Blindfold Club #5
Tři něžná slůvka
Před pěti lety jsme byli spolu.
Bylo mezi námi tolik vášně, až nás oba udolala. Po tom, co se mezi námi nakonec stalo, jsem ještě mohl být rád, že jsem se té ženské zbavil.
Teď se mi ovšem zčistajasna znovu objevila v životě, navíc snad v nejnevhodnější možné situaci, a najednou se tak vrací k životu všechny mé nejdivočejší fantazie.
Chci ji. Ta touha je příliš silná, než aby se proti ní dalo bojovat. Ale tentokrát už nechci to, co jsme měli tehdy. Nechci to, co nás oba nesmyslně zničilo.
Místo toho nastolím jasná pravidla. Navrhnu dohodu o slasti bez emocí, díky níž poznáme, jací jsme za zavřenými dveřmi. Žádné sladké kecy o tom slově na L, žádná něžná slůvka ani od jednoho z nás.
Tentokrát naši touhu zkrotím a ovládnu.
Tentokrát rozhoduju já – a dohlédnu na to, aby už naše žhavá vášeň nikoho nespálila.

Three Sweet Nothings is the fifth book in the series, but each book features a different couple and can be read as a standalone. I love series like this because starting the book feels familiar and I love reconnecting with the other characters. Knowing Kyle was Peyton's sister I felt connected. This story is a little different as it is a second chance romance and doesn't involve the Blindfold Club as much.
Ruby and Kyle dated in college but broke up when Kyle moved away. Naturally, there is a little more to the story as you can imagine. Miscommunications are not always my favorite type of stories, but it made more sense since these two were going their separate ways when their misunderstanding occurred.
When these two come back together in a client meeting there is definitely sparks and I was hooked. I loved how the story was told in dual point of view so you could see both of their desires and thoughts. I love knowing all sides of the story and how it helped me connect to Kyle and Ruby.
This series is seriously hot! Sloane has quickly become my go-to author when I am looking for steamy, but this story had a lot of heart and romance. I actually enjoyed seeing more romance with the steaminess. Regardless, what you are looking for sexy or sweet, this is a perfect read!

What’s the biggest complaint by readers of romance? Miscommunication. So, I’m glad we could tackle that issue in this installment of The Blindfold Club.
Kyle and Ruby missed out on five years together because she jumped to conclusions and he turned tail and ran without an explanation.
Although in my personal opinion, his sin is far smaller than hers. I rarely take the guy’s side so that’s saying a lot.
I appreciated all the contracts considering both MC’s are lawyers. I also enjoyed the side story about the divorce they’re oversaw. I would’ve liked to see a story about Julius and Courtney but we don’t always get what we want. Plus I won’t complain about discovering more about Grant and Tara is my most anticipated after Joseph.
Speaking of … omg we all know the best part was when they had a party with Joseph and Noemi. Holy shit! I would sub for that man so hard!
Ruby has probably been my least favorite FMC that Nikki Sloane has ever written. I probably took more pleasure then I ever have when Kyle took her in hand after the incident when she found out about the club. I never thought I’d root for a man putting a woman in her place but goddam, it’s been a long time coming.
Overall, not my favorite of the series but it certainly met my expectations in the steamy department and that’s the most important part.

