Publisher's summary

When business brings him to New York City indefinitely, Gage Hollister is sure that somewhere in this massive city, there must be a woman whose need to be dominated matches his thirst to dominate. But as his search through the local BDSM clubs drags on, he begins to doubt whether such a woman exists. When he's asked to chaperone his best friend's younger sister, who's on her first solo trip as an adult, he welcomes the distraction.

Zoe Marshall has been in love with Gage forever, and has saved herself for him alone. Now, after careful planning and a bit of luck, she finally has the chance to show him she's all grown-up and ready to be his. Gage believes himself too old and jaded for an innocent like Zoe, but she is relentless in her innocent seduction, and soon his resistance crumbles. But as their love blooms, reality tackles their dreams. And in the aftermath, the choices they face will strain the bonds of friendship and family. Perhaps beyond repair.

NY Series Book 3

Very good series. Enjoyed it very much. Lots of excitement and family dynamics. Well done.

So good!

This is definitely the best in the series so far. I loved Gage and Oops together. He treats her like a Dom without treating her like a brainless moron. He lets her have her say too, gets her opinion, talks to her honestly... This is the best portrayal of a real, loving BDSM relationship I've heard in a romance book in a long time. I disagree with anyone who says that he was using her or didn't have feelings for her. To me it was very obvious that he had feelings for her from the very beginning. He loved her like a sister, struggled with that turning to something else but once he realized he'd fallen for her he was all in and it was lovely to 'see'.

Good Ending to the Series

I enjoyed this book. I liked it better than the 2nd book. This book revolves around Gage and Brice's sister Zoe. I think it was a good solid listen. At first I could not get over the age difference but after a bit it did not matter. I also think that the author did a good job wrapping up all the loose ends. The narrator was good although I still prefer to have a female narrator. For some reason I just cannot get past male narrator’s female voices. However, he did do a good job compared to some. I think it was worth the credit.

Sex.

It is just so much sex! like of course it's an erotica novel and all, but it is SO MUCH SEX. It's all porn and no plot which made it sort of boring....

Taboo romance. 3 POV. HEA. Standalone-ish

This is a Sexy, master/slave, rich man, taboo romance. Gabe is the best friend of Zoe’s brother. He is 10+ years older than Zoe. He watched her grow up from a baby. Zoe grew up, secretly loving Gabe and tailored her life around what she thought he wanted-all without him knowing. It’s a pretty hot and heavy listen.

The narration was as good as it could be, with a man reading for a woman in third person. Gotta say though, Christian Fox does a sexy as hell Texas accent.

There is a pretty satisfying HEA, set 2 1/2 years in the future.

This is a standalone book but there are other books before and after this based on the co characters.

YUMMY....

I’ve read this book and I’ve listened to this book more times than I could possibly say. I honestly bought this audible book about 3 or 4 years ago and I may have already written a review but I’m doing it again because I melt with Christian Fox narrating.
First off I love this series, all 3 books are HOT!!! But this book, mmm mmm mmm... Christian Fox is my FAVE male narrator and he just adds more to this storyline. Normally I’m not attracted to a Texan accent but he has me melting when I hear him talk. I don’t know who chooses the narrator for each book but he is perfect for this series! I listen to this book at least once a month when I’m in bed at night. I like to listen to books I know when I go to bed every night and new books during the day. Man, he heats me up! I’m sure my husband thanks him regularly LOL!
I like that each book in this series has a different storyline but at the same time they mesh well together. I love all the characters from each book and like how they are all incorporated into all the books. You know what’s happening in each characters life from one book to the next.
I have over 500 audible books and I have about 5 books that I always go back to and this is my #1!
Thank you for a great book in a great series with the BEST narrator ever!
HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!

Two Thumbs up!!

Really good and really hottt! It has a great storyline! It doesn’t shows the slave side of BDSM and I had read one really negative review saying how horrible it was and I can’t say I would personally do it but it is a choice and it’s only one part of the BDSM lifestyle....That’s one of the many, many, reasons I love these books because it really does break it all down...There’s different aspects to the BDSM lifestyle; sub-missives, dominants, masochist.....but that’s the thing you can or may not fall under any category and that’s okay because it’s just information and it’s a choice....

Growing up

Zoe Marshall has been in love with Gage Hollister ever since she was a kid. Gage has never had the desire to settle for one woman and even enjoys sharing. Then when Zoe says she's coming to NY and needs a place to stay, Gage doesn't think twice his bff's younger sister because he remembers Zoe as the sweet youth and not the woman she's become...and boy he's in trouble..mentally and physically.

Zoe, puts her plan into action and torments Gage with her barely there clothes and sultry figure he can't seem to resist her relentless seduction to be hers. Now, Gage is worried that his friendship is over as soon as Zoe wears him down and Zoe worries she'll be sent packing back to mom and dad.

Christian Fox narrates this book bringing Zoe's bubbly, sassy and naive personality to the surface and expresses Gage in his tormented world with ease.

the absolute best out of 3

Cloe Gage and Evan needs to have their own book.. only wish is it could've been longer...

AUTHOR AND NARRATOR SHOULD ALWAYS WORK TOGETHER!!!

Almost anything narrated by Christian Fox is an automatic download for me and if you buy this one, you'll understand why.
This book is about a love. It's an awakening for Gage and a fulfillment for Oops. Honestly, that's her nickname, being named that because she was born to her parents when they thought they were done with having babies.
Because this is an erotic romance, I don't want to say more, because we know what that adjective describes, however; this is one of the best written and narrated ones I've listened to. There is some BDSM, but it's not too difficult to listen to rating it on a scale of 1-10, I"d give it a 5. I'm not a fan on BDSM literature, but like I said, I couldn't pass up listening to a erotic book narrated by Christian Fox.
For those who choose to listen to erotica, then this one will be worth your credit or your money.
