Hers

Hers #1

by Dawn Robertson

I am weak.
I am lonely.
I am a slut.
I am strong.
I am Dominant.
I am independent.
I am Seven James.

My entire life, no one has wanted me, and that was fine, because I sure as shit didn't need anyone else. Blah, Blah Blah, insert sad story here about negligent parents, and shitty siblings, and you have my life story in a nut shell. When my college boyfriend dumped me, it was just icing on the cake. Five years, and a booming career later I am here to collect my revenge.

That was until a delicious plaything walked into the kink club I frequent, and rocked my typically un-rockable world. Causing me to break the one rule I have lived by since Daniel Alexander walked out of my life, never have sex with the same person twice. Ever.

Warning!!!! Hers contains sexually explicit situations that may be uncomfortable for some. These include FF, FMF, and MFM interactions.

5 outstanding, sexy, fucking brilliant, stars!!!

I am weak.
I am lonely.
I am a slut.
I am strong.
I am Dominant.
I am independent.
I am Seven James.

As soon as I read the following I had to have this book. It fucking sucked me in, and hooked me till I finished the book like my life depended on it. It was fucking unreal. Seven, is a bad ass bitch. And I mean that down to my wet panties from reading this book. The only negative thing I can say about it is that I read it too damn fast. Why didn't I take my time on it? It's impossbile for me to read it any slower. I had to know what was going on in that head of hers. Now that it is over I am seating here thinking FUCK now what am I going to do. My review is not going to make this book justice for what it deserves any way shape or form. I love this book. Seven, is probably my favorite character that I have read in a long time. She is strong, brutally honest, very blunt, out going, dominant, sexy, has tattoos, bad ass in the board room, and sexy as fuck in the bed room.

OMG the sex in this book is extremely sexy and HOT taking panties and changing them, HOT. It will get you all hot and bothered.



"Deuces"

Seven, has had almost every single person she has loved and cared about fuck her over one time or another. Ex-boyfriend dumped her because she is not the forever type of girl. Not the kind that you bring her home to meet your parents. BAM he fucked her over and now she wants her revenge. check

Star, Seven's best friend. Has been her best friend since they were kids. They are like sisters, but they are also fuck buddies from now and again. Star, has fucked Seven over a time or two. But regardless she always sticks with Star. She loves Star more than anyone she has ever loved. check

Then there is Seven's past. Her parents are some type of hippies who really never wanted her in the first place, they never showed her the love that one should show to their child. Then there is also her brother Blue, who makes it known all the time in her past that she is not welcomed, no one will ever love her and want her. This has taken Seven, to believe very deeply that she is not wanted. Who would want this broken girl with scars, tattoos that is not lovable? check, check.

That is until she meets the fresh meat at her local kink club where she is Mistress Marilyn. "Never fuck the same person twice" That is what she does. She fucks anything that walks, male or female. But, Levi is fresh meat. Someone who she wants to bring back to her pent house and fuck and do whatever she wants to with, without no strings attached. Fuck him and get him out.

Well they sure do fuck and OMG it was so good!!!

And there you have it folks - a fucking Seven sandwich.

Now back to the revenge. Seven just bought out Alexander Mobile from her ex (Daniel's) father. She now owns the company and wants to rip it away from Daniel who is suppose to inherit from his father when he retires. Now she is in control!!!! Fucking love it. She rips these men from their balls and feeds it to them. She is a fucking bad ass in this board room and does not take any shit from any of them.

Seven, still can not get Levi out of her head from their sexy sex night a couple of days ago. And of course who is part of the board members? Of course Levi.

This takes it onto a different level since there was no way that Seven wanted to see him again. Yes he got to her but there is no way are they going to fuck again..... MAYBE!!!

Levi is like a drug I just can't get enough of. I want to overdose on him until I fall into a sex-induced coma, only coming back to life once he is fully out of my system, and I am once again safe. I know I should't make a move but his show has me beyond horny. I am at needs to fuck def-con three-thousand.

Goodness I can not express how much I loved this book. That is all the info I will be giving you on this book. It was amazing and will always stick with me. How can it not. It is something different. I am so glad the author did something different. I don't know about everyone else, but I am getting so tired of reading about the hot millionaire, sexy, alpha male who gets the girl. Nope not in this book. I love that it is a female that is in control. Yes in some ways she is weak, but not that much. She is a fucking beast. GOD I love her.

