the world. Her agent will get her an audition for a movie about BDSM. She will do anything to get the role even accept the help of a dominant.
Jude is the main actor and co-producer of a BDSM film. He plays the role of the dominant. And searching a good actress for playing the submissive role is going to be a quite fun and exciting. He was captivated by Marley’s audition. As a real dominant in life he saw her submissive side. He knows she is the best option for the movie and not his ex-wife. He can’t work with her again. Helping Marley will be an intoxicated and forbidden experience. He will introduce her into the BDSM style.
Marley will experience a ton of intense and extreme feelings because of Jude. He is a sexy temptation she knows she should avoid in order to protect her career and her heart but how can she avoid the thunderous butterflies in her tummy when Jude is everything she never imagined?
As Marley, I have discovered a new face of the BDSM. I have a big misconception about it. It is not only about the sex, because everyone can have sex. It is a lifestyle that involves power and control between two consent adults. The dominant and submissive relationship is about control, pain and pleasure. The DOM cares for the submissive and the submissive pleases the Dom. But the real one who has the control is the submissive. Wow! I need more lessons about it and Jude is a great teacher.
I had a wonderful time reading this book. I highly recommend it! Inside the pages of this book, readers will find an original story about discovering, teaching, dominance and submission.
This author is new to me. I’m so glad I’ve found her! Plan to read more books this author has written! I was really engaged with the characters, subject matter and storyline. Well written!
Callback is the first book in this series and it appears that they are all standalone stories. Callback was a great read that reminded me of fifty shades in the casting of the movie scenes. It was as if Katana were writing a fan fiction of the film adaptation.
The characters were very well developed and had a complete family history. I felt connected to these people and the story they were telling.
This book is very, very steamy but overall, the story was interesting and had me all caught up.
I definitely recommend this book to those who don’t mind the heat and still enjoy a great story.
The next book in the series follows Ash.
Enjoy.
This was my first read by this author and definitely not the last. I really enjoyed the aspect of the book as it was very different then the others that I have read. The flow of the book was great and definitely draws you in right from the start.
The chemistry between Marlena and Jude was was sexy and steamy with plenty of drama.
I highly recommend this book.
Jude knew that Marly would bring innocence and vulnerability to the role, he could work with her lack of knowledge of BDSM, but he knows he can’t work with his ex-wife.
Going out to celebrate, Marly didn’t expect that Jude would be there to see her, wanting to help her nail the call back, showing her a side of him that not many get to see, but there would be no sex, both agreeing that no one could find out about it.
Marly had a choice to make and she wanted to find test the pleasure Jude was talking about and learnt there was more to the lifestyle then she had learnt agreeing to meet him.
They both thought it would be simple acting to learn the new role, but they can’t deny the attraction that sizzles between them. Could two people with everything that had been done to them learn to trust again. Will she sell her wedding dress for Jude when everything comes out about their pasts
I loved this book. This is the first book I have read by this author. After reading the synopsis and some of the reviews I wanted to give her a shot as I love finding new authors to read. I will say that I was not disappointed after starting this book. The chemistry between the characters is amazing, I love the storyline and then the BDSM…. Who doesn’t love a book with some BDSM? This is a book that you must have time to sit and read as you wont want to put it down. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Great Erotic romance and searing hot love scenes!
I enjoyed reading this story! Marlena is a actor and is going for a part in a movie when she gets to the audition she bumps into the actor Jude she then learns he is the male lead and he he teaches her what the part is about and they end up falling in love. My favorite quote is Burritos, Doritos, Snickers Bar and M&Ms you will have to read the story to find out what that means.
Jude is a film director. He just wants someone to love and trust. His ex-wife betrayed him with another man and made it public by selling the video. He’s tired of the Hollywood fakers. He meets Marlena during an audition for a role in his film. Marlena has a painful past of her own. Jude is more than willing to teach her about BDSM but not sex. Things start to get steamy between them and they discover that anything could be on the table even sex and love. A good read.
When Marlena auditions for a part in a new movie that deals in BDSM, she feels as though she bombs the audition. After running into Jude the lead actor for a second time, he assures her that she was perfect for the roll. He sees that Marlena is a natural submissive and that she was perfect. When Jude can’t seem to get Marlena out of his head, he ends up offering her some help. He will teach her about BDSM and what it means to be a submissive. One week, one week together where secrets get revealed, pasts get shared, desires awaken. There is just one small issue… Marly’s fiancée.
