Determined to spend time with her, he devises a plan. She is soon lured back to him and falls even deeper into his world of BDSM. Alayna begins to find their relationship thrilling and wants to please Damon more than ever.

Their lifestyles start to blend as they learn to meet each other’s needs, but they’re soon disrupted by secrets from Damon’s past, and one could even put Alayna’s safety in jeopardy.

One Plea in the second book in One Urge, One Plea, Keep Me Trilogy. It can not be read as a standalone, you must read One Urge first. I loved the first book, One Urge and was excited to start One Plea. One Plea is an awesome continuation of Alyana and Damon's story. I actually liked this one a little more than the first one. One plea is written in the POVs of Alyana and Damon.

When this story starts it's a couple weeks after One Urge ends. Both Damon and Alyana have missed each other. Alyana heads back to New York for a visit. Damon crosses her path and sparks explode. Of course when Damon and Alyana get together there will be hot and steamy scenes.

We learn a little more about Damon is in this story. He allows Alyana to touch his hair but if she does he gets to do something back to her. We still don;t get to know all of Damon's secrets but we find out that he got some buried in the past that are forcing themselves out to the present.

I know this is a novella but I wanted more. I wasn't ready for it to end, I so glad we can we more of Alyana and Damon is Keep Me. The ending is really sweet. It's not a major cliffhanger but it definitely leaves you wanting more.

One Plea is the 2nd book in the One Urge, One Plea, Keep Me Trilogy by Scarlet Wolfe. I had the pleasure of reading the first book and was hooked!

After waiting for book 2 to be released, I am happy to say that I love love love One Plea!

Ok let’s drive right in!

One Urge ended with Alayna returning home from NY, leaving behind Damon and their hot steamy love affair. One Plea pick up right where we left off! Alayna is home, focusing all her energy and time into writing some of her best work since she has memories of Damon to inspire her. Lol. She tries to put the stub out of her mind but a sexy man like Damon is not one to be easily forgotten. It doesn’t help that her best Felica desperately wants Alayna to move to NYC to be closer to her and manages to talk Alayna into visiting for a blind date. Sound’s fun right?

Well… Damon, who hasn’t been able to keep his mind off of Alayna is completely miserable and when he hears that she is coming back, he does what only Damon would do and summons her, determined to get her back into his life. He sends her a ticket in the mail and of course that only pisses off Alayna… some… lol.

When Alayna arrives in NY, she goes on her date, although it was more like a funeral since the guy was completely dull. But, Damon, being the slick mischievous dominate that he is changes everything.
After tossing Alayna over his shoulder after showing up on her date, he takes her home and the two begin to their song and dance of dominance, control and sexy as hell steamy sex. They finally agree to see where things lead between them since neither of then can deny their connection but things aren’t easy.

Damon has a past. A past that could destroy everything he has worked hard for. When emails begin threatening to not only release his personal history but also threaten Alayna’s safety, Damon is back into a corner.

Will he chose money or love? We will find out soon I hope in the Keep Me, Book 3 in the One Urge, One Plea, Keep Me Trilogy.

Once again Ms. Wolfe has me on the edge of my seat eagerly awaiting the next installment of the series.

I love the chemistry between Alayna and Damon and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Thank you Ms. Wolfe for allowing me the opportunity to review this book.

Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

One Plea (One Urge, One Plea, Keep Me Trilogy #2) by Scarlet Wolfe
I received an ARC in exchanged for an exchange for an honest review

One Plea is the second in this trilogy and One Urge should be read prior to reading this book. After the first book we were left with an aching cliffhanger. Alayna Wynn has returned to her home in St. Louis, in an attempt to ward off any presence of Damon Lear. Alayna immerses herself in her writing and finds out that maybe her time with Damon helped her after all! Felicia, Alayna’s friend from New York is eager to see her friend and begs her to return to New York to visit. Felicia has a suspicion that something happened between Alayna and Damon and doesn’t approve of Damon’s ways. Finally Felicia talks her friend into coming back to New York and going out on a blind date with a co-worker. Meanwhile, Damon is missing Alayna and experiencing emotions he has never felt for a woman before. When Damon learns that Alayna is returning to New York for a visit all bets are off and he is determined to get Alayna back.

Thank goodness there is more to this story! Honestly, I really enjoyed the first book so much and after being left with a horrid cliffhanger I was beginning to worry. This second book in the series didn’t disappoint. The story continues to follow this unconventional couple as they make an attempt at a relationship, something Damon has never done. Damon continues to dominate and want to control Alayna, and she continues to attempt a fight at having some sort of control in the relationship. Trouble is looming though, Damon is starting to get emails that are threatening Alayna’s welfare and he starts to worry about his past. Fear not this novella has just as much steam as the first, and quite possibly more. This book is geared toward anyone 18 and over due to strong sexual content and BDSM. The cliffhanger in this book is much less severe, and while you will be thrilled when the next book comes out next month, the ending won’t leave you angry.