So thank you so much Dawn for giving us this amazing book and allowing me to read it.

3.5 KINKY stars!!!



I listened to the audio book of Hers and holy hell! It was crazy, kinky, smutty and hot! If I am rating on the heat, I would say a solid 4.5-5 stars. The story however was closer to a 3-3.5 for me.

Seven James is a lot of things...



When the story starts, Seven’s main focus is revenge. She has a plan to get back at a person who did her wrong years ago. An ex. She’s getting revenge in the best way she knows how. As a corporate powerhouse, she’s going to mess with the mans job. That is her focus. Until she meets someone who changes things for her.

It took me a little while to get into the book, I think Seven being such a powerful force in the corporate world at such a young age threw me off. Then I met Levi... the more I read about him, the more I really got into it- I was dying to see what happened. For me, I wanted a different ending. It seemed a little too predictable. Although a part of me liked the ending a lot I felt like it wasn’t really Seven to get married and have a baby etc. That is the normal ending for romance type books. I wanted something different..



When reading Hers, be prepared to get all hot and bothered. I’m talking threesomes, strap-ons, sex clubs, and all kinds of fun stuff. Levi and Seven were both strong characters. I especially loved Levi. He was sweet and patient with Seven, but also tough when she needed that.

Overall, this was a good read. If you’re looking for an easy read thats kinky as hell with a badass heroine and a great hero, pick it up.

[Debra · Rating 3 out of 5]

Maybe this was a case of...

...but I just couldn't really get into this book.

Maybe my expectations were too high or maybe it was just the wrong book at the wrong time; this being that I'd just finished some pretty amazing novels and this one just didn't live up to them.

Seven was a cool, badass heroine and definitely not your typical female lead. But I found that her "tough as nails" personality was a bit too exaggerated for me to be realistic which made it hard for me to connect with her character and understand her reasoning.

I loved Levi! He was the perfect male lead, sweet, patient, very understanding but he was also hot and had a "little" kinky side.

Overall, it was still an okay read with some 4 star-worthy scenes and a HEA, no cliffhanger but after a while it became a little predictable and despite what I was hoping for, it just didn't blow me away.

3 STARS.

3.75 Stars



Dawn Robertson’s debut novel was a short and sexy read.

There were some errors scattered through out this story and one or two events that were on the cliche-ish side for me. However, the author’s ability to write kinky sex scenes, humorous dialogue and a fast paced story made it worth the read for me. The story line was pretty interesting as well. (Please read synopsis to see the various sexual situations which are presented in this story.)

Seven James the main character is pretty kick ass. She not only ran things in the bedroom but her boardroom scenes were pretty fantastic. She has a f/f relationship with her childhood best friend. I found the dynamics of this relationship to be pretty interesting. Seven’s family sucks, and her college boyfriend, Daniel delivers the final blow to the trusting and happily ever after side of our main character.

”Seven, you aren’t a forever kind of girl.”

Seven is a successful business woman, who is hell bent on REVENGE. We get to enjoy how skillfully she crushes her ex. Seven has given up on heas. She frequents a sex club as “Mistress Marilyn” and has a large sexual appetite. Seven plays by her own set of rules until Levi Parker.

Levi Parker meets Seven at the sex club and they are HOT together.

”Was it the fact that I think he is sexy as sin, or maybe the fact that he is just fresh meat? I can’t decide.”

Circumstances bring Levi Parker into Seven’s orbit. I enjoyed how the author executed this series of events, because it was pretty funny and exciting.

I absolutely LOVED how Seven and Levi slowly became more to one another. Levi Parker was a terrific character and pretty darn sexy.

“You know what I love?" he asks me, as I move closer to his mouth, leaving room so we don't touch. "What?" I breathed out. "The way that you come to me, without a single word or command. Like you are mine for the fucking taking. I always thought I would be the one belonging to you.”

If you are looking for a fast, sexy read give this one a shot!



As Seven says: “Deuces Baby.”

I am Seven James.

