Well Done Author Kailee Reese Samuels on a Sensational Read!!!
I really loved this bookwish there was a second.e,citing,sexy,and!I’ve the idea of the school to bring it into real life
Interesting and Intense!
At the beginning I thought I was reading a very lovely love story but then somehow the story took some huge twists and turns and I was thrown into a fascinating and intense BDSM love story. It was really interesting how the author knew just how to make you fall in love with her main characters but also hate them at the same time.
This story is like an onion, every time the author slowly peels back a layer of the story a new more fascinating layer appears and she hasn’t even gotten to the middle of the onion yet as this story keeps evolving and growing!
There is so much more to Sal and Iris (and all the other incredible players). I can’t wait to see how things evolve in each and everyone of these remarkable characters lives.
I could not put this book down! It had me laughing, crying, and getting angry along with the characters. This book took me on a ride that I never wanted to end!!!! Great work!!!!
enjoyable!
The world I was introduced to reading Juliet is by far the best thing I didn’t know I was missing in my life. By far THE BEST characters and fictional world and I would love to be a fly on Kailee’s wall in her writing crave.
Well written and provocative.
This was a newly discovered author for me, and after reading blurbs and teasers, I decided to go all in!!! I’m reading them all, as I have to learn more, the characters jump out of the pages at you and you laugh with them, get shocked or surprised, oh yes, definitely get angry!! This story starts out with a young girl and teacher, he’s a widow and she has no clue about life or emotions really. They build their friendship and over time, feelings develop, Iris is so naive and Chance seems unsure with her. But after life and separation she finds him and they get married and build a life…. Until, she hears of an accident, Chance was in the military and wouldn’t be coming home. Therein the REAL journey begins, she is left a box, clues inside, numbers and address, which leads her to Sugargrove and a great cast of characters.. She’s grieving, but trying to manage and figure out why she was there, what did it all mean to Chance? She’s taking under someones wings and is taken to an “special” party. There our Iris will meet Sal… Holy hotness!! The bond with them is so strong and at times, they see each other as best friends, but throughout the whole story here the can feel and hear the attraction between them.. But this journey IS NOT gentle, Sal is the golden boy, the super sub, but is he truly? You see a Dominant come out at times, especially with Iris, but that man has some emotional baggage.. he needs the attention, the love, the pain and he goes from woman to woman, getting what he needs, till even that isn’t working Now Iris will have so much to work thru and at some heartbreaking moments it’s Sal that is there for her. She heals and explores and tries to find herself, and boy is there quite a few that want to help her along.. You will want to slap both Sal and Iris at times, they can be so vicious and cruel to each other, then run to the other because they cant stand the thought of not being together. You will love so many of Kailee Reese Samuels characters, she has written so many layers to them, and things are very rarely as they seem, as many mistakes some of them make, friendship and loyalty will be tested, there is such a sense of family. And OMG… Jack, I want more, his back story, his future, to see if he finds the one that can take and accept him! Towards the end of Juliet I was screaming at Iris and Sal, why??? You’ll have to read to find out! I’m thankful I came across this author and her fabulous take on a story that is emotional, twisted, occasional dark ( be warned, the Initiation is exactly what it is) a journey of several souls who are discovering who they truly want to be and the journey it will take, I can only hope more of this is not far off. Wonderful writing of a story that isn’t explored enough!!!
OMG Kailee won me over with this amazing place she has created! I fell in Love with all of the amazing characters in this book. This is one of the Best BDMS books I have ever read. Iris is a girl after my own heart !
This book had a lot going on. It starts with Iris losing her husband of 8 years then getting a key to a house in Sugargrove, TX. So she packs up her life and moves down there to discover her husband’s hidden secrets. This story is told in a 3rd person narrative and bounces around between a lot of characters. Not so many that you’re lost, but enough to get a good handle on the character’s emotions and reasons behind their actions. It mostly follows Iris and how she handles her husband’s secrets. It then morphs to a story about her and Sal and exploring her sexuality. I feel like about 1/2 way through the story, we lose Iris and focus more on the other characters to an extent that I didn’t connect with Iris’ reasons for her actions and just kind of viewed her as a super slut screwing everything to try and get back at Sal for also screwing everything.
I think the story kept going in circles at a point- Sal wanting Iris, Iris wanting Sal, all the women wanting Sal and all the men wanting Iris and their relationship not going anywhere. I would like to see some growth from these characters as they obviously belong to each other. I wanted to bash my Nook when they wouldn’t just tell each other how they feel!
On that note, there was A LOT of “I’m in love with you” between all the women and Sal- both parties saying it. Really? How can 1 dude be “in love” with multiple women and yet only TRULY be “in love” with Iris? It was hard for me to believe that Sal really loves Iris and isn’t just drawn to their explosive chemistry.
Then in the last 1/3 of the book, we find out a huge bomb about Iris, Chance, Sal, and Jack- but not quite enough to really know what’s going on. I kind of felt like it was thrown in for the sake of it, but hopefully if there’s another book, it delves more into that portion of it.
This book does kinda end in a cliffhanger- both characters going off to better themselves with the hopes of being whole for each other.
All in all, I really enjoyed all the facets of the story- there was mystery, emotion (I cried a few times), and LOTS of sex. I can’t wait for the next book!
