Publisher's summary

She's a wedding planner. He owns a BDSM club. The last thing they're expecting...is each other.

Emily Madigan is Seattle’s best wedding planner. Her superpower is managing a thousand details without dropping a single one, and her deepest desire is an hour-long bubble bath and a foot rub.

Until her newest clients want to get married at a BDSM club.

Damon Black owns Fettered. He’s proud of who he is and what he does, and nothing scares him - until two of his favorite people want to get married at the place where they fell in love, no matter how many spanking benches they have to move out of the way to do it.

Damon knows as soon as he lays eyes on Emily that she doesn’t belong in his world. A quick tour of his club will prove it.

Except it doesn't.

Harmless - formulaic - good background noise

This one is a mixed bag. There is nothing new here, I thought the performances were good, as was the writing and the production values. This storyline however has been beaten to death. *** Spoiler alert (although since the story is a retreat don't think I'm giving anything away. *** The DOM is able to see inside the sub's mind and knows what she needs and what she is thinking even though the sub herself hasn't worked it out. The sub is a successful, independent business woman who hasn't discovered her hitherto need to submit. That said, this presumably intelligent woman agrees to lock herself away for a day, without access to phone or email, with a complete stranger. There is a prolonged scene, her first ever, during which her DOM frees her from her hangups by edging her for 24 hours without relief. She struggles mightily to not orgasm in order to not 'disappoint' her 'DOM' and he 'helps' her by beating her so the pain chases away the nasty orgasm. Oh thank you, thank you! He is giving her 'what she needed'....I'm pretty sure by that time what she 'needed' was an orgasm. To put the cherry on the sundae, their first sexual encounter, after a day of self-denial....is a mind-blowing bout of anal intercourse, which of course our sub discovers she loves, of course she does, who wouldn't love anal sex with almost no preparation? This is followed quickly by a round of more traditional sex...UTI anyone?

Over the course of this period our DOM finds, for reasons that can't be explained, that this sub is a woman who he can't live without....insta-love all around...blah, blah, blah. Whoever first developed this theme should be getting rich on royalties from all the authors who borrow the plot line.

It was harmless, we don't come here for great literature or to be challenged to think. This story checks all those boxes. It was entertaining enough that I didn't speed up the playback but not engaging enough that I went back if I missed something.

Best BDSM Boom ever!

I’d given up on these types of books because they were all physical and immediate and I had a hard time relating to them. But then I found this series and I know what the others have been missing. This focused on the emotional needs with the physical being hot and erotic but only because of the mental focus on each person. I can’t find the words to described how this connected other than I can’t wait for the next one.

So much fun!

Loved the light fun and darker bdsm of this book! Voice talents were terrific! Can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series!

Kind, insightful and honest

This series is the most insightful, intuitive, and emotionally honest I've found so far … I think almost any adult would be able to personally relate to situations and desires in these books. Before I began reading in this genre, I did not realize that BDSM, in the hands of a skilled and empathetic dom, can facilitate personal growth and emotional healing.

Good Book

So this is your typical cut n' paste 'girl likes BDSM and agrees to contract with a virtual stranger and they end their contract time with the feels for eachother.' Good book.

But I had to write this review because while the narration and narrators are good, the male read - Jeffrey Kafer - has a pleasant voice, but its a straight old timey Dick Tracy Gum Shoe Noir Fiction voice. EVERY TIME he begins to read, the story goes black and white in my head, theres smoke, theres an overhead light, theres a door with the name NARRATOR on the glass in gold foil, theres a trenchcoat and hat. It wasn't really distracting, its just a contrast from the setting the female voice put me in.

Not the typical

Sweet, sexy and satisfying...great story telling! I was totally pleased with the speed of the plot of the book and the voices for each character was perfect.

Enjoyed it very much!

Overall, I greatly enjoyed this! I appreciated that the characters addressed (and did so really well!) that the situation was implausible and, in doing so, made it seem much more believable. I also thought it was great that, with Emily being new to kink, she didn't automatically just magically know everything about it. Damon's explanations and Emily's realizations were pretty spot on for the story to progress believably and enjoyably.

There were really only two things that I had difficulty with at all. The narrator's choice of tone for Damon was pretty rediculous and it took some eyerolling to get past. It seemed he was going for a veteran alpha male, but it came out more like a sterotypical film noir grizzled detective. Other characters voiced from Damon's pov were fine. I was also a little thrown by the "43 year old grandmother" who was written and narrated more like she was an 80 year old granny. Even if she'd started young, she wouldn't have "raised (2 or 3, I forget) daughters to adulthood" and had time to become quite so...old and out of touch.

But those are nit-picky complaints, because overall I really enjoyed this. Looking forward to the next book in the series!
