Not Until You Part V: Not Until You Beg
Cela wants to explore the new desires Foster has awakened within her, but is she really ready to submit? As Roni Loren’s Not Until You continues, Foster will find out exactly how far Cela will go...
Foster has been pushed past the point of temptation. So even though he fears Cela’s interest in his world is a passing whim, he agrees to teach her the art of submission. But he’s not going to hold anything back—if she wants to see this side of him, he’s going to show her how deep his dominance runs.
Cela’s initial intrigue begins to give way to doubt as she struggles with the submissive role and the desires it stirs within her. Having spent her whole life being controlled by her domineering father, she’s unsure if she’s ready to put herself under the command of another man. But when she breaks Foster’s most important rule, she puts herself in a situation more intense than she bargained for…

I have come to the conclusion that Roni Loren is a master in her genre. Not only is the plot interesting, the characters dynamic--and addictive--and the scenes sexy, but the writing is perfect.
Every little doubt or question I have is reflected in Cela. It's almost as if Ms. Loren anticipates the reader questioning Foster's decisions and deals with it accordingly. I love it! Any doubts that pop into my head are immediately squashed. I can't wait to see where this story goes next. Love it!

These just keep getting better & better as each new part comes out. I can't wait for part vi. I love how Roni Loren is allowing Cela's character to grow little by little & not making her a whimpering little girl & Foster's character well he's just hot. I'm kind of hoping that Pike is going to get his own book like this as well I love his character too, especially how he's trying to train Monty is new dog & how he deals with the females throwing themselves at him. Is it possible that maybe he & Bailey might get together, I think they would be a great couple.

Another great installment, and I particularly really liked the exchange in the beginning between Andre and Cela about what being a submissive means and what it doesn't. Also, I love that Foster is really starting to GET Cela and what she needs! Looking forward to the next part!
July 10, 2013
I love that Foster can read Cela so well and he understands her needs. Cela's an over thinker and she starts to panic when she does that. Foster knows how to get her out of that zone and where he wants her.
Cela panics over any little thing when she starts to analyze and think. She doesn't want anyone to dominate her outside of the bedroom because her father has been dictating her life forever. She doesn't see the difference between her dad and Foster at times. Foster wants to keep her safe and her father wants to dictate what Cela should do, where she should live and probably who she should marry.
Loved the interaction between Andre and his sister and how he told her about the Ranch. Loved restaurant scene, got so caught up in it I wanted to scream when it ended there. Can't wait for the next part.

Part 5 in the Not Until You serial reaches a pivotal point in NOT UNTIL YOU BEG. They go to The Ranch, the BDSM club and though Foster is still not convinced that Cela should be in this world, it does show how deeply Cela is getting under his skin.

I'm liking how their relationship is developing now. They are being more honest with each other and getting on with it.
Great stuff!

POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT WARNING - IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE INSTALLMENTS PRIOR TO THIS - IT MAY SHARE MORE THAN YOU ALREADY KNOW....
Title: Not Until You
Author: Roni Loren
Publisher/Year: Penguin Group 6/13 - 8/13
Length: 60 pages(ish) each
Series: Loving on the Edge #3.51 - 3.58
Overview(s)
Not Until You Dare:
On the night of her graduation, innocent veterinary student Cela decides to play a game of Never Have I Ever with the two hot neighbors she’s been quietly crushing on for the last year. Always the prim and proper student, Cela thinks she’s earned a wild night before she has to move back home under the watchful gaze of her family. But what starts out as a simple game is about to take a very sensual turn...
Ian Foster is tired of playing games. With his membership to The Ranch, an exclusive BDSM resort, and a musician roommate named Pike who brings home groupies with a taste for ménage, Foster has a life most guys would kill for. But lately, his need for dominance is no longer satisfied via one-night stands. He craves the full surrender of one woman—a submissive of his own.
But when his quiet, sweet-as-sugar neighbor shows up at their door with a bottle of tequila and an invitation, Foster decides he and Pike may have time for one more fling…
Not Until You Risk
Cela’s sexy game of Never Have I Ever with her neighbors has turned into a night of Truth or Dare, with her revealing her deepest desires and letting go like she’s never done before. After some seductive dancing, the trio decides to move to a more private location: a swanky hotel where Foster is determined to explore Cela’s wildest fantasies.
As the heat between the three begins to sizzle, Cela finds herself drawn to Foster, whose dominance over her is almost too much to handle. But Cela’s got a secret she hasn’t yet shared, something that could bring their passionate encounter to a screeching halt…
Not Until You Crave
As the threesome returns home from their wild night, Foster is still reeling from the truth about Cela and angry at himself for feeling more than he should for a one night stand. So when he’s confronted by Cela’s angry and protective older brother, he agrees to stay away from his alluring neighbor. He knows he’s got no business messing with a vanilla girl—especially one who tests his self-control at every turn.
Cela’s still not ready to give up on Foster or the intense connection they shared. So when a harmless midnight texting session turns into an irresistible invitation, she can’t say no. But later when she runs into Foster dressed in leather pants and heading out for a late night at The Ranch, she begins to grasp that there’s a whole other side to him she never imagined—a darkness that both intrigues and terrifies her...
Not Until You Trust
Despite desperately wanting to satisfy her curiosity, Foster is not about to introduce Cela to his true dominant side. For one thing, she’s far too innocent to participate in that kind of lifestyle; for another, he doesn’t want to get attached when she’ll be leaving town so soon. But when he comes home after a frustrating day and finds Cela hanging out with Pike, all of Foster’s possessive urges rise to the surface.
Cela is left breathless and shaken after getting a glimpse of Foster’s dominance unleashed. Maybe he was right, and she isn’t ready for something so intense. But when she can’t get her mind off their nights together, she comes up with a daring plan to see just how much they’re both willing to risk…
Not Until You Beg
Foster has been pushed past the point of temptation. So even though he fears Cela’s interest in his world is a passing whim, he agrees to teach her the art of submission. But he’s not going to hold anything back—if she wants to see this side of him, he’s going to show her how deep his dominance runs.
Cela’s initial intrigue begins to give way to doubt as she struggles with the submissive role and the desires it stirs within her. Having spent her whole life being controlled by her domineering father, she’s unsure if she’s ready to put herself under the command of another man. But when she breaks Foster’s most important rule, she puts herself in a situation more intense than she bargained for…
Not Until You Surrender
Cela willingly accepts Foster’s difficult penalty for what she’s done and finds herself more vulnerable and more attracted to him than ever. Unfortunately, she’s also more confused. She’s drawn to Foster’s dark desires but scared by the intensity of her surrender and her growing need for him. So as outside pressures mount, how is she supposed to make the hardest decision of her life?
Foster is falling further and further for Cela, but right as he’s tempted to tell her how he feels, she approaches him with a heartbreaking proposition. There isn’t much Foster wouldn’t sacrifice for Cela’s happiness, but this time that may mean watching the girl he could truly love walk away..
Not Until You Believe
Having flirted with forbidden desires, Cela leaves Foster and returns home to her small Texas town to work in her father’s veterinary practice and embrace a “normal” life. Everything is exactly how she left it—everything except her. But Foster made his feelings clear about their relationship, and she’s determined to find a way forward without him...even if her heart refuses to let go.
Foster knows that he made a mistake in letting Cela go before he told her his true feelings. Intending to set things right, he goes to her hometown to lay himself bare. But when he gets there, he sees Cela in a compromising situation that makes him doubt that they had anything special at all...
Not Until You Love
When Cela walked into his life, scared, innocent, and seeking thrills beyond her wildest dreams, Foster never expected she could become the submissive he’s always desired. Cela has changed, has blossomed into something he can’t resist, and she’s ready and willing to surrender to Foster fully.
But when devastating news reminds Foster how tragically he failed to take care of someone he loved in the past, he wonders what right he has to be with a woman as beautiful and vibrant as Cela. She’ll leave eventually anyway—everyone always does.
But Cela isn’t about to let Foster chase her away. Can she convince this dominant playboy that her love for him is here to stay?
My Thoughts
I really enjoyed this story. i think that it was a reprieve from what i felt yesterday after reading Fall Into You. Anyhow, we are introduced right off the bat to Cela (Marcela) who just happens to be Andre's little sister. That's foreboding if I ever heard it myself. We meet her on the night of her graduation from Vet school when we see her coming home after the ceremony alone w/ a bottle of Tequila. She runs into her two sexy neighbors so you know where this has to go. Alcohol and sexy neighbor boys - and an innocent girl. Yup, my mind goes there.
What we get through this series of stories is what i thought was truly going to be another menage situation with interesting dynamic and power struggles across the board, but we don't get that at all. There are certainly power struggles between Cela and Foster, but Pike turns out to be an all around good guy that's really just a side character.
The nice thing about this installment of the bigger series is that we get the great D/s dynamic, but it's similar to what i got from Cerise Sinclair's Master of the Shadowlands series where the sub isn't really 100% decided that she wants to be part of the scene or even knows what she's getting into. Cela gives Foster a bit of a struggle at EVERY turn and that makes for some very steamy scenes when she does submit. We learn a lot about the level of Pain that Foster likes and how much Cela is willing to put out there without compromising her job, freedom, family and everything else.
What's really nice too is that we get to see Andre interspersed here as well - so you never know what's going to happen. We know that he's hiding his relationship situation from his sister and their family so that's something that I know i kept wondering if i'd see get played out here.
The other great thing about this series of chapters is that Foster has on the surface a charmed life, but it's not ever that easy - and that's kind of what makes him the way that he is - controlling, dominating and into pain. He has this haunted past that really makes us wish for the best outcome, but that would be too nice and tidy if that were the case.
In any event i feel much better about this whole 'Loving on the Edge' series now and thankfully Caught Up In You comes out very soon so we get the next installment even before i've had a chance to cool off from this one. Very steamy, very naughty, and very dynamic.

