Claire's Dare

Ember Club, Book 1

By: C.A. Krause

Narrated by: Ava Monroe

Two experienced people in the lifestyle shouldn’t struggle with beginner problems, right? Turns out they are only human, too…

When Claire opens an exclusive club catering to those with distinct tastes in partners, her professional life is finally on track. Only a friend’s dare reminds her she hasn’t taken charge of a partner of her own in way too long. When did her life turn into all work and no play? When Heath approaches her on the opening night of Ember Club, their mutual attraction is undeniable.

With his fitness business booming, seeing Claire is an easy step to take. Except, when Claire exerts her dominance outside of the bedroom to help Heath with a business dilemma, Heath rejects her help. For Heath, the customer is always king—or queen, and it’s best to avoid stirring the pot even as he’d love to hand the reins over.

With one of them avoiding conflict and the other struggling with past insecurities, will the embers they created together continue to burn? Claire’s Dare is the first book in a stand-alone series of interconnected romances that feature female-led relationships. This is a spicy yet romantic book without cliffhangers.

sexy & romantic

the story is exciting and well paced for readers & listeners. audiobook has emotional depth and brings the audience right into the scene.

Good Binge Listen!

Story is exciting and flows well for a quick, binge-worthy listen. The performance included several noticeable edits and the male character(s) can be hard to discern.

Fun story and rewarding conclusion!

great narration

the narrator did amazing with all the voices! she's awesome.

the story was fun but my only complaint is about how much weight was discussed. it became redundant.

Amazing Narrator

The story was pretty good on its own, but the narration carried it even further. Well done!!

Spicy and fast paced bdsm story

What an easy read! It was fast paced and kept me interested. A spicy little bdsm book that has the smut and a storyline with a hardworking FMC that the author makes very clear (very appreciated) in the beginning is not how bdsm relationships should be formed nor is this book for education and is, in fact, a work of fiction.
