About the book:

The New York Times bestselling author of Call on Me invites you to discover the thrill of control as one couple wrestles for power in and out of the bedroom…

Samantha Dunbar needs to forget Gibson Andrews. When he trained her to be a domme, she experienced just how hot things could get with the sexy executive. She was ready to hand him everything—including her heart. But Gibson backed away, declaring them incompatible. He’s a dominant, and Sam’s no submissive.

But after an attack shakes Sam to her core, Gibson tracks her down at her family’s rundown farmhouse and makes her an offer. He’ll stay the week and be hers in every way—a helping hand for the renovation and a willing lover in her bed. He swore he’d never give up control to anyone again, but he hasn’t been able to touch another woman since Sam. Maybe a week alone with her will cure him of his relentless craving.

But one taste only makes them want more, and Sam and Gibson are drawn in deeper than ever. The man who won’t give in has just met the girl who won’t give up…

My Thoughts:
Roni Loren is the master of smart erotica, IMO.  I’ll read anything she writes, especially when I want some heavy duty spice in my life!

I’ve mentioned this before, but I have a hard time with BDSM stories that feature the female as the dominant and so I was a little hesitant to read Samantha and Gibson’s story because Samantha is very much a dominant.  Gibson has helped with training Sam at the Ranch, playing at being a submissive to her dominant while she learns the ropes, but Gibson has only ever felt comfortable as a dominant, and even though Sam stirs up all kinds of desires, he doesn’t think he could ever come out as a straight up submissive for anyone, which has lead to an impasse between these two.  Neither wants to compromise, so they’re willing to let each other go in spite of the massive amounts of chemistry and attraction between them.

Circumstances conspire against their better judgment and resolve when Sam is attacked and Gibson makes it his mission to see that Sam is okay, even if that means forcing his company on her while she restores her secluded, out of the way, childhood home. 

Like I said, I’m not a huge fan of the female dominant/male submissive scenario, but Roni Loren pushes all kinds of my hot buttons, so I had to pick this story up anyhow.  While I still wasn’t 100% on board, I have to admit that Sam and Gibson seemed made for each other. They delved into the emotions and thinking underneath their cravings, making their story so much more than a romance with lots of HOT sex.  There was plenty of that, let me tell you, and I’m always amazed at the new and creative ways Roni Loren comes up with to light my fires!  It’s a good idea to have a warm body nearby to take the edge off the desires conjured up by her writing!!

Roni Loren continues to impress with her beautiful, fiery writing! Some may shy away from novellas, but that would be a mistake with Ms. Loren.  With every novella she brings a satisfying, deeply emotional story, sure to melt your panties right off of you!
