Book One in the Pleasure Inn Series
This book contains mature and graphic sexual content.
USA Today Bestselling Author Ella Jade has been writing for as long as she can remember. As a child, she often had a notebook and pen with her, and now as an adult, the laptop is never far. The plots and dialogue have always played out in her head, but she never knew what to do with them. That all changed when she discovered the eBook industry. She started penning novels at a rapid pace and now she can’t be stopped.
Ella resides in New Jersey with her husband, two boys and two feisty Chihuahuas named Roxie and Macy. She can often be found creating sexy, domineering men and the strong women who know how to challenge them in and out of the bedroom. She hopes you’ll get lost in her words.
It was a very meh read for me. All the elements were there to make this a quick and steamy read, but something was missing and I can't quite put my finger on it. There was plenty of hot scenes, but for me they were just words with zero emotion. I've seen other reviews and know for some this book hit the "spot", but it left me high and dry. ;)
Elyse’s life has taken a turn for the worse. Desperately seeking some way to escape her nightmare of a life, she seeks out an Inn she used to holiday at with her family when she was young. Drawn by happy memories, she finds something else entirely.
Logan—yum—now owns the Inn, a penance for his past behaviour and he isn’t interested in that or anything really, until Elyse shows up on his doorstep. He’s spent so long chasing the bottom of a bottle to forget his past sins he’s lost the will for anything. Elyse stays with him and helps bring him back from the abyss, and he opens the doors to a dominant/submissive lifestyle that makes Elyse feel free.
I’m not a huge lover of BDSM, most stories make me cringe, but Ella’s books are addictive and she writes with such emotional depth that the BDSM aspect of the story is hot, not cringe worthy. Can’t wait for more, in fact, I’m dying for Surrender to Me to come out. What will I do until then? May have to re-read Make Me Stay.
Short but hot read about Logan and Elyse's meeting at Pleasure Inn. They had great chemistry and didn't need long to know they were meant for each other.

It doesn’t take her long to believe the inn’s motto. Logan’s dominance in the bedroom makes all of her fantasies a reality. This book is erotic with a little light BDSM thrown in. This is my first Ella Jade book and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Elyse leaves Manhattan after finding out her boyfriend has been cheating on her and to make matters worse he is also an investor in the restaurant when she is the Executive Chef. Elyse is on the verge of a breakdown, her family tells her to go and spend time in the country for some much needed R&R. Elyse decided to go back to the small B&B when her family would stay during her childhood. When she arrives she finds that the B&B is closed for renovation, but the new hunky owner Logan Cole begs her to stay for at least the night. Without giving too much of the story away, Elyse and Logan have to over come many hurdles from mistrust to an interfering ex with their own agenda. Overall a smooth read, I was surprised on how quickly the characters got together and how problems just seem to disappear overnight, but still an enjoyable read. An solid 8 out of 10
Pleasure Inn...where all your fantasies become reality.
The Pleasure Inn where your fantasies become reality....SIGN ME UP! This book was HOT. The author gives you just enough in the sex scenes. The perfect amount of details and descriptions. This is a quick read. However you get a lot of story, and it does not feel rushed at all.
This is the story of Elyse and Cole. Both are trying to run from and forget their pasts. Elyse was the head chef at her ex-boyfriend's restaurant. She decides to get away from the city, former job, and ex and goes to an old Inn her family used to visit. Logan is a player whose life was rocked by a scandal. To give him some purpose in life, his uncle gives him Pleasure Inn to run.
Elyse and Cole meet when she shows up on his doorstep at the Inn, which is currently closed down. There is an instant connection between the two, and he offers to let her stay in one of the guest rooms. Sparks fly and so does the passion. Logan is a dominant who likes control, and Elyse wants to forget and submit. This makes for the perfect combination for some steamy encounters.
"I've never been more intrigued or turned on by anyone like I am with you." she looks down, "I think I was this -to submit-to you."
Both fall fast for each other and find what they were missing.
"You took me by surprise. When you showed up her that night, I thought you'd stay a day or two. I never expected to fall so fast and so hard"
This book was very well written and enjoyable. Easily read in one sitting. I can't wait to read the installment and see who else has their fantasy becomes reality.
Master of the Inn is the first in a series about a place called Pleasure Inn (where all your fantasies become reality). Well, if the name isn’t enough to get you to want to visit that place, let me tell you that its owner, Logan most certainly will!
