A Late Thaw Novella by Ana Blaze

\

Author: Ana Blaze
Publisher: Entranced Publishing
Imprint: Kissed
Genre: contemporary romance
Length: 102 pages (novella)
Release Date: October 28th, 2013

Blurb:
The town’s too small for Kiley St. Claire’s reappearance to be a surprise, still seeing her hits Cole Thomas like a punch to the gut. She ripped his heart apart when she turned to ice and ran away all those years ago. Now that she’s back, Cole’s going to say his piece and move on.
Even if she does look damn good in that uniform.
Kiley St. Claire is back in the small town of Barrett, Vermont, for one reason and one reason only: to earn some cash so she can survive her final semester of grad school. She’s not there for the sexy Christmas tree farmers.
Even the one who once held her heart.



Chapter One

COLE THOMAS HAD BEEN a late bloomer. One of the smallest boys in their middle school, he’d disappeared to his uncle’s ranch in Wyoming the summer before high school and had come back six inches taller, wearing a cowboy hat. Kiley St. Claire doubted the woman he was currently flirting with remembered that. It was practically ancient history.
She squinted as she tried to remember the woman’s name. Cole’s fangirl looked vaguely familiar under her over-processed blond hair and cheap but abundant makeup. She was probably one of Cole and Kiley’s former classmates. Amber maybe, or one of the Ashleys. She was pretty—whatever her name was—and she had a fantastic rack. More importantly, she wasn’t wearing a cheap Bavarian Miss costume and pigtails like Kiley was. If they were competing, the babe with the penchant for bleach and blue eye shadow would win. They weren’t, of course. Kiley was done crushing on Cole. It was obvious—had been for years—that he’d never see her as more than a friend.
She straightened the red bodice that made even her own modest chest look full, pulled the notepad from her already sticky apron, and marched over to their table. Her heels clicked along the scuffed and murky wood floor. No doubt it had originally been a beautiful walnut. Now it was covered with a layer of scum as old as she was and fit right in with the rest of the decor.
The entire bar was filled with heavy, dark wood tables and stools covered in faded maroon vinyl. Kept clean and under the right lighting it had probably once been genuinely attractive. Probably. If that had ever been the case it had stopped the day Kiley’s boss, the infamous Buddy, bought the building and started filling it with kitschy, vaguely German-themed knick-knacks and neon beer signs. Cole and the blonde were sitting near a display of Hummel knock-offs, one of which appeared to be mooning the patrons.
A table full of afternoon-drunk Frat guys signaled to Kiley. She held up a single finger in acknowledgement. They could use a couple minutes before their next round, and she had to do this, face Cole, before she lost her nerve. “Are you guys ready to order, or do you need another minute with the menus?”
“Kiley?” Cole’s dark eyes widened for a second before he started laughing. His shoulders shook, and he slapped the worn wooden tabletop. “This is…” He gestured toward her. “This…oh, you gotta give a turn.” He circled a finger in the air.
“Do you want a beer or not?” She refused to be embarrassed. Yes, she was dressed like the St. Pauli girl, but it obviously hadn’t been her idea. She didn’t even like wearing costumes on Halloween.
“I heard you were coming back for the summer, but this…damn.”
“School’s expensive, Cole, and there aren’t a lot of summer jobs in this town.” Barrett, Vermont was a pretty little town, not a thriving metropolis. If there had been other options, any other options, she wouldn’t be dressed like slutty Gretel serving beer and waffles in a Bavarian-themed restaurant owned by a man who’d never traveled farther than Montreal.
Cole looked her up and down with a big grin on his too-handsome face. Kiley pretended not to notice that his thick, brown hair was a touch longer than the last time she’d seen him, or that it curled appealingly against the collar of his blue-green plaid shirt. She tried not to check the scar on his left arm—a thin jagged line that was only really noticeable when the skin around it tanned a shade or two darker. Her heart melted a little when she saw it.
Cole had only recently turned eight the night they went searching for Kiley’s runaway dog. He got tangled in a bit of barbed wire fence hidden amongst the leaves in the woods behind her neighbor’s house. The dog came home on his own later that night, but Cole ended up needing
stitches in four places. And a tetanus shot. He made her promise not to tell anyone he’d cried, and she drew a cross over her heart and wished for untold tortures if she broke her word.
She still hadn’t.
“So why’d you come then?”
Kiley shrugged. Way to make a girl feel welcome, Cole. “It’s home.”
“Wasn’t enough to bring you home last Christmas, or the one before.”
Yup. She was a horrible daughter, and her mom let the whole town know it. Mother dearest undoubtedly left out that Kiley couldn’t afford to pay for a rental car sturdy enough to make the several-hour trip in wintry weather.
Before she had a chance to respond, the blonde sitting with Cole tilted her head to the side and frowned at her. “I remember you.” She smiled then, broadly, as though remembering anything was an accomplishment worthy of her pride.
Kiley tried to smile at the woman, but her lips were too tight. “Go Bobcats,” she said weakly.
“Yeah, you were in my gym class. Didn’t you get hit in the face with a tennis ball one time?”
Kiley had long ago accepted that, despite the lack of any reasonable scientific explanation, her face clearly attracted sporting equipment. She’d absolutely gotten hit with a tennis ball, as well as a volleyball, a softball, and a Frisbee. Once she’d even managed to get wacked in the nose with a broom while they’d attempted to play a grounded version of Quidditch. “Yup, that was me.”
The other woman nodded. “I knew it. I’ve always been good with faces.”
“Wow. Catching up is super fun, but I have a bunch of tables. So…”
“Were you even going to give me a call?” Cole looked hurt, and Kiley wished she didn’t care.
“Sure. Once I got settled and all, I—”
“Right.” He scowled. “Why don’t you bring us a couple of drafts. Whatever’s on special is fine.”
His cool tone sliced through her resolve and made her stomach churn. Why couldn’t she just move on? Being Cole’s friend, watching him date every other girl in town, hurt too much. She’d promised herself she wouldn’t fall back into his well-meaning but clueless clutches this summer. Kiley had come home to work and to save up enough money to live on for the final semester of classes she needed to earn her Master’s in Meteorology. That’s it. She already had job prospects for after graduation in January. This would be her last summer at home.
She nodded. “I’ll be right back with your drinks.”
He’d already turned back to the blonde.