BLURB:
Five years ago, we’d been together and on fire, but the flames burned us both. Now she’s back in my life and is all my wildest fantasies in the flesh.
I want her. The desire is too powerful to argue against, but I’m not interested in what we had. This is an arrangement about pleasure and finding out who we are behind closed doors. There won’t be talk of love or any sweet nothings whispered by either of us.
This time, I’ll control the heat and make sure neither of our hearts get too close to the flames.
Basically, the two main characters are Kyle and Ruby. They got together in law school, Kyle in his last year, Ruby a year behind. They choose to break up when Kyle graduates because neither believes in long distance relationships, but when the time to say goodbye looms near, misunderstandings run rampant and both are left with hurt feelings and leftover bitterness. Fast forward five years, and herein starts this tale of erotica.
There was a second chance romance story at the heart of this book. Although I found the reasons behind their initial split to be stupid, juvenile and absurd, they were also strangely realistic. Ruby and Kyle acted as any other early adults would in the same situation IMO. Many people tend to jump the gun and make assumptions without any facts. It happens. However, it's not what one would expect from law school students. In law school, it's stressed that we must endeavor to think logically and analytically, among many other things. We're encouraged to think outside of the box in order to enhance our critical thinking. Did these characters miss those particular lessons?
In the bedroom, Kyle and Ruby were passion personified. Outside of that... take that same passion and add miscommunication and these two were absolutely volatile. All the love in the world didn't stop them from repeating the same mistakes. Ruby still jumped to conclusions and Kyle had a tendency to shut down.
Quick note: there was a pretty long menage scene (actually the longest sex scene, I think), but to be honest, of all of the sex scenes, this was my least favorite (in terms of sensuality or overall sexiness). It was the one I was the least into. It didn't get me hot and bothered. I was tempted to skim it until I realized the important role it played in the story. It taught about the intimacy that can be found in a D/s relationship and how the Dom can take his cues from his sub. So at first I felt pretty "meh" about it, but in the end I felt I learned something valuable. Regardless, the other scenes in the book more than made up for the more technical menage scene. They were muy caliente !
In conclusion, this was my first foray into the delectably erotic imagination of Nikki Sloane, but with this book, I can see myself coming back for more.

3* the one that got away STARS!
The Blindfold Club series is still on going, I think. This book is about Kyle McCreary is Payton's brother from book #2? Yeah, that woman. Payton worked at Blindfold Club before met her future husband. Her ex-boss, Joseph from book #3 surprisingly make major appearance in this book.
Kyle McCreary seems a prim and proper man. He's a great lawyer in high level firm. Everyday feels the same except when Kyle met his old lover from college. Ruby Carter didn't expect to met Kyle in their client's meeting. However, Kyle demands sexual relationship with Ruby because they're still hot for each other. Sweet nothing, eh?
Outside, Kyle seems to has everything. Great career and respectable family. But he wants to stand on his own feet. Because his scandal in the past, Kyle need to swallow his pride to work in his father's firm. Ruby is the only woman he couldn't forget and she's in front of him. Ruby was easily likable person. Both Kyle and Ruby really good with their job as a lawyer, but lame in personal relationship.
They ended up hating each other because a miscommunication. But it was in the past. Both Kyle and Ruby cleared this problem and moving on. But Kyle couldn't let her go, so he 'manipulate' her into a sexual contract. There is no label, yet. I already sense that Kyle is a dominant type. He likes in control but in kinky way. Both Kyle and Ruby are quite kinky, involved spanking, exhibitionist and girl-on-girl action (for Ruby). And there is Joseph and Noemi came. They played with Kyle and Ruby in a scene and it was pretty hot. But it isn't my cuppa. So...
Anyway, they really need to communicate more because these two almost create another drama. It was pretty fucked up and 'coincidental'. But, I was glad this time they didn't run. Kyle and Ruby are really perfect together. Sadly, even for a ex-couple, I didn't feel their chemistry until the end. They're really fun in flirt and sex, but there is no depth in their relationship. I didn't understand where's their love came from. Overall, it was all just okay. This supposed to be a second-chance love but it didn't excite me.

The kiss he gave me now wasn’t like the one right after midnight. That one had been impressive, but this was so powerful and raw, I cried out against his mouth. I didn’t want him to stop like last time. I needed him and this brutal kiss, even though I despised the desire in me.

I’d spent a lot of nights wondering what it’d be like to be a submissive. To have another person focused on me, and push me to explore new things. To improve. And the thought of Kyle being my Dom? It was so hot, my skin felt like it was sunburned.

