Janey Chan knows Joe Green is the Dom for her, if only she could convince him. They could be perfect together, but all he can see is a playful sub who gets into all sorts of jams trying to help her friends. Janey knows that Master Joe could take her submission to the next level. She just needs to show him she’s not the sub-lite that he thinks she is. Janey has never been as serious about … exploring her submission as she is when Master Joe Green is in the room.
Joe Green is a Dom who only ever plays on short-term contracts. Remembering lessons from his painful childhood, he doesn’t believe he has anything to offer a woman other than a few hot scenes and aftercare. Master Joe keeps all his liaisons at The Cage short and sweet, giving the subs orgasms they never forget, while keeping his heart untouched. This ex-army soldier now working private security believes he is as happy as fate will allow. And Janey, soft and sweet as she is, is not touch enough for his hard Dominant core.
When the opportunity arises for Janey to spend time with Joe, in search of Master Lovett, Janey’s old boss, she jumps at the chance to prove to him that she’s not the softie he thinks she is. Can she convince Master Joe that they belong together, or will Master Joe scare her away for good?

Janey’s long had a crush on Master Joe, but he’s rejected her offers to play many times. So when her boss asks her and Joe to go on a mission to find a missing fellow Master, Janey knows it will be awful to be in such close confines with a man who wants nothing to do with her. Or is that actually the case? Perhaps Joe longs for Janey as much as she longs for him, but has demons that will not let anyone become close to him.
This is a well-written story and both characters were obviously into each other from the get go. I can’t say I really liked Joe, but I loved Janey and how she always stood up and tried to do the right thing for herself and others. I like how big her heart was and how she mouthed off when she felt necessary. A woman after my own heart 🙂 I wanted a lot more groveling on Joe’s part at the end, but aside from that, I really liked this story. I’m looking forward to more in this series.
I loved this book! Janey and Master Joe have a wonderful tale to tell. Highs, lows, heat, sex, happily ever after. This series had me feeling every emotion possible. Oh what an awesome read! Thank you P Nelson!! Wow!!!!
I received an advanced reader copy. I am voluntarily leaving a review. This is Janey and Master Joe’s book. Janey has wanted to scene with Master Joe for forever, but he hasn’t returned her interest. She is asked to assist Master Joe in locating the only person Master Flynn and Calla want to perform their collaring ceremony. Only problem is, he doesn’t want to be found. This book is full of fun, adventure and of course, steam. A strong 4.5 star read!
Yay for more of The Cage! I love this series so much and I hope it continues forever. I check constantly for the pre-release dates of P Nelson’s books and break into my happy dance for every release. I can’t recommend this series enough! I think the books are best read in order, but this one could probably be enjoyed either way. I’m not recommending that, though.I fell in love with Joe and Janey as a couple from the very beginning. Janey is so honest about being a sub, and how much she wants to be Joe’s sub, that I sometimes wanted to smack Joe for being an idiot. Joe is very stubborn and plays his cards close to his chest. Janey is a lot more open, and in some ways seemed stronger than Joe. I loved that she wasn’t loud or aggressive, but she still had this powerful cor of not backing down. The relationship between them is one of tenderness and passion, and there are a lot of sexy moments. I loved that the story took place away from The Cage because it made Janey seem even more vulnerable showcased that iron will in a way that tugged at my heartstrings. Another thing I loved was that even though the sense of danger that played such a role in the rest of the series wasn’t as prominent there is still a mystery to solve and questions to be answered. I loved the pace the romance took, the playfulness of the two of them together, and the scorching moments of intense passion.
P Nelson has created a wonderful world that is full of characters that have become friends. The heat, humor, excitement, and HEA are everything I desire in a book and I’m anxiously waiting for the next one.
Book 7 in The Dom’s of The Cage series. Can be read and enjoyed as standalone. Full length told in dual POV with HEA. Secondary characters are the same throughout the series. The Cage is a BDSM club, but little of this book takes place in the club. Joe & Janey both work and play at the club but never with each other. I liked that most of the book they were travelling together, just the two of them, so they really got to know one another as well as themselves. Detailed story-line keeps your interest and plenty of steamy times too. I loved this book and I love this series! I would highly recommend!
A playful perspective
Play Me Close by P Nelson is the latest installment in The Don’t of The Cage series and is a wonderful shift from the serious and suspenseful plots of this series. I have enjoyed and devoured the series and this one is no exception. Master Joe and Janey are masterfully developed. These two are just awesome and utterly combustible together. Sparks fly, chemistry ignites and continuously builds throughout their road trip adventure.
Despite the seriousness of their contract, Janey brings out a side of Master Joe he never thought he had.
Overall a great HEA BDSM read with plenty of heat, heart and humor that will leave you flushed, breathless and a smile on your face.
I read an ARC of this book from Hidden Gems and voluntarily share my review.
