Yes, JustinAfter fifteen years and two kids, the romance has fled from Trish’s marriage. When a friend introduces her to BDSM, she decides it’s what she wants—to have her body and soul mastered by a man who is completely focused on her. And that’s not her husband, whose life revolves around his career.Justin isn’t shocked when he finds out his wife is planning to cheat on him. They’ve been … They’ve been drifting apart for years, and he hates it. To save their marriage, he’ll carry out her kidnap fantasy, fulfill her desire to be dominated, and force her to confront the reasons she wanted to be there in the first place.
Out of My League
The reconstructive surgery that gave Mia the confidence to ask a friend to set her up with someone who resembles Kaelen didn’t erase her insecurities, but she’s hoping it will start healing the emotional scars she’s carried for far too long.
Whenever he’s around the breathtaking teaching assistant, Kaelen can’t seem to keep from sticking his foot in his mouth. He’ll do anything to show her that he’s so much more than the incompetent graduate student he always appears to be.
When the two of them show up at the designated spot, they’re both shocked to discover that Warren had granted the wish neither had the courage to make. After a mind-blowing day together, neither can find the courage to ask for more. They part ways only to end up assigned to the same room at a Caribbean resort. Will the sultry atmosphere help them both make their deepest wishes come true?
By My Side
Marcella Abbot has worked for Sean Winquist for more than a year. As his personal assistant, she manages nearly every aspect of his life. He’s a Dom and she’s a submissive. Through their year working together, they’ve become friends and colleagues, but Marcella yearns for more. She’s in love with Sean, and she’s frustrated that he can’t see past her efficient exterior.
When Sean’s submissive for a BDSM benefit show cancels unexpectedly two days before the event, Marcella jumps at the chance to take her place. Sean wants Marcella, but he’s afraid to let the walls of professionalism come tumbling down and risk losing her.

Absolutely loved reading this fantastic collection of 3 kinky novellas from the amazing author Michele Zurlo who has quickly become one of my favourites. These hot BDSM romance short stories are brilliant, the storylines were engaging from start to finish, the characters were diverse, were well developed and had strong chemistry. I really loved the erotic scenes throughout the three stories and the incorporation of the d/s kink in each. I am definitely looking forward to reading more books by this author in the future and cannot wait to find out what is next in store.

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. I loved reading the three stories in this book. It was hotter than hot, BDSM, arousing, sensual, Dom/sub, trust, lust and more.

In each of these stories, a dominant man and a submissive woman want the same thing but don’t know it, at least at the beginning. You have to suspend your disbelief quite a bit to find some of the plot points plausible, but the scenes are hot and the characters are likable. Michele Zurlo has become one of my favorite writers.

SOMETIMES YOU NEED A FRIEND TO HELP
Three short, erotic stories that certainly got me in the mood to say “yes.”
I could easily see how these would fit into the Oasis series. Sometimes it takes a friend to help you move a relationship along, to open the right door, to see that the person you thought was “out of your league,” belongs “by your side” for the rest of your life.
Yes, I’m punny this way a lot of the time. I like to play with words. I may not be funny, but I like puns. My point is that these three couples are meant for each other and I truly cheered them all on.
These three may no longer be in the Oasis series, but I look forward to more from this series and that one. Anything with Michele Zurlo’s name on it is sure to warm my heart and steam up my Kindle.

This is a collection of three erotic stories with a D/S theme. The stories are not related, each featuring different characters and situations. The stories are all well written and easy to read, with nice well developed plots and plenty of steam. I have read several full novels by this author and really enjoyed them, so I had high expectations. I was quite pleased to see the same care and feeding given to these shorter works. Overall, three very entertaining reads.
Highly recommended

