4* BDSM guide for newbie... kind of. STARS!
Sierra Cartwright is well-know author for BDSM theme. I haven't read Initiation in other media, so this is my first time. I wouldn't categorize this book as a romance story because I feel this book only focus for exploring the BDSM side for newbie. Yeah, kinda like that. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it very much even with some minor 'complaints'.
The story itself didn't tell much. Mostly focused on how Jennifer Berklee; a newbie in BDSM (never have a real scene) met the most intense man like Logan Powell. They've been paired up with their best friends for a weekend. I must say, their chemistry was instant and already attracted to each other. At first, Logan never consider to has permanent sub because the last one bailed on him. Yeah, he was kinda jerk but his job demands him so much.
Logan and Jennifer spent their weekend exploring together. He is really a HOT dominant and I loved it. Logan like a true portrait of a Dom should be so far. Not the wannabe. He's also patient and caring towards Jennifer. She's also very likable woman. Independent and quick learner. She didn't really 'search' for a relationship but somehow Logan make her feel safe and loving. BDSM always based on trust and I think both of them already have it. I think everything was too rushed because they're know each other only the cover; not deeply enough.
Despite the very short story, I enjoyed their chemistry. They have really deep and panties-melting BDSM scenes. Nothing scary and hard limit for me. Their connection were honest and amazing. They talk out their feeling in the end because they really want a relationship. Comfort is another important things. I liked how Logan can be sweet outside their scenes. I would love to recommend this book! :)

I must admit, I'm really not into books with BDSM as I find this too hot to handle. I can take erotic romance stories, but those with floggers and submission topics, I kind of felt weird. The first and last book I read of this kind was the Fifty Shades series. But there's always a second time, right?
I got Initiation by Sierra Cartwright because I liked the premise. It was interesting to read about a woman who had been so curious about BDSM that she decided to join a "scene" in a play party. Sadly, she was disappointed with the outcome because her Dom wasn't really "game" about it. If only she'd chosen the stunningly sexy man who offered to scene with her next time...
The one that got me interested really was Logan Powell. A private investigator who got his heart burned, he brought pleasures and seduction to opposite sex, but was determined not to fall for their crazy-in-love antics. But this guy surprised me with his guts. He deserved to be called Master for some reasons.
Sierra Cartwright's writing is great, easy to grasp and very engaging. The play between the Dom and his sub was way too explosive and searing hot! She's definitely the author that E.L. James should watch out for. Because this one's really racier than 50 Shades, indeed!

5 Star Review Initiation by Sierra Cartwright
I loved Hawkeye agent Logan Powell and the woman who captured his attention Jennifer Berklee’ story. From the first chapter to the last I was invested in the story that Ms. Cartwright wove.
Logan has avoided relationships until he sets eyes on Jennifer, there is something about her that calls to his soul and he feels a deep connection. However Jennifer has been burnt, having recently been left at the altar.
When fate puts these two together, walls will crumble and they quickly become invested in both an emotional and BDSM relationship. When danger puts Logan’s life at risk will it tear them apart or bring them together?
I loved the push and pull of the relationship, the sexual tension built until it threatened to explode. The chemistry between them was off the charts and I really enjoyed how their relationship developed. much they challenged each other both in and out of the bedroom.
Over the last 12 months I have found myself gravitating to the romantic suspense genre and in my humble opinion Sierra Cartwight’s Hawkeye series is a fine example. Throw in the fact that it also contains BDSM and I am all in.

I'll make it so damn good that you'll forget your name. And bonus points if you scream mine.
Hawkeye agent, Logan has been burned in the past. His job doesn't leave a lot of room for socializing and his hectic schedule is too much for most women to put up with for the long haul.
Jennifer thought she had everything planned out, until her fiance dumps her out of the blue and leaves her in a stump she's still feeling her way out of.
A chance encounter throws these two together and their instant attraction is at first, unnerving - the powerful pull between two virtual strangers - but when fate *cough* Meddling! *cough* friends bring them together, they won't be able to resist their mutual pull and they spend a steamy weekend giving into every fantasy and desire that springs between them.
But when Logan's job interrupts their cozy weekend getaway, will they both fight for a chance to take their spontaneous relationship out in the real world?
I'm probably going to sound like a broken record here but Sierra Cartwright knows how to write a story brimming with heat, heart and kink! The strong men & women of Hawkeye are a group you will want to read more of with each knew character introduced.
Logan and Jennifer are characters you can relate too. They are every day people with jobs, goals (outside the bedroom!) and watching them navigate the tricky field of love is uniquely their. I loved that we get a bit of realism and real life problems the characters have to resolve before they can get to the HEA. It makes things more believable and more lasting, IMO. Highly recommend!

