Blurb:
He'll be the dream and the dirty fantasy...
Through with both her controlling ex and relationships, Ava Webber is determined to explore the spicy and sometimes forbidden appetites of the exclusive BDSM nightclub, Serve. Here, she'll get exactly what she needs...as long as it's from a man she doesn't know.
Nolan Hart ensures that Serve's clients get what they want, how they want it. But with one look at the curvy brunette, Nolan knows he’s the man to fulfill her desires. As the anonymous lover, he's Ava’s dirtiest fantasy. Outside of Serve, he's her charming, smartass friend.
But Nolan wants more. More than Ava is willing to give. And as long as the blindfold stays on, she'll never discover that the two men she's falling for
are one and the same...

“I want to be consumed. In any way he wants to
take me. Because the minute I step out of the scene, it’s over and back to the
real world.”
It suddenly hurt to breathe. That sounded right
up his alley. She wanted to get lost, taken over, but not in the real world.
There wasn’t a man alive besides himself he’d trust not to abuse that
privilege.
Then an idea struck him:
Why not me?
She wanted what he’d happily give her. In this
short time, he’d already gotten a good sense for her. He could read her body,
expressions, and cues.
He could take things in whatever direction the
moment led. It was a dangerous notion, but he didn’t trust anyone else to have
her. He’d make sure she got what she wanted without someone going too far or
hurting her.
And she was offering everything. With the only
catch of not seeing the man she was with. That was her one hard limit, and he
could give that to her. Because if there was one thing he understood, it was
hard limits.
He’d spent years wrapped up in women, moving
from each one to the next in a quest to feel…anything. And every time,
he found the threat of the future—unpredictable, unknowable—too powerful to
ignore. How could he protect anyone longer than one scene at a time?
So he’d resigned himself to doing just that. No
relationships. No chance for love. But at least he could guarantee each woman’s
safety by assuring she was paired with the perfect partner.
But to have someone put themselves in his
hands—literally. To trust their fate to him for more than a single scene. It sounded
better than good and was the one thing he’d yearned for but seen no way to
experience. Anyone who wanted him for more than one scene wanted him for a
relationship, and he couldn’t have that.
He hadn’t found “the one,” and he never would.
His friends were being taken down one by one with emotional monogamy, but it
wasn’t in the cards for him.
This woman, though? There was a tiny gleam of
something broken behind her eyes. Something she was outrunning. He could
relate. She called to him in a way he couldn’t ignore. She wanted a tightly
controlled scene, and because the fantasy would never escape into the real
world, he could fulfill her desires and know that as long as she was with him,
he would keep her safe.
“You’d let him have you. However he wanted. So
long as his identity remained secret?” He had to clarify this just one more
time to be sure she knew what she was asking for. Because he couldn’t turn her
away, but he couldn’t turn her over to another, either.
“Yes,” she said. “I’ll leave it to him, and to
you, to read me.” Her green eyes met his. “I trust you to pair me with the man
I need.”
He nodded. Ava Webber had just sealed her own
fate, and maybe even his own.
“Tomorrow night,” he said.
“You’ll have the man you want.”
My Thoughts:
Ava Webber is a little antsy with anticipation. She’s about to step into the unknown. Nolan has an interesting applicant in front
of him. He’s a man who’s full of
surprises. He’s a man who knows what he wants
and she’s looking to explore. The author
shows that lines get crossed and it’s up to the reader to decide if it works or
not.
This is one sexy ride from beginning to end and it does cover the
BDSM scene. I found that there were a
couple of themes in this story. One is
trust – you have to trust yourself, trust your partner and you also need to
trust in the love you have for each other.
Hope was another – hope that you’ll find what you’re looking for and
that there’s someone there to fulfill those wishes. And the biggest hope of all? That’s the hope for a happy ending.
I hope you’ve had a chance to follow this series. If you have, you’ll find that this is a great
addition. If you’ve not, I hope you’ll
go back and get yourself caught up. And
you may discover some authors you’ve not read before. But you don’t need to read the other books in
order to enjoy this one. It works fine
as a stand-alone. And don’t forget to
check out what other books this author has to offer.
