Description from the publisher:

Janie Murphy’s glimpse inside of lifelong friend Cole Daniels’ special playroom has her intrigued, even if she has no physical experience with such wild pleasures. She only knows she’s been attracted to him for years and yearns for a relationship between them – and she’s not afraid to try a little kink.

Dominant Cole Daniels never imagined he’d find himself in the position of dragging a very grown-up and very attractive Janie out of a BDSM club. And when she challenges him to be the one to teach her the joys of the wilder side of intimacy or allow someone else the sheer pleasure of initiating her, he can’t resist.

As Janie begins to fall in love, witnessing a true power exchange causes her the painful realization that touching Cole’s heart is beyond her dreams.

When Janie leaves him, can Cole open his heart to the woman he truly loves? And will she be willing to handle all of Cole?

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

MASTER COLE is a stand-alone, friends-to-lovers, erotic romance.

Wonderfully written with fascinating characters, I was captivated from the first paragraph and didn’t want to leave at the end. IMHO, this is a love story with a BDSM backdrop.

Now you know I don’t like to recap the story. I want you to read it and enjoy it as much as I did. … and I did enjoy it!

That said, if Janie has done all of the reading claimed to prepare for her foray into BDSM how is that she doesn’t understand that honesty is the backbone? Hiding her major, her occupation, her life from her Dom isn’t being honest. How can she expect him to keep her safe (SSC) if he doesn’t know what he’s up against? He can’t know her triggers if he doesn’t know her life.

Another drawback I would mention is that I was a disappointed at the lack of research. This author has written several books involving BDSM and couldn’t find out that the “x-frame” is called a St. Andrew’s cross? Tsk – tsk! (BTW, another word you may want to know: Janie and her friend, Alicia, would be called a pair of SAMi’s for the way they were obviously manipulating Cole into taking them to the club.)

Note: while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
