Rule #2: You belong to your Sir.PennyI haven’t submitted for anyone in ten years.Dominating clients has always made me feel safer, even if it isn’t what gets me off.But for a million dollars, I can pretend. I can play the role of fashion god Felix Renaldi’s spoiled, pampered kitten.Only I’m not a wide-eyed submissive anymore. I’ve learned to how to protect myself, made myself hard—the Ice Queen … myself hard—the Ice Queen of Elysium.
I can and will shield my heart, even from the one man who makes it flutter.
Felix
I’ve known Penny since she was eighteen.
I’ve watched her blossom into the exquisite creature she is today.
A hustler who bows to no one. A princess with expensive tastes. A brat in need of a firm hand.
An escort who cannot refuse my offer. Four fashion weeks, just her and me. New York. London. Milan. Paris. One million dollars. One chance to show her she can hustle and submit, speak her mind and kneel at my feet.
She denies it, but I know what she craves.
And I’m going to give it to her.
I’m going to make her scream.

Penelope Bishop knows what it means to be a submissive but she has worked her way to becoming Elysium’s Ice Queen Domme. However, there has been one man, Felix Renaldi, that has been fascinated with her and has finally decided to take what he wants. It all begins with a proposition for Penny to return to her roots and be with him while he deals with his fashion line at fashion week around the globe. Is Penny willing to take Felix up on his offer? Will she turn down the most lucrative offer that she has ever received? Is Felix the man to tame the Ice Queen? The second book in the Unbowed Novels series brings the heat and packs a gut punch as the reader digests this combustible storyline that takes one on a wild ride like that of a tempest. The characters come off as authentic and real while giving a glimpse into the lifestyle. This is one book you should read for yourself. I volunteered to read a copy of this book.
I loved Felix and his need to have Penny submit but not only for his desire but for hers. He knows she’s a sub and his mission is to make her see she can be both a sub and still have her own mind and control. I loved reading the story and the growth Penny goes through as she lets her walls crumble around Felix. Even if she didn’t realize it at first, he’s exactly what she needed.
Her Dom’s determination
—>>> Nicknamed as Elysium’s Ice Queen Domme, Penelope Bishop has been ruling this elite Manhattan fetish club for a decade now. But enough is enough. Fellow Dom Felix Renaldi, also aristocratic playboy/fashion designer is now ready to step up and claim this woman he has watched mature and morph into an unreachable persona. He has the perfect offer for her, a staggering amount of money to work for him during his multinational tour of Fashion Week. BUT not in the Domme capacity…as a sub and his escort. What is a girl to do when her dream job and payoff drops into her lap? And even if Penny has not ever scened with Felix and has not played the submissive since she has been a professional Dominatrix?
Brick by brick, Felix proceeds with utmost patience, passion, and care, drawing his Penny out of her hard, protective shell, and in doing so, releases her from a past she has kept buried deep within for way too long. Felix knows that in order to reach her, the real her, he will need to earn her complete trust as well as be able to tap into and deliver the kinks which will give her the ultimate pleasure at his hands.
“A Dominant’s job, however, was to confidently steer his submissive through all situations, especially the uncomfortable ones. We were a guiding hand, rough at times, gentle the rest, and if I couldn’t get us to a place of mutual satisfaction, then I had failed as Penelope’s Dom. Period.
And Renaldi men did not fail.”
Felix has his work cut out for him for the next month to spoil her and convince her she belongs with him. A fantastic story to follow on from Belle’s, along with a tag-along tour with this couture king and its fashion-world twists of drama and suspense!
Second in the series. I enjoyed it just as much as the first one. Penny had her different tastes and Felix was such a gentle counterpart for most of the time. He knew what he wanted out of the relationship from the start and worked to achieve that. Watching Penny move from defensive to more intimate was worth the read. I recommend this story as long as you like submission/domination and hot steamy scenes.
I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
Wow!! What a story! Greatness seldom stands out in a story. It sure did in this one! Two stubborn attracted to each other for years and neither one ready to take that chance. Until A million dollars for one month. This read has it all! I actually felt some deep feelings for this couple.

