After inheriting her sister’s North Carolina lingerie shop, Madison is discovering how delicious it can be to lose control…

thanks to her master’s exquisite skills. Logan is committed to awakening Madison’s long buried desires, and after he shows her the depths of ecstasy they can reach with a little bit of roleplay, he’s ready to take her to the next level.

But when Madison’s old fears resurface, Logan grows wary of pushing her too far too fast. He can sense just how deeply she longs for release from past regrets, but what surprises him the most is the intense yearning his innocent new sub is awakening in him. Now Logan must decide to what lengths he’ll go to convince Madison to give herself over completely…

Madison’s journey continues:

Through open, honest conversation with Logan, combined with a couple of life experiences with customers, Madison is learning to parse through the white noise in her life and get to the substance that is in her heart; to trust it, to trust Logan and to trust herself.

Part of Logan’s therapeutic approach if you will, was to let Madison explore all of her sides, her curiosities about herself, so that she could finally see for herself the true nature of her character, and of her very being. Through a staged exploration of her control-side with Troy as her sub and Logan and Shale as her mentors, she discovered her thoughts and her very being were strongly associated with being Troy, with being in his place at that moment and all moments, and under the command and protection of her Master.

…“You wanted to try the other side, and you enjoyed it.” A rueful look crossed his face. “I won’t say it was enjoyable for me to watch you touch another man, though I did enjoy watching how you had fun with it, the revelations you made. But at a certain point, you crossed the line between fun and something deeper. I saw the click. You not only picked up on the deeper layer of what this means to Troy, but what it means to you. If it was all just fun and games, just a sexual adventure, you could have seen it through to a different end, but you sensed there was something more. And that was what you wanted, wasn’t it?” (p.57, NB-Pt.III-Hill, Joey W.)

And wouldn’t life be all peaches and cream if self-actualization were that easy? Bippity, boppity , boo and you not only are, you like what you are. While a reader can certainly enjoy Logan’s powers of persuasion, they can also identify with Madison’s tenacious, intrinsic self-doubt and the vagaries of finding insight.

As always, Ms. Hill’s characters, their lives and their hardships ring true. There is a core association, a visceral attachment to the feelings and fears that allow a reader to know that behind the fiction, there is also something tangible to take with them.

I’m looking forward to the magic and the conclusion in Part IV.
