My Thoughts
Dena and Jeff had met, played, fell, and moved in together when they suffered a great loss that changed everything for them. I loved that the author included the parts of their past that showed so well how they were brought together and also the devastation of their loss that tore them apart. My heart broke for both of them as they were unable to verbalize and share their grief.
A few years later thanks to close friends they are thrown together to do a demonstration when Dena finally admits that she has a stalked that is calling and sending messages. Jeff wants to find out who this crazy person is and protect her so he brings Dena back to the home they shared together. This definitely brings all kinds of memories and feelings out that they haven't let go of or dealt with for too long. Then Jeff has to go to his father's home as he is dying. This again brings them to a place where decisions have to be made on what will happen between them. From the very beginning I so wanted Jeff and Dena to get back together knowing there was so much they had to sort through from their past.
The author wrote these characters so well that you can't help being invested and caring about what happens to them. I also loved their circle of friends and definitely want to read more about them. I really loved Jeff and Dena's story.
I give The Collar 4 hearts!

About the Book
The New York Times bestselling author of The Submissive
returns with a scintillating new tale about power, danger, and jaw-dropping
passion....
Nathaniel and Abby are struggling to navigate the
challenging waters of their own relationship, when they get a surprising phone
call from their partners in play, Dena and Jeff, who are in need of a helping
hand…
Seven years ago, blonde, beautiful lawyer Dena Jenkins was
tired of her carefully controlled life. Desperate for something exhilarating to
help her escape the pressures of her demanding job and her senator father, she
joined a steamy, local BDSM club as a submissive. There she met brooding Dominant,
Jeff. The attraction between them was undeniable, and, despite Dena’s doubts,
they couldn’t stay away from each other.
Except, as the years have passed, their blazing connection
has proven difficult to maintain. Dena and Jeff have a history they’d rather
forget, but Dena can’t let go of the past, and Jeff is ready to move across the
country to give her space. Now, to save their passion, they’ll have to
rediscover what it means to trust each other—and give themselves to each other
completely…

Excerpt
Chapter One
Present day
Jeff Parks knew it was taking all of Dena’s willpower not to
look his way. And since he had once had that willpower bend to his command, he
was well aware of the strength involved. On any other given night, he’d be
using his own willpower not to stare, but in light of his recent decision—
“Have you been listening to anything I’ve said in the last
five minutes?” his friend and fellow Dom, Daniel, asked.
Jeff looked back to the man standing at his side. It was
late on a Thursday night and their local BDSM group meeting had just ended. No
one was in a hurry to leave though. Everyone wanted to stay around and talk
with Nathaniel and Abby. At the moment, Nathaniel stood beside Daniel,
grinning. The guest Dominant had led a discussion about keeping D/s
relationships from getting stale. Considering the two scenes Jeff had
participated in a few months ago with the married couple, staleness wasn’t an
issue between Nathaniel and Abby.
“Sorry. What?” Jeff asked Daniel.
“Nothing important. Just going over plans for the play party
tomorrow night.”
“Your house at ten.”
“At least you remember that part,” Daniel said in his
not-quite-teasing voice.
“I’ve got a lot on my mind.” He might as well go ahead and
tell Daniel everything. He’d find out
eventually and the two of them
had been friends for long enough that he deserved to hear the news from Jeff
himself. “I’m moving.”
“You’re what?” Daniel asked in shock.
“Why?” Nathaniel asked at the same time.
Jeff’s gaze automatically found Dena again. She was talking
with Abby and Julie. Daniel’s submissive must have said something funny,
because Dena snorted with laughter, shaking her head. Her long blond hair
swayed with the movement.
“Ah,” Daniel said.
“It’s not what you think.”
