5+++ panty dropping stars *****spoiler free with the exception of quotes******

I have a new favorite author to add to my list of favorites. ~~Vanessa~~ Mistress Fewings. This woman knows how to write broody, mysterious, sexy, dark male leads and she makes it seem so effortless. Those of us who read two, three or more books a week, know how difficult it is to find an author who can write characters with such depth.

This is the third book I've read from this author so it came to no surprise that 5+++ panty dropping stars *****spoiler free with the exception of quotes******

I have a new favorite author to add to my list of favorites. ~~Vanessa~~ Mistress Fewings. This woman knows how to write broody, mysterious, sexy, dark male leads and she makes it seem so effortless. Those of us who read two, three or more books a week, know how difficult it is to find an author who can write characters with such depth.

This is the third book I've read from this author so it came to no surprise that the writing was mature as were the characters. I was also pleasantly surprised by the story. I expected something cliché.
Um.......No.
Considering all the BDSM books out there, this was completely original and the exceptional writing made it even more so.

I'll start with the heroine. Mia...

  
    "Mia, they're sex balls," said Penny.
My jaw dropped. "You mean you put them in your....?"
 "Yes," said Scarlet.
I placed the box on the table. "It's bad enough having to put a tampon up there let alone something like this."
Silence reined and I read nothing but surprise on their faces.
 "Ok then," said Richard and he headed out with his coffee.
I waited for him to leave. "Monsieur Trourville asked me to put this in each time he visited. I thought they were earrings."

To mistaken Mia's naïveté for weakness would be a mistake. There was nothing weak or annoying about her character, in fact, I found her to be quit endearing.
I loved reading this story from her POV.

Richard and Cameron. Good Lord, I was completely lost in book heaven with these two. Their characters were AFUCKINGMAZING!! I can't say enough about their character development, except that there's no way they are fictional. Nope. No way.
~~Vanessa~~ Mistress Fewings, when you are through with Cameron please send him my way.

The interaction between these two best friends was fantastic.

Cameron

  
    "I prefer to think of myself as a connoisseur of dark arts."

Richard

  
    "What the fuck, Cameron! What the fucking, fuckerty, fuck." He threw his phone amongst the bushes.
"We'll, that took care of that bit of business."

Together

  
    "I may well be the flame but Cameron's the one who loves to watch you burn"

There are plenty of other characters in this book who were also engaging. The dominatrix and the heroines best friend were wonderful secondary characters and did not dominate this book. They were perfectly blended in.

For those who love triangles, you'll get a small smidgen of it. Not much really.
For those who hate triangles, no worries. There's no back and forth drama.

What you'll get is a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat turning pages because you can't put it down. It's dripping with sexual tension and a couple of seriously hot men. It also has a very captivating story line. I was sucked in and I didn't want the story to ever end.

The ending had a nice twist (view spoiler) It was a good shocker though.

Regardless of that, this book took a permanent vacation to my favorites shelf as it's (IMO) the best book I've read in this type of genre since 50.

I will be ~~patiently~~ impatiently waiting for the next book.

Read this people! You won't be disappointed.

I want to thank my goodreads buddy RomanceBookVixen for buddy reading this with me.

Let me start by saying that this review won't be as detailed as it was going to be because as I was finishing it, I lost everything I'd been typing. Therefore, here is the shorthand version of what I previously wrote.

Also, I want to say that I respect all writers for putting themselves out there and putting out their vision. This one just didn't quiet work for me.

Mixed feelings about this one. I had a hard time with Mia. She didn't really make sense to me. She is innocent - seriously innocent. (Oddly innocent) - innocent in a shy - totally out of touch with her sexuality way. But, then she jumps into - and does things that even someone more experienced would have trouble with. It just seemed like too much - without enough backlash.

And honestly - while I liked her - I just didn't get why she was such a special snow flake that everyone loves her immediate ...more