The story begins with Elyse leaving New York after finding her fiancé cheating on her. She heads to a place she can remember visiting as a child with her family, a place she has fond memories of. When she arrives, she finds it completely run down. Enter Logan, the hot new owner, who has been given the Inn to try and give him some direction in life. He’s a little bit of a recluse but you can tell he’s got a big heart. He’s just lost his way a little bit and Elyse helps him find it. There is a lot of chemistry from the word go. Logan is dominant in the bedroom and Elyse is happy to experiment with being submissive, but even though the bedroom scenes are hot it isn’t the focus of the whole story. The relationship between them is very open and honest. They talk about how they are feeling, what they are comfortable with and go from there. The sex is steamy but what I loved about this book was that I just felt like the relationship was so real, they both help each other and support each other, and reading how their love develops in this story sets a very good foundation for the series. I can’t wait to read more about them in later books.
I loved this story and I could not put it down. If you’re looking for a romance that has both a sweet and very sexy side then this is the book for you!
Pleasure Inn… Where all of your fantasies become reality.
Elyse leaves town after her boyfriend breaks up with her. She goes looking for a getaway. She never expects to fall for the owner of Pleasure Inn Logan. It doesn’t take her long to believe the inn’s motto.
Logan’s dominance in the bedroom makes all of her fantasies a reality.
Really enjoyed the book. You could almost feel the chemistry between Logan and Elyse come right off the page. I was hooked from the beginning. What an amazing start to what is a great series. I fell in love with the characters almost from the beginning.
Well written, and I would highly recommend this book.
***About the Author*** Ella Jade has been writing for as long as she can remember. As a child, she often had a notebook and pen with her, and now as an adult, the laptop is never far. The plots and dialogue have always played out in her head, but she never knew what to do with them. That all changed when she discovered the eBook industry. She started penning novels at a rapid pace and now she can't be stopped. Ella resides in New Jersey with her husband and two young boys. When she's not chasing after her kids, she's busy writing, attending PTO meetings, kickboxing, and scrapbooking. She hopes you'll get lost in her words.
Elyse was the executive chef at her boyfriends star restaurant in New York. That is until she finds out he is cheating on her. Wanting to get away from it all, at least for a little while, she heads out of town. Her destination – the Inn she has fond childhood memories of. She and her family had many great trips there when she was younger. What she doesn’t expect is the new Inn Keeper Logan.
Logan was left the Inn by his uncle who wanted him to have more responsibility. Logan’s past is not one he is proud of. He didn’t do much more than party and work his way through women. Now he is working on restoring and reopening his uncles old Inn and when a sexy guest shows up on his doorstep he can’t turn her away.
With the instant spark you know there’s going to be some sexy loving between them but throw in the fact that Logan is a Dom in the bedroom and Elyse doesn’t mind experimenting at submissiveness and you have some screen melting hotness going on. If I had read a print version I would be scared it might spontaneously combust!
This is a great read. Ella Jade knows how to make characters that feel “real” and that capture your attention. The relationship that builds between them is a thing of beauty.
Personal rating :- 3 stars as I don't feel it's good enough for 4 stars.
Book Pairing:- M/F Did it give me a book hangover :- No Is this a review book or personal read :- Personal read.
Why I chose this book?
The cover caught my eye and at the time I just wanted a quick read.
What I liked about this book.
* The story shows great potential and so does the author. * A strong lead female. * The male was hot.
What I didn't like about this book.
* I felt that for a short story the author tried to pack too much into the book. Itwould have worked better if the book was longer. * Everything between the couple seemed to be instant. I like the chase.
Would I read more from this author?
This Author has many books out and I would like to read more.
Would I recommend this book?
Yes. Although it's not the highest rated book on my list I still feel that people would enjoy it. But remember it is a short book. It could be read in about 15 minutes 30 tops if you have a 2 year old climbing over you lol.
Ella Jade is a true master of erotic romance. She always manages to find the perfect balance between romantic story and the erotic smut scenes we all love. As expected with all of her work it is very well thought out and impeccably edited. Her characters are superb… this is an amazing start to a new series.
