She wants the escape. He wants control. They both need love.
Jennifer Croft is at the peak of her career. As a bondage model at Altered Ego, she’s become the crème de la crème of the fetish world, ensuring herself a top spot in her profession. The world is her oyster. Her personal life on the other hand… It’s not pretty. Only her fascination with pain play keeps the ghosts of her past at bay.
After tragedy sends Daegan McKenna to the South for a much needed change of pace, the last thing he expects to find is a closet submissive hiding in plain sight. She’s hot-tempered and in denial — a heady combination that brings out the dominant looking for a challenge. He’s already loved and lost more than one man should, but the haunted look in her eyes prompts him to make her an offer. He’ll indulge her darkest fantasies, if she’ll agree to give up control. Then he’ll let her go.
Unfortunately, the past never stays in the past and old insecurities cause complications neither of them wanted. Now temporary is not enough.
My thoughts:
Jennifer appears to be a very strong person on the outside but deep down she is scared and unsure of herself.   Jennifer has never learned how to rely on anyone but herself for most of her life.  When Daegan shows up at Altered Ego everything that Jennifer knows and feels about trusting someone will be tested.  But is she strong enough to handle the changes?
Daegan is trying to run from his past.  But when he sets his eyes on the beautiful bondage model at Altered Ego he knows he can no longer run from how he feels or the things that he wants out of life. And now he wants Jennifer.  But will Daegan be able to tame the wild, hot tempered temptress without losing himself in the process?
This was a great story of finding out who you are and what you need.  Even if it is the last thing you ever thought you needed, is what you need the most.  This is a great love story between Jennifer & Daegan with a hint on BDSM.  There is not a lot BDSM which is great, because it doesn’t take over the story.  I really enjoyed the struggle that Jennifer & Daegan go through to understand each other.  Both have secrets that they are afraid to share.  But in the end if you don’t have trust you don’t have anything. 
If you are looking for a great BDSM story, I would recommend you check out Power Play. 
I want to say a huge THANK YOU to Christine & Eliza for allowing me to read and review this book.  I look forward to reading more of Eliza’s stories.