Three novellas contained in this book. First one is a married couple rekindling love with some serious bdsm. Second one feels like two college students thrown together in a mutual like with some seriously hot scenes. Third one is about being hot for the boss. All seriously hot and sexy times.
What did I like? Some quick scenes and three separate stories contained in an anthology type novel. The first one was my favorite… bored wife of a husband who works too much plans on cheating on him. He finds out and decides to thwart her plans. The second one was a young female TA whose classmate has caught her eye, they meet for some combined chemistry and some real fun situations. The third needs a fill in when his current sub can’t make it, she does what he needs and then some.
Would I recommend or buy? This author has a shelf in my library and even her novellas are not quick. They are executed with a sexual dynamic that is precise and fun to read. I’m not a huge lover of novellas but being that I love the Dom series I had to have.
I received a copy to read and offer an opinion.
“Discovering Desires: Three Kinky Novellas” contains three stories that all contained different storylines. Three very different couples and three very different experiences as they moved forward together. Michele Zurlo gives us three stories of dominance and submission. The stories were all steamy and included BDSM play.
1 – Yes, Justin: is about a married couple having marital problems, 2 – Out of my League: involves a popular college boy and a tech smart assistant teacher, and 3 – By my Side: we meet a personal assistant who loves her boss. Yes, he loves her, too but will the two ever give way to their deepest feelings for one another?
The characters weave their way into your heart and make you care about what happens to them. One never feels, as though, you are reading the same story. Michele is an amazing story teller, who throughout the book keeps us on edge while not making it mundane and predictable. I love the different dynamics of each couple. A great read.
Three stories about three couples, miscommunication, and kinky chemistry. A married couple, drifting apart, but both still deeply in love with the other., just unable to communicate with each other their deepest desires and needs. Can Justin and Trish spark up lives and save their marriage? Mia, a teaching assistant to a stuffy professor and Kaelan, a firefighter and student in stuffy professors class. They feel the chemistry, but she feels less than. He however is smitten and how can he convince her that he wants more. Lastly we have a couple that have worked together for years, have both secretly wanted the other, but neither felt they should cross the line. Sean is a Dom and Marcella is a submissive. Can they move forward with their personal relationship and still keep working closely together? Loved all three stories. They are all well written, fast, steamy, se*y reads!

All the stories are similar yet different enough to keep you interested. All of the couples know eachother for each story making the scenes more enjoyable. Each is a learning growth experience for the couples. They discover just what the other needs as well as themselves.

I absolutely adored this collection of stories – it is the perfect intro to those interested in reading about a more kinky lifestyle. This is a perfect smorgasbord of different BDSM situations. All are beautifully and sensitively written, I felt drawn into all of them and totally devoured them.
Yes Justin- an emotional journey of a couple who have drifted apart. With a little help from a friend Justin trains as a Dom and surprises his wife who has been feeling chronically Under appreciated and in desperation has signed up to experience a kidnap fantasy….Will Justin be able to reach her and reconnect?
Out of my league – Mia has a crush on one of her students Kaelen, meanwhile he is secretly crushing on her! Again intervention from a friend allows them to meet up on a blind date however she has major self esteem issues….can Kaelen convince her he is truly smitten?
By My Side – this is a story of a couple that have been secretly in love with each other for years but as they work together had felt compelled to stay professional. When Sean’s submissive pulls out of an important event at the last moment, Mia steps up to the plate which forces them to confront their feelings.
All stories have a common theme of the importance of straightforwards and honest communication- paramount in any relationship. There was lots of heat to these stories in addition to them being beautifully written and I would highly recommend them.

These are three wonderful stories that center on the D/s dynamic. These are three different couples that get together in different ways with a little help from their friends. I enjoyed reading them all. I received an arc of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I’ve read a lot of books written by Michele Zurlo; she has done an excellent job at writing a good set of short stories; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story lines caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the characters.

Kinky x3
Are you looking for one story for a quick read? Are you looking to do some binge reading? This book is perfect for either as it contains not one but three kinky stories. Read them one day at a time or binge all in one sitting(I did this option!). Hot and kinky is the only way to escape reality!!!

All three of three of these stories were incredible.
Yes Justin was my favorite. Married couple Trish & Justin have been married for a long time. Kids, jobs, life has sometimes come before having just them time. Trish wants her alone time with her husband she comes up with a plan to bring the spice back into their marriage. Really loved the way the author puts so much details in the story and brings the characters to life. Really loved this one!
Totally awesome read. Intense chemistry Loved the drama between characters. Fun fast paced storyline.. Definitely recommend this book.
