"She had a feeling his attention could be addictive."

But when her marriage failed after one month, due to his cheating, she wanted to start fresh; start over. On a business trip, she takes the opportunity to visit the local club as a guest. While there she meets Simon and he takes her on a journey that she will never forget. But things don ...more

In S.J. Maylee's ""Taking Courage", Janna and Simon get off on the wrong foot. In fact, they get off on the wrong FEET. They met and shared something wonderful, but thanks to a naive mistake, that wonderful thing is ruined.
I don't like to give away spoilers, but I want to tell you so much more! I love S.J. Maylee's books. She writes beautifully with a nice, smooth feel. She gives us the right amount of angst without overwhelming you. Just because there's conflict, it doesn't mean that the main c ...more

Prep list before you start reading this book: 1. A comfortable spot 2. A glass of wine 3. A vibrator and finally total privacy. Not an exaggeration if the chemistry between Janna and Simon upon first meeting isn’t enough to melt your undies off some of their scenes definitely will do the trick! Janna has always done what her father has told her to do even down to what man she should marry. Finally she has had enough she divorces her husband and decides to take her life into her own hands.

S.J. Maylee needs to write longer books. I wanted this story in a full length novel. One absolute strength in her writing, is that with a novella, she doesn't leave anything out. The story line was well developed, flowed, and kept me engaged. But I wanted it longer just because of the story itself.
Janna meets Simon. She moved to Chicago to escape her old life and BDSM becomes a part of that new life. Not only can S.J. Maylee write a BDSM scene, but this story is not all about the BDSM life. The ...more

Janna has had enough of her families demands and her freedom being stripped from her. She finally decides to make a bread for it and head off to Chicago for some much needed me time. Janna has been fascinated with the BDSM and tries her hand at a Club. That is where she meets Simon she is intrigued with him and is ex ...more

I received an arc of this book for my honest review.

She pretends to be more experienced and when she admits it's her first time Simon is pissed. So, Simons friend hires her and forces them to deal with each other. It was well written, not a whole lot of D/s, at least not the super sexy kind. There is some ...more

S.J. Maylee fell in love with storytelling at a young age and with it came a deep-seated desire for everyone to find their happily ever after. She’s finding the happy endings for her characters one steamy story at a time.
