Raine Kendall has been in love with her boss, Macen Hammerman, for years. Determined to make the man notice that she’s a grown woman with desires and needs, she pours out her heart and offers her body to him—only to be crushingly rejected. But when his friend, very single, very sexy Liam O’Neill watches the other Dom refuse to act on his obvious feelings for Raine, he resolves to step in and do whatever it takes to help Hammer find happiness again, even rousing his friend’s possessive instincts by making the girl a proposition too tempting to refuse. But he never imagines that he’ll end up falling for her himself.
Hammer has buried his lust for Raine for years. After rescuing the budding runaway from an alley behind his exclusive BDSM Dungeon, he has come to covet the pretty submissive. But tragedy has taught him that he can never be what she needs. So he watches over her while struggling to keep his distance. Liam’s crafty plan blindsides Hammer, especially when he sees how determined his friend is to possess Raine for his own. Hammer isn’t ready to give the lovely submissive over to any other Dom, but can he heal from his past and fight for her? Or will he lose Raine if she truly gives herself—heart, body, and soul—to Liam?
When I picked up One Dom To Love I was really excited to
begin reading it, the authors are some of my favorites because I know that they
will leave me reaching for my husband and praying that the kids are
asleep. So when I started reading it, I
was in a way disappointed by the end. It’s
not that it is poorly written, boring or just blah. I had an issue with Raine one that I thought
I could overcome but couldn’t by the end of the book. (Mind you this is the first book in the
series so I may come to like her in the next book, it is something that I will
have to wait and see.) She was so
extremely bratty and while I normally love reading about a submissive who has
sass and knows how to use it, Raine at times acts like a toddler throwing a
temper tantrum. She wants to be Hammer’s
but she doesn’t have the slightest idea on how to even be submissive and then
when a punishment sadly gets to an extreme she ends up with Liam.
Liam is Hammerr’s best friend and is also a Dom, he was
trying to get Hammer to finally open his eyes up about Raine and his feelings
but what he does just in a way goes against everything I have ever been taught
in this lifestyle. Yes, he had good
reasoning behind why and I totally get that but the way he reacts after finding
out his scheme may have in one way worked but then quickly backfired not only
hurt him but Raine and Hammer as well.
Was One Dom To Love a good read overall, yes it was. Was it at times extremely sexy? Yes.
Was it at time angsty because of Raine and Hammer? Yes again.
So while I am not fall down in love with One Dom To Love, I did enjoy
it. Will I read the next book as
well? It’s already on my kindle waiting
for me to have a break to read it. I am
interested in seeing where these three authors will take us on Raine, Liam and
Hammer’s journey.