An honest review
Felix and Penny are great big scorching flames wrapped up in more emotion than they know what to do with. Okay, more emotion than Penny knows what to do with. Felix is a man who knows exactly what he wants, he just has to break down a few walls to get there. I don’t pretend to know anything about Penny’s particular brand of kink, and I can’t say that I understand it, but that didn’t keep me from thoroughly enjoying this couple’s journey. Penny and Felix are just so good together, and the chemistry is off the charts. These two had my heart from the beginning – Felix with his determination, and Penny with her spunk. Both have some demons to overcome, and we even get a bit of mystery as someone works to tear them apart, but my absolute favorite thing about this one was how the romance progressed bit by bit, the way Felix kept chipping away at the walls Penny had built up to protect herself. Oh, wait! That was pretty much the whole thing from start to finish, so I guess that says it all, doesn’t it? This second Unbowed novel gives us a fabulous couple, lots of steamy goodness with a bit of kink, and a romance with heart, and Liz Meldon wraps it all up in a pretty little bow that’s impossible to put down. I don’t know if the author has more books lined up for this world, but if any future couples are as terrific as this one, I’m all in.
Why has this author been missing from my life? I have been very remiss in my choices it appears!
Penny is a well written, intense, character driven book which explores love, patience, repressed pasts, a world which challenges norms, and the glittering world of high fashion.
Penny and Felix are beautifully drawn and explored characters, whose relationship is given depth and interest through the intelligent dialogue and thoughtfulness with which they are created. I absolutely love them both.
This has been my first read by Liz Meldon and I am incredibly pleased to see that I have many treats in store from her library.
Excellent read
Liz Meldon has proven in her Unbowed Novels that she has total mastery of erotic romance. As for Penny, Book 2, in the series, it’s quite simple: if you liked Belle (Book 1, separately reviewed), you’ll love this book. If you haven’t read Book 1 then you’ve missed something great if you like this genre at all, though these books can be read on a total standalone basis. I’ll make it even simpler: if you’ve any interest in erotic romance then you simply must get Penny. It’s that good (and, of course, highly recommended).
Penny is book two in the ‘Unbowed’ series by Liz Meldon. It looks at the characters Penny, a born submissive who works as an escort/Domme and although she says she’s happy, you certainly get the feeling that she isn’t and she’s missing something. Enter Felix, Dom, friend and Fashion guru who proposes that Penny become his submissive whilst Fashion Weeks around the world go on. Felix has been in love with Penny for years but has kept his distance knowing some but not all of her past and how shaky she can be. Here in lies the problem, for Felix to make Penny submit, he’ll have to help her get out of her head which is easier said than done.
This book was fast paced from beginning to end as you were genuinely rooting for the characters. There were some scenes which were quite heart-breaking when you find out about what has happened to Penny and how she thinks she has moved on. The interplay between her and Felix is at times quite funny, but full of passion, kink and friendship. There are certainly times where Penny is a brat and Felix put her in her place. Some scenes were interesting for me as a reader as although I have read books based on BDSM before there were a few new surprises in this book which I found entertaining, sexy and hot to read!
I also liked that this book had a story, it wasn’t just all about the sexy scenes, but also Felix and Penny’s relationship as well as giving us a glimpse into the world of fashion which was entertaining. Felix for me, was a great character and he had a lot to give and knew just how to push Penny into becoming a better more accepting person of herself.
This book certainly looks at how different types of love can be expressed, how the past can trigger events in your life and how you need people in your corner to help you along the way. This book was erotic, steamy, romantic and wonderful to read! A must for all romance, kink fans.

This is the 2nd novel in this series and is Penny and Felix’s tale. This is an emotional journey of self discovers, and how Felix will go to whatever lengths possible to give Penny what she needs. This is a beautifully written story which is intense, intriguing, erotic, and with relatable characters which lead to a steamy and all-consuming read. I recommend for all and look forward to reading more from this talented author.
