Description
He pushes her sexual boundaries . . .
From
the moment waitress Karina meets him in a New York bar, she knows James
is different. Daring. Dominating. Though he hides his true identity
from her, the mysterious, wealthy businessman anticipates her every
desire and fulfills her secret fantasies. Awakened by his touch, Karina
discovers a wild side she hadn't known existed and nothing is off
limits.
She aches for more . . .
What begins as an erotic game soon escalates to a power play that blurs the line between pleasure and pain. Even as she capitulates to James's sensual demands, Karina craves more. She wants his heart, his soul. She wants his love . . . and she'll break all the rules to get it.

My thoughts
Oh, wow!! Now, first off I have never read any of the erotic books or Fifty Shades or anything like that but let me just say that I loved, loved, loved this book. The storyline was very interesting and I found myself not ever wanting to put this book down.
Every time I thought that Karina was getting in over her head with James, she seemed to amaze me and fit right in. Karina is this part-time bartender and James, this very mysterious, seductive, wealthy individual that has Karina wrapped around his little finger of sorts. He treats her with respect and asks virtually nothing in return from her except for her honesty.....about everything and to everyone.
There was one part of the book that I have to admit that I didn't care for at all and was disappointed with and that was the last two pages of the book. I was left hanging until the next book comes out in January 2014. I just have to say that I have already went over to Amazon and preordered it so that I don't miss it when it comes out because I promise you, I will be reading the second book in this series!!