As far as BDSM stories go, this wasn’t half bad. I felt that with Marly’s lack of experience things should have gone a bit different in his teaching and not just jumping right in, but that’s just my opinion. With some super steamy bits, and loads of drama, I give this 4 stars.
This book. You guys… I hope I’m able to convey my love for this story in my review. By the end of the first chapter, I knew I was hooked. I didn’t want to stop reading. Days later and I was still thinking about it.
Yes, Callback is a love story.
But it’s so. much. more.
It’s a lesson in trust. It’s about letting go.
It’s a passion-filled journey and an education about a certain lifestyle.
A story that made my heart feel full & satisfied & so happy.
The chemistry between Jude & Marlena was strong, sizzling, delicious. From the first chapter I was captivated by Jude. He is just so… I don’t even know how to describe him. Of course, caring, generous, and sexy AF, but he’s more than that. He just DID IT FOR ME. The intensity of the looks he gives, the things he says, and *how* he says them. Seriously. *fanning myself* When Marly got chill bumps from a soft touch or a simple command, I swear *I* got them. It’s as if I could hear his voice… that smooth, velvety goodness… and I felt it all the way down to my toes. I could feel the power of Jude. And even though he is the definition of a sexy, alpha man, he also comes with weaknesses. When his vulnerabilities made their appearances, it was heartbreakingly beautiful. I couldn’t help but love this man. Jude has stolen my heart, and I don’t want it back. #masterjudeisMINE
Marlena…I absolutely adored her. I admired her. I could relate to her in so many ways. She is so organized, always in control, and unwilling to trust anyone. I loved watching her transformation from having control, to giving it up. From being afraid to trust, to giving her heart completely.
The love between these two is powerful, intoxicating, and it made me crave every single page of their story.
Ms. Collins’ flawless writing pulled me into this book. I couldn’t get enough of Jude and Marly. Scenes were so vividly written, making them so easy to imagine, making me FEEL everything. Full of heart-pounding goodness that left me breathless. Callback gave me all the right feels in all the right places.
The salted caramel scene? Such a simple act, yet the way it was written was pure perfection. To evoke those feelings in me…pure genius.
BDSM is usually not my cup of tea. But this. The way the author so eloquently described and explained things…absolutely perfect. I am in awe, really. Thank you, Ms. Collins, for opening my eyes.
This book consumed me, left me breathless, and satisfied me on so many levels. It will definitely be a top read of 2018.
Hot, kinky, sweet…movie stars finding love in Hollywood despite their issues
I love books that give a fairly realistic portrayal of kink!! Marly and Jude are hot, sweet, wonderful!! He’s conflicted about dating any more actresses after his sleep her way to the top ex-wife. Marly is trying to reclaim her career after her ex has everyone saying she is trying to sleep her way to the top. Jude takes Marly under his wing to help her get a role in his movie. She knows nothing real about bdsm and he offers to show her the reality. They each find something they both need…and not just each other.
Finding a new author can be a hit or a miss but I’m happy to say I’ve found one I’ll be reading again.
Jude is making a BDSM movie and on Marley he finds the perfect actress for the role. The only stumbling block is that she knows nothing about the lifestyle. At times the dialogue was repetitive, I’m not sure how many times Marley’s past was mentioned but it just felt unnecessary. That’s my only real criticism. I enjoyed the very obvious chemistry between them. Having a ringside seat to them navigating not only a budding love story but also Marley’s introduction to the lifestyle was fun to read. All of this playing out in the high pressure movie industry gave the story an added dimension.
A well written and well thought out book from an author I’ll be reading again.

Planners, Paddles, and Passion!
Callback is a thoughtful, arousing, sexy, and pulsating read. The love story unfolds in layers of passion and trust. The reader is introduced to Marlena, Jude, aspects of BDSM life, and the intricacies of being an actor/actress in Hollywood. The author even touches upon current controversial topics.
Ms. Collins writes in a manner that evokes a unique perspective on the Dominant/Submissive relationship. I truly felt as if I was experiencing these events with Marly and Jude. The scenes and emotions are captivating and raw. Sensual and tangible. Pervasive and exquisite. These characters are intriguing and genuinely flawed. Their growth/development feels organic and relevant.
