This is a
very entertaining combo of thriller and erotic romance. It's also the perfect
vehicle to explore the world of BDSM, slave training and kinky lifestyle. It's
intense, but it actually paints this kind of relationship with respect.
It was
eye-opening to me in the way that it provides a shocking but illustrative start
to how a woman would be trained to become a willing sex slave. The reader
becomes Danielle, sensual but innocent in those ways. She harbours hidden
longings secretly bonded to a man she craves since she was a teenager, but also
despises because he was responsible for a family tragedy.
The best
thing of this plot is that she enters his training programme not on her own
accord. Mysterious men have kidnapped her stepmother, forcing Danielle to lie
and spy for them.
To me, this
is a really provocative and arousing premise. It made me really look forward to
finding out so many things. For example, would she succeed in her spy category
despite her inexperience? Would her Master hurt her because she wasn't prepared
for this double-edged world? Or destroy her when he found out she was deceiving
him? What about the kidnappers? Would they kill her even if she accomplished
her mission? Oh, so many questions, and they were all answered in unexpected
and wonderful ways :o)
Without any
hesitation, I confess this story has enthralled me. I'd have liked to read
Cole's perspective, oh the Master!, but even without it, it has all worked
wonderfully. Danielle's training goes forward slowly through classes, scenes
and detailed possibilities in the BDSM lifestyle. The narrative is very graphic
and will linger in your mind for a long time.
At the same
time, Danielle plots to get the information as commanded by her stepmother's
kidnappers. It was thrilling and dangerous. The most tantalizing part is the
intimacy she shares with Cole. He's aloof, professional, and that hurts her,
but he cannot deny his attraction. The wax scene is really memorable. And it's
followed by a rich, mind-blowing chain of scenes that become more original and
arousing as the plot thickens. Surprises keep coming from all corners such as scary
things related to the criminals that have cornered Danielle into this lie,
sensuality between an increasingly interesting Master and her. I also loved the
scene with Logan when he asks Danielle questions to ascertain what makes her
tick. Artful.
I was
disgusted by the villain of the story as much as I was intrigued by the
criminal plot. As soon as it was swiftly dealt with, the main tension point
focuses again on a personal obstacle that threatens Cole and Danielle's
happiness. The, the author throws more plot twists on the unsuspecting reader
and keeps building the stakes, along with extremely steamy scenes that are not
to be forgotten.
I loved the
ending and I'm very satisfied with this hot cocktail of romance, thriller and
voyeuristic BDSM sexiness.