I love this series and I love that each book is a little different. Three Sweet Nothings is a standalone and is part of the Blindfold Club series. This is Ruby and Kyle’s story.
Ruby and Kyle were a couple in college and something happens and they part ways in a not so good way. Its five years later and both are lawyers and it’s a little hard for them to see each other again.
I love a good second chance book. I love the angst and the tension between the two main characters. I enjoyed the pace of this one and I love we get to the heart of the matter fairly quickly, meaning, why they broke up.
This one doesn’t have much of the Blindfold Club interaction, but I do like that the characters from the previous books have a great appearance in this book than in the others. I like the sweet relationship Ruby and Kyle have, but there is a little angst to keep you happy.
Of course the steam is enjoyable and this one is still kinky, but I think more romantic.
I really enjoyed that Ruby likes to bake, I know it’s random, but I like it with the Heroine cooks and it made me want to eat a cookie after I read.
Overall, I enjoyed this one.

Nikki Sloane once again gives us a very hot erotic story in her The Blindfold Club series. And although this time we don't cross the threshold of the club as much, it's not any less exciting. A lot of sensual, adventurous and unique scenes, that will accelerate the beating of your heart.
To say that it's smoking hot is an understatement! It's about two attorneys, second chances and discovering and exploring their dirtiest fantasies and desires.
At the beginning I had some problems with the storyline but the further you read it is more exciting, and if you are looking for a good erotica, this is definitely a book worth recommending.

HOT! ENTICING! ADDICTING! Did I mention...HOT!
Ruby and Kyle...Kyle and Ruby...can I just say how much I freaking LOVED these two!!! Told in dual POV, this SEXY AS SIN second chance romance had me melting from the very beginning. Full of angst, drama, tension, and some of the HOTTEST sex scenes around, THREE SWEET NOTHINGS was one HELL of an addition to this delectably EROTIC series!
"I love you, and I can prove it."
"Yeah?" He was pure sarcasm. "How?"
"I'll keep loving you," I broke on the inside as I said it, "even if you stop loving me."
This is the first of the series that didn't mainly focus on the Blindfold Club, which TOTALLY worked! And it just makes sense, given what happened in the previous book. (Just an FYI, this book can be read as a complete standalone. Nikki Sloane is a pro at catching the books up with one another.)
Both Ruby and Kyle are spitfires! And that just made for AMAZING banter between the two, between the sheets and out of them. Sexy! Kinky! And full of heat and heart, THREE SWEET NOTHINGS was a delicious erotic read! If you haven't immersed yourself in this HOT SERIES yet, stop what you're doing and 1-click away! You will NOT be disappointed!

in my feels about the fact that ive finished this series now
December 12, 2016
This was a cute second chance romance, it was my least favourite from this series. Ruby and Kyle had a relationship back in college but after a misunderstanding they went their separate ways. I liked Ruby and Kyle together they were really cute. For me I had a problem with how much sex there was, yeah I know that is totally unheard of from me but I found it kinda boring.
I loved the secondary characters! Especially Courtney and Julius, I really want to see where that relationship goes!!

A Guarded, Dominant Lawyer? YES, PLEASE!
Nikki Sloane continuously blows my mind with her hot AF alpha men, their women (I adore all of them) and all of their passion, she is an automatic 1-click for me and this book...
How does it get better than that? (It really doesn't) How is it possible that the hot factor level increases with every book?
This book has all my favorite things:
1. Second chance romance
2. An alpha lawyer <3
3. Hot, hot, hot passion..
4. Witty back and forth banter
5. Macaroons
I love, love a good 2nd chance romance and their story. *Sigh.* So. Much. Angst. AND ALL of the feels. There were times where I was yelling at Kyle or Ruby. Sometimes both and then there were times that I was blushing (ex. First page of Ch. 1). Kyle and Ruby, once a college fling that didn't end will, were nothing short of amazing. Kyle – guarded and dominant (swooooning) and Ruby is feisty and almost fearless except for when it comes to him. Together, they make my heart so happy and so full.

Ooooo how I loved this one. Kyle and Ruby are just so hot together and that first scene had me screaming. I liked seeing them rekindle and grow together. The spice was amazing, was bored towards the 70% mark, but it picked up a little after!