Angie J's Review:

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

As a blogger, I get alot of book requests for long novels which I love BUT sometimes I love the quickie novella to sit down and read.  This book fit the description perfectly.  So I jumped o jthe chance to read it.  Plus I have to admit, I am a sucker for the whole "Loved you my whole life" kinda books.

Well This story didn't disappoint.  Ky and Cole were best friends all growing up.  They both loved the other but misread actions that the other wasn't interested "that way".  When Ky comes home after being gone 2 years, Cole is MAD!!  he will not let her get away without telling he how he feels even if he is rejected, he will know he tried.

When Cole meets Ky after work at the bar, he takes he home and kisses her like CRAZY!!  Ky is stunned because Cole doesn't like her THAT way or does he....the two end up "talking" with their bodies and making it clear how they feel.  It was sweet when Cole tells Ky she is pretty.  She goes allll girlie on him.  I have to admit, I liked the quick novella and would recommend if you just want a quick read or a spicey read...either way you will enjoy!!

My favorite part of the book is this:

Cole was determined.  Kiley was meant for him.  She was meant to be his and he was meant to her hers.  If necessary he'd prove it by making love to her until they were both hoarse from shouting.  There were worse ways.

Synopsis
 

Forgetting is hard to do.

Tori McLeod survived the sadistic wrath of a madman at the cost of the love of her life. Always a survivor, she’s determined to move on with her life, for her sake, and the sake of her son, even if she has to leave everything and everyone behind.

Two years have passed since she lost Sebastian Chelios. He was gone, but Tori can still feel the raw magnetism pulling her toward a ghost.

