This work was originally published as Star of Wonder (The Kinky Truth series). It has been newly edited and revised for this version. The story, plot, and characters remain the same.
Unexpected…
Dante Tieri, the billionaire benefactor of Chicago’s most exciting bash for military personnel, is also one of the city’s most sinful single men. Italian, driven, and unapologetically rich, Dante is in full control of his world—until his world is turned on its axis in the middle of his own party.
Unprepared…
Lieutenant Celina Kouris, a Naval JAG officer, can’t care less about Dante’s clothes, looks or billion-dollar bank account. It isn’t easy for her to play nice with Dante, as she’s watched wealthy playboys ruin the lives of two people she loves—but when she learns he’s more than a stunning face, luscious body, and fat wallet, she succumbs to one night of hardcore passion with the legendary lover, including the domination that turns her blood to fire.
Undeniable…
Celina isn’t the only one who thinks “mind-blowing sex” just got redefined. Dante is shaken by the needs Celina unleashes in him, and he consults with his best friend, Mark Moore, who opens his world to the magic of Dominance and submission. But when Dante wants to explore more with Celina, her walls are back up, twice as high as before. Can Dante push himself—and Celina—past their walls of fear, into the magic of submitting to their destiny?

Suited For Sin: Submit (previously published as Star of Wonder in the Kinky Truth Series) just proves that the amazing Angel Payne really has magic. This is not just another romance novel, or even just an erotic romance novel. It’s also not just another novel about BDSM. It’s about the uniqueness of Power Exchange or Dominance and Submission. There’s a lot to be learned and enjoyed on a personal level even if it’s not something you’re into.
Dante Tieri…who wouldn’t love a gorgeous Italian man who can make you strip without even moving? But what got to me was his vulnerability. Hard to believe, right? A strong, confident even cocky, Italian being vulnerable to a woman who has no idea of her worth? Especially when that man learns something new about himself that opens a whole new world for him? Just…WOW.
Celina Kouris…a lieutenant, a Naval JAG officer, a beautiful woman who makes Dante tremble and lose focus. Gah I love it! She knows that Dante is wealthy and it’s a turn-off for her thanks to some personal and familial heartbreak. And what she in turn learns from him is simply amazing and is a lesson she’ll never forget.
As usual, Angel Payne rocks! She took me from smirking to sighing to rubbing the ache out of my chest to belly laughs to grins of glee. I always feel a little hungover when I finish any book she has written. For me, that’s a good thing because it proves to me that she’s a powerful craftswoman. I loved this story and it hits pretty close to home for me and taught me some new things as a person. On the hotness scale, it’s beyond burning. I have two words for you to remember if you haven’t read this yet: playroom and demonstration. Holy hotness!!!
Hot. Intense. Insightful. Intriguing. All consuming.
Those are a few words to sum up the book.
Submit is book 3 in the Suited For Sin series (previously published under Star Of Wonder in the Kinky Truth series) and it follows the life of Dante Tieri and Celina Kouris.
Dante: a strong minded, cocky, confident, wealthy, Italian alpha lad who can make you go weak the knees and make your panties hit the floor so fast you don’t know it even happen. What can I say? I have a weakness for his type! But behind this hard and strong wall is a man who’s has a vulnerable side, a side that only Celina can bring out of him.
Celina: a lieutenant, a navy a JAG officer and someone that couldn’t give a crap about how much money the man has, she actually despises it and it goes against all the things she believes in. She’s a woman who can make Dante go weak with just one word uttered from her lips and she’s practically one of the boys, after growing up in a house full of boys and she doesn’t shy away from cussing out and I love it!
The two of them together wasn’t only HOT as hell but it was intriguing and the power exchange between the two of them was insightful. The sex scenes between the two of them were on fire, the chemistry off the charts!
Once again, Angel Payne blows me away.. the more books of hers I read, the more I become obsessed with her words! She’s a master at her craft and has the ability to turn a BDSM romance into something so much more insightful and powerful. This book was NOT your typical BDSM novel, there was so much more to the story and it kept me on my toes all the way through.
There's many stories written about that magic moment, the moment two hearts become one, stars collide and two people realize the depth of feelings and emotions they have for another. However, Angel Payne's moment or moments between Dante and Celina is such a powerful collision of two souls that you will be in a book hangover for weeks.
"Their bond was formed with a language that needed no words, entwined with an energy that was part of their DNA. A man and his mate. A leader and his helper. Primal and simple, yet more complex and perfect than every damn psychology book out there."
Dante in this book, brings so much inferno to the table. First I have to say this. Angel, thank you for keeping it real and all of the dialogue in Italian. Celina is the strong Navy woman, but she met her match. Dante...according to Celina he us a " bazillion". He is on his own journey. Dante is learning he is a Dom, and she is the only submissive he wants...he needs. With the help of his beat friend Mark, Rose...Mark's wife. Her friends...Celina gets the best awakening. This seems like the book in this series. I love it.
Whoa! That one right there, was epic, fast, and in your face heartbeat "I wanna "F" her but at the same time I'm gonna smother her with my emotions and I'm gonna make her mine and happy and release her beauty!!! Loved it!
I finished this book. Although it has been a few days ago since I finished it. I did love reading it very much. Apparently this was not saved when I did it.
