Publisher's Summary

A doctor living a double life.

By day, Dr. Will Daley is one of Dallas's most eligible bachelors, but every night he dons his leathers as one of Sanctum's most desired Doms. He's sworn off looking for a long-term relationship but is captivated by the club's newest member, Bridget Slaten, even though they couldn't be more different. She comes from a world of privilege and he was raised in poverty. When he discovers she needs a date to her sister's wedding, he makes certain he's literally the only man for the job.

A woman no longer willing to live in the shadows.

For most of her life, Bridget hid herself behind her laptop. She can write romantic, sensuous lives for her characters but not herself. Having Master Will as her date to the wedding is a thrilling prospect but he has a special request. He wants her to accept two weeks of his services as a Dom, a lover, and expert in BDSM, and that is an offer she can't refuse. Their sexual chemistry is undeniable, but it's in the tender moments that Bridget realizes she's falling for a man who might never trust her with his heart.

A love strong enough to cherish.

Together in paradise for a week, Will realizes he can't imagine his life without Bridget. As the wedding approaches, ghosts from their past come back to haunt them and threaten to ruin the peace they've found. With everything exposed, they will have to risk it all to claim the love that can set them both free.

Almost burned out my earbuds.

Lexi Blake always writes a good story and Ryan West is a superlative narrator. He does a great job with women's voices as well as men's voices and brings emotion to the story. Don't miss this one, it's well worth a credit.

Sweet D/s book with strong likeable characters.

I often find the women in D/s books overly hung up on their insecurities and the doms a little to mushy at the end, BUT this book has a great story, with really likeable characters and some humor to go along with it.

Great great story

Wasn’t prepared to be as invested in these two as it turned out I was. Their story was so intriguing, I couldn’t put it down. Love their storyline where they got back at those that were trying to destroy them. Super hot and romantic.

Big Tag is so funny!

Lexi never lets me down. I 💘 the taggert family, the humor and the bond all the men and women have together. I also love ryan west as narrator. Please keep the stories coming.

A fan of this series

This series does not "NEED" to be listened to in order although, I do recommend listening to the men with the golden handcuffs first for a better background on Bridgett and Dungeons Games for more background on Will.

Nice shorter read, good story

Enjoy the fact, this novel was shorter, and just showed a straight forward. Enjoyable boy meets girl story with a happy ending.

What is love?

I really liked seeing Bridget - who we met in Serena's story The Men with the Golden Cuffs - get her chance to shine. An erotic romance author, Bridget just wants to be loved for who she is... too bad Will Daley doesn't believe in love (or does he?!). I loved the introduction to the Daley family and can't wait to see the Daley sisters get their happily ever after!!
This was a great story that could have easily been a full length novel - as a novella it had me wanting more for sure!

Ryan West - once again - does a brilliant job of bringing these characters to life!! I loved listening to this story and that's all Ryan so thank you!!

Disappointed

I guess I should have kept going but after the tenth time he asked her to trust him and he hadn’t ever done anything but be honest with her.. I was through. Her insecurities just don’t work for me. I get the other ladies in the other books but this chick.. I can’t. I didn’t even make it to the wedding in Hawaii. That’s a first for me. I guess I loved Serena’s book so much and she was such a good friend in that book I wanted to give her a chance. But not every book works for everyone. I’m headed to the next book in the list.

cute story

romantic story, with bdsm 😁. good listen and continuation of the series. narration was good

Big Tag is hilarious!!