Relationships change and new bonds form. Budding feelings tempt Tori, but she continues to ache for Sebastian.

Whispers of danger lurk around the corner and questions regarding Jose remain unanswered.

Can Tori move on with her life when a dark shadow from her past revisits her? With Jose still being out there, will Tori and her son ever be truly safe?

Excerpt:
Two years had passed since Sebastian Chelios had died. Two years since being told that Jose Alvarez was still out there. And two years since I was told I was pregnant.

Pregnant with Sebastian’s baby.

God, who knew that that would happen?

A result of my forgetfulness of taking the pill. But it was well worth it when I looked into the eyes of my baby. Sebastian’s baby. Our child.

I tried to forget. But the calendar on the wall beckoned like a tease, and my eyes darted to the dreaded numbers. My mind went back to those horrible couple of days.

It was like a bad horror movie in my mind. Jose kidnapping me. Sebastian showing up. Us both shot. The blur of the hospital. My lover. Dead. Doctors and nurses in my face. Then news of the pregnancy. My head whirled when I got sucked into my thoughts. Real, as if it was yesterday. Realizing I would have to raise a child on my own.

But now…every day I looked at Antonio and ached. His eyes had slipped from blue to brown, and he reminded me so much of Sebastian.

His father would never see him. Never know him.

Fresh tears filled my eyes but I shook them off. I headed to the front door and made sure it was locked. I looked out the window and noticed a big black car a couple of houses away. Relief fluttered through me. The Feds were watching. Protecting me and my son from Jose.

 A scream came through the baby monitor on my counter.

I ran up the stairs in my small two bedroom house and headed right to my baby’s room. After throwing the door open, I stood there, panting, gripping my chest as my heart raced against my rib cage.

My son lay there, looking up at me from his crib, a big smile on his beautiful chubby face.

I sucked in a breath and tried to ease the thumping in my ears. “Hi, baby. You sure like giving your mama a heart attack, don’t you?”

He giggled. Yup, definitely Sebastian’s kid.


About The Author:

I'm a new self-published author who just got introduced to the writing world early 2013. My aunt suggested that I write a story because I'm an avid reader but I waved it off and left it alone. Well this year, a story came to me and I went with it. It took me a little bit but I finally got a story idea that worked and now I can't stop or control the characters/stories that keep popping up in my head.
 
I'm born and raised in Canada and I live with my very wonderful and supportive husband, Michael. We don't have any children (yet) unless you count our two cats. He's been my rock through this whole new experience for me. I couldn't have done it without him and my friends and family.

One of the many things I love about this new chapter in my life is that I'm learning constantly. It's never a dull moment and as long as one person likes my story, I am happy.

Synopsis:

DEE
I’ve always been good at wearing masks. Not letting anyone see the real me. I’m content being the happy-go-lucky best friend. The strong willed boss. The independent woman who doesn’t need a man.

To make her mine.

She can run all she wants, but it will never be far enough to stop me from coming after her.

She's it for me and she knows it.

She’s just too scared to admit it.

Brie Embraces the Heart of Submission: After Graduation Blog Tour by Red Phoenix

AG Banner

Final Brie Cover

Book Description:

On the night of graduation, Brie Bennett offered her collar to the man who’d won her devotion during her time at the Submissive Training Center.
The intimate encounters Brie enjoys with her new Master are hot and deliciously challenging. On the flipside, despite her newly acquired skills, she discovers that being a sub also requires maturity, intelligence and willing sacrifice.
Her Master has a tragic past that he has kept hidden. She is unaware that someone is waiting in the wings, plotting to return and rip his world apart. Brie has troubles of her own, including an obsessive Dom who won’t let her go, parents who refuse to accept her new lifestyle, and a film that is struggling to see the light of day.
Brie’s journey with her Master brings both sweet ecstasy and unbearable pain. Friendships deepen and love grows, even as her life begins to crumble around her. To survive, Brie will need the strength of a love that binds her securely—heart and soul.