Review:
If you enjoy reading about BDSM, I think that you will enjoy this book as much as I did. I have read a few books by Sierra Cartwright and I don’t think that I have ever been disappointed. I understand that this book is part of a series, but I am not sure if it will pick up where this book left off, or if it will be a new story. This book can be read as a stand alone, but I for one would like to see more happen between Dom Logan Powell and Sub Jennifer Berklee. The plot of this story has our two main characters meeting at a mutual friend's BDSM party. First time sub Jennifer is paired off with a Dom that does nothing for her. Now she is questioning whether this lifestyle is for her. As she is leaving, she meets Dom Logan and there is a connection. He gives her his card, but she is hesitant to reach out. Dom Logan would love for the newbie sub to call him. He knows that he can make her experience everything that she imagined. Maybe it is better if they don’t get together. After his last relationship ended he felt unable to commit to another woman. Their friends know better than they do however. When they are set up to be together, Logan becomes a full Dom getting Jennifer to submit and stay with him. The chemistry between Logan and Jennifer is pretty hot. There is some pretty intense play in this short book. The story moves along quickly, but I was left wanting more. Good ending, but I am curious is that all there is? There is very little character development, but we do learn that Logan is a very nice dom.

4.5* of sexiness and fabulous chemistry!
Yum, yum, yum! I love this kind of story. Not only is a wonderful connection between the leads, but as well as the everyday humour and informality of new friends, we are given an insight into BDSM. The lack of unnecessary (imo) punishment of a cheeky newbie sub, and the obvious pleasure that the two take in each other's company makes for a really, really enjoyable read. It is simple, effective and incredibly engaging reading.
Don't read any more of the review - go get a copy and enjoy!

This story has been released before but now it's padded out and a lot more hotness added!
Jennifer is a wannabe sub and goes to the club with her friends. She scenes with Master Simon with really does nothing for her. Master Logan sees her leaving, helps her on with her coat and gives him his number.
A party is organised where they are both to attend. When Logan arrives he finds he is the first to get there. Eventually Jennifer turns up. They are the only people at the party. They both recieved messages to say they will be the only guests and to enjoy. Once Jennifer gets over the initial shock of being in the presence of the Dom she has been thinking about, they start to talk. They soon move to the dungeon where Logan introduces Jennifer to BDSM.

A sweet beginner’s BDSM novella.
September 25, 2016
4 Stars, 4 Flames
It seems like the world has fallen into a BDSM frenzy and everyone wants to be a part of it. But how to tell from those who are serious about it or who just jumped on the wagon? Logan has not been part of the scene since his ex eft and isn’t all that sure he really wants to open himself to that hurt again. When he lays eyes on Jennifer at a mutual friend’s play party- he can’t seem to get her off his mind. After a weekend setup by their ‘well-meaning’ friends Jennifer realizes that submitting to Logan awakens a part of her that she never knew existed. They are worth it.
BDSM romance was the first genre that sucked me into the romance genre; now I am happily addicted to it! So many authors have tried to capture the magic of the BDSM genre and sadly fall short. Initiation is a fun and interesting blend of intense and sweet aspects of the lifestyle. It seems to me that Logan wants a full-time sub and believes that Jennifer can be the one. Jennifer was just looking for a fun time but ended stumbling into forever.
Miss Cartwright created a reality that blends the vanilla and BDSM world nicely. It gives you a glimpse of the lifestyle that makes you want to go to a play party and find your own Logan. The only complaint I have of this book was how quickly they fell in love and how accepting she was with her boundaries pushed. Other than that, I really liked the characters’ banter, chemistry, and overall playtime. I will be looking for more of her work and more of this series!