Seven James is not your ordinary girl, nope she is out for revenge and fun. The only stings she likes around her are her corsets and the only one she lets in her bed more than once is her best friend, Star. It’s not like their an item, they just know what to do to please each other, sometimes taking others with them, but no matter who is in the bed with them, Seven is always in control. At the club, Sinner and Swingers, she is known as Mistress Marilyn, no one knows her real name and no one would ever guess she is the powerhouse-business-woman who just landed the biggest buyout of her career, all so she can ruin the life of her ex. The night she celebrates, she sets her sites on the newbie at the club inviting him to her home

“I am not some hookup you can have your way with. In fact, it is quite the opposite, my love. You will submit to me tonight, or you will walk in that elevator, and out of my building now. Do you understand?”

But moment Seven takes the head seat in the board meeting she comes face to face with the one man who she turned away after the best sex of her life. This added complication is not what she needs right now, but every step she makes Levi is right there tempting her

Levi is like a drug I just can't get enough of. I want to overdose on him until I fall into a sex-induced coma, only coming back to life once he is fully out of my system, and I am once again safe.

Levi begins to show Seven how freeing it is to give up control, he may have his kinks but he knows how to be in control as well. Little by little he breaks though the walls Seven’s built up and shows her how freeing it is to give up control but that a woman like her deserves to be loved and adored.

“The way that you come to me, without a single word or command. Like you are mine for the fucking taking; I always thought I would be the one belonging to you.”

This was a HOT little read, that I really enjoyed, there never was a dull moment in the life of Seven James. The person she started out compared to who she was in the end was not completely different, just a defrosted version. I had my doubts of Levi, when we first met him, he was on the sub side, but I was happy to see he was a switch. No major BDSM in this book, it was all about control, power exchange. One thing is for sure, I am super excited about the next book, Finding Willow, I wanna see Star get her HEA.

[Wendy'sThoughts · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well, I wrote a review but somehow it got lost here at goodreads.

The moral of my story is to write it in word and then transfer.

The moral of this story for me was basically we are all products of our parental environments and the love given to us as children. If we are told repeatedly we are worthless, never will amount to anything and were never wanted then that person has huge odds to overcome.
How an adult handles these obstacles and their desire to change is the story.

There was a lot of witty dialogue in the first part of the book.
Lots of sex ( steamy, a little kinky) and revenge with a surprise love story added.
Ground work laid for secondary characters' own book.

It was fun at first, slowed down a bit and then ended ok.

I wish you could have read my other review..... lesson learned.

[DKristin · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm not going to waste too much time on this. If you saw my status updates you know how I feel. Firstly, it ended at the 90% mark the rest of the book is previews and what not, be warned!!! It was different and good for the first part of the book. Especially the strap-on action . That is usually not something you see even when the female character is dominant.

At some point though it just started to get really pedestrian. I've read this story a million times already, and I was really disappointed about it. There was so much potential with a character like Seven. I don't know what I was expecting but I guess I just thought it would have more originality. I liked Levi a lot. Daniel was just strange to have such massive swings from one direction to another. I just don't see his pansy pampered ass stooping to that level, and to mention that he has a Mom with mental health issues and not being surprised that the apple didn't fall far from the tree just seemed like a low blow and an inadequate way to explain why he decided to go into left field so late in the game. Seven's supposed "fucked up"-ness and issues read like a stereotypical uninformed persons view of PTSD!!! With absolutely no clear and valid antecedent!!! I absolutely guessed that Star was a pornstar it made sense but what didn't make sense with that kind of career and not having any real family or anything the "blackmail" that Blue laid on her seemed absolutely ridiculous!!! If he told anyone she had a baby who would give a shit?!? Also, he was a grown ass man fucking a teenager... I'm pretty sure if he said anything his ass would have been in jail! It just didn't make sense at all! I think this story had a really good beginning and premise and could have been a lot more than it was! I wouldn't recommend it for the top of your reading list but I think a lot of people will like it and won't be as persnickety as I am in regards to some of the details.

Kinky - me likey.



If you need some kinky and sexy lovin’ Hers is a book for you. It’s incredibly hot and out of this world perverted read for every fan of some great erotica. I was turn on more times that I could count and enjoyed immensely the main character, Seven and her ‘free spirit’.

3.5 Stars!

Well that was.....

