Received this as an ARC from the author. Another great book in Club exposure series. Noah had lost his last sub but here he meets a girl.who was dating his stepson but there is instant connection but it's not until years later they connect and they start a relationship. Noah is an older guy but a dirty dom into humiliation but met his match in reva. As with other club exposure books mystery and intrigue. With everyone interlinked from previous books helping through the story. Can't wait for Gages book he's a hot mystery who needs his hea.

This is book five in the Club Exposure series and focuses on Reva Calhoun and Dr Noah Jasper. While this is a stand-alone book really there are characters popping up from other books in this series and in the wider Ivy Nelson world do would be best reading this as part of the whole Club Exposure series. Be aware that there are certain elements in this book that can be triggering so reader discretion is advised.
Reva is focused on her education going for her PHD/Masters and is dating Parker Noah Jasper’s adopted step son. She first meets Noah when she accompanies Parker to give Noah some devastating news. While Noah definitely makes an impact on her Reva focuses on her relationship with Parker. But five years on she seems to be treading water where Parker is concerned, they’re more like roommates than in a relationship. When Parker unexpectedly publicly proposes on a trip to New York things don’t go as planned. She’s alone and the only person she reluctantly calls to help is Noah. Well so begins quite the whirlwind of a journey between the two of them. Long repressed feelings erupt and the the chemistry between them is electric and all consuming. Noah is adamant that they can only be together for thirty days…can Reva manage those terms or are they both setting themselves up for heartbreak and failure.
Noah is a very driven man, rich beyond his wildest dreams but he has never relied on that wealth rather working a very dangerous job with the Government. He’s a man with very specific tastes and is drawn to the lifestyle that Club Exposure offers. Noah is in to intense kink and these scenes are definitely not for the feint of heart. Has he found a kindred spirit in Reva…After the loss of his girlfriend he withdraws from his friends but Reva makes him live again and forces him to put aside the mask his been wearing these past five years.
All in all this was a very enjoyable, emotional fast paced story. Both Reva and Noah are strong characters but they are also emotional and fragile in places. While there is a bit of an age gap between Noah and Reva it’s not really a huge deal in the book rather it focuses on the relationship between the two of them.
There is drama aplenty with Parker getting himself caught up in a very dangerous situation which has huge consequences for both Reva and Noah. All is not sunshine and roses in their relationship but I loved how they stood their ground and did what was right for them. The bonus of the other couples from the previous stories really helped elevate this book. I loved how the women immediately took Reva in as one of their own, while Noah recognises that life while it is messy does move on and he needs to let go of the past and embrace the future. I received an advanced copy for my review and can honestly say that this was one intense read which I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend.