Sierra has done it again and I'm in love <3
It's a story about Logan and Jennifer :) Logan has a mysterious job and a well known BDSM reputation, and Jennifer is business woman, with a bitter taste of past relationship and a newfound taste for BDSM.
This is a story about what happens when you let your desires come true (with a little help from mutual friends and an intentional set up), when you put your faith in a stranger, give a voice to your fantasies, dare to try and at the end gather the courage to go after what you want. And let me tell you, Sierra has every single one of these done down till perfection.
It pulls you into the story,its passion and the strength of its emotions and you can relate and feel it too (wishing for a flogger right now :) !!)
The one thing that always attracts me to a good BDSM story is the relationship between the partners, the trust. And I also learn to love the scare that comes from experiencing something as powerful as that. Sierra knows her business and she makes is THAT GOOD !!!! oh, don't get me started on the rules of the game, and the psychology behind it and overcoming the mental obstacle's to reach the pleasure.
I can go on like this until tomorrow, but my advice is to read it and and get lost in the sizzling heat, passion and kinky f**kery (its been know phrase) !!! Trust me, you will love it

I am totally having a fangirl moment here. First of all, I positively love Sierra Cartwright. Not only is she a completely amazing author and I have everything she's written, but she's am amazing person as well. Just a truly warm and wonderful human being. That being said, can I give you an unbiased review of this book? Absolutely. That's my job. Just like an author's is to write the best work they can every time, that's my job as a reviewer/blogger.
Am I going to give this book a 5 orgasm rating? Absopositively!!! Why you ask? Because it's incredibly well written, the storyline pulls you in from the very first line of the book. I could probably poll every single submissive woman on the planet right now, me included, and they would tell you the same thing. We all the same thing, We want Master Logan! ♥ *sighing*
Logan Powell decides to come out of his self-imposed isolation after cutting off the fairer sex because of a bad breakup four years earlier. He sees neophyte sub Jennifer Berklee. After watching her for a bit, he sees her go with another Dom, the scene goes poorly, and Jennifer bolts. Logan sees his chance and runs after her, but he strikes out.
A few weeks later, he's introduced to her by his friend. Can they make it work this time? You really need to grab a copy of this book and find out for yourself!

Jennifer finally got up the nerve to attend a play party at her friend's house but after accepting an invitation to play with Master Simon she felt quite let down by the whole experience. As she was retrieving her coat to leave, the man whose eyes she had connected with earlier in the evening, was there offering to help with her coat and apologizing for being a neanderthal during their short conversation. He handed her his card with an invitation of his own for her to call him if she wanted the experience. Logan is a Hawkeye Agent who now keeps his emotions in check and his heart guarded. Life taught him a hard lesson. It's been two years since he's been with a woman even though he attends the play parties just to have some kind of contact with other people. What he didn't expect after all this time was the intrigue he felt when he saw Jennifer. 'Initiation' is the first book in Sierra Cartwright's "Hawkeye: Denver" series and it's wonderful! All those experiences and feelings of a first-time BDSM scene, all the new discoveries, all the rollercoaster emotions when you meet a new person are delivered in spades Ms. Cartwright lays out this story for us. I can't wait to see where this plot cliffhanger takes us next.

5 Star Review Initiation by Sierra Cartwright
I loved Hawkeye agent Logan Powell and the woman who captured his attention Jennifer Berklee’ story. From the first chapter to the last I was invested in the story that Ms. Cartwright wove.
Logan has avoided relationships until he sets eyes on Jennifer, there is something about her that calls to his soul and he feels a deep connection. However Jennifer has been burnt, having recently been left at the altar.
When fate puts these two together, walls will crumble and they quickly become invested in both an emotional and BDSM relationship. When danger puts Logan’s life at risk will it tear them apart or bring them together.
I loved the push and pull of the relationship, the sexual tension built until it threatened to explode. The chemistry between them was off the charts and I really enjoyed how their relationship developed. much they challenged each other both in and out of the bedroom.
Over the last 12 months I have found myself gravitating to the romantic suspense genre and in my humble opinion Sierra Cartwight’s Hawkeye series is a fine example. Throw in the fact that it also contains BDSM and I am all in.