Interesting
Kinky
Different
Eye-Opening
HOT
Funny
Over-the-Top

As well as a bit inconsistent and contradictory and a bit cliche. Not to mention in need of an editor STAT!!

Case in point:
"I am a gluten for punishment when it comes to dangerous men."

There were several like that-that actually made me LOL!

Overall, this story definitely had potential. It was different then anything I've read lately. Seven, the heroine was a badass. She was funny. The story begins with her being dumped by her long-time boyfriend. Which was



So...Seven does what any normal, self-respecting person would do....



While out celebrating said revenge, Seven meets Levi at her kink club. IDK, I didn't really get Levi's kink and what brought him to the club to begin with. I think I needed more back story on him, but whatevs.

So Levi and Seven share a HOT steamy, kinky night together. But Seven never sleeps with someone more than once. She has all of these rules...so she sends Levi a packin'. The following morning she gets the surprise of her life....did anyone else see that coming? Because I totally did.

Anywho, so now for the first time ever Seven's "never sleep with the same guy more than once" rule is in jeopardy. I wasn't a fan of the Star/Willow storyline but I guess that was just to set up the next book. I also wasn't a fan of the attempted rape by Daniel.

And I most definitely was not a fan of the pregnancy!!! How is that EVERY ONE GETS PREGNANT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE SEX WITHOUT A CONDOM??? I mean the odds are NOT. THAT. GOOD.

Queue the eye rolling.....

Anyway, that aside...this was a HOT read. A bit on the kinky side...some f/f action.....a m/f/m scene. It was a decent read...just needs some polishing...an editor and some beta readers. With a little help, this could have been a 4/5 star read for me.

[I ♥ Bookie Nookie (bookienookiereviews.blogspot.com) · Rating 4 out of 5]

That’s right! My name is motherfucking Seven James, bitches! No one ever gave me anything and I’ve never asked for what I want; I take it! I demand respect and I don’t apologize for being a slut. My family sucks. I only have one true friend in the world and that is questionable at times. I never fuck the same man twice and if you can’t get down with a threesome with my BFF, then keep on steppin’!

And THAT is Seven James, well, that WAS Seven James until one of her little playthings turned into something else entirely. His name’s Levi Parker and he’s a whole lot more than just a “little plaything” to be cast aside because of some stupid rules.

Levi Parker. Holy. Fucking. Shit. My heart skips a beat, and I see my career falling apart before my eyes. The guy I fucked two nights ago, up the goddamn ass with a strap-on, is one of my new fucking board members. I. Am. So. Fucked. So fucked. So beyond fucked.

My nerves are on fire, and I do everything I can not to flip the fuck out in front of these men who should be fearing me.

Levi is willing to indulge her need to dominate as long as it’s him she’s dominating. He is a master at ninja mindfuckery when it comes to Seven and although it takes her a minute to realize it, she’s on to him and very aware of her predicament. Even though his existence in her life goes against every rule and boundary she has ever set for herself, she can’t refrain.

Should I play into this little game we have going on here? A very fucking dangerous game for both of us.

I just can't help it, because whether or not I want to admit it, I think I just met my fucking match.

Seven James has always been in full control, so why would she think things would be any different now? Clue #1: The no strings attached, one-night stand ended up being a company board member. Clue #2: The uncontrollable desire to indulge in more of that “little plaything’s” brand of loving.

My name is Seven James, and I am the unwanted child of two hippy nomads. The little sister of an asshole brother who reminded me every day of my life that nobody has ever, or will ever, want me. . . . No one has ever wanted me. I have never wanted anyone. I use sex to cope with the emptiness in my life. I’m a whore. . . . I am broken. I am emotionally void. . . . That is me. That is who Seven James is. Is that who you want?

YES!! SEVEN JAMES! YOU ARE A WANTED WOMAN!

Author Dawn Robertson did an excellent job of serving up the tough as nails heroine who just needed the right man to break her. The follow-up book, FINDING WILLOW is due out sometime next year. The great news is that there is no cliffhanger to worry about in HERS, so go forth dear readers and indulge yourself in some naughty fun.

Meet Seven James


The child of hippy parents. Seven has always felt unwanted. Even her childhood sweetheart Daniel Alexander casts her a side for a trophy girlfriend..