4.5 stars - OMYW taboo suspense with lots of kink and dirty talk
POV: dual
F BOMBS: yes
CLIFFHANGER: sort of, HFN, part of a series that continues
NEW AUTHOR FOR ME: no
POSSIBLE TRIGGERS: cheating, explicit sexy times, licking a shoe, BDSM, D/s, power exchange, hair-yanking, rough sexy times, anal, sexy time during that time of month
[The following T/W can be found at the beginning of book: Kidnapping, gambling addiction, knife play, spit play, degradation, praise kink, honorifics, punishment, spanking, discipline, exhibitionism, consensual face slapping, bondage, age gap]
CHARACTERS: Reva Calhoun (28) and Noah Jasper (46)
OVERALL: Smart & strong FMC, older & powerful yet sweet Dom MC - lots of kink and dirty talk - would read other books by this author -- PLEASE check possible triggers before reading
PROS:
1. Interesting characters had depth and were more than meets the eye, or "masked"
2. There's a good story along with intense chemistry and sexy times
3. This is my first book in this series, but I was so enamored with the author's writing, storyline, all of the characters (including supporting characters that acted as part of a family), and follow-through that I've already purchased other books in this series and other series.
CONS:
1. Not for everyone - PLEASE check possible trigger warnings before reading
2. The exciting part near the end was anticlimactic; was really looking forward to the poker sting operation but it never happened - it was taken care of by other people
3. I would have liked the cliffhanger about another character to be in an epilogue so that it didn't take away from the unique Happily for Now (HFN) between the MCs.
NOTEWORTHY:
1. This is book 5 in the Club Exposure series
2. Although there's an age gap between MCs, there's no age play (Daddy/little)
3. Characters from this series and author's other series (Sin City Suits) make cameos
4. Favorite quote from Noah: "Reva, I'm not looking for just a f*** toy I can discard when I'm done. I'm looking for someone who can take everything I give and still be the powerful bad@$$ she is when she leaves my bed."
I received an advanced copy and, as always, am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Reva Calhoun is at Parker Jasper’s house when the police come looking for his stepfather Noah Jasper. They follow the police to Noah’s house and the police give Noah the bad news that his girlfriend Elise, has been murdered. Reva finds herself weirdly attracted to Noah and goes with Parker to the funeral to support Noah.
9 months later, Parker’s sister Mandy calls Reva and asks her to step in for her bridesmaid that couldn’t come to France for the wedding because her passport expired. Noah is standing in for the groomsman who couldn’t make it. Noah and Reva are paired to walk down the aisle together.
5 years after meeting Noah, Reva is still dating Parker. She moved in with him but she feels as if they are just roommates that occasionally have sex. He takes her to New York and proposes to her. When Reva says that they haven’t even discussed marriage, Parker tells her if she doesn’t say yes, they are over. Reva says no and leaves the restaurant for a walk. When she gets back to their room, Parker had her key deactivated and is screwing Monica in their room. He lets Reva get her things from the room and tells her to make sure she gets everything out of his place in DC before he gets back. Turns out Parker has been cheating on her with Monica the whole time they have been together. Reva is distraught. She finds Noah’s business card in her purse and calls him. Noah helps her get back to DC and puts her up in a hotel.
Reva gets a part time job at the ACSL (American Coalition for Sexual Liberty). She is also going back to finish her dissertation so she can have her PHD. At her job with the ACSL, she is going to be working with Gage Allard at Club Exposure. She goes there to meet Gage and get a tour of the place. Noah and Gage are old friends and Noah is at the Club the same night as Reva.
What happens when Noah and Reva give into their desires and have a contract set up for 30 days together? Can Noah open up to a new submissive and let down the mask he wears around everyone else? Will Reva get to explore her sexuality with Noah? Will Parker Jasper leave them alone?

It really is a beautiful story.
This was a beautiful story between two very strong individuals. I loved it! While this, I guess, considered an age-gap romance, the difference in age really did not factor into their story as much as the fact that Reva had first dated and lived with Noah’s stepson. Reva and Noah met 5 years ago and then again at another time, the two did not move on what was a mutual attraction. When Parker kicked her out and she was left in a difficult position, she took Noah up on his long standing offer of help. That help lead to what was to be a short, hot, and steamy time-limited romance. But their 30-day contract soon gave way to a mutual attraction as they got to know each other better and they soon realized just how much they complimented each other. But like any good story, there is a mystery and in this case is it a mystery as to how/what why Reva’s relationship ended as it did with Parker, Noah’s stepson. The more Noah and Reva find out about Parker, the more the suspense increased until…. (Don’t want to spoil anything so I will leave the rest up to the reader)
The dynamic between Reva and Noah is more intense than many other books in this genre but it is so beautifully written. I think this is one of the best books I have read to date by this author. It is, as I said at the start, a beautiful story. The bonus, in this book, is getting to connect with the couples of the earlier book sin this series and others.

This is the fifth book in this series. It can be read as a standalone but has couples from this series and crossover appearances from other series.
This features Reva Calhoun. She is a young woman working on her Masters and PhD. She is dating Parker Jasper for a few weeks. When he gets a late night visit from the police she convinces him to go with them to break some bad news to his stepfather, Noah Jasper. She is strangely attracted to Noah but pushes this feelings aside. Five years later Parker dumps her in New York City. And she ends up calling Noah for help. Thus begins a whirlwind romance. Not only does he get her back to D.C. but he fixes all of her problems. Against all the reasons not to they give in to their mutual attraction. But soon Reva’s life is in danger. Parker has put them both in the cross hairs. As the danger ratchets up so does the intensity of the relationship. Can Reva get over the fact of his history with other women? Can Noah let down his mask to allow this relationship to flourish? Will their mutual secrets drive them apart? Or pull them together. This is a fast paced, action filled story. There are intense scenes of passion and danger. Ivy Nelson had written a story that grips this reader from page one. And I couldn’t put it down until I was done. I did receive an advance copy for my honest review.

