Description from the publisher:

Layla’s wicked fantasies had already caused problems that left her with deep emotional scars, so when she got a second chance to live them out, she insisted on strict rules and boundaries.

Dustin agreed to abide by Layla’s rules because that’s the only way he could have her, but after a while, it wasn’t enough. He wanted the whole woman—the impulsive, stubborn parts as well as her sweet, generous side—and so he insists she give him a fair chance to prove he’s worthy of her love. He’s over the moon when she agrees to date him, even if she insists on a vanilla relationship.

Complicating matters is the return of her abusive ex-Master, a kidnapped child, and a human trafficking ring that’s been targeting teens from the community center Layla runs. When the investigation turns up nothing, Layla takes desperate measures that put her and Dustin in danger.

In Re/Claimed (Doms of the FBI 3), Michele Zurlo delivers another hot, heart wrenching, and stunning BDSM romantic suspense tale.

Warnings: D/s, kidnap/breaking-and-entering fantasy play, impact play, bondage, spanking, anal play, electric play, and some seriously sexy kinky footwear

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

RE/CLAIMED is the third book in the Doms of the FBI series.  Each book in the Doms of the FBI series stands alone in terms of the romance, but the suspense reading experience is richer if you've read the previous books in the series.



This story was a fantasy of perfection – or – a perfect story of fantasy kink.  I loved it.  I’ve never before read anything that included the fantasy kink and it was interesting to gain some insight into the negotiation required. 



Layla and Dustin both want more; the problem is Layla’s past has caused her to put up walls – thick, high walls.  It was a fun read as she struggles between her desire to submit and her fear to let go.  In other words, she has a fear of trust.  Dustin’s patience is amazing, and his love is a pure white light. 



When Layla turns to Dustin and the FBI to assist her when one of the girls from her Community Center goes missing, her past is brought into her present.  Her ex-Dom, Brodie, is an evil snake.  He is a prime example of the type of man who calls himself a Dom when he’s really a self-important, self-centered, misogynistic sadist.  In fact, he gives true sadists a bad name.



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