“You are nothing more than a good fuck, and a warm body.” He should have just carved my heart right out of my chest at that moment. “Seven, you aren't a forever kind of girl.”

Determined to succeed in life and to final take revenge on Daniel for breaking her heart, she gets herself through college and works her way up until she finally has the chance to buy out Alexander Mobiles ..Daniel Alexander fathers company...



Off to celebrate at the kinky...Sinners and Swingers, she spots Levi Parker looking totally out of place...

“I have to ask you, Levi. What are you doing in a place like this?” His eyes widen, as if he wasn't expecting the question.
Levi tells her he's looking for something different...


Seven invites him back to her penthouse, for a one night only!!!


When we are done with you tonight, you leave. No questions asked. No phone numbers exchanged. No sleepovers. Like I said in number three, no strings attached. Just for fun. Get it?”

Yes he gets it...

A few days later she presents herself to the board..of her new company and can't wait to see Daniels face when she announces herself as the new owner...

There looking up she sees.......

“The guy I fucked two nights ago, up the goddamn ass with a strap-on, is one of my new fucking board members. I. Am. So. Fucked. So fucked. So beyond fucked.”

This story is funny, witty and hot.
Love Seven, she is strong and in control, she knows what she wants and won't take any nonsense but deep down she is the insecure girl who has felt rejected and unloved all her life.
Is this the real Seven or is it all a front?
Then theirs her best friend Star they have a very special friendship with each other..

Seven is in control in both the boardroom and bedroom....Will she get her revenge and Levi..where does he stand in all this..
A little bit predictable at times but who cares... It was a very, very enjoyable read.

Yes I loved it!!!....girl power

[Thedarkerhalf · Rating 1 out of 5]

Lately it’s like every other book I read is getting a low star review. I figure it’s because I have been reviewing a lot of first time authors lately who are still trying to find their voice. I was planning to review Hers by Dawn Robertson as a first time author and give her the same benefit I give all my first time authors, a little leeway. That was until I got halfway through and realize that I had heard this voice before.

I am not here trying to warn you about plagiarism, from what I can tell this is an original piece of fiction, be it a poorly written one. I’m talking about the fact that I have read and been disappointed by this writer before. I say writer now, because honestly an author has to tell a story and this wasn’t a story, this was a poorly put together, shabbily edited group of sentences strung together. I work hard for my money and you should work hard writing if you expect me to pay for your work. So you can understand why I was upset to learn that this writer is parading herself around to be new to the scene misrepresenting herself as someone you’ve never read before. Well, I have read her, and been let down by her both times. If I had seen this book on Amazon and it had the correct author attached to it I wouldn’t have bought it, but I was swindled!

This book fails in my eyes where all of the writer’s books fail. Consistency, plain and simple. Right in the beginning Seven talks about how deep her and Daniel’s love is and how perfect they are together. Three paragraphs later they break up and she jumps both feet into the deep end of the psycho pool. The break up would be a great catalyst for the rest of the story and how Seven became a Dom. Real people don’t react like that from one extreme to the other and if they do they need to be medicated. Once again though this writer falls short of the mark by hinting at back-story that is never discussed, I shouldn’t be surprised this is the third time this writer has taken a potentially awesome characters, an interesting plot line and some substance to the story and sh*t the bed with them.

Unfortunately the only thing that might be considered endearing, real or promising was the sex scenes and even they fall short. Have read amazing erotica with plot, and that is where this writer loses me, eventually I like a little bit of story with my sex but it felt like she was hoping that the steamy parts would mask the fact that there is no real book here.

If you are like me and trying to avoid Danielle Elwood and the disappointment she brings you should probably steer clear of “Dawn Robertson”. I have no problem with pen names. I have a huge problem with indie authors who start under a new pen name to get away from their own bad press but don’t actually do anything to better their writing so we the poor unsuspecting readers get swindled out of our hard earned money thinking we are reading someone new. There is nothing new to review here other then the names being hanged. Same ball dropped on the plot, character development and editing skills we’ve come to expect from Danielle.

