BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Jeremiah Copeland and Daly Edwards have a history. Even though he grew up a criminal struggling to care for two younger siblings, and she’s the pampered daughter of a power-hungry senator, they formed a bond that nothing could break. Only a lack of trust ripped them apart.
Seven years later, Daly has reason to believe that Jeremiah’s brother is in trouble. She reaches out to Jeremiah the only way she knows how: at his BDSM club, The Underground. But one look ignites a heat she thought had cooled forever. As Jeremiah takes control of her body once again, Daly quickly loses control of her carefully rebuilt world. Too much has never been enough between them, and as danger swirls in the shadows, Jeremiah forces Daly to recognize what has never changed: She still loves him. His command is that she return her heart—and he will make her obey.
REVIEW:
So I have a bunch to say about this book. Some good. Most not so good. First the good. The story is engrossing. I seemed to want to read page after page. The characters were well formed and seemed to deserve to be together. The background story was interesting and while I had it figured out it did take a while. The sex was fine if you enjoy erotica. If not this is not for you. There is not much in the BDSM way of sex but there is a bunch of D/s sex where Jeremiah takes complete control. It is fine for erotica.
Now the not so good. First Jeremiah is mean and dominating but not in a good way. He just seems to be heartless I guess is the best word. While he says his whole life is Daly he rarely has a soft time with her. Yes as the book went on there were a couple of times here or there where he would love her and not, umm, you know. His calling Daly “little sub” all the time was so condescending that it drove me nuts. Everything is about him. She walked away, she broke his heart, she did this and she did that. he might be a Dom but he is no alpha.
Now, Daly is a bit of a pushover. She is the bad person by walking away when Jeremiah was doing illegal things? How did he become the victim? Ok we find out things later but most of the book is how he was a criminal. She knows the lifestyle so this isn’t a story where he introduces her to the D/s way of life so that was a bit refreshing but the love/hate relationship between the two of them is “Too Much” sometimes (see the word play there?). And I was so tired of the same things being written over and over. Ok we know she walked away and that they belong to each other, blah blah blah. The book could have been cut by 50+ pages if the same sentences hadn’t been used “Too Much” (yeah I did it again).
The not so good out numbers the good but then again if you enjoy erotica and a domineering man (not just a dominate man) then you will probably enjoy this one. As for me it was just ok. Disclaimer:
I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