Thank you so much to the author, Scarlet Wolfe, for the opportunity to read and review her book, this is one series that I will recommend to lots of my friends!

OMG, Damon is beside himself and I think it is a great thing to see the ‘gladiator’ knocked down off his throne. We begin where we were left from book one, where Alayna has retreated back to her home in Saint Louis and Damon is left to stew in his own mind. Alayna quickly discovers her escapades with Damon have helped to re-immerse herself within her writing. She has discovered that Vanilla is not the only way to write or live.

Alayna is falling back into old habits of not leaving her house only writing and hiding out. Her friend Felicia is not giving up on her hope to get Alayna to move back to New York. She finally convinces her to come back for a weekend for a blind date with a co-worker of Felicia’s. Seth makes the mistake of letting Damon know she is coming back.

With Damon being just as miserable and irritable as Alayna, he has trouble focusing on his job. His mind always goes back to Alayna and missing her.

Can’t get enough of Damon and is dominating Alpha male tendencies. In this book we get to see a little into a softer side of Damon, but don't get me wrong he is still the 'gladiator'. The chemistry between him and Alayna still exist and is even more evident when he goes after his women with a request that she can’t deny him.

The end of this book was an ‘oh my moment’ that has the potential to end it all or send this relationship to a whole new level.

Great Novella Series!

If you are looking for a fast and sexy read then this series is for you.

I loved the fact that Damon is a dominate and controlling man by nature, but his passion for Alayna has him breaking some of his rules and thawing his heart.

Book One will ignite the spark for you as the reader and give you a glimpse into what may be if Alayna returns to the city

Book Two will fan the flame of the passion and intense feelings that Damon and Alayna have for each other if they can only overcome both their stubborn personalities.

Book Three will ignite you as their relationship progresses and you learn the past that Damon and his family have fought so hard to hide.

The story unfolds over these three books and had me flipping the pages and reading each in one sitting.

I loved the fact that even though Damon is a Dom my nature in his past experiences that we see a vulnerable side of him. He and Alayna both discover the kind of kink that works best for their relationship and her limited experience in the BDSM world.

The story line is very well developed throughout all the books and leaves you clicking for the next book to find out how this relationship continues to develop!

Oh my Damon, what are you hiding!

I loved this installment of the trilogy, it was great watching these two characther's get closer. I do have issues with Damon and his biting and Alayna taking it, but as soon as it bothers me, the matter is dealt with! Very clever Scarlet Wolfe.

Along with the hot sex, which I have to say isn't stretched to far, it's great actually, there's a lot going on in this part. Needless to say Damon has security in place to protect what he cares for. I'm so desperate for him to say *love*.

I'm really enjoying the characther development, Damon is mellowing *slightly* he still wants to be in control, but his showing a softer side. Alayna is still the same sweet girl, just liking things a bit kinkier, but she's so independent and strong and yes she needs and wants him to want her but at the same time you know she'd be ok on her own - Take note Damon!

Will be reading Keep me ASAP.

Loving this couple.

Okay so after a slow start in book one book two kicked ass! Damon isn't willing to let Alayna run from his is realizing he can be a person he used to be, we learn Damon wasn't always what he is now but what or who was he. Damon doesn't do relationships yet he claims Alayna more times and not. She has so many fears of this man and yet seems to be falling for him so quickly. Her fears of his past are given some answers by someone that has been with him for 4 years and can answer some of Alyana's questions and yet adds more confusion to her head and heart. Alyana heads home from NYC after agreeing she is definitely going to move there, Damon's past catches up with her and he is on a plane to be near her and protect her. The only issue I have with this book is it was short and left me with so many questions.

This was a team review with one other person.

This book was the continuation of book 1: One Urge. Damon still has me wrapped around his finger. Pulling me in his direction with his aura. His alpha personality has me totally swooning for more. Every word that comes out of this sexy man’s mouth makes complete and perfect sense.

While Alayna still seems stronger then she was in book 1, both characters have reached a point where I couldn’t put the book down. Even with the drama that went on between the two. It was enough to hook me. The hotness coming off the pages from the “sexy” scenes made me tingle with anticipation!! Below is a couple of favorite quote!

“I do want to please you, let me be both your muse and your canvas.”

This story just keeps getting better!

In this installment, the mystery surrounding Damon's past starts to come to the forefront. I am DYING to know what happened to turn him into who he ultimately became.

And, possibly because of something that occurred in his past, Alayna might now be in danger. I can't wait for THAT mystery to be solved as well.

And holy hotness, can Scarlet write a love scene! Both books have been jam-packed with them and I could not be happier. My favorite one so far has been at the very end of this book.