**** 3 1/2 Kinky Stars ****

I'm a bit confused about my feelings on this book.  In the beginning, I was wondering where the storyline was heading but enjoying the role of Mistress Marilyn with the fetish for sexy undies but then it switched gears and there was more story and almost non-existent kink.  The book actually turned into a bit of a sappy romance.  There is one romantic scene that was set in the London Ferris Wheel that had me squirming in my seat and swooning at the same time!

I wanted more BDSM play between Levi and Seven - the author has a way of making these sex scenes panty dripping wet!!  Man oh man....I just wish there would have been more of this throughout the book.



I understand the story line was to make Seven give up her sluttish ways and start the "Happily Ever After" lifestyle but I just think it was too much of a cliche and was hoping for something a little bit different.

Seven, years ago was dumped by her boyfriend and she made a pact with herself to get revenge on him.  She worked her way up to take over his father's company and in the process she shut any man out of her life.  She lives a life as a dominatrix - never sleeping with the same man twice.  She has been abandoned throughout life by her parents, her best friend, her brother and her boyfriend.  This is what drives her to be a "control freak" in order never to get hurt again.



That is until she meets Levi and the sex club she belongs to.  One night of mind blowing, fuckingtastic BDSM play has Levi hooked and he automatically wants more.  Seven has other plans (even though she can't stop thinking about him) and what does fate throw in her life?  Yup, that bitch throws Levi back into her life in which she has to see him on a daily basis.



So what happens to Levi and Seven?

Does Seven get her revenge against the ex-boyfriend Daniel?

You have to read in order to get those questions answered!!

Oh lordy. Where to start.

First. This book needs MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR editing.

Continuing on- this book had tons of potential, but fell flat on its face. I WANTED to like Seven and connect with her. I WANTED to like Levi. But I just didn't. I don't feel as if we ever got a real connection established between us (the readers) and the characters. Nor did I really feel the connection (other than sex) between Seven and Levi.

It doesn't help that we are told so many little things about the past, things that are supposed to have shaped the people we see in the future, but we never get any real explanations for present behavior. Cause quite honestly, the few things we are told- in the way they are described- doesn't seem like a big deal AT ALL to me.

I'd LOVE to know where Levi's kink comes from. But again, we're offered no explanation AT ALL as to why he likes what he likes. And for me, given what he likes, is a pretty big deal.

I WILL say- the sexy times were hot hot hot! But that's the ONLY positive thing I can say. I honestly feel that if the author had put as much effort into the book as a WHOLE as she did into the sexy scenes it could have been a million times better.

Lastly- WTF is THAT ending? I can't call it a cliffhanger, I can't call it a fade to black ending, I can't even call it a HEA. Why? Because it. Just. Stops. Literally. I felt like I was in the middle of a VERY PIVOTAL scene between Seven & Levi and BAM. Door is shut. Book is over. Come again next time and read about Star and Willow?? (No thanks on that one by the way- I could care less about Star and Willow) FOR REAL! I'm not a happy camper.

Final thoughts- If I were you (and you haven't already read this) I wouldn't waste my time. There's far better books out there. Unless all you want to do is skip to the sexy parts- then go ahead and read. We get everything from F/F, F/M/F , M/F/M and F/M here!

A scorching hot, panty wetting read!!


I am weak.
I am lonely.
I am a slut.
I am strong.
I am Dominant.
I am independent.
I am Seven James.

"Sinners" and Swingers" isn't your typical bar, people here know me as "Mistress Marilyn, not "Seven."



Her eyes encounter a guy, he is new, he turns and she catches sight of the most intense and beautiful blue eyes she had ever encountered..She catches the new mysterious stranger staring, they make eye contact only for a brief moment..Not once did he break her gaze as she makes her way towards him..



"Your new here I say to him? I extend my arm in greeting, "Mistress Marilyn, love."

"Nice to meet you, Mistress Marilyn, I'm Levi."

"If your up for a little fun I will be over there with a couple of friends."

"I have to ask you Levi, what are you doing in a place like this?"

He leans close and whispers in my ear, "I have needs, new found kink, that I need, in my sex life, all woman I have been with aren't into it, so, here I am."

"That right there is my best friend, if you play your cards right, tonight, you can have both of us."