Elyse travels to the Inn where her family stayed when she was just a girl only to find it is in disrepair and not open for guests. Innkeeper Logan is intrigued by the beautiful woman who knocked on his door and offers for her to stay the night at the Pleasure Inn.
Logan isn’t without his faults, but he can be charming and is completely sexy. When I got to the end of this one I was desperate for more of this hottie! Logan whittled away a tiny piece of my heart.
This is a sexy quick read that won’t leave you disappointed. You will be chomping at the bit to read book two! I give this one a full 5 stars! Ella never disappoints.
After her life fell apart, a dream lead Elyse to an Inn she often visited as a child. I am a sucker for "dream" inspired love stories and it immediately sucked me in. Watching the Inn come to life as they both grew as individuals and eventually as a couple was such a fun read. The main characters are both so likable, even when they were at their lowest, so I am very interested to see where this series goes from here. While this story has a ton of heat, it is so much more than that. Fair Warning: You will want to read this until the very last page, so I would advise not starting it right before bed if you have an early morning ahead. I am very excited about this series. I am a huge fan of Ella Jade and was excited to see a "Fantasy Island" type series was in the works. This is the first book in the series and really lays the groundwork beautifully, while at the same time telling a great love story. This is an 18 plus read.
Logan was caught up in a scandal which causes him to take responsibility of “The Pleasure Inn” or lose his trust fund. Elyse was tired of being used by her boyfriend and was looking for a new start, a start that ended up with her knocking on Logan’s door. Cora is Logan’s ex and is perfect being that until she spots competition. Now that Elyse and Logan are starting to get serious Cora will do anything necessary to try and stop that relationship from going any farther; if possible she wants to stop it completely and have Elyse completely out of the picture. Logan knows what he wants but can he get it before Cora completely destroys the only thing that has given him a purpose in a long time. Master of the end was an ok read for me, I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it. I thought the relationship was a bit rushed and the story was moving slow. However, I would read the next book in the series to see if it gets better.
I really enjoyed this story as much as all others of Ella's I have read. Ella never disappoints in her books. This book is sexy, flirty and romantic. Logan a sexy as sin, super rich bad boy gets into trouble with another mans wife causing scandal for his family, his uncle steps in and forces him to renovate and take over a run down inn to stay out of trouble. I loved Logan's character super sexy and knows it!!! and also likes a little spice in his love making. in comes Elyse a executive chef who fled New York City to re visit her past and leave her boyfriends cheating ways. I also loved Elyse character, she's somewhat hiding herself in the beginning but she gets drawn into Logan's world and she loves it. When trouble walks in it takes all they have to stay together. The chemistry between the two is hot hot hot and oh my so sexy.....highly recommend this book.....
What an introduction to The Pleasure Inn series. Great job Ella Jade!!
Elyse decides to go visit the Pleasure Inn after breaking up with her boyfriend who was cheating on her. She visited the Pleasure in with her parents as a child.
Logan inherits the Pleasure Inn from his family and is in the process of remodeling when he gets a knock at the door at night.
What happens when Elyse runs into Logan's ex? What happens when Logan's secrets come out? A pair that work well together!
I really loved this book. Ella showing her D/s love again. lol. You can never go wrong.
The characters seemed real and I was rooting for Logan and Elyse the whole time (and maybe a bit for Cora to get a bit of a smackdown ... too bad that didn't happen. lol. oh well).
Anyway, Ella Jade has done it again, making me love her and her books even more.
P.S. The SPINACH part just made me giggle. Loved it!
I've not read this yet but I am participating in a blog tour with an excerpt and a giveaway opportunity...just leave a comment on my blog for your chance to win
I was looking for a quick but steamy read and this book delivered. Ella Jade has yet to disappoint me. I have read almost all of her books and I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one. This is no exception. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.
This one is actually more 3.5 stars but I felt 4 stars was too high. The story was fine and continued from the first nicely. I felt that although it was very short it was much better then the first. There was more time to connect with the characters.
I wasn't too sure about this book at first but I'm pleased to say I was pleasantly surprised. Of course as always I have to pick a story that is a series and not have the next book which drives me crazy so I guess its time to go shopping for book two.
This series has quickly become one of my favorites. I really enjoyed this book. Logan and Elyse are both very likable characters, and the story between them is sweet, fun, and sexy ;) After reading this, I quickly bought the others in the series (and those get 5-star reviews from me, also).
