review 1: I loved the first book, and I can't wait to read the next book with Rachel and her two men. But this book was really hard for me to even finish. I won't summarize, but just list my dislikes.1. I never believed Blade loved her. Ever. In the beginning, he's standoff-ish because of her abusive past, but once she comes to him for "training", I feel we should have seen some tenderness even if he was keeping his distance. He was really harsh with her their first time around then out of nowhere at the end he was very angry and cold toward her then again tender. I think the author was trying to show his struggle to stay distant from her while in love with her, but it just came off badly.2. I cannot even describe how mad I was with Blade's "test". If she had said she wanted... more to try something like that then fine. But she had already confessed that she came to him because her only other experience with sex was rape - repeated rape...by her boyfriend. She came to him because she trusted him to help her find the joy and pleasure in lovemaking. And he throws this crap at her? To see if she responded to just anyone that way???? I finished it after this point only to see if I would need to know anything for the next book, but I was thoroughly done with it after this.3. I hate, hate, HATE that the author had the heroine going after him to apologize and try to fix their relationship! Really!!! After a huge breach of her trust by the "hero", she's going after him to save their relationship. He's all broken up, but he can't bring himself to push her by apologizing to her??!!??UGH! I'm just seriously upset by this book. Not because of the BDSM, which is mild, but because of the characters and the plot. I will definitely keep reading because I'm thinking this one is a fluke. Let's hope!!
review 2: There was the obsessive-stalker-ex-husband plot again and the expected interaction with characters from previous books, but together with the author's well written scenes and story's fast pace make up for a very entertaining erotic reading.HERO is a Leader, co-owner of a bdsm club, who's been patiently awaiting for the woman he loves to overcome the trauma caused by her abusive exhusband.SCENES/CONTENT: several/bdsmGENRE/TONE: contemporary/mixedLENGHT: 202 pages less
