Description from the publisher:
Sometimes you need to cut and run and sometimes the ties run too deep to abandon.

Bonnie’s job at Purgatory keeps her on edge in more ways than one.  Every day the pain of her grief over losing her Dom threatens to consume her.  Her only escape comes at the hands of the resident tattooed bad boy who likes to keep things light and loose with a variety of women.  He may not be the Dom of her dreams, but he chases away the darkness if only for one night…

Dex is used to unattached submissives coming to him for a chance to feel the kiss of his flogger or the sting of his whip until they find their own Doms.  With his busy life of ink and kink, he likes keeping his women at arm’s length.  Except one night a month when Bonnie shreds him every time she asks him to hold her close.

When an unexpected invitation to an island resort arrives, is it the answer to their problems?  Or their worst nightmare?

*Author's Note: While HOLD ME CLOSE can easily be read as a stand-alone story, you'll likely enjoy reading the earlier Purgatory Club books, too. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HOLD ME CLOSE is the sixth book in the Purgatory Club series.  Though it stands completely on its own, I wish I had more of this amazing series.  I can tell I would love to know more about the people of this club.

I loved this story about a Daddy Dom who cared enough to look for what his girl needed before cancer took him from the world.  #cancersucks

I loved this story about Dex and Bonnie.  Neither realized what her previous Dom had tried to set up between them.  He saw what could be between them long before they were ready.

I love this story that reinforces the need to communicate instead of assuming you know – especially if you think you know all that a label means.  Babygirl doesn’t have to mean only the gentlest of touches all of the time.  Masochist doesn’t mean only the hurt.  Dom doesn’t mean Knows-All-Infallibly.  Dare I say, all people are shades of grey?  It’s true.

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