Book: Secrets (BDSM Connections Book 1)
Author: Claire Thompson
Synopsis:
Secrets protect…but they also destroy. Allie Swift has a secret—one that has kept her from finding a Dom willing to take her where she longs to go, far beyond the slap-and-tickle approach of BDSM-lite, into the deep reaches of true sadomasochism. When she meets Liam on a BDSM personals site, she senses he’s different from the Doms she has been with before. His darkly compelling nature speaks directly to her submissive heart. Liam Byrne had it all—a great career, a hot body, and a submissive fiancée. That is, until a year ago when a head-on collision with a drunk driver shattered not only his leg, but also his life. Now Liam harbors an ominous secret, one that’s tearing him apart and causing him to hold the world, including Allie Swift, at arm’s length. As the intensity of their D/s exploration increases, Liam and Allie must confront their fears. Together they must decide if the bond they share is strong enough to survive bringing their secrets to light. Secrets is the first novel in Claire Thompson’s new edgy BDSM romance series: BDSM Connections. Prepare for a powerful, emotional experience.
My Rating: ★★★★★
My Thoughts:
Intense, Steamy, and Naughty Romance!
Wow! What an intense and steamy naughty story. This story is tense and raw and takes you into a whole other world that you will want to know more about. This is a story that is extreme and heavy on the sadist and masochist side of BDSM. This book is not for the faint of heart. Nor is it for someone that likes the light end of the BDSM spectrum.
The characters are written to be real and with their good qualities and having flaws – just like a normal person would. This makes the characters relatable and easy to feel that you are a part of their world. The book is written heavy with the sex scenes in which you experience the BDSM world and the different environment that surrounds it. Although it is heavy with BDSM, there is still a story with romance and a couple that is looking for their happy ending.
The scenes are intense, hot and sexy just enough to get your heart racing and wanting more. You will be on your toes wondering what they are going to do next. There were scenes and lessons learned throughout that I have not read in any other book. This made the book enjoyable as I didn’t feel that I was reading a scene that I have read a million times in other books. The story is based on trust of your partner and being honest in everything from how you feel in the moment and revealing the deep dark secrets that most people keep hidden.
This was my first book to read from this author and I was not disappointed at all. I look forward to reading more by this author. I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a good romance with a whole lot of kinky naughty play mixed in.
