I received a copy of this book via the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is an interesting romance with a D/s twist to it.
Amelia is totally caught off-guard when her boss sends her out to do some personal shopping for him… but she’s not necessarily opposed to what her brand new boss, Cade is offering when he explains. She’s actually quite intrigued but doesn’t know what to do because she has a surprise of her own for him.
This storyline is slightly different from the usual BDSM stories and I really enjoyed it. The characters are really well defined and there are several plot twists that will keep you on your toes. And you have to keep in mind, who Amelia is… she’s a rather naive and yet, driven, young woman entering the workforce and life, pretty much, for the first time. Cade thinks he knows what he wants until he gets to know Amelia and then he learns how love enters the mix.
This was a great book!
Becca Jameson is a new author to me, but I really enjoyed this whole series.
3 stars is a good review from me. I rarely give 4 stars, and can’t remember the last time I gave 5; I reserve that for exceptional reads, the ones I’d read again. I enjoyed this.
The Rules by Becca Jameson is the First book in the Claiming Her Series. This is the story of Amelia Kensington and Cade Alexander.
Amelia knows starting from the bottom in a company won’t be easy but she willing to put her time in. But what she didn’t expect is for the hot boss to distract her with his hot self.
Cade is a Dom who knows when he meets a submissive and that is totally Amelia their new employee. Cade works to bring her into his world but she might be a submissive but she is a strong women too.
This was a hot, quick easy read.
I liked this book. It took me a little bit to get into it, but once I got into it, I was hooked.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest
Cade can’t wait to show Amelia his world.
Amelia is not sure if she want to know Cade’s world.
Let the games begin!
The storytelling + the character’s build were awesome!
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in the series!
One thing about Becca’s Dominants, they are Alpha to the max and Cade is quite arrogant to boot. More than once I wanted to smack him, and tell him to be more subtle, ease into this relationship not plow into it.
Amelia on the other hand may be submissive, but she is also very naïve with regard to the lifestyle. Which makes this all the more amusing and frustrating.
As Amelia learns about the lifestyle and Cade exerts his dominance, she does find that ultimately she has all the power.
While I may not agree with the way Cade went about things, it did make for an interesting, amusing and sexy read.
This is what I would consider a “sleeper story.” It starts out slow and steady and doesn’t heat up until about half way though, but once it does it because this amazing story.
Amelia is a dedicated and smart woman on a mission to reach her goals. She is on track and ready for the future until she meets Cade, her new boss. Amelia learns more about herself then even she thought capable and Cade is the man that shows her. Cade is a typical story alpha in that when he decides something is his he stops a nothing to get it and in this case that is Amelia. I loved the built up of their relationship, the push and pull. The steamy scenes were worth the wait and I loved how the story turned out. I received an ARC and am leaving an honest review.
Cade Alexander: gorgeous, successful, forceful and Dominant. A man who sees what he wants and he gets it. In his sights? Amelia Kensington: fresh out of school with an MBA, beautiful, naive, innocent and submissive . Cade sees her on the first day of her new job at Alexander Technologies and he wants her. Refusing to take no for an answer, Cade methodically breaks down all of Amelia’s objections to their having a relationship. She quickly learns the Dom has many rules for her to abide by. Things move along, happily until they don’t. A surprise visitor to Cade’s home sends Amelia reeling. She literally disappears from Cade’s life.
When he finally finds Amelia five months later he tries to steamroll her once again but she’s not having it. She’s not the naive little sub she was before. After learning the truth from Cade she agrees to be his again but this time she has rules. If he wants to be with her he will have to accept them. The rules work in both their favor and they get their HEA.
