Resumen del Editor

An exclusive society of the world's most powerful gentlemen. Nothing will get between them and the women they want.

Hope Malloy is not intimidated by rich, powerful men. So when she's hired to find a bride for billionaire Rafe Sterling, she’s certain the assignment will be easy. Not only is he sexy and a renowned philanthropist, the man is heir to one of the country’s largest hotel fortunes. Who wouldn’t want to marry him?

Rafe Sterling does not want a wife. Too bad it's the one thing he desperately needs. His father ran off with a woman half his age, and Rafe can't become permanent CEO of Sterling Worldwide unless he's married. When he’s ambushed by the competent matchmaker, he’s captivated by her intelligence and seductive innocence. All of a sudden, he is thinking about a future and having her under his complete and total command.

Will she run when she discovers his deepest, darkest secrets and shocking, sensual demands?

Omniscient Dom, weak career woman, insta-lust

Well the author has an excuse, it's only a romance. The plot is consistently silly, from the over-arching premise that brings Rafe and Hope together to the instant attraction that the two feel for each other. Hope, a successful career woman, has an immediate attraction to an unyielding, demanding executive. The attraction is so strong that by their second meeting she is
stripping for him at her office, neglecting her business, allowing Rafe to humiliate and subjugate her, tie her up, beat her and engage in behaviours that are completely outside her norm. Rafe, after just one meeting has decided that Hope is the woman that he needs. Within days he proposes to her, explains she will need to provide him with children and she would be his 7-24 submissive, subject to his whims including greeting him naked when he returns home from work. In return he promises he would be faithful, although he reserves the right to play at sex clubs with other women. How could any independent career oriented woman refuse an offer like that? As I said, it's a romance, it doesn't have to make sense.

It would have been nice if Hope could have held out a bit longer, perhaps she could have held on to some semblance of self respect, some aspect of self determination, perhaps pushed back against Rafe once, but I guess the orgasms were just that good. If her experiences with Rafe were any indication she was condemned to never enjoying a meal, a social event or a relaxing evening without having to provide Rafe with a "sustaining" dose of her suffering. You know: wearing nipple clamps. an anal plug or enduring public humiliation.

Suspend disbelief, set aside any thoughts of equality in a relationship and let story the flow by.

The narrators did a good job with what they were working with.
