Christian is well on the way to overcoming his trauma from the time he spent in the Middle East.  Logan is looking forward to spending some time with his extended family in New York, but dreading missing Christian while he’s gone.  Throughout it all, they are exploring the possibility of a domestic discipline relationship.

I love the relationship that’s developing between Christian and Logan.  There is so much character growth that happens in the pages of this book.  In the midst of all this self-growth, they both manage to be there when the other needs them.  A wonderful relationship to read and a relationship that has hung around in my mind for a while after finishing it.

As much as I loved Christian and Logan, Logan’s parents continued to bother me.  They are so open with both Christian and Logan-overly open.  I understand that when considering a unique relationship like domestic discipline it may be nice to have a mentor.  I’m just not sure that I can get past the fact that Logan’s parents are the mentors that Logan and Christian choose.  I’m all for a strong relationship between parents and children but some of their conversations made me a bit uncomfortable.  They seemed like conversations that should have happened between best buddies rather than parents and their children (even if they are grown).  But that’s probably all my own hang up.  Maybe it won’t bother others.

Despite all that, I can’t wait to hear what happens next for Logan and Christian.  I’m looking forward to seeing them explore more of the domestic discipline relationship that they’ve only talked about up until now.  Come on, Thianna D,  I need the next installment soon!

Addison has had a horrific upbringing. Truly horrific. She was raised by her junkie prostitute mother. She used drugs to escape her what is described as brutal rapes. After her mother’s death, she searches out her father that she hadn’t seen since her very young childhood. She knows basically nothing about him other than he’s the President of a biker club, his name and that he never wanted her. But she has no place to go since she’s on the run from her past.

Cade is the VP of her father’s club and sexy as sin. He takes one look at Addison and decides he wants her. And he’s not subtle about it either. He is sure she’s on the run from something but not sure what exactly it is. He also loves her filthy sassy mouth. The road for these two isn’t easy since they both have their demons. Not only their pasts but her dad is against them, since he wants a different life for Addison.

I’ve read other reviews about this book but I liked it. I liked it as well as I liked Motorcycle Man or Reaper’s Property. Hot alpha males on motorcycles? Yes, please. I admit that there is some fascination for bikers for me. Probably, because of Sons of Anarchy, but the television is my only source of info about MC’s, so if the descriptions in this book aren’t accurate I’m okay with it. I thought the book was good and fast moving. Dirty sex scenes that were scrumptious. I’m all in on this series and can’t wait to read the next one!

This is the conclusion to David and Sophie Preston’s story.

Sophie is heartbroken over her separation from David, even though she is the one who asked for the separation. His failure to tell her that he loved her was bad enough but to say it was always just sex between them was pouring salt in the wound. Sophie just wanders through her life. She works, goes home and goes to bed. She goes and gets coffee everyday before work. She’s sees the boy who lived next door to her when she was growing up. David said that this boy, Eddie, was in love with Sophie. Sophie never even considered Eddie as anything more than a friend.

Sophie caves and calls David. They have an awkward conversation and she hangs up. David later shows up at her work and takes her to dinner. They have a hot night of sex but nothing really changes. She still loves him and he most say if he loves her. She agrees to a drink with Eddie as just friends and this doesn’t end well because David is waiting outside her apartment.

This book was just okay for me. I got really sick of David being a pussy about his childhood. I get that he had a bad childhood but as a grown man, he has to be accountable for his actions. He finally admitted that he loved her but by that time I had a bad taste in my mouth because of him.
