Review
Femdom novels are a bit hit and miss for me, but I absolutely loved this one. Both of the main characters are likeable and are easy to connect with, and the storyline was interesting. I was very impressed with the author's style of writing, it's easy to read and the story flowed well. This is the first book I've read by Sheryl Nantus but it won't be the last, I'll be looking out for future books in this series.
Kate was hurt by her last submissive, so for the last year she's been working as a professional Domme so that she can use her skills without getting emotionally involved. Alex is a video game developer who hires Kate through Hooded Pleasures, so that he can find out if he really is a submissive without risking attending a club. Throughout their sessions they grow closer and emotions become involved, but Kate insists on keeping things strictly business and won't bend the rules. Can Alex convince Kate that he's the man for her?
Kate was an intriguing character - strong in many ways, but also strangely vulnerable and afraid of getting hurt again. Alex was a total sweetheart, I loved him to bits. He really cared for Kate and I admired his determination in trying to win Kate's heart. I enjoyed this book a lot, so it definitely gets five stars.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.
