review 1: I have really enjoyed reading this series.It certainly gets you thinking about the mind set of living in the reality world of BDSM.Damien has been ever present throughout the Mastered Series, and it has been refreshing to see such a proud dominant male, master of the world he created with the Den.We first met him when he presided over the wedding of one of his Doms, we really get to know the characters, go through their journey as they work their way through their emotions.I love his relationship with Gregorio, they both get on well, and have the interests of the Sub's and Dom's who play at the Den.Damian sets his sights on Catrina, who herself is a Domme, and has been a member of the club for a couple of years, and is hiding her past, trying to show a tough exterior to al... morel! but Damian sees she is hiding something and is hellbent of cracking through her shell! I loved how they both interacted with each other, how she was determined not to let her emotions get the better of her! Unfortunately she was not expecting Damian to get through her tough exterior.He uses the guise of teaching her to be a better Domme, when he was hoping to get to know her far better than he already did, I loved how he knew much about her, and her admitting to herself that he was very perceptive! Both go into their 2 week negotiation with determination that they are both going to succeed and get what they each want out of the deal! only Catrina gets more much more than she bargained for, she was not expecting to have any feelings for anyone, especially Damian, but he works his magic and slowly gets under her skin.I really loved the ending, not expecting her to succumb to her desires they both truly deserved to be happy! Cant help wonder if there are more stories to come in this fab series!
review 2: Catrina is a Domme. She's a long-time, respected member of her local BDSM club, the Den, she has plenty of play partners, and though she may occasionally have some twinges about the lack of emotional connection in life, by and large she seems pretty content with her lot. Damien is a Dom, in fact the Dom, the owner of the Den. In the early scenes narrated from his POV, he mentions that the Den doesn't have a lot of Dommes but that he has totes respect for those there are, and he'd never, ever, ever try to undermine their authority by treating them like subs ... but he has horny pants for Cat and he's The Dom, so... yeah. He asks her to sub for him. She tells him to fuck off. He asks her pretty, pretty please (and says it'll make her a better domme when the experiment is over). She says fuck off (but starts to think, well, maybe....). He gets all masterful and sexy and shit, and her resolve weakens (because she's a girl, right, and all girls secretly want to be dominated, of course), and so she agrees to be his sub for two weeks. Then, though she starts the two week experiment totally planning to go back to being the dominant when it's over, they predictably start to fall in lurve, and she starts to wake up to the glory of submission while Damien doesn't compromise at all (sometimes he thinks about how dickish he's being and how he really ought to be more decent, but then, somehow, he's all, nah), until by the end of the book she's not interested in dominating men anymore and he's the Best. Dom. Ever. Fuck that shit. less