Reva meets Noah when she accompanies her boyfriend Parker to his adopted father's house because of a tragedy and to be there for Noah when the police let him know. Reva has also experienced senseless violence and is able to bond with Noah and be there for him. You feel the chemistry between the 2 from the get go.
Jump ahead 5 years and this is when the story and relationship really takes off. She has just been brutally dumped by said boyfriend in New York and needs help and she stumbles on Noah's card and calls him and he is instantly there for her. The sparks just take off from there and the relationship D/s relationship starts to develop. Reva is new to the world of BDSM but Noah helps her navigate. I am not sure how much I was into Noah's kink but it was still hot.
Like all of Ivy Nelson's books you get the mystery and they are action packed as well as steamy and the characters are so well developed. It was a very good book just I felt the end was a bit rushed and I felt like we didn't get closure on some aspects but that might just be a me thing.
The short glimpse we got into the next and final book in the series....OH BOY! I can't wait. Surprise reintroduction of a character from the past.

Reva met Noah the night he got horrific news, supporting him when he had no one else. She was with her boyfriend, Parker, who is Noah's stepson. She knows how it feels to get that awful knock at the door in the late hours of the night by the police, and she relates to Noah in ways that no one else can. Her first impressions upon meeting the sexy older man stay with her, and five years later, her stomach still gets butterflies when she thinks about Noah. He's hotter than her boyfriend and treats her as an equal. They have much in common, such as their schooling and drive to succeed. Noah has certain expectations of his female companions, and he knows that Reva is inexperienced and too young for him, making her off-limits. Never mind that she's his son's girlfriend. Something about her breathes some much-needed life back into him. Just when Reva thinks her life is headed on a straight course, she is handed one surprise after another, upending her carefully constructed plans. Parker is the catalyst that shows Reva who the better man is for her, and it's not the son. Noah will go to the ends of the world to keep Reva safe while learning that you can find love where and when you least expect it.

Put on your kinky boots, Ivy Nelson just kicked it up a notch! The series keeps getting better and better with each book! Just when I thought I knew quite a bit about kinks, Ivy Nelson keeps introducing us to more! If you have triggers, please make sure you read the Author's notes at the beginning of the book before you jump in. If you're not sure about kink, it might be best to start with a different Ivy Nelson book as I thought this one was pretty intense.
This book is sizzling hot. Reva is just starting to explore what she likes and Noah is just the man to show her. Noah and Reva are explosive together. Noah is scared of scaring her away. He's never fully exposed his desires to one woman before. But Reva loves everything he gives her and keeps encouraging him to stop holding back. She's perfect for him. He's exactly what she's been looking for!
I love how in every book, Ivy Nelson always brings in members from her other book or book series, so we get a glimpse of their lives now. I love that she brought in reinforcements, the likes of the Sin City Suits as well as a couple of characters from Club Solitaire to help Noah solve his dilemma.
And the ending!!! :O That last scene was something else! You'll have to read it to find out what the talk is all about!
Thank you Ivy Nelson for this ARC. The above are my own and personal opinions.

