Love. Lust. Limits.Sir Simeon Harvey has realized his lifelong ambition: to build a resort on a private island off the Australian coast. At last Nox Oasis, with its grand apartments, exclusive membership, and very own theme park, is opening its doors to guests for the first time. George and Faye have been especially invited by Sir Simeon himself to celebrate the official opening. Having lost the … official opening. Having lost the spark in their marriage, they hope to rediscover their one time passion. What they don’t expect is for Simeon to make them an offer they can’t refuse.
Hazel Jenkins can’t believe her luck when she lands the plum job as head receptionist for the Oasis. While she has no experience in the lifestyle herself, she’s fascinated by the whole idea.
Her initiation into Sir Simeon’s world is as shocking as it is arousing, and when she meets his godson, Dain Wilcott, the handsome American Dom, she knows just whom she wants to explore her kinky side with.
The question is, does he feel the same way about her?

Wow, did I ever love this book! An Amusement Park for kinksters on a private island off the coast of Australia is an amazing fantasy. The owner is Sir Simeon who resides on the top floor of the Twisted Tower building. His opening is attended by investors and many kinksters well known to him along with friends, George and Faye, a married couple that is experiencing problems with life, work and marriage. In need of top notch help to work the resort and make it all run smoothly, he has hired a new receptionist and brought in his godson, Dain to take some of the pressure off Hazel the receptionist that was also filling in as Sir Simeon’s PA. Dain is now the PA and was warned off of giving attention to Hazel as she is an excellent worker and Simeon did not want to lose her. Dain is a notorious womanizer, love’m and leave’m type. Of course there is a strong attraction between Dain and Hazel. There is also the couple that is struggling after George lost work and his wife Faye picked up the slack by providing for the house- hold. Stress and tension is killing their D/s relationship as Faye is too tired after working so hard and finds it hard to submit to her husband when she isn’t working. George is also struggling with his dominant/masculinity with being a “kept man.” There is a lot of interesting distractions at the BDSM resort, and new discoveries to be had by just about everyone in attendance.
I thouroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more about this Adult Playground and all who attend it’s attractions.
This is a great start to a new series. Tabitha Black’s come up with a playground that a lot of people would like to play on.
Sir Simeon is tired of judgemental people being judgemental about people who practice BDSM. He wants to make sure that people in the lifestyle have a safe place where they can come play, visit, relax, and just be. So, he bought an island in Australia and built a BDSM resort where people of all kinks can come and not be judged.
This book focuses on the opening days of the resort. It also primarily focuses on George and Fay, Hazel, and Dain. Sir Simeon is always there, like a puppet master, even if you don’t see him, you know that he’s there.
In those 4 people, you have people who are trying to get their marriage and their D/s relationship back online, someone who hasn’t ever tried kink but is really turned on by it, and someone who had to come some place safe.
It’s really interesting to see everything that happens in the back of the house in setting up the resort. But, that’s not nearly as interesting as watching the byplay between all the characters. There are so many levels going on and that’s without the kink aspect that is in here. The relationships are what makes up the cake and the kink is definitely the icing. You can’t have one without the other but together, they are just perfect.
I’m looking forward to seeing how the rest of the series plays out and how new characters will add to everything.
welcome to the Playground 5 SILVER HANDCUFFS
What if she hated it? What if it really hurt? Well, there’s a first time for everything. Simeon’s Purgatory Playground. Be still my flaming loins. How could I have got so lucky? Come here, sweetheart, let me look at you. How *do* I reconcile my kinky side with my work side? Easy. I don’t have a kinky side. WHOA BABY! WHEW! Talk about one helluva fantastically written, hot, smutty, funny, amazing, hot, creative SEXCELLENT book!! Did I mention that it is hot? In ALL of the right ways! I ABSO-EFFEN-LUTELY love, Love, LOVED it and cannot wait to keep reading my way through this SPANKELICIOUS series! Which I am sure will happen sooner than later as I have no restraint at all! wink This is my first Tabitha Black book so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I definitely DID NOT expect to be so thoroughly enraptured by it, to fall for and feel for the complex characters and the various “situations” they found themselves in, to be so caught up in their lives, in their stories, that I became them, completely consumed by ALL OF IT! I love that we get to know the people, become them, just as much outside of the play as in it! Adds that extra something that takes it beyond being “just another BDSM book”, because I guaran-damn-tee you that this is any and everything BUT that! I have read quite a few different authors who have written BDSM, but Tabitha’s book is more personal, more real, just MORE! It’s hard to define, but let’s just say that I connected to Hazel immediately because we are similar in a lot of ways, so that connection added more enrichment, deeply enhancing the “full reading experience”, captivating me from the very beginning to the very not-quite-an-ending end that came all too soon!! To say that I immensely enjoyed Sir Simeon, Faye, George, Sir Dain, Hazel and the whole Empire, is putting it mildly!! Now enough reviewing, I have too much of His Empire to still discover, revel & delight in!! Or at least I will, once Tabitha has written them!! Oh the horrors of having to wait to continue my indoctrinating to this delectable lifestyle on this SPANKTACULAR island! I have never been known for being patient… So spank me! Please Sir?