4.5 Stars!
Review can also be found at http://bookkins.com
The books are part of an 8 volume serial. Basically one book split up into 8 parts. Normally I avoid serials entirely, but part 1 was free and I've heard some great things about Roni Loren's books. Wow, was I glad I picked up part 1! Not Until You will forever be one of my all-time favorite books and Roni Loren has landed on my top 5 list of one-click authors!
Cela Medina is as straight-arrow as they come. The straight-A student, perfectionist that always chose school and studying over friends and parties. But now she's graduated from college and is about to move back home and start her life under the watchful eye of her family. So when she sees her super hot neighbors, Foster and Pike on the night of her graduation she thinks why the hell not. Judging by the noises she's heard through the thin walls of her apartment and the women the two men share, it should be the kind of wild night she deserves.
But she soon learns that Foster is a member of the exclusive BDSM resort, The Ranch, and he's not looking for a fling or a one-night stand. He wants a woman that will stick around and surrender to him. To be his submissive.
Now here's why I loved Roni Loren's writing. Her style was so superbly written, that for someone like me who will never understand the lifestyle could get sucked into the story and feel as if I did. Roni pulled me in so deep that I was experiencing Cela's desire to be with Foster and his dark yet exciting ways. Now, this isn't the first time an author has done this for me. But we're talking about subjects that are way beyond my comprehension. What really made Roni's writing stand out was the way the characters expressed their feelings and actions. Every word and scene was in there for a reason, not like so many books I've read that made me wonder… why do I need to know this? Or worse, why is the author repeating it yet again? The writing was organic and flowed nicely.
And I especially loved how each character overcame something in the story. In my opinion, this is a must for a good book. They should learn something or get passed something from their past that will make them a better person. The kind of person the love of their life deserves. It just makes me as a reader feel like now, finally, they can have their happily ever after.
Cela's moment had me tearing up. But Foster's! Oh, my God, I cried like a baby. Interested? Read the books!
Ménage… BDSM… not my thing. But Roni Loren can write about anything and I'll read it!
So why not 5 out of 5? There were some minor editorial issues. Each of the volumes had something in it. Switching from first person to third within a sentence. (Celea's POV was written in first and Foster's was in third.) And some missing words here and there.

