Forty-four year old, divorce Cali Reynolds is looking for
acceptance in her sexuality. After being
married for over twenty years to a man who had no interest in sex, she is ready
to explore her sexuality. She hesitantly
joins the local BDSM club The Den. She doesn’t
know what she wants, but knows that she wants to feel and be touched. After seven years of nothing, she is in
desperate need. She feels this club is
her only hope.
Club owner Jake McCallister has had a rough life. He suffered a great loss at ten years old
with the death of his parents. He uses
his role as a Dom to hide away any emotional attachment. If he doesn’t get close, then people can’t
leave him. The only friends he has are
Seth and Deklan, who co-own the club with him.
Jake only has three months left of his five year contract with the club
and wants to disappear again. He is
always running. Seth and Deklan don’t
want him to leave.
Upon the initial interview for The Den, Seth decides that
Jake needs to do a second interview with Cali.
Seth says that he sees something in Cali and wants a second opinion. Jake is hesitant at first, but agrees to the
interview. Upon meeting Cali, he has
feelings inside of him that make him want to possess and love her. He hasn’t ever felt this way about a sub
before—ever. These feelings scare him
Cali is a beautiful submissive to Jake and their trust and
bond grow.
I really loved the connection between the two
characters. I felt the despair, longing,
love, trust and completion throughout the book.
The author did a great job with her descriptions of feelings these
characters had.
The BDSM aspect was there, but it wasn’t overplayed. It felt real and genuine between these
characters. Every touch he gave her, I
felt it too. The BDSM scenes were hot
and very descriptive. This was a romance story with BDSM scenes. It did not focus on BDSM even though it was significant
to the couple coming together.
I recommend this book to those who like a good contemporary romance
with some kink; those who like to read BDSM or erotic books.
