My fifth five-star rating of the year goes to Logan! Review posted June 3, 2014

His jaw relaxed, those fathomless eyes flickering. "All right then," he murmured. "What would you wear for me? For yourself, to make yourself feel beautiful, seductive, capable of bringing even a Master to his knees? Bringing this Master to his knees."

I'll make this short because I think the pictures and quotes speak louder than words. And yes, I'm going to gush a lot (pun intended).

Madison uprooted her life in order to run Naughty Bits, her late sister's lingerie/adult toy shop. In order for it to succeed she needs to get in touch with her inner sexual self so she's comfortable in her role. Part two has Madison up close and personal with a submissive's training session where she becomes more entwined than she’d anticipated. The question is... will she find a way to overcome her inner fears and allow her self discovery to evolve?

Let me just say that this book was awesome. It picks up right where part 1 stops. Madison decides that she is going to the training session. Logan is training Troy, for his Mistress, and asked Madison to come help him. It was very erotic and beautiful. Joey Hill's words are so eloquent and mesmerizing that you get completely immersed in what you are reading. There is also a gentleness to her words but they are yet very sensual. She is truly a magnificent writer ...more

Now, I could use this whole review space to say for the hundredth time how much I love reading Joey W. Hill's stories, and talk about all the warm, fuzzy feelings I get while reading them, but right now I'm short on time. Plus, unless I'm mistaken, I've done that in all of my reviews of Ms. Hill's books. This time, suffice it to say what I said I wish to do with Logan's character is a common occurrence with the heroes I find in this author's works.

At the end of Part I Madison reached a wise and inevitable decision to take up Logan on his offer to join him during a session with Troy, a submissive he's training, and right at the beginning of Part II I got to enjoy reading it. And enjoy it I did. Logan, the amazing Dom, Troy, the incredible sub, and Madison, the eager observer. It got very hot, very fast in that room, especially when Madison joined in the fun.

The session served its purpose of helping Madison become more suited to run an erotica shop, and guide her customers in the right direction. That became clear with the visit of an interesting trio. Now, that trio is special, not just because I'm jealous of Sam for being involved with both a Dom and a sub, but because they will be the stars of the new Naughty Wishes serial coming next year. That little visit they made to the Naughty Bits store was enough to make me want to have their story, and I couldn't be happier Ms. Hill felt the same. I'm also wondering about Troy and his Mistress. I haven't found them in published books, so fingers crossed they get their own book. But I digress...

Over the course of over twenty works, it's become abundantly clear this author's gift in making ordinary activities highly erotic. Take this novella, for example. A simple night watching a movie became an intense D/s session. Madison is slowly but surely embracing her submissive side in the care of Logan's mastery. To my chagrin, he's still an enigma. What exactly Alice (Madison's late sister) told him about Madison is still pretty much unknown, as is his history and present. Not his fault, mind you. Madison wants to keep the fantasy for a little while longer. I do hope she gets over that soon, because I want to know more. Madison is also prepared for more--a session involving pain. Oh, I can't wait!

Oh my.... where's the fan??

A very hot installment on this series (or is it one fragmented novel?).
Madison faces some of her fears, grows as a character, and delivers some scorching hot scenes.
This is some classy, intense, all-out erotica... it should be mandatory reading for writing class, I think ;)

If this is your sub-genre of choice, give it a go!
You might want to start with The Lingerie Shop and build steam over the rest of the quartet -- Good luck!!

So if you read my review of the first instalment to this series you'll already know that I'm not a huge fan of the serialised novel format. It's something that we're seeing more and more frequently and I'll say right now that it isn't a trend I'm happy with. I much prefer to be able to read the whole story in one go and that way I'm more likely to enjoy the experience.

I much prefer to be able to read the whole story in one go and that way I'm more likely to enjoy the experience. So I decided to wait until all 4 parts of the Naughty Bits series were available and give it another chance. After rereading The Lingerie Shop I was able to dive straight into The Training Session and I have to say I enjoyed it much more because of that. I think I'm going to keep my reviews for each of the remaining segments fairly short so that I can dive back into the important business of reading the next part of the story!

I mentioned in my previous review that I found Madison really hard to relate to because she was so incredibly naive and sexually repressed. I had hope that she would grow and become easier to connect with as the series continued and I'm happy to say I liked her much more in The Training Session. She's starting to really come out of her shell, she isn't so embarrassed to admit that she is a woman with sexual desires and she is settling into her role as the new owner of the Naughty Bits lingerie shop. She is also more willing to give into the desire that she feels for her sister's best friend Logan and I'm happy to see how much her confidence is growing.