A copy of this book was provided by the publisher for an honest review at SeductiveMusings.blogspot.com.
Cela is finally ready to take control of her present and future and she’s not going to let her brother or anyone else stand in her way. Foster is determined to try to move on from Cela, if he can just find the right submissive. What he doesn't realize is that the scene that was arranged for him by Grant, the Ranch’s owner, is with the woman he keeps seeing in every other submissive with whom he tries to forget her. She knows it’s a huge gamble, but the possible payoff for both of them is worth all the risk. Foster wants a committed D/s relationship and that’s what Cela wants to give him. Whether or not they can succeed remains to be seen.
This was my favorite part of the story up to this point, as we finally get to see Foster and Cela working on becoming a real couple in the BDSM lifestyle. Foster works to train her as he would any other woman new to submission and Cela works on learning to trust in Foster and in her own strength and resilience. But the pressure from home and her family isn't going away anytime soon, and Cela worries that Foster’s protective instincts aren't really any different than her own family trying to run her life for her.
At least this part didn't end with one or both of them pushing away the other, and that was a nice change. Instead we are left Foster promising Cela his own brand of punishment for lying to him about not having told her family that she wasn't going to come home to stay after all. This was the best type of serial cliffhanger - one where we anticipate something really good about to happen instead of wondering why they were apart again when it’s clear it only makes them miserable.

I picked up the first 2 novellas in this series as a freebie on Amazon, well I am an Amazon Kindle Freebie Whore. As soon as I started reading the first one I was absolutely hooked and immediately bought the remainder of the series. Because I read all 8 consecutively my review is for all 8.
OMG this series is amazing. It is absolute perfection. It is hot, hot, hot. The characters and their dynamics are so well developed. Everything about this book is beautifully interwoven. The story grabs you from the very first page and you don't want to put it down. I don't have the words to describe how awesome this series is, and am just in awe at this author.
I would recommend reading this series how I did, because you're going to be left with cliffhangers otherwise.
I wish I had realised this was 3.5 in the Loving on the Edge series when I started, but that's my own fault.

The story grabs you from the very first page and you don't want to put it down. I don't have the words to describe how awesome this series is, and am just in awe at this author.
I would recommend reading this series how I did, because you're going to be left with cliffhangers otherwise.

This is a series that make one story so to get the full effect I'll read all to see what its about but I know it'll be good cause Ian Foster is in it lol
What can I say I'm not disappointed Foster is Hot Hot Hot along with Pike double wow lol I love this book so much I expect to get the whole book when it comes out I'm disappointed you have to go from book to book but I didnt but it untill all where available I would of been chomping at the bit if I had to wait weekly for this to come out I would of hounded you Roni lol
Now Cela is a woman who I could throttle sometimes she thinks to much but then she redeems herself for what she does for Foster and the sex scenes are hot but I new they would be with him well done again Roni

Not my favorite of the serials so far. Cela sort of annoyed me in this one. I'm not a fan of lying and I don't like that fact that she chose to lie to her parents. She wants to be treated like a grown women, yet she keeps acting like a child. As for her relationship with Foster, I am really enjoying how things are progressing between the two. I like that they are now beginning to realize their feelings for one another.

I waited until this entire serial had been released before I started it, because I *knew* I wouldn't be happy waiting each week for a new installment. I'm glad I did. My full review is on the last installment's (Not Until You LOVE) page.Not Until You Part VIII: Not Until You Love

Cela is neighbors with foster and pike and have been for 2 years now that cels has graduated she feels like she's been missing out but with a bottle of tequila in hand she decides to take a chance on these men but foster is the guy she's had her eyes on will it be one night or can a relationship progress? read this book in one sitting and loved it!!! All books are connected and so far hot and steamy without overdoing it!!

It just didn't work for me this time. The rest were so hot; this one seemed way too tame. I was expecting to read about Cela's reaction to the Ranch. She was in the parking lot, she was in the room (no ebarassment in front of Colby), she was back at her apartment. BORING! I still can't wait for the next installments, but that is just so I can complete the book.

Following on from my review of Part 3, where I said that I am not doing a review of each individual part but leaving it until Part 8 I will leave you with just this:
I am so glad these came out day by day - not sure I could have waited a week for the next episode!

I like this book, but I don't like the fact that the chapters are split into 8 parts and only 4-5 chapters long. It's an expensive e-serial when you add them all up at $1.99 each. I would be able to give it more stars if it weren't for that fact.

See my review for which is described in part 1 of this serial.

Not Until You Beg....perfect title! Cela you are my hero! Once again another perfect addition to the eserial. By far my favorite. Roni rocks!!!

4 star rating applies to series as a whole since I read it together rather then separately.

I'm thinking I like these books. But I'm also thinking it annoys me that they are all just about 4 chapters.
