fight against feelings

It seems I am completely hooked on this series, I loved the story of a shy but feisty Emily and Rider who is very dominant and fighting against this strange attraction he feels for this pixie of a woman. I can go on and on blabbing how I love it all, but in other words: I adored this book. Maybe it’s because I once was a school librarian, just like Emily and I so could relate to everything happening to her.

Emily Townsend’s sister died so suddenly that she needs closure. She is willing to do anything to get it, including visit a local BDSM club (and hey, she has read about it so it’s not that strange). What she doesn’t expect is for the sexy man she’s been ogling for three weeks to waltz over to her table and dominate her in a way she’s never experienced.

Rider Henderson doesn’t do newbies. Or girlfriends. But the cute pixy hanging around his club has drawn him to her side like a magnet. Perhaps if he took her on as a trainee, he could purge her from his system.

The steam between Emily and Rider is undeniable. Not only is she a natural submissive, but she also enjoys watching him fight. That doesn’t change the fact Rider doesn’t want a permanent woman hanging around, nor does Emily have any interest in sharing Rider with her family or co-workers. Emily talks herself into believing it’s just a summer fling, nothing serious. Rider still thinks he can walk away after the weeks with Emily…