The Collaring Ceremony:
His POV
(Day 5)

Thane returned to packing while he came to grips with the intense emotions flowing through him. Love was a dangerous word, but he could not ignore how he felt despite the fact he was shocked by it.
I love Brie.
What a frightening notion. Love left people weak and vulnerable.
He heard her whimper and knew his silence had alarmed her. Thane returned to her side and traced her trembling lower lip, sharing the truth he’d been afraid to face. “The day I took your anal virginity, I’d never felt so vulnerable yet so powerful in my life. I fell in love with you then, and have only suffered for it ever since.”
“Suffer no more…” she offered.
Her answer sounded like a promise, the simple words touching him deeper than they should.
“Are you suggesting I take you, Brie?” he said lightly, moving away to resume packing.
Thane needed distance between them to regain control. If he took her now it would be fast and furious. Too many weeks of denial had stripped him of the restraint he prided himself on. He threw items into the box without thought, focusing instead on calming his libido.
While he worked, he explained to Brie, “I always told myself that the second I stopped caring about the Training Center, I would resign. When I saw you walking away from me, I knew that moment had come. The bravery it took to defy protocol and risk everything was inspiring, babygirl.”
Her slightly open lips and the tight buds of her nipples revealed her feelings of lust. They beckoned to him and he heeded the call…
“I have avoided you for so long, it seems like a sin to partake of you now.” Thane felt like a lion as he approached, one that was preparing to pounce on its prey. “Fortunately, your Master enjoys sinful pleasures.”
He released Brie from the cuffs and removed the blindfold. Her eyes were burning with desire, her lips supple and partedbegging to be kissed. Thane picked her up, carrying her to the other side of the office to lay her down on the floor. He removed his clothes, his cock announcing his desire when it was freed.
It was with prideful amusement he noted Brie’s eyes widen in appreciation of his shaft.
Thane lay down beside her and trailed his fingers over her skin as he lured her in with his words. “All this time wanting to slip into your womanhood, but having to watch others enjoy it.”
“Why couldn’t you have taken me, Master?”
Thane traced her ruby lips with his index finger. “I knew if I ever allowed myself the luxury, I would be utterly lost.”
She smiled seductively. “You were, regardless.”
Thane didn’t care for that statement. She may be correct, but the thought was disconcerting to him. He growled, “At least I had the illusion of control.” He kissed her then, releasing all the pent up need and passion he’d carried for so long. She met every kiss, her desire just as great.
“Babygirl…” He explored her body with an insatiable hunger, grabbing, clawing, drawing her closer. He ravaged her mouth as he moved into position to take her.
“No,” he stated. He would not take her quickly. Thane looked down at Brie, determined she would know the significance of this first union. Instead, he caressed her body with his eyes.
“So breathtaking…”
With unhurried determination, he spread her legs wide open and crawled in between, warning her that he would take her excruciatingly slow. Thane gritted his teeth as he pressed the head of his cock against her warm opening.
Brie grabbed his ass, but he commanded, “Lie perfectly still. I want you to fully experience and remember the first time you were taken by your Master.”
She lay back, a look of willing surrender on her face. He worshipped her breasts with his mouth as he slowly breached her inner lips with his shaft.
Brie gasped in pleasure, and he answered with a groan of passionate frustration.
Her pussy was on fire, making it difficult not to come immediately. With the determination of an experience Dominant, he held back his orgasm. He kissed her again as his pushed further in. The constriction of her tight, wet pussy stimulated every nerve ending of his cock, from the sensitive head to the base.
It has never felt this good, and his balls ached for release. Thane kissed her neck, tasting the salt of her skin. He moved back to her lips as he made the final push into her depths. Both cried out in unison.
Thane was overcome with the connectionhis soul had found its mate. He gazed deep into her eyes, realizing he would never love another. You are the one.
She whispered to him. “May I, Master?”
He held his breath, knowing there would be no stopping his orgasm once they began. He nodded slowly, and groaned when she wrapped her arms and legs around him.
Thane took her face in his hands and kissed her with the fierceness of a condor as he made passionate love to Brie. When she cried out, it took him over the edge. Thane gave up all semblance of control and thrust fast and hard, finally giving into his lust.
Brie met his every stroke, taking him deeply as she purred, “My Sir…”
He grabbed his hips and tilted them upwards so he could claim her completely. Brie screamed out in pleasure as he fucked her—hard, deep, and without mercy.
When he felt his balls contract, signaling an impending orgasm, he ordered, “Come for your Master.”
“Yes…oh, yes!” she cried.
His body shuddered in forceful release, coating her insides with his love and possession. Her pussy began its own dance, caressing his cock with her intense orgasm. Thane bit her neck as he rode the effects of her pleasure. 
After coming deep inside his woman, Thane was filled with an overpowering sense of unity. “You are mine, Brie Bennett. I will never let you go.”
He lifted himself up off the floor and walked to his desk. He picked up a black marker and approached Brie with a gleam in his eye. With artistic precision, he wrote his claim on her chest. Brie looked down and smiled when she saw that he had written the word Mine.
He handed the pen to her and stuck out his chest, giving her permission to do the same. Brie timidly penned the word Master across his skin, smiling sweetly as she did it. He nodded his approval afterwards and grasped a fistful of her dark hair, drawing her to him and kissing her. “Never forget that.”
She shook her head. “I won’t, Sir… I can’t.”
Her answer made him want her again, and he felt his cock stir in response. He needed to get out of there. Thane had far too many plans to waste any more time in this place. He ordered Brie to dress as he hastily put on his own clothes. It was endearing the way she picked up her corset with cut laces and held it up to him, pouting.
He grinned lustfully as he thrust the corset into his box. “You won’t be needing it, babygirl. You already have on what I want you to wear.”
Her look of surprise and then pride as she looked down at his marking on her chest made his loins rush with need for her. Grabbing his belongings, Thane took a moment to glance over his office one last time. He was filled with mixed emotions.
“It’s been a good run,” he finally stated, escorted Brie out and locking the door. It was time to leave this part of his life behind.
A good run…
Thane held out his arm to his submissive. He looked down at Brie proudly, commanding, “Head held high, but at a respectful angle.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Chest out,” he added. “Exude elegance and poise, confident in the knowledge you are mine.”
Thane escorted Brie back to the commons, hungry to know his little sub better. He was up for the challenge of this new arrangementthis new life—together.

