Ryan and Abbie were an absolute delight to read! Ryan is the co-owner of Desire Island, and Abbie has been working there for over a year. Low-key attraction has been simmering between them, but once they act on it, it flares to life. They take time to see if the M/s relationship Ryan wants, and Abbie dreams about, will work for them. It goes better than they could expect, and in-between all that sexiness and submission, they allow their feelings to come into play. Luckily, those line up as perfectly as everything else they share
Ryan has always kept himself apart from the women on the island. Tonight is a reverse auction, auction of doms instead of subs, and Abbie has wrangled enough play dollars to win Ryan. She gives him orders and when the scene is over he leaves without giving her aftercare. She is confused and a little angry as she is very attracted to him, but can’t tell if the feeling us mutual. Abbie goes to talk to him the next morning to find out what the problem is. He is taking vacation and they decide to try a master/slave relationship to see if it will work. A learning curve follows for Annie. You will have to read to see what happens. It is an easy and quick read. I can’t wait for the next installment.
Another wonderful book from one of my favorite authors, I just love all her books. Once I started this I just couldn’t put it down I don’t won’t to ruin the books with spoilers but I absolutely loved this book
Three Strikes, take three – part three. Ryan and Abbie’s journey starts off right where book two leaves off. This is a fantastic read, so hang to your seats and enjoy the ride. This journey is filled with hot sexy scenes with some kink added in for good measure .
Ryan is a joint owner of Desire Island and a master/trainer. He has been looking for the “one” to give his special collar to. However, he has been so busy getting this exclusive resort up and running that he has not seen what has been right in front of him.
Abbie is one of the island slaves and position trainer. She has had her eye on Master Ryan for a long time, but is too shy do anything about it. Abbie has dreamed of being an owned slave. Is Master Ryan the “one” for her?
Master Ryan makes a proposal to Abbie. Spend one week with him at one of the resort’s private cabins for a 24/7 intensive slave training. He gives her a day to think about it and recommends consulting with others. He advises that she doesn’t go into this lightly. Ultimately, Abbie agrees. This is where the fun starts.
Is Abbie the “one” he has been waiting for? Does he have the courage to open himself up to love? Does Abbie possess the courage and grace to truly submit to Master Ryan 24/7? Guess What? You will have to read this book to find out. If you have not read books 1 and 2 in the series, I recommend starting there first. Promise you won’t be disappointed.
Abbie makes you want to give her a hug and help her get her way. She is so sweetly submissive and has wanted Ryan for so long that when she gets the chance you can’t help but hope it works out for her. It took a lot for her to finally open up and bid on her dream dom. I couldn’t help but smile when she gets her dream dom but gives back the power right away. I always enjoy the journey the women take in these stories and how they research what they want and not just jump into something that could potentially be wrong for them. Ryan has to be one of my favorite doms and I really enjoyed the fact he didn’t have a lot of baggage to interfere with his desires. I liked his meeting and remembrance of Miranda. That was a special part of the story for me.
I read and reviewed a copy of this book.
Sexy romance at it’s best.
Sensual intense erotic and sweet it was so so hot. Love the characters Ryan and abbie.
Great read.
Highly recommended!
Book 3 of the Desire Island series gives you co-owner and Master Ryan and house slave Abbie’s story. We knew at the end of Two of a Kind these two were destined to be together. I am constantly amazed that Claire Thompson can capture for be readers the passion and connection in a M/s, D/s, power exchange relationship. The book is well paced, so intense, has sizzling chemistry, and is the perfect addition to the Desire Island series. Super Read!
I received an ARC and this is my honest review.
Who would have even thought that Desire Island could have been any better than the 1st two books, but… Claire Thompson did it with “Three Strikes”. The book does take place on the familiar Island, which kinda gives us that comfort feeling right off the bat. I like that we get to see into the minds of both main characters and what is behind why they who they have become. This is not a long read and I was able to do it during down time at work in two days. Don’t let that fool you into thinking that there is not depth to the story. Ms Thompson knows how to keep your eyes glued to the page and have you wondering just how all could or if things work out. One of the best parts of the authors stories are that she interweaves the back cast of characters along the way to help out with internal struggles of Ryan and Abbie. Another part of the book is how Claire Thompson gives us a insight into the world of BDSM and how it works and not just what you can see on the internet. I give this book an A+ and it makes you, (if you are not already a fan), to read all of her books. I really can’t tell you in words just how wonderful it is to count on an author being consistently great in their writings.
This was a different approach for a Master/slave story from Desire Island because it was Abbie that made the first move because Ryan couldn’t see what everyone else did – his attraction to Abbie. This is not an insta love story but it is a love story and also introduces us to some new characters as well as touching base with some of those we have met already. There are some intense scenes that made me cringe a little, but as they are both in agreement who am I to judge.
I just love Claire Thompson’s books!
Once again the author manages to put us in the characters minds. I suffered with Abbie, always believing that Master Ryan new what was best for his slave. The interaction between them is just heart melting!!
Read it non stop
