Management Skills by – January Rowe

Allie was working her way through college as a dancer known as Silver at The Vault. Grant was the Stage Designer who she made an impact on.

This story is a novella and begins when Allie joins the company which Grant owns and they remember each other.

Grant wants Allie, Allie is reluctant after a failed relationship with a previous Dom who wasn’t much of a Dom and wants to take their relationship slow. Grant wants all or nothing from day one and on his term. Allie doesn’t come across as a sub and I think she struggles with it especially when Grant lays down the rules.

If you do not like a story with BDSM in it then this book is not for you. This was the first BDSM book I’ve read and I thought the intricacies of the Dom/Sub relationship were interesting and well written and although BDSM is not my thing I enjoyed this book so much so I went back and bought January’s first book.

This book is not for the faint hearted and should definitely not be read on public transport ie the 6.30am train to London J as I found myself blushing thinking “oh my god”,

Warning contains BDSM, office sex, and sex with wax.

Review of Courting Disaster by Carol Stephenson

 

Description

A year ago, criminal defence attorney Carling Dent woke up in a conference room with a bullet wound, a murdered client and no memory of what happened. Since then, she's grown reckless. She's gained a reputation for representing defendants no one else will, and her own partners are beginning to question her conduct.

Then a car accident triggers flashbacks, and Carling is driven by the need to find out what really happened that day. Her investigation begins to uncover a twisted web of secrets someone doesn't want exposed. The threats against Carling escalate, and she turns to the one person she wants to trust—her former lover, prosecutor Jared Manning. The passion between them is as hot as ever, but when more memories start trickling back, Carling starts to wonder just whose side the man she loves is on…

I loved this story it was well balanced between the action/mystery/romance. I loved Carling she was a feisty take no prisoners go getter and hell bent on finding out who was after her and was going to do anything to get to the bottom of it much to the dismay of her business partners and the hottie Jared.

Jared of course wanted her to be a good girl and do as she was told “yep it didn’t happen”. I couldn’t put this book down and read it in one go.

If you like a story that is fast moving, with a great legal mystery and romance thrown in then, this is for you.