Angie J's Review:

I received alllll the novella's in the series from the author for an honest opinion.
Here are thought from each novella :

Book 1
Ok so this book is about the first couple days Brie and her new Master have together. She is still very much in the learning process especially since her Master is a very well known and respected Dom. I had a big giggle when Brie and Master were *busy* on the sofa and Master had a phone call....very funny scene with Rytsar on the other end. Man that's a guy I wouldn't getting to know a little bit better *cough cough spin off series cough cough* cuz YUMMY!!! Also as we Red readers know from the first novel, Brie and cooking= epic fail. Again poor Brie tries her hand at cooking and it is a riot....omelets and spaghetti....giggles...Now the part of the book I didn't giggle with was the Wolf!!! UGH let her go Man!! I was a little bit disappointed in Brie for not telling Master about what happened between them this book BUT Brie is such a tender hearted girl. She doesn't want anyone in pain and feel bad for following her heart and breaking his.

Book 2
Incase you are not aware, Red has mad writing skills. I always feel like I am Brie and this book was noooo different. It starts out with a visit to the Training Center with Brie rocking her old uniform with a few new touches from Sir. I loved seeing Boa again and how he had to "keep his excitement" low so his domme doesn't punish him...giggles.... I had to say my favorite part was Brie and Lea getting to hang out for a bit. The two were such amazing friends and so I missed Lea like Brie has. I was sad to see that Brie was still getting crap from Ms. Clark and the other new subs for being collared by Sir. I wanted to stick my tongue out at them FOR my girl Brie so I shall here *Raspberry*!!! (Quick look to make sure Sir didn't see....SHEW!!)
Ok I know you wanna know...The Wolf/Mr. Todd Wallace. Yup he shows up and yup he makes a complet and total ass of himself while getting Brie in trouble....growl. I did feel bad for him with what he reveals to her BUT at the same time I yelled "Dude get a grip and move on already!!"

