Vanessa, a rep for athletes and co-owner of the Den, has successfully compartmentalized her life. A different colored phone for family, work, and the Den. And things and people from one part never cross into another. Never ever. Until Holden walks into the Den one evening. Holden is a pro-hockey player who longs to submit, but his career would be ruined if anyone ever found out. He applies for membership at the very exclusive and very private The Den. When Vanessa walks in to conduct the interview, Holden knows that she’s the one.
I went into this one not really expecting to enjoy it. A Domme is not my favorite type of heroine to read. But I had read and enjoyed each of the Wicked Play books so I thought I’d give it a try. And I’m so glad that I did. The vulnerability that Vanessa was able to show Holden almost brought me to tears and the strength that Holden was able to provide Vanessa. Yet they still maintained their Domme/sub identities. *insert happy, contented sighs here* This was so much more than a Domme/sub relationship. It was beautiful, emotional, and caring, with a side of delicious kink. Everything that I’ve come to expect from Lynda Aicher.
I’d highly recommend Lynda Aicher’s Wicked Play series to any fans of Cherise Sinclair or Kallypso Masters.
