Graceful Series, Book 2: Plus-sized Grace Kinison lives a dull life. She’s a teacher and aspiring author, who does nothing but work, and then write on her novel. That is until she becomes a cyber submissive.
Grace has agreed to help her childhood friend’s husband plan her surprise birthday party. Grace thinks her fellow party planner, Toffer Shelley, is a writer on a TV show. What she doesn’t know is that he’s the show’s sexy star, Drake Dawson. He’s a Dom, and he wants to work his magic on her.
When Grace runs into trouble at work her cyber relationship turns into the real thing after she travels to Hollywood to meet Toffer. She’s thrilled to be meeting her Master, until she realizes that he’s the most gorgeous man in Hollywood.
But Toffer won’t let Grace judge him by his looks. He takes her on a sexual journey full of bondage and submission, which give her strength to overcome challenges in her own work.

REVIEW
• A nice intro to a Master/slave relationship. It starts out rolling and then jumps into hyper drive.
• Being with Grace in the beginning, and feeling her mixed emotions about the possibilities of submitting, was a lovely explanation into the kink.
• Before reading this, I wasn't quite sure how someone could be a cyber sub. Very interesting, the building of trust and the warmth of approval from a person you have never actually met.
• Toffer's professional support outside of the Dom/sub role is awesome. Role playing the upcoming confrontation is a golden support method and I really enjoyed seeing him become a friend outside of the lover.
• Forgiveness comes a bit too fast but perhaps I just hold grudges.
• Yay, Grace! For totally seeing through Giselle AND for figuring out she was overreacting later on. She's not a clueless heroine and those reactions felt very real. A heroine with a brain that can eventually sift through her emotions!
FAVORITE SCENE QUOTE
An impromptu phone sex rendezvous.
His words were husky, and seconds after Grace said yes, she heard him moan out his orgasm. How she wanted to be there so she could watch, see him in his passion; passion induced because she’d done what he’d asked her to do. The sound of his pleasure almost pushed her over the edge.
She took a deep breath and held it to keep herself from climaxing. She focused her thoughts on lying still, and the thin chain of self- control almost snapped when Master’s deep voice sounded in her ear.
“Fifteen minutes, Grace, starting after you turn off the phone. I’ll talk to you tomorrow night.” Then the line went dead.

Ummm, so is that cover mode the ever so fat and obese size 10? Plus size my ass. Well, it is but that's a different story. ;-)
Seriously, cyber spanking? That so would not work. LOL At least not for me. Touching myself (in a multitude of ways) does not have the same effect as having someone else touch you. Seems whack to me. Okay, I have serious issues with this theme obviously. Ignore me kay? LOL
@Tam - That IS an empire waist nighty, you never know what is hiding under there. *wink*
Perhaps you should do some personal investigation into the cyber spanking and report back to us?
Nope, based on her legs, she's not "plus-sized" in any way. Sheesh.
Im a 10 and that is in no way a real 10 on that picture...
beyond that Im really interested in this book...Learning about cyber s/m sounds kinda fun ;)