The last chapter of the novella totally squeezed my heart. Oh Thane....errrrr....Sir. He knows exactly what to say to make me melt. This chapter was a great peek into his soul. He is a good man and loves Brie BUT he can see a little bit closed off. This part of the book I finally understood him a lot more and it made me love him all the more. Oh I am sooo getting teary eyed remembering THE part of the chapter that got to me.....*sigh*


Book 3:
I was way excited to read this book because I find Rytsar mega hot and knowing Brie was going to be in Russian with him and Sir...SOLD!!! I will say I was a bit shocked to find out he was a sadist. I didn't imagine him that way and TBH he kinda made me nervous then...sooo not a pain girl.

I loved getting to know Sir in a more personal way. I loved finding out the back story on how he and Sir met. It was a hilarious scene when they were playing chess and Rytsar cheated....LOL I have to admit the last chapter was my favorite with Brie, Sir and Rytsar. I will not even begin to tell you because you DEFO need to read it to appreciate it....giggles.

I was sad to see the way Brie's parents feel about Brie and Sir. I understand any parent would be concerned but I felt they were way over the top in how they reacted to the couple. I was also a bit sad for Ms. Clark...yes I was sad for her.....the back story made me feel for her.....unrequited love sucks. Wanna know who she loves??? READ THE BOOK!!!!!

Book 4:
 WHERE TO BEGIN!!! AS usual Mistress Red had me in knots at the end of the last installment of Brie. When this book begins and my heart is in my chest. I was excited to find out why Brie and Master had to end their trip so early in Russia. I mean to leave Rytsar it HAD to be important.....Good Golly that man is some scary hotness!!!

I was so excited to see Lea again. I have missed her friendship and love how we cant always count on her for a good couple of jokes...even if they are just so bad they are funny. *breath in and out* Mary....Brie has to talk to Mary. Wow what an exchange that was. I will say that I felt a little different towards her AFTER everything was discussed in regards to the Wolf and the graduation ceremony.

Tono....*Sniff* My heart breaks because I so loved him and was sad Brie didn't want to be his little subbie BUT Sir just had Brie and my heart. I was happy to see the two re-connect and maybe even build a friendship outside of the training center (insert Wicked Evil Laughter because if you haven't read this book you have no clue the cliffhanger. )

Sir......I fell so much more in love with him. He has such demons and is so scared for what he feels for Brie. He sends her mixed signals and her naive self takes it all the wrong way but that is what we love about Brie...her tender heart and soul right??!!! Sir has some major issues he needs to work through due to his mom and dad's relationships.

AND LASTLY...the documentary plays a big part of this book. I am glad to see Brie chasing her dream. I am happy that Sir is also forcing her to work versus following him all over the world while he does business.

Book 5:

I must start this review by saying BRAVO ENDING!!!! My heart is racing and I immediately messaged the author to say I was STOMPING my Foot!!! She is such a master at teasing us *giggles* in alot of ways this novel.

If you are up to date with the series, SWEET!! If not please start with the Brie at the Training Center. These books take place after she is through submissive school and is in a happy and stable relationship with her Master.

So this nook is another great installment to Brie. She and Tono have to face their feelings about one another. I must say I enjoyed seeing him be a little 'rougher" with Brie. During the Graduation ceremony he didn't seem to have the "harder" side so that was pretty exciting.....annnd let me say the scene was pretty HAWT!!!

Todd, Todd, Todd.......I really just feel for the guy but DUDE LET HER GOOOOOOOOO...enough about him.

Ms, Clarke has really really really peaked me. She hates Brie BUT......I wanna know what is up. I wanna know why she is so draw to Brie but hates Brie. I mean we learned some thing about her and Rytsar but what else makes drives her???????