In fact, because of the relationship between Alayna and Damon, the very last line of this book has me beyond ready to get started on the final book in the trilogy.

Can't wait!!!!!

For those of you who loved 50 shades of Grey and was sad to see it end, this is a wonderful fill in with much more of those steamy moments. Now I'm sad & excited to read the third book. Sad because I know it will end and excited because I'm having Damon & Alayna withdrawal!
Thank you for one Hot & Steamy love story, Scarlet Wolfe!!

I love this series! I didn't think it was possible for Damon to get sexier, but he did. The chemistry between Alayna and Damon is off the charts. I can't wait for the last book in the series. This is definitely a book you do not want to miss!!

Taking their relationship to a whole new level, Damon & Alayna have intense chemistry and their growing love towards each other climaxed at the end when Alayna told Damon she loved him! ONE PLEA was a smoldering sequel novella!! What will Damon say next?!!!

This second book had me fall more and more in love with Damon. we see him battling demons and trying dang it to be more what Alayna wants. She keeps fighting though. even when she does surrender she fights and runs when it doesn't always go how she wants. Seriously Alayna that isn't going to help Damon with his battle it more than likely will make him skittish and scared to get close.

Damon and alayna here are in his penthouse for three days alone together and relent to their desires. Well almost all of their desires, for Damon the touching one is hard. when the time is over Alayna runs from Damon and acts like he crushed her. Not true you hurt him too.

Damon has so many things happening in this book you feel for the guy. He's fighting demons of the past, dealing with threats at work, worrying about Alayna, trying to deal with his feelings and get Alayna back to talking to him again. Every time something happens that Alayna doesn't like though she runs and this has to have a affect on Damon. Poor guy.

Alayna she wasn't my favourite in this book. She was acting liked not getting what they want so let's throw a tantrum or in her case involve my friend and run away. She keeps running. Until Damon puts a end to it and even than she fights him.

the intimacy is amazing and hot and watching Damon battle himself is beautifully written.

Things are happening fast in this book and the ending has you reeling. Will Damon's past harm everything? why does it scare him so much? When will he tell Alayna? Will she handle it or run like she usually does? Will they stay together? Will Felicia stay out of it and let these two figure things out? Hope the next answers my questions.

Title: One Plea
Reviewer: Felicia Henke

This book was given to me for my honest review.

This is the second book in the trilogy.

****WARNING THIS BOOK CONTAINS ADULT SITUATIONS******

This story continues from the first one. This is mostly Damon. He really wants to be with Alayna, but he's never been the one women kind of guy. He really wants to make things work he just having trouble with the one women thing he hasn't done relationships before but he doing his best to keep it going. When some of Damon secrets are revealed will Alayna stay or will her jealousy push her away.

Wow!!!!! This book started off with a boom, right away I can feel how each person is feeling. You have more in this book, secrets about Damian and his past are starting to become clear. You feel how he hurts, and when he's mad. You feel the shame of what happened to him. Although it doesn't go into details of what really happen too him. You can tell it has affected him. He makes her feel so good. He has opened her eyes up to so many things. Pain is her pleasure, but will his secret be to much? Can he love her, Like he wants?

One Plea is the second book of the One Urge, One Plea, Keep Me Trilogy and can't not be read as a stand alone.

Alayna has returned to St. Louis and dives into her writing, finishing her next book two weeks. But once she is done she crashes and Felicia convinces her to come to New York for a blind date.

Damon is also miserable because he can't get Alayna out of his mind and when he hears she will be in New York he vows to do anything to convince Alayna to be with him.

Some of Damon's secrets are revealed and more are being threatened to be leaked out. Can he keep his reputation, business, and Alayna safe?

This book is just as addicting as the first. Lots more HOT sex and Damon experimenting with Alayna's tolerances with his cocktail of pleasure and pain. You see a softer side of Damon and a stronger side to Alayna in this book also. She can't resist him but challenges him at every turn. I just love the chemistry that is between these two. And of course it leaves you wanting more.

Alayna is thrown off balance by the control she gives up to Damon. So she runs back home and dives back into her work. Damon figures now that he's had Alayna, he'll be able to move past his desire for her. But, alas, that's not how it works, Damon. Damon lures Alayna back into his life and back into his dark desire. But Alayna gives in and explores the passion and desire Damon brings to the relationship they're in now. Then the past rears it's ugly head and danger lurks around the corner. Will Alayna and Damon make it through this trial?

Scarlet gave us not only romance and passion in this book, she gave us suspense and danger. She adds layers to Alayna and Damon's story and makes us want to know more.

This one was better than the first. The chemistry that Damon and Alayna has in intense. I want the sex scenes more but I also want Damon to open up. His background is some what revealed, but still a mystery. Great book. Reading the next one now!!
