Description from the publisher:

“Everyone has a story my pages are just a lot darker than most.”

Aiden Chesterfield needs control like he needs to breathe. It pushes back the dark past he tries to pretend doesn’t exist. Just as badly as he needs the structure that domination provides, he needs Camaron to be the one to submit to him. Though, when Aiden realizes how unworthy she feels of his love; he sends her away. Her insecurities anger him, but break him at the same time. Forcing him to come to the realization that her emotions are one thing he cannot control.

Camaron Allen left everything to start her life over in Vegas with hopes of finding family. After losing the man she loves because of her insecurities she’s determined to become stronger. When a phone call from her best friend has her taking on a new career, she is forced to face more than herself. Shaft is hitting the big time and everyone wants a piece of the rockers’ pie; and some are willing to do anything to get it. Will Cam and Aiden be able to move beyond their fears and face the possibility of a future, together? Or will they forever fight their demons alone?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the second book in the Shaft on Tour series. They do need to be read in order.

We return to the tour with Shaft and all of our friends, plus visiting Las Vegas as Camaron rebuilds her life after leaving Aiden. The problems caused by Landon and Tad have not completely gone away either and will need to be dealt with in order for the band to seize their brass ring.

This was another could-not-put-it-down adventure on tour with Shaft. After Aiden tells Camaron to leave, they both fall apart. Each knows that they need the other one, and each believes they have lost the other. Thank God for manipulative friends.

I love life-style friendly fiction and Ms. Mason has definitely got it right. Even when living a 24/7 BDSM relationship, it’s not really kink 24/7 – that would be too exhausting to sustain! Instead, she is able to show that all of her people are multi-layered personalities. Sometimes the Dom needs to be cuddled. Sometimes the sub is in charge (especially when working). Always it is about communicating and finding the protocols and practices that work for that relationship.

Aiden and Cam’s relationship is sparks, flames, lust, and love. It is endearing and sweet, then hot and explosive. It is confusing and all-consuming. It is inevitable….and I loved every minute of reading this story.

The best part of loving this story is that I get to start on book three right now!