One night, while Reva is dating Parker, they are awakened by the police. They need to contact Noah, Parker’s step-dad, to deliver horrendous news. The police suggest Parker come along to offer comfort when they tell him about the brutal death of his Elise. Reva is drawn to him. She finds him attractive, interesting and a bit fascinating.
After five years of dating Parker, on a trip to New York, he decides to propose. When Reva asks for time to think about it, he viciously breaks up with her and calls in his mistress. With no one to help her return home, in desperation after five years, Reva calls Noah. He definitely helps!
Well, DARN!!! Now this book is getting even HOTTER! Noah and Reva have just met at Club Exposure, and they are both seriously attracted to each other. But, Noah is an experienced Dom and so far Reva is a fantasy submissive. How will this work out for them? Will they find a way?
I highly recommend this story that is full of teasing, humiliation, degradation, begging, orgasm control, spit, crawling, dirty language, consensual sex and so much more! Over-all, my mind was entranced, my heart was beating wildly and my soul was totally engulfed by the salacious and erotic interactions between Noah and Reva. Thank you, Ivy Nelson!

Reva meets her boyfriend's father on one of the worst nights of his life. Noah's live-in girlfriend had been found murdered and the police can't get him to answer his door. Reva insists that she and Parker follow the cops to his adopted father's house, knowing whatever they have to tell him is bad. She finds herself drawn to the older man, understanding his grief from her own personal experience. She doesn't see much of Noah over the next five years as Parker is not close to his father. When she gets an unexpected marriage proposal while with Parker in New York, she can't believe he throws her out when she turns him down. She has no choice but to turn to Noah for help getting home and finding a place to live. Her attraction to him unsettles her, but the way he makes her feel is something she knows she has to explore. He tells her they can sign a contract for a month. She will be his submissive and do what he tells her to do during that time. But will a month really be enough for her?
Much more to the story. I liked both Noah and Reva. They make a good couple and Reva gets along famously with the other women of Club Exposure. We even get a little hint about the next book. I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

Welcome back to Club Exposure with another great addition to the series. Club Exposure is an exclusive BDSM club in which we follow not only the owners of the club, but a close knit group of friends as well. Masked is a very well written book full of suspense as well as sexy times behind closed doors and as well as a few scenes in the club, so be warned there may be triggers for some. As for this reader, I found the author to give us a good look into certain kinks without being vulgar (which sadly some BDSM books do in my humble opinion).
The book starts with us meeting Reva when she goes with her boyfriend, Parker, and the police to inform Parker’s stepdad, Noah, of a tragic incident. There seems to be an instant attraction between Noah and Reva, but they both tramp that down for obvious reasons. Fast forward 5 years and the storyline really takes off after Parker and Reva’s relationship goes off the rails. Due to that fact Reva and Noah’s lives start to intertwine and their chemistry heats up bigtime. Especially when it looks like someone is out to hurt Reva.
The book is full of action, suspense and of course hot times. This reader highly recommends all of Ms. Nelson’s Club Exposure books.
2 Thumbs Up and 5+ Stars

I love Ivy Nelson's books because they give you so much more than just a romance. You always get a mystery and adventure full of suspense that the couple experience as they go on their relationship journey. Noah met Reva the first time at a tragic moment in his life, she was kind and caring to him when he needed it the most. 5 years later she is still dating his but things are not what they seem. When a situation happens and she has no one else to call she asks Noah for help. They both are attracted to each other but Noah doesn't want a relationship because it hurts to much to lose someone. This book is fast paced and you see how attracted these two are to each from their first meeting. These characters have so much depth and development that you feel like you truly know them. Noah is a Dom who needs a certain type of submissive and Reva is everything he ever could have dreamed for. Reva is new to submission but she was a natural when it comes to submitting to Noah. I love that we get to see them interact with the rest of the Club Exposure family, Reva fits in perfectly. Can Noah take Gages advice and put his past behind him and give Reva everything she wants. With all the twists and secrets these to go through they each can depend on the other for support. I have loved this whole series but was super excited to finally get Noah's story. I was given this book as an ARC for my honest review.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of "MASKED" I love the Club Exposure series full of scorching hot scenes, this story has emotional turmoil, grief, cheating, suspense, angst, twists that hooks you to the end.
Reva Calhoun has been dating Parker Jasper for awhile she catches him cheating on her with Monica when she refused to marry him he told her to get out.
Reva has Noah Jasper's cared he stepdad to Parker she met him years ago when his longtime girlfriend had been murdered, hoping he'll help her get home from DC where Parker dumped her, which he does & sets her up in a hotel.
Reva gets partime job at Club Exposure Gage Allard gives her a tour she runs into Noah who's friends with Gage both attracted to one another decide to do a 30 day contract to be his submissive & learn to explore her sexual desires.
I definitely recommend to get this well written story I thoroughly enjoyed Noah & Reva's chemistry together, will they get a HEA, will their secrets break them apart, will Parker eventually leave them alone, he's put her life in danger,so much action, it's a fast paced read you can't put down a must read for sure.

