As an FBI agent, Josh Barnes believed he’d seen it all--until he meets Jennifer. She’s smart, sassy, gorgeous, and running for her life, but from whom, Josh has yet to figure out. Her story of an ex-husband is a lie. The truth about who is after her and why is even more unbelievable. Unfortunately, the danger of her situation does nothing to stop the lust that ignites every time they get close to one another.
Josh is a Dom and Jennifer an innocent in the ways of BDSM. He has no business introducing her to his dark world of bondage, domination, and kinky sex, especially when the people after Jennifer could find her at any moment. But Josh can’t resist the pull and finds, to his delight, that Jennifer is excited by his slightly unorthodox sexual appetites.
Needing to put an end to the danger stalking his new sub, Josh comes up with a plan. Turn the tables and make the hunters the prey. The trick will be putting their plan into motion, before they’re found, because Josh has already lost his heart to Jennifer and the burning desire that rages between them.
Hi. I’m an erotic romantic suspense author. I write for Liquid Silver Books, Loose-ID, and Ellora’s Cave.
I live in the land of dreams, where alpha men are tender, heroines are strong and sassy, and villains are brutal and conniving. When not deep in the mind of my next serial killer, ghost or futuristic space pilot, I can be found in the mountains of TN, spending time with family and friends. At least until the next story calls.
This is my homebase. Make yourself comfortable.

3 1/2 stars rounded to 4.
Unsure of who to trust, Jennifer turns to Linda, the best friend of her deceased mother. Hiding out in rural Tennessee, she hopes that by laying low the people who kidnapped her six years ago will never find her. She trusts Linda so when she invites FBI agent Josh Barnes to help her with the remodeling of her house, she agrees to let him stay with her.
Josh is on leave from the FBI after being shot. He needs the time away from the city, the life and the dangers that come from being an agent. Little does he know that he may be walking into danger.
I really enjoyed this book, but I wish there had been more story and resolution regarding the Jennifer's kidnapping.

Here is a BDSM newbie story wrapped up in an FBI alpha male / escaped kidnap victim encounter. Jennifer has spent 6 years as the prisoner of evil researchers trying to tap her powers, and has finally found freedom. She is trying to stay hidden, so a family friend calls in a favour with Josh, on sick leave from the FBI. When they first meet, it is not chemistry that causes a problem, but sparks of electrical current. Before they know it these tingles become normality!
I did enjoy this story, although it races through some plot lines faster than was necessary.
This is a nice addition to the Crime & punishment series. As usual with a Trista Michael's book, the sexual scene are extremely erotic. While this isn't my favorite, I did enjoy it. I would just liked to see a bit more suspense. This one more about a dom/submisive relationship. Anyone who enjoys a book with strong BDSM elements will love Burning Submission. Happy reading!
