4 Smooches!
Synopsis
Investigative journalist Sloane Winters has one goal: take down The Underground, the exclusive BDSM club that’s swallowed her twin. Her exposé will show her sister the truth—there’s no such thing as harmless fun in BDSM.
Darko Aralica immediately recognizes Sloane as a submissive, but her judgmental arrogance about kink is an intriguing challenge. When she begs him to teach her submission, he accepts. He’ll prove Sloane’s rightful place is at The Underground—or tied to his bed.
Darko begins Sloane’s training, guiding her through sensual scenes that strip away her preconceptions about the lifestyle – and herself. Sloane thought she wanted the truth.
But the truth doesn’t always set you free.
Welcome to The Underground.
You can’t buy your way in. You can’t screw your way in. But you might earn your chance to enter the inner circle and submit to Doms who know your desires better than you do. If you can take it.
There can only be one winner of the Submission Games. It probably won’t be you.
Get on your knees. (less)
Review
Right so if you can’t tell by the cover this is a BDSM book! Hmm ok so I wasn’t sure about this one – fifty shades was the first BDSM I read and obviously bloody loved it like everyone else! I tried to get into other BDSM books but I couldn’t so I never finished them. So I was hesitant to read it at first.
Sloane Winters is the main heroine in this book and she is a determined one. She is hell bent on making a point – that point being ‘The underground world’ is disgusting, demoralizing, and just abusive and wrong – especially for her sweet troubled twin sister Tessa. Sloane is very persistent and quite judgmental at times which brings us to her job- a journalist, using this and the fact her and Tessa are identical twins, to her advantage as an in, to get a story while at the same time showing her sister how wrong her chosen lifestyle is.
“You want people to beat the fu@& out of you. Sounds sick to me.”
We then meet Darko – Yes that is his name. And he is as mysterious and sexy as that name of his. He is honest and loyal and did I mention hot? He and Sloane meet in the club that Sloane is planning to burn to the ground and expose it for the filth and danger she knows it to be. I loved Darko, I can’t explain it without giving too much away but I really did like him so much, he was sexy, an alpha of course with a bit of a sensitive side that you had to work on to get to obviously. Which brings me to Sloane. So Yeah, she pissed me off immensely like seriously annoyed me at times – and it wasn’t anything to do with Tamara’s writing. I’m not going to lie it was a lot to do with that she was a journalist- I have just realized lately how the characters in a book being a journalist bothers me – and especially the fact she was so indecisive when it came to the predicament she got herself into. Ok so maybe I love Darko and I am a bit biased and got a bit annoyed at her motives and thought she was a bit of a b*&^%.
“…Not with Mister f(*&^%$# Orgasm simmering in front of me in his chair. I can barely think straight with him so close and I’m not as vulnerable as my twin”
I have only read fifty shades, I did try to get into another series that was based around a BDSM relationship but s*&^ got real weird real quick and I couldn’t finish. Although for me this was different to what is expected of BDSM books – I think a lot of them can be about a wealthy man, introducing a woman to this lifestyle they have plenty of hot sex, a few problems here and there but I don’t think other BDSM books really delve into the lifestyle for everyone involved and not just that couple. Don’t get me wrong there was problems along the way but these characters had a lot of depth and layers to them and of course the chemistry and sex between these two was hot!
.
“Unable to be passive for a second, I grab her hips and f*&^ her from the bottom, tossing her up with my hips, pulling her down with my hands, relishing the sound of her a$$ slapping against me and the sharp gasp it brings from her gorgeous mouth as the head of my cock hits somewhere new and deep inside her.”
I wasn’t sure how I felt about this book to be honest. I got through it fairly quickly, I couldn’t put it down. I felt we needed more though so that can be a good thing or bad thing- depends how you look at it. This story was so many things, yes it was BDSM. It was the lifestyle – but it was the people in that lifestyle not just BDSM itself but the people that live that life and that was one of the most intriguing elements of this story. This was a journey of self discovery and self acceptance. I loved the twists and turns in this book, while there are some you can maybe guess along the way there are still some that deliver that shock factor and it’s done well. Tessa is a big presence during this whole book and I hope the next book in this series is Tessa’s story and will certainly be reading the next one in this series. As unsure as I felt about this book – it has been on my mind all week, so that has to be a good thing right?