Ah, this one.
Where do I start?
They first meet on what is, arguably, the worst night of their respective lives. Noah, having just lost his girlfriend. Reva (who is dating his son at the time), understands his pain better than most, having gone through that herself. She also happens to be an overly cautious woman, yet she can't deny the attraction brewing between herself and Noah.
I love all of Ivy's books, and this one was no exception. I really liked that neither of them acted upon their attraction to each other. Personally, I wouldn't have minded because Parker (Noah's son) was a piece of shit. And the cheating trope really doesn't bother me at all. But once these two got over their own personal hangups about the situation, their chemistry was off the charts. There's a healthy amount of suspense, and some pretty intense kinks in this one.
I loved that Noah didn't seek to control every aspect of Reva's life. He recognized her strengths and intellect and sought to nurture that, even while being a caring and very protective Dom.
That ending though...
As always, read the content and trigger warnings.

This series has been amazing and Noah and Reva have just made it even better. They are off the charts hot, Noah the much older Dom and Reva the ex girlfriend of his son, make for a very different relationship. They have known each other for a number of years and although attracted to each other have not acted on it till now. Noah makes Reva realise she is more than a little interested in exploring "Kinks" she didn't realise she had.
I love the way throughout the series all the characters from previous books are integrated into each others stories and especially the men from Sin City Suits who wander into this tale. Ivy keeps upping the bar with each book and I think this has been my favourite Club Exposure so far. I am now so excited for Gage's story having been left hanging at the end of Masked. You should pick this up and give it a read, I would highly recommend you go back to the beginning of the series. It isn't a must but the stories of the characters you meet in this story are so good you don't want to miss them.

Reva Calhoun first met Noah Jasper the night his girlfriend was murdered five years ago. She and his stepson Parker come to be by his side. Reva and Noah had an instant attraction, but wrong time wrong place and time. Noah has always told Reva if she ever needs anything to call him, after Parker kicked her out of the house, she needs Noah's help. The attraction has grown overtime, but still Noah is holding off he doesn't want a committed relationship it's too hard to lose them when it's over, and they always walk away from and break his heart. I love how this relationship progresses Noah is a dominate, a dominate who wants a thirty-day contract and then they both walk away, right as planned? Once Neva life is in danger Noah becomes a very protective man and wants her safe at all costs. A great story with the three characters interacting Noah, Reva and Parker with a few twists and turns as lies, deception and betrayal are revealed. It's always nice to revisit old friends from Club Exposure too. I have read and reviewed this amazing story!

The main characters are complicated and messy when relationships reverse.
I couldn’t put this book down. It has a messy breakup and a complicated attraction to a not so new someone.
There’s plenty of sex, BDSM, and kinks that may hold triggers for many. Degradation, spit, slapping, etc.
I found it most fascinating that we all wear multiple masks. We interact differently towards family compared to partners, coworkers, even when in public socializing. These masks allow us to adapt to the situation at hand and I never really understood this until I read this book.
Highly recommend for the twists and turns, the intrigue and very hot sex scenes acted out. The cast of characters are rich with substance and each has his or her own dilemmas.
This book was a fast read laying the ground work to a story I can’t wait to read. I highly recommend this series if you enjoy mafia, hit men , and romance with twists and turns.
Happy Reading📖🌻.

