Marc is another ex-soldier and a third owner in a kink club. He was Master Marco when he was younger and enjoys the BDSM lifestyle. One night at the club when he was monitoring the dungeon he sees a woman being abused by her wanna-be Dom boyfriend. He rescues her and makes sure she gets home without further harm.

Angelina is the woman who was abused at the club. She was in what’s called sub-space which I considered to be almost separated mind and body to deal with what was happening to her. She was so out of it she thought Marc was a wolf shifter because of his mask and the books she likes to read. She hated what was done to her but soon realizes that she enjoys submitting to a certain extent.

This was the second story in this series and honestly I never really liked Marc. I did however like Angelina and enjoyed her journey in BDSM. I really wish that Marc would’ve been honest about who he was and what he really wanted to have with her. I am enjoying this series but I wasn’t crazy about this book. I will read on though because this series is about more than BDSM sex, it packs some heavy emotion. Thanks again Kate and Mindy for suggesting it!

Kyran Reese is a man that has to have control at all times. He runs his family’s company basically by himself. When he feels his control slip from time to time, he goes to fight in an underground boxing arena. And with the family he has, he feels the need to fight a lot.

Dale Porter has become Kyran’s brother’s assistant at the office and from the moment he sees her, his control is tested. Dale feels the attraction between the two of them but is confused by Kyran’s running hot and cold. She also wonders what to do with Taylor, her boss. His self-destruction is becoming more and more evident.

Kyran and Dale start a non-labeled, just sex relationship. The only problem is that the more they have sex, the more important it becomes to them both. I really liked it except for a few things. I thought for a woman who never has non-committed sex, Dale was certainly all over Kyran within a few days of meeting him. Also, the writing was abrupt. Not like the book was ending abrupt but situations were introduced and solved very quickly. That coupled with the inconsistencies made the book worse not better for me. The dialogue was sexy and the love scenes were hot. I would read another book by her but I’d be more cautious than excited.

Gabriel Emerson is a college professor whose specialty is Dante, from Dante’s Inferno fame. He teaches a class based on Dante. He was adopted by a wonderful family that loved him and treated him very well. He has temper issues, former drug abuse issues and man-whoring issues. Not to mention he’s kind of a douche.

Enter Julia Mitchell, college student trying to specialize in all things Dante. She has a past with Gabriel, which he doesn’t remember. She has loved him for years upon years. Her past is troubled also. Her mother was negligent with her raising of Julia, her father was emotionally unavailable for her and she had an ex-boyfriend who was emotionally and physically abusive to her. So her self image definitely needed work.

This book started out so good. Julia was a meek, sweet character you rooted for. Gabriel was an ass in the beginning to her and everyone else. About three fourths of the way through the book I wanted to stop but figured I’d went this far, so I had to finish. This book was WAY too wordy! The relationship built nicely but fizzled epically at the one, yes one sex scene. It wasn’t even descriptive, I mean at all. My biggest complaint though was that the two main characters were both so very weak and whiny that I wanted to slap them both. I won’t go on to the next book.