"If you choose to come home with us there are a couple of rules, first protection, condoms are a must, two, if you are afraid of strap-on's walk away now, third, this is a one time thing, no strings, no attachments of any kind, what goes on behind that closed door is private, when we are done for the night, you leave."

At this point her friend says that she's just not feeling it and is going to skip out on them tonight.

So after explaining the change of plans to Levi, it is up to him whether he takes his leave for stays..

"Submit to me tonight, or you will walk in that elevator, and out of my building.Do you understand?"

Nodding his head yes, he slides to the floor and kneels at her feet..



It gets scorching hot here on in so I'm going to skip what happens, but believe me you'll want to purchase this book and read what goes on behind closed doors!!

Two days go by, during a take over of a business enterprise: "Board members, I would like you to meet your new boss, this is Ms James."

"Good morning, gentlemen, it is nice to meet you all, why don't you all take a moment to introduce yourselves?"

The men start to sound off like a prison roll call..

"Levi Parker."

HOLY! FUCKING! SHIT!

The guy I fucked two nights ago is one of my new fucking board members..

I..AM..SO..FUCKED..SO BEYOND FUCKED..

And that is where I am going to stop, go grab your copy now and see what happens with these two!! But be warned, get ready for a hot ride of your life!! This book packs some hot punches!!

Can't wait for the next book!! I really can't believe I waited this long to read this!!

Holy Hell...need a cold shower...and compose my very dirty thoughts...damn. Review to COME...



**FULL REVIEW**

“Out of all the hookups in my life, and fucking believe me, there have been plenty, something like this has never happened. Ever. Work and play have never crossed paths, and honestly, I never thought I’d see the day when they did.”

Seven James is one bad-ass chick. She doesn’t take ish from anyone, especially men. Having the background she does, and her one failed attempt at love are just the beginning of why she is emotionally unavailable. Sex is good. Sex is really good. Intimacy and love…so bad. The only thing intimacy and love lead to is heartache…and revenge.

Seven:



Revenge is exactly what Seven is aiming for when she takes over Alexander Mobile. Daniel Alexander is the one and only person she has ever given her heart to, and he broke it. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned…and being dumped for her polar opposite in a woman after being told over and over that she herself is not good enough. Yeah, that’s enough to harden any heart. So, she does what any woman in her position does; she takes over his company. What Seven did not anticipate when she walked into the boardroom was a man she not only knew, but hoped to never see again…

Hello Levi Parker.



“When there is something I want, I get it. And I want you. I want you all the time. I want what we had Wednesday night. I want more. And I will get it.”



Levi plays hardball. Unfortunately, Seven plays harder. Now it’s just a matter of time to see who caves first…or who finds out. Work relationships are a big NO-NO, but there is just something about Levi that has Seven’s walls crumbling. No matter what she does, how hard she tries, Levi won’t be scared off; in fact, he just wants her more, even with the threat that he has to share her with Star. The only other person Seven loves is Star, her childhood best friend and lover. Can Levi handle Seven and all her kinkiness?



“Should I play into this little game we have going on here? A very fucking dangerous game for both of us. I just can’t help it, because whether or not I want to admit it, I think I just met my fucking match.”



“Levi is like a drug I just can’t get enough of. I want to overdose on him until I fall into a sex-induced coma, only coming back to life once he is fully out of my system, and I am once again safe.”



No one is safe in matters of the heart. And that is exactly where this is headed. What started out as one crazy night, has turned into something more. Something deeper than just sex. Really hot sex. Levi wants Seven any way she will give herself to him…but he won’t stop until he has every last piece of her. Can Seven’s need for control be submitted to the one man willing to submit to her?

“You know what I love?” he asks me, as I move closer to his mouth, leaving enough room so we don’t touch. “What?” I breathed out. “The way you come to me, without a single word or command. Like you are mine for the fucking taking; I always thought I would be the one belonging to you.”

HELL to the YEAH! Dawn Robertson delivers one of the steamiest books I have ever read. The play between her characters is absolutely amazing. The chemistry, the conflict, the passion. Wow. I could not put this book down, and seriously…a cold shower or my hot husband was the only cure. AMAZING!! The relationship between Levi & Seven, between Seven & Star…and what happens after Blue comes back! I cannot wait to see where Star’s story leads in Finding Willow. Yes, there is more to this story than just Seven and Levi…but you have to read it. That’s all you are going to get—but it’s HOT! It’s ALL HOT!!

