Blurb 

A man who gave up on love

Mitch Bradford is an intimidating man. In his professional life, he has a reputation for demolishing his opponents in the courtroom. At the exclusive BDSM club Sanctum, he prefers disciplining pretty submissives with no strings attached. In his line of work, there’s no time for a healthy relationship. After a few failed attempts, he knows he’s not good for any woman—especially not his best friend’s sister.

A woman who always gets what she wants

Laurel Daley knows what she wants, and her sights are set on Mitch. He’s smart and sexy, and it doesn’t matter that he’s a few years older and has a couple of bitter ex-wives. Watching him in action at work and at play, she knows he just needs a little polish to make some woman the perfect lover. She intends to be that woman, but first she has to show him how good it could be.

A killer lurking in the shadows

When an unexpected turn of events throws the two together, Mitch and Laurel are confronted with the perfect opportunity to explore their mutual desire. Night after night of being close breaks down Mitch’s defenses. The more he sees of Laurel, the more he knows he wants her. Unfortunately, someone else has their eyes on Laurel and they have murder in mind.


Review 

Adored is a Masters and Mercenaries novella and it stars two members of Sanctum, Ian Taggart's exclusive BDSM club. We met both Mitch and Laurel in Will and Bridget's story - Laurel is one of Will's younger sisters, and Mitch is his best friend.  Laurel has been chasing her boss Mitch for ages now, and has even been secretly training as a submissive so she can be what he needs. Mitch believes he's too old and not good enough for her, but when Laurel's life is in danger and changes forever, he will do anything he can to protect her and make her happy.

I must admit to having a soft spot for slightly grumpy and surly Doms, so I absolutely loved Mitch. He's been married twice, and both exes have taken him for everything he had, so he's understandably reluctant to commit again. Laurel is young, fun, kind and a hard worker - she's someone who I can imagine being friends with in real life. Mitch and Laurel are great together and I really liked them both, so I wanted their relationship to succeed. They have a lot of obstacles to overcome though - including evading a dangerous madman who is determined to kill them!

As with the other books in this amazing series, I was totally hooked from the first page. Lexi Blake knows exactly how to grab a reader's attention and draw them into the story, she's a genius! I loved this book, I couldn't find anything negative about it. Five stars!


I purchased this book from Amazon.co.uk
