Sum It Up! This is the first I have read from Ms. Denys, but I will definitely be looking into her other writings.

 

When submissive Ann misuses her safe word once too often she is told to attend a retraining program. However, the only Master prepared to train her is hard, inflexible Luke, the man she jilted eight years previously.

Dominated by her parents, shy Ann left home because there was something missing in her life she wasn’t getting from her sweet fiancé, as he was then, and is introduced to BDSM.

Shocked to see each other at the club, but stunned at how they’ve both changed, Ann has to be trained by Luke, or leave. It becomes a battle of wills to see who will lose control—the battle being about trust. Can Ann give up control and trust a Master? Can Luke trust Ann not to run away again? The emotional victory for each battle flies back and forth between them. Who will ultimately win? (Goodreads)

Review:

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It is set mainly within a BDSM club and presents several activities which are carefully explained both how and why. Someone curious about BDSM would enjoy what this book has to offer.

I absolutely love both main characters. I admire Ann, and can relate with her very well. She is someone who went with the flow of life, but when it came down to a big decision she knew she wasn’t ready and she took off to find herself. She is someone who wants to be dominated/topped, but not hurt. She has limits and she has a backbone to stick-up for herself. Then Luke enters the scene in all his magnificent sexy power. They are both looking for something, and they find it in each other. She can’t trust any master because they are too rough, he is too rough because he doesn’t care about anyone. The chemistry between them is explosive.

Aside from a few grammar errors the story is very well written, it flows nicely, catches your attention fast, and is very hard to put down. This is the first I have read from Ms. Denys, but I will definitely be looking into her other writings.