Logan has avoided relationships until he sets eyes on Jennifer, there is something about her that calls to his soul and he feels a deep connection. However Jennifer has been burnt, having recently been left at the altar.
When fate puts these two together, walls will crumble and they quickly become invested in both an emotional and BDSM relationship. When danger puts Logan’s life at risk will it tear them apart or bring them together.
I loved the push and pull of the relationship, the sexual tension built until it threatened to explode. The chemistry between them was off the charts and I really enjoyed how their relationship developed. much they challenged each other both in and out of the bedroom.

Wish it were longer, absolutely enjoyed meeting Master Logan and Jennifer.
Immediately warmed to Logan, we get a great oversight of him, on why he didn’t ‘do’ relationships and we learn a bit more about him through Jennifer.
Jennifer is a great lady, very intrigued with the BDSM scene, she has a great group of friends who help her to get over her fears, and to make her face them head on.
Loved the deviousness of Joe and Noelle, they were friends first and foremost of Logan and Jennifer, but also could foresee them as a couple.
Their scenes were smoking hot, and I wonder how many ladies were wishing it were them, a fan and clean undies are a must.
They had a great relationship, even their dynamic D/s relationship in its intimacy lends promise to a wonderful long lasting relationship.
Great page turner, great sexy scenes, 2 very independent strong people, well developed characters. I’m hoping they pop up in the rest of the series.

This book was previously read as part of an anthology but has now been expanded. We get to delve a bit deeper into Logan and Jennifer's relationship. It was a great read to begin with but the expansion has taken the heat level up several notches. Scorching!! Well meaning friends conspire to bring these two together after a lack lustre first step into BDSM for Jennifer. Master Logan does not disappoint Jennifer, once she was over the initial shock of being alone with him. Her world of BDSM just opened up and I don't think she'll turn back after that proper introduction by Master Logan.

Wow! I loved Sierra Cartwright's Master Class: Initiation! This is one sexy and very intense read!!! Logan is a Master I would love to play with! He is incredibly hot, and the chemistry between him and Jennifer is incredible! This new version of Initiation goes more into their relationship! This was initially released in the Bound, Spanked and Loved Anthology but wow did Sierra add some steam to this one! Where can I find me a Logan...... ❤️❤️❤️

The extended version of Logan and Jennifer was even better. Teach me please and make all my fantasies come true, Master Logan. We both can believe again. SO HAWT!!!!

I love it. A short read but it was fantastic. Granted I'd love to have a longer story but it fit. It kept me going and made me anxious for the next book in the series.

I had some mixed feelings about this book. Overall I did enjoy it - it was hot and sexy and I liked the characters. Jennifer Berklee has been curious about BDSM and her friend finally gets her to attend a play party where she has a less than satisfying experience. Logan Powell sees her - he's been putting most of his energies in his work and hasn't been interested in playing or a relationship since his last one crashed and burned. But something about Jennifer intrigues him, and he gets an opportunity to show her how good BDSM can be. My two problems with this book - first of all, it was too short. There was so much about the characters that could have been explored, but wasn't. Also, there were several times during the scenes that I couldn't get my mind around where body parts were and this sometimes took me out of the story trying to picture what was going on in my mind. That said, I love this author and her books are always hot, hot, hot!!

