Krystina Cole was a girl on a mission. She had big dreams and aspirations, none of which included a man by her side. She knew better than that – at least until she met Alexander Stone, the New York billionaire real estate tycoon. She saw the way that he looked at her, and the dark promises in his eyes. She was curious about his world and all that it entailed. But the shadows of her past … haunted her, making her afraid to explore possibilities that she could never before have imagined…
Alexander Stone was a man who knew how to get what he wanted. He understood the value of finesse, and the importance of patience and diligence to achieve the desired result. He was successful and wealthy, relying on his naturally sharp instincts to guide him through life. But a chance run in with Krystina Cole quickly turned his world upside down. Her quick wit and firecracker attitude was the complete opposite of what he wanted in a woman, and his instincts failed him at every turn…
However, both Krystina and Alexander are clinging to the secrets in their past, and neither of them are willing to compromise. Krystina’s hardened heart makes emotional surrender a hard limit. But for Alexander, revealing his past could have devastating results.

Krystina was captivating, so much so that I found myself paralyzed with lust, fantasizing about her almost to the point of obsession. However, the look of total disbelief that came over her face when I told her that I was a Dominant, said that she wasn’t worldly to my more unconventional ways. Dakota Willink.

Trust issues and relationship issues are abound in this book. I loved this book and am impatiently waiting for book 2 in this series. This author was new to me but oh so worth it to read her book. I would recommend this book to those readers who liked 50 shades of gray.
Krystina and Alex will keep you in flames, breathless, and on your toes. For years Krystina has chosen to stay safe in the bubble she has created since things ended so terribly with her ex Trevor. Krys feels like she’s not missing out on much until the day Alexander Stone appears in her life. With his outrageous good looks, undeniable personality, and ferocious tenacity he turns her world upside. Mr. Stone offers to show her passions the likes of which she has never even dreamed of. But with Alex’s tendency to be so guarded Krys is worried about going down his rabbit hole. Alex knew from the moment he laid eyes on Krystina Cole that having her was not just wanted but a necessity. With her beauty and indomitable spirit he finds himself compelled to have her as his. With his particular tastes he knows he will need to tread carefully if he wants to have a chance of convincing her to give this new world a try. He knows that trust is the backbone and foundation of what he needs to build with Krystina but with so much he cannot share will he be able to win her? Alex and Krystina’s tale does continue on after this book, but their story so compelling is so worth it.
I loved it!