Logan was the main reason I wanted to carry on reading this story and he didn't disappoint me here, he is sexy as hell and I'm definitely looking forward to spending more time with him. Logan has been helping to train male submissive Troy for his mistress and when he offers Madison the chance to help him with a training session she finds it impossible to resist. Holy hell, that is one hot session and Logan really opens Madison's eyes to what it is really like to submit to a Master. Troy isn't the only one in training and Madison certainly learns a lot over the course of this story. She also starts to understand that although the Dom is the one who is in control it's actually the submissive who is completely in control and she is finally able to admit to herself that having submissive tendencies isn't a bad thing, especially not when you're with the right Dom. I think I fell more than a little in love with Logan in this instalment of the series and I can't wait to dive into Bound to Please to see more of the fantastic chemistry between him and Madison. ...more

I really enjoyed this installment of Naughty Bits.

The way the story is evolving is very intriguing. With Logan’s guidance, Madison is able to begin embracing her kinky sensual side. The benefit of this is that she is also able to finally identify with her customers and their needs, which helps her feel as though she is more successful in carrying on her sister’s legacy.

The benefit of this is that she is also able to finally identify with her customers and their needs, which helps her feel as though she is more successful in carrying on her sister’s legacy.

Madison is still nervous about revealing her desires, but Logan has a way of putting her at ease and encouraging trust. He radiates masculinity, but he also has a sensitive side to him that is impossible to resist. Logan is a fount of knowledge for Madison when it comes to running her new business effectively and how her sister has spent the last two years. They’ve had a connection from the get-go, and it only seems to get stronger with each meeting.

He was looking at her as if she were an ocean sunset. Okay, maybe that was a womanly interpretation. He was looking at her as if she were naked and holding a beer. As well as a universal remote to an eighty-inch flat screen, programmed only with sports channels.

Troy is an interesting character. I can’t wait to read more from this series, and I’m hoping we get to meet some of the significant people in his life.

This installment was incredibly sexy, bringing Logan and Madison closer emotionally as well as physically. It’s clear that Logan is big on intimacy, and I like the way he slowly working his way into Madison’s life. He pays attention, knowing when to push and when to back off. He is so possessive of her, but almost in a passive way. He doesn’t have to do anything to show it; it’s something he simply radiates!

If he wanted her right here, up against the wall, she’d let him do it. He was too overwhelming to resist, and her defenses were already shattered.

As with the first one, this one left me panting for more. I will definitely be checking out Bound to Please! ...more

For Madison she is diving into a world she knows she belongs in , but is terrified to what it all means. To help Madison with her deepest desires Logan coaxes her into one of his training sessions to bring her out of her shell.

Wow. After I finished reading Part 1, I knew when Logan and Madison’s first real scene together was going to be amazing, but THE TRAINING SESSION blew me away. I think it helped Madison to have Troy there as a buffer while she got used to seeing Logan in his true element as a confident and unforgiving Dominant. The first quarter of Part 2 is this training session where Troy learns how to control his reaction to what he receives from both Logan and Madison, although by the end it wasn’t clear where Troy’s training stopped and Madison’s started. When the scene is over, Madison realizes she can’t go back to the person she was before. Not just in terms of her sexual nature, but in the way she approaches life as a whole.

As Madison lets go of all her old rules and expectations, she begins to relax more within herself, starting to feel more liberated even as she grows closer to Logan. This freedom to embrace her true nature without fear immediately improves her interactions with customers who come into the Naughty Bits shop. Not only does her new approach result in better sales, but more importantly, she can now sell customers what they really need, even when they don’t know what that is when they first walk in. Madison’s new open attitude also gives her the courage to walk right into Logan’s hardware store next door to request a second date. Logan assures her there will be no sex, but by the end of their first evening alone, there will be no question about what is yet to come. For the only rule Madison has now is what her sister said in her last letter: Trust Logan.

Every expectation I had for this next installment was more than fulfilled, as I loved seeing Madison finally take the necessary steps to liberate herself from all the bad memories and inhibitions that had held her back her whole life. Not only does she learn to stop fearing what she feels, but in the process, she learns to be the person that her shop customers need to guide them toward their own emotional and sexual liberation. Each scene between Madison and Logan showed exactly how he is slowly leading her to trust both herself and him to always take care of her completely. As for me, I will continue to trust Joey W. Hill that each future installment of NAUGHTY BITS will be just as compelling as the previous ones.

Logan; purely Dominant, all male, virile, sexy as hell. Madison; skittish, cynical, guilt-ridden, fabulous fantasy life. They are brought together by her sister's death. The training scene with Troy and movie date are the ultimate in sensual erotica. Scenes so vividly depicted, you experience them with the characters. Logan is ever so slowly breaking down her defenses which allows her to truly embrace her submission.
