My Thoughts
How I love Stacey's Club Sin series. This installment didn't disappoint giving us Sawyer who is just delicious. He teams up with PI Chloe who totally kicks ass. I loved that she was his match. Took a bit to get her open to his kink which made me want to give her a shake or two. You know those shakes girlfriends give to make you see the craziness that you're chasing. Yeah. Like that. That is one of the things that I loved about Chloe is that I could totally see her as gal pal for life. Then match her with sexy bossy man Sawyer and you can't hold back all that hotness. I loved their story.
I give Commanded 5 hearts!

About the Book
Club Sin comes alive once again in this decadent new romance
from USA Today bestselling author Stacey Kennedy, perfect for fans of Fifty
Shades of Grey.
A dedicated cop, Sawyer Quinn blows off steam by immersing
himself in his role as a Master at the hottest club in Las Vegas. But when
Sawyer goes after the perp who brutally beat his sister, he teams up with Chloe
Nash, a sexy private investigator who awakens a sweet new need: to keep her to
himself, away from the dungeon of Club Sin. Chloe is beautiful, smart, and too
innocent for the BDSM lifestyle. Sawyer’s never wanted a woman like this
before. Is her love worth swearing off the one thing that keeps him sane?
There’s something different about Sawyer: a commanding
strength that pulls Chloe into a vortex of heady desire. But when she learns
about his double life as a Dom, she’s shocked—and afraid she could never
complete him. Then he saves her life, and just like that, Chloe knows she will
be able to give him anything he desires. She is his—wherever and however he
wants to take her.

Excerpt
“Mom, Dad, this is Chloe Nash.” Sawyer turned to Chloe, who
was standing behind him in the hospital room. “Chloe, these are my parents,
Beth and Roger Quinn.”
Chloe offered her hand to his father. “I’m sorry to meet
under these circumstances, Mr. Quinn.”
His father shook her hand, arching a curious brow at Sawyer.
Sawyer smiled in return, as his parents were well aware that
he hadn’t had a girlfriend for more years than he wanted to count. He
explained, “Chloe is a private investigator who works for a good friend of
mine, Porter Marshall. She’s offered to help us locate Travis.”
“Oh, wonderful. Please call me Roger.” His father shook
Chloe’s hand more firmly now, enclosing her hand in both of his. “We appreciate
any help we can get.” His concerned eyes swept toward Sawyer’s mother, who sat
in the chair next to her sleeping daughter. “I’m worried for Ashlyn, with
Travis still out there.” The dark circles beneath his eyes confirmed his
concern. It was clear that neither of Sawyer’s parents had slept much since
Ashlyn’s attack, and Sawyer figured it’d stay that way until they caught
Travis.
“Ash wakes up every couple of hours,” said his mother. “But
she’s pretty out of it when she does.” She ran her fingers through her curly
hair. “Do the police have any leads?”
“I’m afraid not,” Sawyer answered, noticing how his mom’s body
sagged against the bed with disappointment. “Have either of you eaten anything
today?”
His father shook his head. “We haven’t wanted to leave her.”
“Why don’t you go to the cafeteria?” Chloe interjected, her
voice soft. “We can stay with Ashlyn while you get something to eat. The coffee
is terrible, but it’s better than nothing.”
Sawyer’s heart warmed as he saw the sincere compassion in
Chloe’s eyes. Christ, she was a beautiful woman. Her long chocolate-brown hair
flowed over her shoulders, and her striking blue eyes reminded him of the ocean
in Mexico. So clear. So pure. So honest. Her body, lush and full of curves, was
perfect for his hands.
What he found more beautiful was her sweet concern for his
parents and sister. When he first met her, his attraction had been a sexual
one. For a month now she’d haunted him. How sweet would she taste? How pink
would her cheeks become with pleasure? How would she sound when she moaned in
ecstasy? But he hadn’t counted on the way his heart tripped around her.
Smart. Strong. Caring. Beautiful. She had that something the
others didn’t. Which interested him, and soon became something he couldn’t
ignore.
Chloe was, in fact, unlike any other woman he’d met. Too
pure. Too innocent. Not in the BDSM lifestyle. Somehow knowing that made her
all the more special. Deep down in his gut, he knew he hadn’t asked her to help
him find Travis only because it would comfort Ashlyn. He had asked her also
because of Sawyer’s curiosity over her. He wanted to discover why this little
woman had captivated his mind for a damn month.
Snapping back into the moment, he turned his attention to
his father. “Chloe’s right—you could use some food.” He placed a hand on his
father’s shoulder. “We’ll stay here until you come back.”
His father nodded at Sawyer before taking his wife’s hand
and helping her up from the chair. “Come on, Beth. A little break will give us
strength. We have to take care of ourselves so we can take care of Ashlyn.”
“You’re right,” she agreed, if a bit reluctantly. It came as
no surprise to Sawyer that his mom went straight to Chloe and wrapped her in a
tight hug. “I don’t know you, dear. But if you’re helping us, that makes you a
friend. I cannot thank you enough.”
A slight smile curved Chloe’s lips as she returned the hug.
“No thanks required. Anyone who hurts a woman needs to be put behind bars.”
“I couldn’t agree with you more,” said his mother. She
released Chloe, took her husband’s hand again, and added to Sawyer, “We won’t
be long.”
Sawyer waited until his parents left the room before arching
a brow at Chloe. “You see why finding Travis is so important?”
Chloe nodded. “They look beside themselves.” She approached
the bed where his baby sister lay. A flurry of emotions passed over her face.
“How old is Ashlyn?”
“Twenty-two.”
A soft curse issued from her mouth. “She’s so young to have
to deal with something like this. You will get her counseling once she’s
healed, right?”
“I hadn’t thought about it.” Sawyer went around to the other
side of the bed, taking the seat where his mother had been. “But it’s a good
idea. I’ll look into it once Travis is behind bars.”
“Good.” Chloe’s chin lifted. “She’ll need it.”
Sawyer hesitated, listening to his instincts. “Do you have
experience with abuse?”
“Not personally.” Her strong glance swept to Sawyer. “But in
high school one of my friends got beaten up pretty bad by her boyfriend. Her
parents tried to hush up the whole thing—they were embarrassed, I guess.”
Another thing he liked about Chloe was the strength and
confidence she emanated when she spoke. “What happened to the girl?”
“She killed herself.”
Sawyer looked at Ashlyn, resolving that such a thing would
not happen to his sister. He’d make sure no one would ever blame the victim. “I
would never allow Ash to go down such a dark path.”
“That’s good.” Chloe smiled softly at him. “She’s lucky to
have you.”
Something in her smile stole his damn breath. He couldn’t
pinpoint why Chloe had gotten to him on such an intense sexual level. Her mere
presence—even her scent—was a trigger for him. On a very deep level, he seemed
attuned to her.