Do not take this review from me seriously. I loved this author's first book in this series, and I keep coming back chasing that Dragon. *sigh* It's not going to happen.
The writing is good, so please don't think it's the author or the way this is written that gets to me. I'm not a fan of the BDSM lifestyle and of books about it. That is my only issue at play here. I didn't at all like Joseph's book, so this one turned me off as well.
It is not as hard core, or maybe I'm becoming desensitized, but I still take issue with that concept I cannot grasp.
So, goodbye books like this. I'm hoping to avoid them in the future.

Three Sweet Nothings is book 5 in the Blindfold Club Series but can be read as a standalone. I can agree with that as I haven't read all of the others in the series, but I never felt lost or like I was missing out on anything.
Kyle and Ruby were together and split up under unusual circumstances because of some wild misunderstandings. Now it is 5 years later and they meet again working for law firms on opposite sides of a case. Both harbor strong anger, but their chemistry and attraction is off the charts still.
Three Sweet Nothings is a super hot, second chance story as Kyle and Ruby rediscover their connection and explore their sexuality through the setting of the Blindfold Club.

This one was just ok for me. Kyle and Ruby had issues, issues in the past where communicating was at the core, issues in the present where communincation was at the core. The agreement helped at first, but underneath both of them had insecurites that caused them to lash out. By the end of the book I was just glad to be done readiing.

I really enjoyed this book. I wasn’t sure what to expect, really. I mean, there are already a lot of erotic books out there since Fifty Shades of Grey came out so maybe I was looking for something really unique and my standards were indubitably high.
Let’s talk story. Actually, I had a good time reading the story. I didn’t find the twists and turns to be too shocking or surprising. It was entertaining, yes, though not completely original or appealing. It was a little bit dragging too.
The writing of this book is standard. I wasn’t blown away by its expressive style, but undoubtedly, it was a fun little read. I wouldn't say it was the type of book I couldn’t put down or anything like that. But it was innocent and an entertaining addition to the realm of wishful, romance readers.
As an adult, I liked the book well enough but felt it lacked the vertical extent to be profoundly momentous. Honestly, I was a little distracted as an I read her story. I spent most of the book waiting long enough for the two main characters to get back together while she was busy entertaining other guys with the meaningless relationship. It took some time, but when it transpired, things came to a rather swift resolution and I felt a little letdown.
Overall, I found this to be a fun and quick little read. I’m not sure I’ll be rushing it, but I may go ahead and take the plunge and read the author's other book because even if it wasn't a deep literary read, it was an exquisitely beautiful character-driven book. This is a fun book for those who love the hopeless romantic stories with an erotic twist and who wish that love stories could just go on and on.

I love Nikki's writing and this series. It's a perfect blend of hot erotica + good storyline to back up all the sex. Plus, she writes the best menage scenes (MFFM in this one).
Ruby and Kyle are lawyers that dated in school. Kyle moved away but now he's back and they're given a second chance. Forgiving and forgetting is harder than it seems though. It was fun to watch them learn their D/s roles and build that trust and relationship.
Wish there was an epilogue to see how things continued to play out.

Urgh this one really dragged for me. I can’t understand how some one who is as emotional and stupidly impulsive as Ruby is an attorney. Also Kyle, yawn.
I love Nikki Sloane because her smut is REALLY REALLY good smut with a whole load of substance, flawed characters and fascinating story on top of the exquisitely written sexy times. But sadly this one slumped a lot in the middle for me. The MCs were just frustratingly bad at properly communicating with each other, and they are both LAWYERS?!

L'histoire et le héros m'ont plu. L'héroïne, trop impulsive, m'a parfois agacé. J'ai failli ne mettre que 3 étoiles à cause des nombreuses et agaçantes fautes (d'orthographe ou de mots manquants/en trop), mais ce ne serait pas juste pour l'autrice qui n'est pas responsable de la traduction.

Absolutely loved this book. It had depth and great characters and SO MUCH HOTNESS!!!!!!

Read this if you like like a super hot romance.
Avoid this if you hate characters being stuck in the past. I didn't think their past "trauma" was even that big of a deal.
Spice level 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 Explicit and plentiful (multiple and adventurous scenes)
Standalone or part of a series? Part of a series but can be read alone.

