Skylar is a beautiful independent submissive whom decides to submit to the 24/7 BDSM on Desire Island. Master Caelan is assigned to train Skylar. Once they meet their combined chemistry triggers a bond and connection which neither thought possible.
Wow! This story was thought provoking read. There were also some intense scenes that I actually started reading faster wondering how it was going to play out. I was so engrossed that the pages flew by in this erotica with edgy play.
Great cover and title it fits this story perfectly.
Desire Island, Wow what a place to get to go………Loved Master Caelan from the get go…….Skylar was a likable character after meeting Master Caelan and letting go……of the “oh poor me” attitude. I enjoyed all of the characters from this story and hope to read more from Desire Island………as always Claire writes a book that totally sucks you in and before you know it your done, and loved every word. No cliff hanger on this short sweet read.
One of the best parts of this story is the connection Skylar and Caelan make. Not just the physical but the spirtual one that makes them so in tune with each other. I love how D/s relationships thrive on the caring and open communication that lets each one get what they need from each other. Skylar is so used to topping from the bottom that when she lets go she learns to fly and become who she was meant to be.
I read and reviewed a copy of this book.
Skylar is treading through life and not really living. Can she break this streak or will the rut continue? While at her favorite BDSM club she buys a raffle ticket and wins the training session of a lifetime. Will she learn about herself and what she truly wants or will she Top from the Bottom as she always does? Sir Calean is definitely up for the challenge and sparks erupt upon first meeting. Hot, steamy read with heart.
In spite of the fact this is a BDSM story, there was such a sweet feeling to it. Well written characters and storyline as always with Claire. It is about Skylar and her journey to find out more about herself and her mixed reactions to BDSM. She is interested but not sure she is really a submissive. As fate would have it, she wins a free week to Desire Island, which is a new and highly sought after place for BDSM practitioners. Packages range from barely dip your toes to a fully submersive experience. She is encouraged by her friend, who is in a M/s relationship to grab all the experience she can, so she signs up for the full package. So let the experience begin. It felt like being there. We are learning and experiencing it all through her eyes, and what an experience it is for her. The Dom assigned to her is Caelan, who finds himself unusually attracted to his student. Their journey is perfectly detailed and excellently presented. I can see many more journeys to read about taking place on this island.
A wonderful story – Skylar wins a week at an island BDSM resort, and her trainer, Caelen, is like a dream come true. They had bonded over the phone prior to her visit, and after she arrived and they began to work together, the trainer-trainee relationship became something else. The process they went through and the experiences she had as she learned more about BDSM make for a fast-paced, enjoyable and upbeat story. Both characters are strong and interesting, and the conclusion makes good sense. I received a free copy of this book via Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving a review.
One True Master is the first book in an exciting new series by Claire Thompson. Once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The series is based on Desire Island, a BDSM resort, where the participants can play out their darkest fantasies.
Follow Skylar’s journey to finding her true master. She wins a week on Desire Island to undergo full immersion of submissive training. Is she able to embrace this training to find her submissive grace or does she bale before the week ends?
Caelan is a trainer and the resident physician on Desire Island. He connected with Skylar on their video chats and is looking forward to training her. Caelan has not found the one yet, but is hopeful.
Does Skylar find her One True Master? Is Caelan able to overcome his strong attraction to Skylar so he can continue to train her? Or is he forced to hand her off to another trainer? You will have to read this book for yourself to find out.
Search your heart for your deepest darkest fantasy and take the ride of your life to Desire Island. Seriously, you won’t be disappointed. So buy this book and join me on this incredible journey. Claire Thompson, I can’t wait for book 2 in this series. Thank-you for another excellent book.
Skylar and Caelan were perfect together in this story! There was a definite subtly to their attraction, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t strong. Both of them kind of knew what they wanted in a partner, but didn’t really define it, they just knew when they met, that it was the other. Trouble is, neither thought the other felt the same way. Luckily, they figure out what those around them already saw, that they meshed together perfectly, and their feelings were right there to be explored. Loved this novella and can’t wait for more in this series!
Skyla wins a drawing for a week’s vacation at a new island BDSM club. She gets to pick whatever package she wants and her friends convince her to go for the 24 /7 master/slave pkg. They know she has been unhappy with the encounters at the clubs. She gets so much more than she expected. This is a nice short story that goes fast and leaves you wanting the next in the series.
I really enjoyed this story. The journey these two characters take is emotional, sexy and so fabulous. Skylar learned so much about herself during her stay on the island and Master Caelan was so perfect for her. If you like well written BDSM this is the story for you.
This was a sweet story about love at first sight and the dynamic between a slave and master. It reminded me of ‘The Compound’ series but a little less intense.
If Desire Island was real I am sure it would be booked ahead for years. To be lucky enough like Skylar to win a week’s vacation would me many people’s dream. I didn’t immediately warm to Skylar, she seemed a bit ‘poor little me’, but once she truly submitted to Caelan she became likable – a testament to Caelan’s abilities. All of the characters on Desire Island are enjoyable and I look forward to reading about them.
Skyler is unhappy with her job. Even though she is part of a BDSM club, she is tired of the “wanna be” doms who just don’t have what it takes to be a good dom.. She wants more but just can’t find it. After buying a raffle ticket at the club fundraiser, she wins a trip to Desire Island where her BDSM dreams can hopefully come true. Upon arrival, she meets Caelan who is to be her trainer for the week. Will he meet her expectations? Can he overcome her “top from the bottom” attitude? What will she learn?
This book had more of a love story than the other books I have read by Claire Thompson. I would have preferred a little more of the physical side of the relationship instead of the love side. However, it was a good read and I didn’t want to put it down. I actually re-read it again as soon as I finished it. I am looking forward to more books in this series.
Claire Thompson does it again with another great story of the journey of Skylar and Master Caelan. Skylar embarks on a journey to find out what it really means to become a true submissive. When she meets Master Caelan the sparks fly! This book is not an intense read but a sweet romance with steam. All of the characters on Desire Island are great and I can’t wait to read more about them and what happens on the island. If you want a steamy romance with steam this book is definitely for you. Well done Claire!
