Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book for review from Once Upon An Alpha and the author. I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.

They say first impressions mean everything. Either Maximus “Max” Gunn didn’t get the memo or he didn’t care. The gorgeous, muscle-bound Dominant’s assumption that I, Mistress Sammie, was a submissive set my blood boiling. I wanted to drive the toe of my coveted Louis Vuitton stilettos between his legs—and bring him to his knees.
But anger wasn’t the only burning emotion Max ignited inside me. The potent sexual attraction we share threatened to burn me alive, too. Unwilling to cede our Dominance, the battle for control raged like a third world war, both in and out of the dungeon. It would take a coup d'état for love to conquer our drive to command.
But when Max learns the secrets of my past, and attempts to heal my scars, I don’t know if I’ll be able to still the battle…or fall willingly to my knees.
Samantha “Sammie” Radcliffe has the pleasure of meeting Maximus
“Max” Gunn. This will read as a
standalone but there are so many secondary characters that make appearances
that they pique your interest in going back and reading their story. They all seem to care about each other and
you’ll find yourself wanting to know more.
Sammie appears to be a very confident woman on the outside but Max
pushes a lot of her buttons. While he
pushes she pushes back which makes her feel a little insecure in what he makes
her feel. It’s a story where she must
question her life and what she wants.
It’s like she’s telling us her story and in that she discloses something
so personal that you can’t help but be affected.
I know Max is a Dom but it seemed at times that he was pushing at
Sam a little too much. She seemed so
fragile at times and he just kept pushing and pushing. He may have seemed as if he was helping her
but at times I felt like yelling at him to back off a little. Emotions seemed to run a little high at
times. There were certainly plenty of
ups and downs and I was there for the ride.
That ride continues right to the very end. And it includes seeing what makes Sam happy.