I received an ARC for my honest review
Sometimes you cant judge a book by its cover. When I first saw the cover I didnt think it would be something that I was interested in reading. Then I noticed the name and well I knew that I had to look at this book more. Then I read the blurb and thought okay this should be a pretty good read. Man, was I wrong. This was a f*** awesome read from a new to me author. Just when I thought that I was going to be getting the same story about BDSM it turned on me and grabbed me by the collar and wouldnt let go. Our main girl Iris is the focus of the story and her journey into self exploration and finding her sexuality. I love that there are many characters that I get to know and they have their on POV take on things that are happening in the book. I think with this being such a big read with the amount of characters in it we might be looking at a possible series here
This was a long story but I loved it. I got to know the love story of Sal and Iris and it was explosive and heartfelt. I hope in the next book they find the love they have for each other. I loved everything about this book!!!
Juliet is about a naive Iris and her journey after the death of her husband that leads her to Texas where she discovers the bdsm world of Juliet and self discovery. Her story is heartbreaking.
Sal is such a delicious and wicked bad boy. He put the K in kink. He is mischievous in a sexual way and his charm will make you swoon. He feels something for Iris that he hasn’t felt in a long time. He feels the need to save Iris.
Even though these two lost and broken souls who have a connection, they end up breaking each other’s heart only to mend it back.
I’ve been enthralled with this author’s books for a while. After reading her first four books, The Initiation, Tea for Two, Grunt and Hopechest, I knew I was hooked!
Ms. Samuels will captivate you with her dark and wicked stories that will blow you out of the water, leave you speechless at times, yearning to be with sexy, delicious Sal and fulfilling some of your kinky secret desires. She has a way of making you feel as though you are part of Sal’s circle of friends. You will laugh and cry with them. At times you want to throw your kindle.
If you enjoy dark, twisted, suspense, mystery, explosive, jaw dropping and wet panties then her books are for you.
I highly recommend Ms Samuels books!
Iris is a devestated widow who finds, after the death of her husband, a key left for her. Because of this mystery, she sets off for Sugargrive, Texas, the home of the school for submissives and doms named Juliet. It is here where Iris meets Salvatore Raniero (our sigh worthy hero), the man who will always hold a piece of her heart and she will always hold a piece of his. This book shares a part of their journey.
This book creates an entire world, in depth and complexity. This world is made up of societal “misfits” who create a family. This world is made up of beauty, eroticism, joy and heartbreak. This is not a short read, but then it just couldn’t be in order to deliver the extraordinary experience it gives. Highly recommended.
This is my first book by this author and I have to say it’s a long read so be prepared to be reading it for a few days it took me 4 days to read this sucker.
Story starts with iris and chance and their relationship and how it develops with him being way older than her and her teacher they marry and live happy till he goes on a evac being in the military. So when iris gets the call saying he is dead she grieves for him.
Sorting through his things she finds out something that shakes her to the core and this is where she ends up In sugargrove and at an academy called Juliet, a school for people who practice bdsm. This is where she meets sal who is a sub but wants to train as a dom. The back and forth between these two is infuriating.
As the story unfolds you get to delve in the minds of many characters as this story is told my many pov’s.
All in all it’s a great book and the cliffhanger at the end just gets you screaming at your Kindle beware you might need tissues I know I did .
This story was very different from other books I have read. I thought I had posted a review initially only to find out I did not. This book had me feeling a lot of emotions that I was not completely ready for. I absolutely love Sal and Iris and did not think I necessarily would. It had a lot of the twists and turns that had me loving every minute. This darker read is definitely worth it and I would recommend.
Iris and Sal keep dancing around each other. The attraction is there but their actions keep getting in the way. Chance I suspect is still alive and is pulling strings. I can’t wait to read book two.
The characters in this book are very different from each other and make it extremely good reading. I am interested in BDSM and find this a very informative and educational book. I like how the author includes so many twists In the storyline.

“More than words”
There are fabulous stories, and stories that will consume you. Juliet definitely is one of these all-consuming books. Welcome to Sugargrove, open the doors of the Juliet BDSM Academy and explore a world of fantasies through the eyes of Sal and Iris.
I’ve been curious about this book since I started reading this author’s work, now I know it will remain at the top of my KRS shelf.
The astounding realism of the characters’ psychological journey is truly and experience in itself. As Iris decided to take a chance at something different, forbidden and delicious after her husband passed, she showed a strength and a fight I absolutely loved. Sal’s scarred soul captivated me. He infuriated me and at the same time I cried with him and succumbed to his hypnotic charm. To watch him grow into a dominant and struggle with his emotions, dancing that intense, intimate, raw and heartwrenching tango with Iris touched me.
“Because you should give your submission to someone who is in love with you. And that isn’t me.”
That is an epic love story, the range of emotions immersed me in this intriguing world. From loneliness to sorrow, from love to hate, guilt, shame, lust, and vulnerabiltily, the emotional rollercoaster sent me reeling.
“Love does leave, but you only leave the love if you run away.”
Through a delicious atmosphere, a poetic style, Juliet is a story about characters finding themselves, and each other. This is a long book, a masterpiece composed by multiple works of art. Every party or scene is a piece, colorful and intense, vibrant with sensations and emotions, painting a sublime erotic visual.
But beyond this journey, you’ll also discover, in true Kailee Reese Samuel’s fashion, that everything runs deeper than you thought.
This book is brilliant, let yourself be caught up in its whirlwind, you wont regret it!