I love when Ms Cartwright writes a Hawkeye book. I just love them. It now seems she is subdividing these books and Initiation is Book 1 of the Denver series. Yeah! I love the strong characters she writes about. It is hard to say what stands out about this book because every book I read is amazing. She brings such depth to her characters; depth that also comes with baggage, but because of how she writes, they can overcome their prior bad experiences to find an HEA together. She writes this genre very well. Now I am sure I have read a shorter version of this story in an anthology a couple of years back, but it did not detract from this story for me, but it might be a good idea to mention that in the preamble. It was a bit shorter of a story, but I still very much enjoyed it. Now I am left wondering who will be in book 2.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Sometimes people put walls up to see who is strong enough to break them down...
Karma, or as some people would say, fate or destiny. All of these words describe the coupling of Logan and Jennifer.
Logan, a Hawkeye PI has his emotions and heart all locked up in an impenetrable box. That is until he sees Jennifer. He is gut punched in the stomach with feelings he has not had since forever. Jennifer is devastated as her fiancé left her literally at the altar. Jennifer has been interested in the BDSM lifestyle for some time now, but she is feeling unfulfilled. Logan changes all that and more. She is immediately drawn to him. Their chemistry is electric.
Logan's job puts him in dangerous situations , can Jennifer handle that? Their journey together is filled with suspense, erotic sizzling sex and emotional give and take. Another incredible story by Ms. Cartwright.

Honest to god, no one writes a hotter, more addicting, intense, ‘welcome’ to a BDSM read, than Sierra Cartwright. Initiation is just that. Jennifer is new to the BDSM scene, but isn’t ignorant or dumb. None of this authors women are. It’s one of the greatest things about her writing. All her female leads are smart, professional and driven. Jennifer knows it’s something she wants to pursue, but has a pretty disappointing start. Enter Logan Powell. Really, there should be background music right now! Logan is a very experienced Dom who has an immediate interest in Jennifer, the type of interest he hasn’t had in a long time. Fast forward, and friends set them up to explore a D/s relationship which is turns absolutely explosive! These are two mature adults who understand that when a connection clicks, you take a risk. Of course there are obstacles. Their jobs, his needs (requests? Demands?), her independence, and trust. The bottom, line; trust. But their time together on the arranged weekend proves to both of them that they definitely click. The ‘Initiation’ Jennifer experiences under Logan is tangible to the reader. I found myself squirming and wincing a few times, then swiveling in my chair and even being grateful I haven’t put my air conditioning away for the season yet! Just when you think Logan is going too far, his Dominance proves its purity in his care and attention for Jennifer. She wants this, but needs to be shown how to ask for it, how to assert her power, and Logan gives her that at every turn. Jennifer is also one not to back down. Her insecurity at one point is natural and not over dramatized. She meets Logan toe to toe and insists on being heard. But when you have a Dom like Logan, you need to be ready to turn your heart and soul over – it will be kept safe. This read says Book #1 and I certainly hope there are many more to come. Sierra Cartwright just keeps getting better and better. If you are new to her writing, welcome! Enjoy the ride! Her Donovan Dynasty series is probably my favorite, but we’ll see where this goes!

Logan isn't looking for love, he isn't even looking for a sub. And then he sees Jennifer. Is she what he never knew he needed? Jennifer isn't looking for, she isn't even looking for a dom. But then she sees Logan. Can he fulfill a need she is learning to accept?
I enjoyed this story by Sierra Cartwright. Jennifer and Logan were lost until friends decided to give them an opportunity. Would they make the best of it or will fear hold them back? I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Jennifer embrace her inner submissive. And I loved seeing Logan regain his joy in dominance. The chemistry between Logan and Jennifer felt real as they journeyed toward a happily ever.

When the author informed us that she was going to be taking the story we all loved from the anthology and expand on it to create a longer series version. Well I was hesitant but boy she didn't disappoint.
This extended edition is sexy as hell and allows us to go deeper into Logan and Jennifer's story. And boy does Sierra turn up the heat. When their friends set them up Jennifer's safe little world is turned upside down by master Logan. And once her eyes are open to a whole new world well there's no closing them again
Has this been previously published? yes, is it worth rereading? hell yeah.

I enjoyed this book right until the end.
The sentence ended, I thought a chapter was turning and it turned out to be the book was finished… almost mid thought, and certainly with no denouement. I thought maybe it was merely an abrupt cliffhanger, but when I checked out book 2 in the series, the story and characters were not related. Most frustrating. Seriously, I was at 5 stars for the enjoyment of the rest of the book, but the ending (or, rather, the lack of it) ruined it.
I would be willing to try other works by this author, I just hope if I do try one, it has a more complete ending.
