When Jenna Crane meant
Kyle Masters she thought he was the best thing since sliced bread. Kyle
fell in love with Jenna at first sight. After a Jenna was almost hurt in
his club and then kidnapped, could Kyle ever keep Jenna safe, or would
the best thing be to let her go and spend his life being miserable?
Would Kyle's self doubts keep these two apart? Jenna knew she couldn't
live without Kyle, but how to convince him of that? With the help of
their friends would these two ever get back together?
I
would have happily given this a five star rating but I had one continuous issue
with the book which I will get into later. Right now I want to talk about
Jenna and Kyle and how fabulous I thought they were. They started out
being set up on a date by Jenna’s best friend. Having a vanilla cuddle
relationship Kyle decided it was time to take Jenna to the Club de Fleurs where
he is a Dom. Slowly introducing Jenna to the BDSM lifestyle he shows her
different scenes and ask what she would be willing to try and what should be
avoided. He teaches her the poses and punishment options as well as the
rules he expects her to follow while in the club.
So
I mention this because not only is she going to be overwhelmed by all of that,
he has other long term surprises in mind for them. I really liked Jenna
and how she handled this situation. She was a nervous wreck even to the
point of almost panic attacks but she knew in her heart this was something she
wanted to try and learn not only for herself but for Kyle. He was
everything in a man she had dreamed of so she was dedicated to giving this her
best shot. I don’t think I have ever laughed during a punishment
before like I did for her first one. China will never mean the same thing
to me again, but this was a great example of how Jenna has decided to view
life, go with it and see if you can make it work out for you.
Kyle
was a sexy thing, very alpha, clearly a well sought after Dom and a former
military soldier. He is now in the practice of protecting those he loves
and countless others. I thought he was well structured in how he taught
Jenna and did it with understanding and love. The author stressed a great
deal about the safe and consensual rules in the life style and portrayed Kyle
as a responsible Dom. He did have one fault though, he knew what he
wanted in regards to their future and he rushed it before she was ready. When
danger came down on Jenna and she was injured and threatened, that was when
Kyle decided that maybe he was the factor that was putting her in the line of
fire. Once again he took control of the situation not allowing Jenna to
have a say in her own life.
Now
the reason I couldn’t give this five stars was it felt very rushed in the plot
and yet the conversations were very repetitive. Kyle would repeat what he was
saying over and over again and the same words were used throughout the book.
We glossed over the events that happened to her in a couple of
paragraphs not allowing me to even feel the drama and emotions that the
characters might have been feeling. I think the character development was
limited and I regret that because from what I was allowed to see each one in
this book will be a dynamic addition to future books in the Club de Fleur
series. I would still recommend this book because the plot idea won me
over and I loved Jenna and Kyle, but I really hope the author will give us the
gift in the future of expanding the scenes and character development so we as
the reader can fully invest in the story and be taken on the emotional roller
coaster I know is there. Even with the things that bothered me I can
hardly wait to read more about this club and the people I met in this
book.