Excellent Age-Gap Forbidden Romance
Starting with Book 1 I fell in love with Ivy Nelson’s “Club Exposure” series and this installment certain did not disappoint me. Reva Calhoun met Noah Jasper met five years ago when tragedy struck his life so much like the tragedy that changed her life six years ago. He may be her boyfriend’s stepfather, but nothing about Noah makes her think of him as an old man. If anything, he screams sex and danger. She has to get out of his home before her thoughts get entirely too inappropriate. Five years later she needs his help. Neither of them are able to resist their attraction now. This is an exceptional well written steamy romance loaded with emotion, deception, contracts, suspense and danger. I especially enjoyed seeing characters from previous books in this series and also a few from the “Sin City Suits” series. AT the end I loved the hints as to what is to come in Book 6 about Gage.
I received an ARC of this book from the author in return for voluntarily writing an honest review.

I love this author. Her attention to detail in BDSM is right on. This is a dark romantic suspense. It is full of mystery and action. I was captivated from start to finish. You won't be able to put it down.
Noah had lost his girlfriend and submissive. Years go by and he throws himself into his work. Out of the blue, he gets a phone call from his son’s girlfriend. Apparently Parker has kicked her out. Noah helps her get back to DC and puts her up in a hotel until she can find a place. One thing leads to another and they find themselves in bed. But Noah’s tastes are on the kinky side and he's afraid he will scare her off.
Reva has been dating Parker for five years. After she turned down his proposal, he kicked her out of the hotel with no place to go. After careful consideration, she calls Parker’s adoptive dad. After all, he had given her his business card and told her to call if she ever needed anything. But calling him was dangerous because she was attracted to him. Now she has a chance to spend the next thirty days with him and play out her fantasies.

Five years ago, Reva Calhoun met her boyfriend's father, Noah Jasper, the morning after he found out his long-term girlfriend had been brutally murdered. After refusing his proposal, the son kicks her out onto the street in another city. Reva’s only hope is to contact his father, Noah, hope he remembers her, and ask for his help. Both will get more than they could imagine after admitting their mutual attraction, realizing that she does not mind his brand of kink, they will embark on a satisfying if somewhat unconventional relationship.
These are all well written, compelling, and unique characters. I found the interactions between Noah and Reva utterly fascinating at times and distasteful at best, at other times, I’m not judging their kinks, but eeww! Some suspense, BDSM with some unusual kinks, sizzling hot and carnal romance with some unexpected twists. A must-read book and series that I highly recommend to fans of this author and genre.

Another great book by Ivy Nelson! Reva meets her boyfriend's dad, Noah five years prior at a bad time in Noah's life. Five years forward, Noah's son leaves Reva in NYC alone, no money, no hotel, and Reva calls Noah because she had no one else to call. That starts the beginning of the two exploring their feelings and a beautifully written romance. Normally ex-boyfriend's dad stories turn me off, however, this one was done in a way that kept me reading, especially as she met Noah when she was an adult. Filthy kink is not my thing, but it wasn't the central part of the story and didn't detract from the suspense and type of writing that I love about Ivy Nelson.
I had not read anything from Club Exposure, but I didn't feel too lost when they introduced others from previous books. There were appearances and references from two other series, both of which I have read and enjoyed seeing the couples appear and help Reva and Noal.
I received and ARC for my honest opinion.

This is the fifth book in the Club Exposure series, and it does not disappoint. There is Reva Calhoun who is dating Parker Jasper. When Parker gets a call from the police looking for his stepfather and they convince him to go with them as they have bad news for his stepdad. Reva goes along with him and that is when she meets Noah. There is an immediate attraction though it is under less that good circumstances. Parker is somewhat estranged from his adopted father. When his mother broke up with Noah, she turned him against him. Fast forward five years and they meet again, this time it is Reva who needs the assistance when Parker kicks her out because she refused his marriage proposal. Noah comes through for her and it is the start of an interesting adventure and unconventional relationship. Will they care what others think? or pursue what could be something great? Good read.

