Going Down
He was a confident man, subtly commanding, too. Would he be like that as a lover? Yes, I just knew he'd be masterful.
Jennifer hoped she'd meet someone during her six-month stay in Paris, but she didn't expect to find a captivating man like her neighbor Armand Lazare on her very first day. From their initial encounter in their building's antique elevator, he makes her feel wanton, excited and unexpectedly aroused by the way he takes control. But as much as this new desire unnerves Jennifer, she's even more eager to explore it -- with Armand as her master.

This story is perfect for those who just want a quickie. It's half back-story and half sex, so basically the perfect formula! lol Armand is one hot yummy alpha with a bdsm streak.
I gave it 3 stars, because for some reason, the sex scenes, though hot, felt emotionally disconnected to me. But overall, it was still an okay read.

Going Down
I have to say that this was a story that caught my attention from the very beginning and then left me a little lost, I enjoyed the chase and maybe i was hoping for a little more of that before it felt like all the sex, lust, rock and roll where crammed into the last few pages, i wanted the story to carry on a little more, stretch out the period in which all the excitement went on for, no so much the time frame in which it was set but a few more pages to give us a little more detail on the goings on rather that the 'in and out' if you like.
I'll be sure to check out Saskia Walker's work in future but wouldn't recommend this story for those that don't like to be left hanging.

Story: 3.5 (i needed more information between the sex)
Characters: 4.5 (i didn't feel a connection to Armand)
Cover: N/A (it was part of a 6 story book so no cover was offered)

I guess it is unrealistic to expect anything in the way of character development in a <50 page short story, but it was completely lacking in Armand. That is one thing that makes Jennie's submission to him during her first visit to his apartment, along with her declaration of "trust" after knowing him just a few days, disturbing to the degree that it limits enjoyment of the steamy scenes that follow.

Well I liked Armand and Jennifer. The obviously had a heated connection from the first time they layed eyes on one another. I do wish that I could have got into the characters a bit more. Just when it seemed to get really interesting it ended.

Loved this little quick read. The only thing I want to know now is did they get a new painting?!?!?
