by Joely Sue Burkhart
Victor Connagher is no stranger to the Dallas BDSM scene. As CEO of a risqué cable channel that caters to adventurous adults, he ensures the lifestyle is portrayed in a positive light. He even supports a local bondage club. Yet behind the cool, confident mask, Victor lives in fear.
Once, and only once, he lost control of his inner Dom—and it cost him his fiancée. Now, no one knows how hard he works to keep his darker appetite for pain buried. No matter how much his saucy, confident associate producer makes his fingers itch to once again take up his riding crop.
Shiloh Holmes is a sub, but she’s no doormat. She’s always suspected Victor has the skills to feed her insatiable need for pain, and now she’s found the perfect way to crack his formidable control. Develop a new reality show, America’s Next Top sub…and dare him to compete.
Week after week, as Shiloh fearlessly challenges the real Victor to come out of hiding, he realizes his past mistake was only a blow to his pride. If he loses Shiloh, he could lose his heart.

REVIEW
• There is a mole in our midst!
• This story shows the extreme edge of a Sadomasochistic relationship. The focus is on extreme pain but the coverage is broad... also serving as an educational tool to the uninformed reader.
• Master V struggles with his need to bring pain to those he loves. So much so that he hurts everyone around him, including himself.
• Shilho sees the potential in him to be the kind of cruel master she needs, but is fighting with a ghost of her own.
• I would totally do the same thing Shilho was and vent all my sexual frustration on an anonymous blog!
• The main characters are not perfect and that makes them all the more endearing. There is a high potential for the reader to loose touch with the story, especially if they are not into the bdsm scene. This story does a great job of highlighting multiple aspects to allow the entire way of life shine through.
• Master V's mom is awesome! And so is his late dad. Would love to read more about his family.
• Favorite Quote
“I’m tired of hearing how bad you got it, you mean, miserable Master with a brand new submissive panting at your feet who wants exactly the kind of punishment you deal out. Get over yourself. You would never plow your fist into her face for disrespecting you, uncaring whether you broke her nose or jaw. You would never beat the shit out of her just because you felt like it. You wouldn’t sell her on the street just to see the humiliation on her face, or carve her up because she’s too pretty and some other man might look at her, or get her hooked on drugs so she’s trapped and completely under your control. You are not a bad man!”
“No,” he said, keeping his voice cool. “I would simply take my crop to her back, buttocks and thighs until she bore the scars for the rest of her life.” pg. 77

Hmmm. Well, besides the m/f aspect, if you are leaving scars, too far for me. I'm finding I'm really not into the s/m side of BDSM. More the D/s (which doesn't necessarily include S/M).
So, you liked the book? :)

Thanks so much for delving into my head. It's scary in here sometimes, so it is nice to have company! Don't step on the zephyr...
