Who knew a little ice could burn so hot?Master Raine needs control the way fish need water. His life outside LA’s most exclusive BDSM club is chaotic, and as a result he demands complete obedience from his submissives. Chastity is delighted when she learns she’s been assigned the letter I  as part of the club’s checklist game. After all, there’s nothing she loves more than a spanking or … flogging, both forms of impact play. She’s in for a surprise, when she learns that “impact” isn’t even on the list. Chastity is an excellent submissive, but hates rules. Master Raine is a careful Dom, but without structure he becomes ruthless. Their deceptively simple list of toys becomes something so much more when the truth about who they really are is revealed.

The letter I was véry interesting,with a Dom that needs control and a sub that demands respect.
Put those two together and wait to see what happens,is half the fun.
Master Raine needs control because it keeps him centered,and because it keeps his inner brute at bay.
Chastity is the kind of sub that makes him wonder why they were paired.
She’s submissive alright,but with a kind of sass his usual subs wouldn’t dream of expressing.
She makes him work for her submission,but when she calls him Sir,it feels so much better.
The connection he starts to feel with her,is something he didn’t expect,but he likes it.
Chastity is an unique member of Las Palmas,and i really hope to find out what the story is behind her membership somewhere along the line….
She enjoys impact play,so the letter I is going to be fun…..isn’t it?
Only Master Raine doesn’t do what she expected,and the way he handles her makes her feel things she never did before.
At first she felt they weren’t a good match,but when they scened together,it felt só good she called him Sir.
And as they go further,exploring the letter I some more,they both find they want to continue,after it’s done.
Meeting in the real world wasn’t part of the plan though…..
How will it affect their arrangement?
This time,i’m left with a few questions.
Why did Master Leo do what he did?
Why did Chastity need the distance with impact play?
She’s likes it with a whip,crop,or anything else,but a spanking done with a bare hand is too….intimate?
What happened with Master Raine and his ex to make her call him a brute,which in turn led him to feel the need to control himself to that extent?
Overall,i díd enjoy the story,though.
And i am looking forward to the letter J!
This one was so great! Had me laughing hysterically at times and holding my breath in anticipation the next minute! A great mix of two people who just need to be striped of their mental defenses to understand their basic needs. Excellent story!
I really liked these two, and how, in pushing their own boundaries, they found a more settled peace within themselves. A lot of that doesn’t become apparent until nearly the end, when we see them in their real lives, but we get to enjoy being a voyeur on that exploration! Chastity thinks she is one thing, and one thing only, but Alexandre shows her that there is more than one thing to what she likes and who she is. Alexandre in contrast believes he needs to be one way as that is how he will best function, but Chastity pushes him, and he discovers some truths of his own. These two most definitely made a connection while playing together, but, now I want to know about the Master Leo angle, which I suppose, will come up in his book someday…
Definitely loved and feared the letter I . Love the pushing of limits by both sides of Master and Sub these books have and can’t wait to dive into J!!!
Who knew ice could burn so good??!!?? Lila DuBois has done it again with this addition to her BDSM Checklist. Raine and Chastity may seem incompatible in the beginning, but as their relationship grows and develops, they find they really enjoy each others kinks, sassiness, dominance. I loved how this book built, I love a sassy sub. The only draw back for me was Chastity’s insecurities felt forced to add drama. But, I loved the book.
This is the ninth book in the Checklist Series. I have read and loved each previous book in the series, and this one was no exception. It was a bit lighter than the previous book, but it was still intense at times. I loved Chastity and Master Raine. Neither was what the other character was expecting when they were paired in the Alphabet Game. It made for an interesting, though scorching hot, time working through their small “I” list.
Both Chastity and Master Raine were a bit of enigma each in their own way, and the ending was a wonderful surprise. I thought Chastity, in particular, was a breath of fresh air. She wasn’t the typical submissive.
Although each book in this series doesn’t have the typical HEA, they do have a Happy For Now with the hope of a HEA.
I cannot wait for the series to continue!!
No more an improbable match could the overseers have made. Or so it seems. Master Raine is used to a “high protocol” sub and Chastity is definitely not. As they challenge and match each other fulfilling their alphabetic kink list we see glimpses of their real persons. I like that this series reminds us that these could be everyday people going through everyday trials finding peace and self awareness through kink and power exchange. Yes, this tale is sexy to the nth degree but it’s also a thoughtful portrait of people with baggage unloading some of it. And maybe, just maybe finding happiness.
I loved this book! It’s a really well-written, hot and sexy story about a Dom and a sub, strangers to each other, who are paired together in a game at an exclusive BDSM club. Chastity and Alexandre have out of this world chemistry and their mutual respect is evident from the beginning; and even though at first they do not seem suited, they soon discover they are more compatible than they ever imagined.
I really cared about these characters, both of whom are very likable. In fact, they are at the top of the list of favorites of any Dom and sub characters I’ve read previously. This erotic novel with a touch of romance is an awesome read.
I am voluntarily reviewing an advance reader copy of this book.
L Dubois adds another unique story to the BDSM Checklist series with cleverly titillating scenes and fun, witty dialog.
I was puzzled at first trying to figure out these two enigmatic characters. Because I was puzzled, I enjoyed learning who and what they were. They were a unique couple and their BDSM weekend was not without its challenges. They circled and challenged each other like a couple of gladiators in an arena. I really liked them both the more I got to know them. Both Alexandre’s reticence to be a brute and his steel core made him quite likable and charismatic. Chastity’s less than standard submissive attitude coupled with her forthright sassiness were refreshing. Their “I” weekend was compelling.
Once again, Lila Dubois has taken what I thought was going to happen and turned it totally around, making it into something completely different! Throughout this series, I’ve been constantly surprised at the outcomes as well as with the creative…..happenings that occur with each couple in the course of the BDSM game.
Chastity doesn’t seem to feel like she really fits in. She knows she isn’t like other submissives, knows that her actions and beliefs are different. But she needs this place, and what she gets from it.
Master Raine is an enigma. We aren’t given much information on him, other than what his thoughts are about the game. He is revealed to us through his reactions, more so than anything else.
The story of Chastity and Master Raine was interesting. They seemed well matched, despite their initial misgivings about not being each other’s “type”. I loved how much fun they had together, even in the middle of the seriousness that is BDSM. I’ve enjoyed each new book in this series, as well as the surprises that lay within, but I think this is my favorite so far!
