My Thoughts
Vanessa is in college and doing her final paper on the BDSM lifestyle, so she goes to a club to do research. Will is a Dom that hasn't collared a sub since his last breakup that was a bad one. He can't resist Vanessa though. He takes the time to explain domination and submission to her sharing that the power exchange is actually a gift given by the sub. I loved that he took the time to explain all of this to her. His friend Rod plays matchmaker a few times in their story and I wanted to know more about him. He intrigues me. Will is a hostage negotiator which adds a few bumps along the way and Vanessa has to decide what she wants. Will suffers a trauma and they have to learn to navigate their relationship outside of the bedroom.
The author didn't rush this story and spent time on the details which made me love it even more. I love that these two people found each other and fell in love. I left their story wanting more of it.
I give Awakening 4 hearts!
About the Book
Vanessa Clark is doing a research paper for one of her last
classes – Psychology of Sex – before receiving her Bachelors’ degree. Once she
discovers the topic of BDSM, everything else pales in comparison. But where
will she learn about it? The Internet has its limits, and Vanessa needs to talk
to real-life practitioners of BDSM to really understand the lifestyle and write
about it.
Will Astin, who serves as a dungeon master at a local BDSM
club, doesn’t expect to find a gorgeous, irresistible young woman when he
agrees to a meet and greet with a college student as a favor to the club’s
owner. Even better, she’s interested in learning about BDSM for what he
suspects are more than scholarly reasons, and Will decides he’s just the man to
teach her about it, hopefully claiming her for his own.
Will and Vanessa begin a journey which teaches both of them
there’s more to BDSM than meets the eye. In the process, they grow closer, but
when Will’s job puts him in the line of fire – literally – their roles are
reversed and Vanessa has to take charge. Can they handle the rapid shift in
their burgeoning dynamic, or is their relationship doomed?