This love story highlights self awareness and acceptance. As well as, selflessness compassion, and communication. Love is a patchwork of all these things and countless others. This was my first read by Katana Collins, but it will definitely not be my last. I am intrigued by other characters that are introduced in Callback and look forward to reading their stories soon.
ARC for honest review with no compensation received from Bare Naked Words 4.5 stars
Callback is my very 1st book by Katana Collins and will not be my last, couldn’t put the book down just kept saying only one more page…until suddenly I was on the last page! Reading BDSM may not be for everyone but if you like this type of book you will enjoy this well written book.
This story has so many feels that its hard to describe but from the 1st word to the last it takes you on a journey of attraction, life style changes for Marley, learning to trust Jude on many levels, letting go of control, pushing boundaries to the limits, sharing secrets and finding a ever after love thru it all…
I absolutely love a book with BDSM involved. Now I would never engage in that lifestyle, I do love reading about it.
Marley and Jude had such great chemistry together and I loved how they built it up. As starting off by just “acting” for the roles they were going to be playing along each other and how Jude went about teaching her the lifestyle in a week’s worth.
I thought Marley was very much inexperienced and even though she was at this retreat with Jude to learn the lifestyle she wasn’t being very cooperative at the beginning. She wasn’t following the rules of what a sub is to a dom. But I liked how Jude would try and keep her on check and I get it, we all have to learn someway. We may not like some of the acts that are performed in the role of dom/sub but we have to go along with it if we want to participate in it. Marley had a LOT to learn in this lifestyle.
Even though Jude was vulnerable because of his past and what his ex-wife did to him, he wasn’t opposed to seeing what would happen between him and Marley. But Marley had a big secret that she was harboring and she was a very loyal friend who wouldn’t jeopardize anything or anyone. She was a very loyal person.
Although I think this book could have given me a little more steam and a little more angst, I still think it was a great book and I do recommend it. This author is new to me and she didn’t disappoint me with the story. I was anxiously waiting to read it when I first read the blurb and saw the cover of the book. I am a sucker when it comes to both of those things, that’s what draws my attention and makes me want to read the book.
I think Marley and Jude had their little weaknesses throughout the book, but we don’t want everything perfect either right! There has to be some imperfections along the way and they get rectified as the story progresses and that’s what happened with Callback.
4 STARS!
Callback by Katana Collins is the first book in her brand new Silhouette Studios series. Going in I expected something so much different from what I got. I was pleasantly surprised with this.
Marlena is trying out for a lead in a movie. She has been targeted by producers and the like in all the wrong ways since her ex lied to the press and said she was sleeping her way into her parts.
Jude has been burned, badly, by his ex-wife. She never truly loved him and only used him to climb higher in their Hollywood sphere of influence. When he finds out that he might be working with her in the new movie her is starring in he is desperate to have the fresh faced Marlena get the part. So desperate in fact that he convinces her to spend a week in his care getting to know the BDSM lifestyle intimately.
Marlena takes Jude up on his offer to teach her with boundaries in place that they won’t become sexually involved. Not as simple as it sounds and feelings come in to play between them as they learn each others deepest and darkest fears and wishes.
Told in dual POV this book was sexy, twisted, romantic, and downright dirty at times. Enjoy!
This is the first book I have read by the author and I look forward to reading more. Marlena is an actress looking for her big break but has been subjected to the casting couch too many times. She has had some success but she does not have a large fan base. It does not help that her ex-boyfriend started rumors about her sleeping her way into roles. In order to stop the propositioning and comments, her best friend, Oscar, offers to be her fake fiancé. Her agent calls her as he has set up an audition for a part that is Oscar worthy. When she arrives at the audition she bumps into Jude. He is the current hot actor of the industry and Marlena is a little star struck. She wants to play the lead in this film and will do whatever it takes. Jude is on the same page as the last thing he wants is to have to work with his ex-wife on this film due to the nature of the storyline and their acrimonious break up. This is where things get interesting and the reader gets a course in BDSM with a twist as the author focuses not so much on the physical aspect, although there are steamy scenes, but the psychological and the control emitted by both the dominant and the submissive. This is one definite page turner from start to finish. It is a story about pushing boundaries and learning to trust your partner and most of all love in all of its forms. It is also a story about finding out what is truly important in one’s life and going for it. I recommend adding this book to your reading list and one-click now.
I volunteered to read and arc of this book.
