Publisher's summary

Her heart’s desire is the one thing he vowed never to give.

Samantha Rose views her dance - on the silks, on the lyra, on the ballroom floor - as an empowering art form. Not a come-on to entice men to shower her with fancy gifts she doesn’t want. In reality, her dreams look more like home. Love. Lots of children. So far, she’s zero-and-too-many for finding the man who’ll fit into that dream. He definitely isn’t Derek Damon Wright, the enigmatic, Viking-conqueror sexy owner of Club Frost. Though every time he looks at her, she feels it like silk wrapped around her skin.

With 30 successful night clubs worldwide, Derek hasn’t had time to play - the kind that involves ropes, steel, and webbing on tender female flesh. Until he spots Sam suspended 20 feet above Club Frost’s stage, and heat blooms in places inside him long gone cold. Except the things he wants to give her - luxury, decadence - she doesn’t want. And the one thing she does? He vowed long ago never to give anyone.

dark, intense

Their love story all started with her acrobatic dancing with the large ring and the flowing scarves at the Grand Opening of his club. Derek had visions of how he could tie her with those scarves. He was intrigued by her, wanted to know more about her. He doesn't do relationships.
Samantha knows Derek is a powerful, rich man, with many connections. She's not interested in his money. She wants to know him. but how can she get to know him better emotionally when he won't let her in?
Oh yeah, their connection is magnetic. Derek is questioning why is he chasing after this woman? It's nothing he has done before. Why this woman?
This is a story of danger, mystery, self discovery, BDSM, finding unexpected love.
Anastasia Whatley narration is wonderful! I enjoyed listening. U was gifted this aufio snd offered my honest review.

Excellent series

I just discovered author Elizabeth SaFleur and narrator Anastasia Watley - what excellent writing and totally engaging performance!
I am so disappointed that none of this author’s other books i can find are available as audiobooks.
The description of BDSM practices and the community standards is so well presented - if you think this level of darkness is not for you, this series will change your mind
The character development in each book totally reeled me in - each person has an intriguing story and clearly presented motivation.
These books are worth audible credits and to my joy - there are no cliffhangers!
Please bring more Audio books Elizabeth!

A lot of qualities

This book had everything: perfect narration, a swoon worthy hero, a sexy and smart heroine, scorching hot intimate scenes with BDSM flavor. So I don’t know why I couldn’t get emotionally involved with the story. I can’t pinpoint where it went wrong. Maybe I just wasn’t in the right mindset at the moment.

I was bothered by some side characters. I don’t really like the idea of some kind of secret society of Doms. Like as a Dom, you can’t have a friend who isn’t a Dom too. Too bad, because I enjoyed the level of their friendship and what they’re ready to do for each other.

The approach to BDSM was quite healthy, with the setting of boundaries, and the presence of aftercare. That was kind of refreshing.

So, a lot of qualities, but I kept outside of the story.

SaFleur crafts a maze ....

Derek and Samantha prove adept at thing emotions in knots. The heat of their attraction smothers your senses. The secrets they keep are enticing and the heartache they feel seems all encompassing. There's always a twist waiting in the wings to throw you off your game. SaFleur crafts a maze that is complicated enough to blow your mind, but steamy enough to melt your heart.

great love story

I enjoyed seeing Derek changed through love. He was an innately good man with a soft heart for the right woman. I liked Sam's strength and perseverance for what's important to her. Many obstacles overcome with love and time. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job.

Great!

I loved this story! I couldn't seem to put it down! I think this is my first book by Elizabeth! She kept my interest all the way through! The characters were well done and the emotions......! And I think this was my first time listening to Anastasia! She did a great job! I would definitely recommend this story!!
I did request this free audiobook and am giving an honest review voluntarily!!!!