Ms Ivy has done it again. I really like how this author keeps it simple while creating some complicated scenarios. Noah might be my favourite Dom in this series but he is intense and his brand of kink would not be for everyone. Reva and Noah meet under difficult circumstances and they see each other off and on over five years but the time is not right for them. When their time finally comes there is a huge complication standing in the way of their relationship but they are made for each other. Noah is like a chameleon with two completely different demeanours that one would initially think cannot exist in one man but they do. Reva is the balance with her gentle spirit that that craves what Noah has to offer. This author has created her best pairing here. These two characters fit! Well done Ivy Nelson. I received this book as a member of the ARC team in exchange for an HONEST review and this is honest. This one hit all the feels and is the best in series.

Eventhough they meet the night Noah finds out his girlfriend has been murdered and Reva is seeing his son, they share a moment together that makes it feel like there could be something more between them. I loved how he went above and beyond to ne her white knight when needed.
I love getting to see an outsider join the group. So accepting and willing to thrown down to protect their own, which now includes Reva.
The mystery and danger was slightly different in this story. I loved how it started off slowly. As Parker acts out, the question becomes is it really to get Reva back or something else driving him.
All the great steamy pieces we love. Noah has strict rules about his relationships and does his best to keep the true him hidden. Reva may just be the one to get him to remove his mask.

SO GOOD!
I have loved this series from the beginning and Noah has had my heart for a while. This is his story. 5 years after his beloved sub this story takes place. Noah has been closed off and absent from the club for quite a bit but he's back and so is his adopted son's ex GF. Treated badly Reva has no choice but to ask Noah for help when his son abandons her in New York giving her just days to vacate their apartment. Noah to the rescue. There has always been something between them some kind of chemistry that they both avoided. Is now the time to explore it or will his son continue to stand in their way. I love the characters from this series taking a strong supporting role as well as cameo appearances by the group from Sin City Suits. Can't wait for the next book.

Masked
Noah had my heart from the very beginning. The more I read the more awesome he got. He is like two different people because he is seriously dirty, kinky but on the flip side, he is sweet, protective, respectful and loving. The dichotomy is written so well.
Reva is young and at first comes across as naive and innocent. She is really sweet and kind. When she gets into Noah’s kink, I could see how incredibly strong she is. Again, a well written character.
Noah and Reva have many conversations about respect and consent. It was amazing to see how much Noah revered Reva and respected her. How much she learned to trust him and respect herself. Their relationship is strong and endearing.
Loved the story. Loved the writing. I found the kink a little difficult to read but in the end it was all good.

A great read. I loved the main characters.
Reva first met Noah when her boyfriend was asked by police to help them contact him after his girlfriend was murdered. She understood what it was like to receive news like that and she helped him cope. He gave her his contact details and told her that she could call him if she ever needed help. Five years later Reva is still in a relationship with Noah's son, until Parker suddenly proposes and she turns him down. She goes back to their hotel room to find that Parker has changed the key code and moved another woman in. Stranded in New York with no money she calls Noah. Noah arrives to rescue her and offers her a flat she can use.
They start to develop a relationship and Noah introduces Reva to BDSM. Can they help each other recover from their pasts?

One of the most enjoyable stories of Ivy Nelson that I have read. The story has two wonderful main characters, Reva, a young graduate student studying psychology and sexuality, and Jasper, a wealthy man about 20 years older than her, and the adopted father of her previous boyfriend. They met 5 years earlier,and meet again when the boyfriend dumps her and she turns to Jasper for assistance. A relationship develops quickly that includes some pretty creative BDSM activities that are pursued with enthusiasm by both of them. There is also an interesting mystery involved, kidnapping, some threatened violence, and some interesting supporting characters. Both Reba and Jasper are very intelligent and express themselves well as the emotional part of the relationship develops between them.

A complex story and it's fabulous! Got me from the first page, how could these two folks ever get together if someone else is in the way. I say that kind of in a ugh kind of way, that person is really not a nice person, the more you read about them you wonder how they are ever together. Its a complicated relationship and some might not approve, but it's not about other people, is it? It's only about the two people in that relationship. This book really made this clear. Noah was definitely dirty, but to each their own and in Reva, he's found the perfect partner, pretty vs dirty. The more you read into the story, the deeper the plot thickens. I absolutely fan-girled when the Vegas connection came into play. The family concept, once you are in, you are in!