Grey and Lea's Flogging Scene......I loved how Brie is so expressive and Grey can pick up on it. he is such a great man...and Lea...who doesn't love her!!!

Sir *Dreamy Sigh* he was very missed in this novel but the gifts and poem defo brought a tear to my eye. I will say the cliffhanger at the end is in regards to Sir and I am guessing his past.....????? Man, it was an epic ending and i am going to be driving Red CRAZY until book 6 is out!! LOL


Book 6:
This book really covers ALOT of ground. It was so action packed I was mad that I finished it so quick!! Here goes a recap.....Brie and Todd/The Wolf finally had a "meeting". I really feel BAD for Todd. He is like crazy, stalkery in love with Brie and is convinced she is in love with him. The meeting mad me teary for him, because he cant let her go. It also made me teary for Brie because she is sooo warm hearted. She didn't want to hurt him but hurting him is the only way to get him to move on.......... AND of course Sir was there to tell Brie she is so amazing and that is why he loves her *Dreamy Sigh*
Master's surprise returning visitor....OMG the cliffhanger last book was epic. I kinda figured it was his mom but WOW the emotion she evokes in Thane is intense. The way he opened up to Brie and allowed her to care for him instead of closing up was HUGE this book. Last book he shut down on her several times but their relationship is going in such a great direction he accepted her care....sigh if I could only get some of that "care" like they had up against the tree.....Quivering lady parts for sure ;)
Master's ending surprise for Brie....ok so I see the title of the next book so i know WHERE they are going BUT the trip back to Brie's family is gonna be pretty interesting.
Master's OTHER surprise.....OMG Master and *gulp* THAT will be very very interesting. I cannot wait to see his develop this new skill from the training of Master Anderson. Can I also say how friggin much I love him too!!!!


Book 7:

So this book has a lot of fun, sex and revelations like every book in the series. Brie and Sir go and face her paretns who are none to thrilled with the lifestyle Brie is in and hate Sir even more then before. So sad really that they are so closed off to what she is telling them about her and Sir. BUT maybe not all hope is lost with her parents at the end of the chapter?????

Sir and Brie have a lot of naughty, but quiet, fun on the airplane....hot very very hot!!! They were flying to see Sir's family in Italy. Brie is overwhelmed with the emotion she sees in Sir and his family at his return...18 years is a loooong absence. Brie is defo challenged by Sir's long lost childhood sweetheart for Sir's affections....growl. I will say I had some serious tears at the cafe scene. Red, you are an awesome writer because my heart was breaking at what Brie said to Sir about Condor love.....sigh. Sir does make everything right when he and Brie played "capture the princess" .....I wanna play that game with Sir as well......

Book 8:

 So this book really did a GREAT JOB tying up the loose sends.  We get a great resolution from Sir's mother and her drama.  I was really sad for Brie because she had to learn a very important lesson during the trial and tribulation with is mother.   But Sir is always the wonderful gentleman and helps rescue Brie when she needs it which causes him to have alittle bit of fame as well.......

Brie got a once in a life time opportunity to switch with Sir.  The scene was funny and hot at the same time.  I am still in complete wonderment at how I , like Brie, never realized the control a Dom must have with his submissive.  Red made sure to let the reader know that it takes ALOT of forthought and consideration when planning a scene.

Lea and Tono's birthday gift to Brie....Sweet Baby Jesus in the Manger!!  I cannot spoil this scene people i just can't even begin to go in to it.  you need to read it for yourself....it is that amazing!!!!  I have never cheered on a scene as much as I did this one.

Mary and The Wolf.....very interesting story.  I liked seeing Todd and Brie being friendly again especially in protection of Mary.  I liked how the book ends with these two.

The ending chapters made my heart bust wide open.  I had a few crocodile tears at the ending but they were the best kind of tears...happy ones!!!!!  

Any way, If you read this series you will love the ending for sure 1 million percent
