Style and seduction collide in Jamie K. Schmidt’s Heat — sure to please fans of Fifty Shades of Grey — as the world’s best-dressed men and women shed their clothing… and their inhibitions.
On the run from her abusive fiancé, ER doctor Mallory Bryant arrives at her sister’s Connecticut resort desperate for a place to restore balance to her life. But Club Inferno is more than a haven for the … Club Inferno is more than a haven for the rich and fashionable. Beneath its elegant facade is an erotic playground where dominants and submissives play out their fantasies. At first, Mallory is wary of Max Spencer, the martial arts trainer acting as her bodyguard — until he introduces her to passion so intense she wants nothing more than to surrender to his touch.
As one of Club Inferno’s most skilled doms, Max enjoys taking Mallory to the limits of pleasure. It’s a dangerous proposition, and as their sensual games draw them into a relationship beyond the boundaries of pupil and master, Max starts spiraling out of control. But when Mallory’s violent past catches up with her, Max knows what he must do: draw her closer than ever before, even if it means risking a surrender of his own.
Heat is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

I struggled with this one. I had a hard time thinking of Max as a Dom because he seemed to soft to me. I also had a hard time with Mallory’s character. I just didn’t connect to them in any way. The story was well-written, light on the BDSM, and a cutesy romance, but it just didn’t do it for me.

I liked this novel… if I didn’t focus on the blaring inconsistencies in plot and character development. The premise was easy enough: girl’s husband abuses her so she runs.