4 stars. This book was another really good addition to the Blindfold Club series! Kyle and Ruby dated in law school. After Kyle graduated, he got a job in New York and moved to Chicago. Ruby still had a year left of school. They did not want to cut ties with each other, but neither was brave enough to ask the other to stay (or go along with). They were very bad at communicating. Ruby was to the point that she was in love with Kyle and even told him she loved him. Kyle also loved Ruby, but had a loveless family life and had never told anyone, ever, that he loved them in his whole life. Neither Ruby nor Kyle knew how to deal with him moving and they had a really horrible trainwreck of miscommunication that resulted in them both hurting each other and no longer speaking. Five years later, Ruby is now a junior lawyer and she finds herself on a divorce case where the opposing lawyer is Kyle. He has moved back to Chicago and seeing Ruby again reminds him how much he felt for her. Both are still angry with each other, but they both want answers as to what really happened between them. Neither of them have ever really moved on or found another relationship since then. They realize that they both made major mistakes that resulted in the ended of their relationship. They find that their chemistry is still explosive but both are afraid to trust each other. Kyle comes up with a plan to build trust between them again and it works beautifully. They find that they never really stopped loving each other and now that they are older and more mature, they are able to work things out between them.
I really liked Ruby and Kyle together. They were a perfect match for each other. Ruby was funny and sweet. Kyle was strong but also vulnerable. He adored Ruby and was really great at dealing with her distrust and manipulating the situation between them so that it worked out. They both had met their match in each other, especially in the bedroom. They both wanted to play with D/s and push boundaries with each other, and it was totally hot. But it was also sweet and respectful. I loved the macroon making scene. And there is a scene where they played with Joseph and Noemi (from Three Little Mistakes) and I felt like it was handled really well I enjoyed seeing glimpses of the other Blindfold couples too, especially Joseph and Noemi (enough that I am now re-reading their book because I missed them). There are also a few side characters that I'm hoping will get their own books (Julius, Grant) in the future too.
Overall, this was a great book and I loved Kyle and Ruby's journey to their HEA. I would have loved an epilogue because I felt like the last conflict was resolved really close to the end. I re-read this book after I read it once because I wasn't sure how I felt about the final conflict, but upon re-reading it, I felt like I was okay with what happened and how it was resolved. Kyle and Ruby really loved each other and were very sweet together. This series is one of my favorites and I can't wait for more from Ms. Sloane!

Three Sweet Nothings by Nikki Sloane is already the 5th book in ‘the Blindfold Club series’. Like the other books in the series it tells the story of two people working out a relationship, with some little added kink. Three Sweet Nothings can be read as a standalone, but I recommend you read the whole series. Not only to get a better understanding of some of the side characters, but because they are great stories.
Kyle and Ruby are both lawyers who spend most of their time working and both haven’t had a serious relationship for some time. In college, Ruby and Kyle were a couple; a friendship turned into much more, and both were not afraid to experiment. But things ended badly; miscommunication, wrong assumptions and hurt feelings do that to a couple. Now, five years later, Kyle and Ruby meet again while representing their clients. The attraction is still there, but there are also questions and unspoken words.
Seeing each other again for the first time after their ‘break-up’ re-opens old wounds. It’s not so much the breakup itself, but more the not knowing why it all ended. Both Ruby and Kyle walked away thinking the other one just left without saying goodbye. Kyle and Ruby have lived a life when apart, are older now and more in tune with their (sexual) desires. Kyle is interested in the BDSM, and after talking to a friend of his sister Payton, he offers Ruby a ‘contract’. Soon it’s about more than just sex and love takes over.
Three Sweet Nothings is a second-chance romance. Kyle and Ruby’s first chance in college ended badly, but now they can make it work. I love this couple, they have great chemistry and are willing to act on their sexual desires. Like in the other books by Nikki Sloane there is a scene where the leading couple is sexually engaged with other people, but it doesn’t take anything away from the growing bond between them. Both Kyle and Ruby are open minded, sexual confident and not afraid to voice their fantasies. It was good to see the couples from the previous books, especially Joseph and Noemi.
I love Three Sweet Nothings, I give the story of Ruby and Kyle 5 stars.