[Fab Fun & Tantalizing Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well slap my ass and call me silly, cause this book wasn’t at all as awesome as I was thinking it would be. IT WAS BETTER. Completely entertaining and engrossing. I never wanted it to end. I enjoyed the writing style and the descriptions were written so well I could envision the scene, but without wanting to scoop my eyeballs out. Total win.

”I came here with the intentions of being nice, civil, even friendly. People don’t get friendly from me, especially when I am their boss. But I gave you the benefit of the doubt, because I fucking like you, Levi Parker. But do not mistake my kindness for weakness, because we all know I am the one in charge here. In the boardroom, and the bedroom. Don’t think for one second that I didn’t notice your need for submission under my hand.”

Straight up off the bat I loved 27 year old successful business woman Seven James aka Mistress Marilyn. I loved that she walks all over the men in the boardroom, that she’s confident and sexy as hell in her own skin, that she’s wildly successful, lives in the penthouse and that she’s tough as nails. On the outside.

The line I have always drawn in the sand has been crossed. Crushed. Erased. Pulverized. Fuck!

Let me introduce you to Levi. *Swoooooooooooon* Beside the fact that’s he’s a total hottie, has ‘Ninja-mind-fuck’ skills, has the perfect instrument of pleasure, and can do things with his mouth that should be a sin. He’s a total teddy bear. He pursues his lady, is thoughtful and plans dates. Dates I tell you. And he cooks too. I’m telling you right now, this guy is a total catch.

Something about Levi just breaks me; I can’t hide the slightest thing from him. He is my kryptonite, and it sucks balls.

Meet Star. She’s Seven’s BFF. But she’s also got her own dramas. These two have a thick sexual history (and it was hot to read about!) but they also share peaks and troughs that lifelong best friends have. I can’t wait to read more about Star in the next installment.

”No one has ever wanted me. I have never wanted anyone. I use sex to copy with the emptiness in my life. I’m a whore. I fuck almost anything that walks, including my best friend. If you want me, I can’t give her up."

Throughout the pages we read about revenge - that sometimes isn’t all that sweet. Betrayal – of many kinds. A woman kicking ass and taking names – firing people left right and centre and the same woman that is vulnerable and feels unlovable and alone.

A single tear falls from my eye. Emotion overcomes my entire being, and my soul is warmed from nothing more than his touch. This man actually wants little, broken, unwanted Seven James.

Let me tell you something else, Hers has wicked cold shower inducing hot sexy times (a Seven sandwich!). I’m talking sexy times so hot I had to call my hubbyman home from work early cause my batteries were running low and just not making the cut. Wowza that list too...

”Fuck me, Levi. Fuck me hard against this wall for all of fucking London to see.”

Don’t read the synopsis and think this book is about a Dominatrix in a sex club. It’s not. It’s about a woman who likes to be in control of everything in her life, including how she likes her pleasure, plus emotions and events that go to a much deeper level.

Only a minute more and I can crack. Shatter. Retreat back into my fucked up head. Back to my fucked up life where I am worthless and where no one wants me. There, I am safe. The only person I am safe with is myself.

I don’t want to spoil it for you. A lot happens. Just know that I adored the outcome, and ending. I would recommend this erotic romance in a heartbeat. It certainly checked all my boxes and is more than worthy of a 5 star rating. The only thing I would change if I had the power is some Levi pov. I wonder if I nag, I could get me some…

…the possibility of a happily ever after is right in front of my face. I want to jump and take it. I want to grab the American Dream by the horns and make it my bitch.

Bravo on a wonderful debut Ms Robertson.

Sometimes in life, you have to throw caution to the wind. You have to take a chance on something that may not be a sure thing. This is what we call living. It isn’t fair to tread through life calculating the repercussions of every move. Simply existing isn’t for me anymore.

Jointly reviewed with a special appearance by our Male Reviewer, The Malebox for Totallybookedblog.com



Jenny: Okay guys, where to start with Hers. First off, readers should check out the synopsis and the warning….this does contain all sorts of sex situations and ummm yeah, it certainly was HOT. In fact it was pure entertaining filth. