Yet the illusion he so effortlessly created for her is shattered when she discovers he’s a sadist, known for his cold-hearted brutality.

Master Luke is a fantasy, dominant and sexy, charismatic and passionate.

Refusing to give up his last chance at finding happiness, Luke bides his time: waiting, plotting.įilled with trepidation and excitement, PJ returns to Bond Street, only to find herself at the mercy of a stranger. The only problem is, she’s on her knees submitting to another man. But on the night he decides to walk away from everything, he sees her, in the club-the one woman that could change everything. For the past fourteen years, all he has known is sadism and control. Luke Monroe is tired of playing a role that has left him emotionally void and completely alone. But it’s the other man, watching from the shadows, who will ultimately claim her heart. It’s there she finds her dream home on the banks of the Thames, and also her dream man-in a bondage club. With millions in her bank account, PJ abandons her old life to start a new one in London. That was until an unexpected lottery win changed everything. Between her cheating fiancé and her narcissistic boss, she could see no way out. Polly Jayne Lester’s life was falling apart. Based on the blurb for book two, it sounds like they will have lots of page time and I look forward to getting to know them better and continue PJ and Luke's story. I'm also very much in love with Elliot and Mika. India was such a fun larger than life character with lots of opinions (that she rarely kept to herself). PJ and Luke were imperfect with issues they needed to work through and I was quickly invested in them. Watching them work through these differences made for very interesting reading! The BDSM scenes were written well and decidedly hot. What I especially liked was the fact that PJ was not/did not consider herself a Masochist and Luke was decidedly a Sadist.

It deals with heavy BDSM, in particular Sadism, so if you can't stomach rougher sex with doses of pain this is probably not the book for you. This is the first book written by Lily Freeman and it is the start of a new series (this does end on a cliffhanger and the second book is due out in the fall).