“I’d convinced her to give me a shot once. Could I do it again? And… did I really want to? There were days when simply hearing her name scraped at the hole left where she’d ripped my heart out.”

“I’d waited five years for contact, waited for his apology. So when I finally got to hear his deep, sexy voice and the first words weren’t, “I’m so fucking sorry that I’m a piece of shit asshole,” I almost reached across the table and slapped him.”

“God, it’s like you can read my mind. My dirty, dirty mind.” I set her down on the bed and began to strip. “What am I thinking about right now?” “That I’m amazing, and you love me?” I couldn’t have smiled wider if I tried. “You’re absolutely right.”

“I love you, Ruby. There’s nothing that’s going to change that.” There was more emotion on his face than ever before. His eyes filled with longing. “It’s always been you.”

4.5 stars. Kyle McCreary is Payton's older brother and if you've met Payton, then you know a little bit about her upbringing. Seeing as Kyle comes from the same set of impassive, high society and image preserving parents, it's no surprise that Kyle is very driven, motivated, assertive and a bit withdrawn when it comes to emotional expressions. After being away in New York for 5 years, he's begrudgingly back in Chicago, working as an attorney in his father's firm. His ex-girlfriend, Ruby Carter, is also an attorney. When they went their separate ways, it left a trail of pain and heartbreak never to be forgotten or repeated. And while a committed relationship might be out of the question, the sexual chemistry is still as hot as ever and has so much potential for exploration that they can't pass this opportunity up.
I loved Kyle, he's looks like a male version of Payton and is on an equal scale of handsome as Dominic, so he's obviously intelligent, irresistible and sexy. As for Ruby, she's fiery, passionate and impulsive, especially when it comes to her emotions. She's led by her feelings and has a tendency to leap before she looks, whereas Kyle is pragmatic and level headed, weighing all of his risks before he takes any chances. There's no doubt that they have no problems opening up in the bedroom, but completely shut down or lash out when it comes to actually talking about what they want from each other outside of physical intimacy. I really enjoyed their dynamic because even if Kyle tried to maintain distance, he was falling deep and was just as absorbed as Ruby was the whole time. Except Kyle had a plan rolling in motion whereas Ruby was wondering when she could convince him to switch gears. And they are scorching together, there's no question that Nikki Sloane knows how to write those scenes and make them new and interesting, yet fit the couple, with each book in this series. The intricate dynamics and control is always so addicting. And I liked the balance between Kyle and Ruby, where it wasn't a set-up that could point fingers at one of them more so than the other in the fault department because they both made mistakes. If you've been reading this series and loving each couple, this is another one not to miss. And yet I still can't get enough and look forward to the next book.

I have read and loved every, single book in the Blindfold Club series. When I found out that Nikki Sloane was releasing her fifth book in this series, I was so excited to read it. The added bonus was this one is about Payton's brother, Kyle. Payton was my favorite character in Three Hard Lessons.
Kyle has moved back to Chicago from New York to work in his fathers law firm. Ruby is an attorney as well. Kyle and Ruby have a past together, and when they come together once again, the chemistry is crazy. I am a sucker for second chance romances but throw in Nikki's talent for writing phenomenal and steamy sex scenes, and I am one happy book junkie. Not only is this book scorching hot, but it also has a message to relay. Communication is such a huge part of any relationship. When we neglect to communicate with the person we love, then our walls come up to protect our heart.
Even if you don't normally like this specific genre, you will love Kyle and Ruby's story. It is important to me as a reader to be able to enjoy the book I am reading, but not only that, but also to be able to see and understand the message the author is trying to convey to us.
You will not regret reading this, and no worries, there is no need to read the previous books. I do guarantee though if you read Three Sweet Nothings, you will instantly want to read all of the other previous books in this series. Yes, they are just that good!!
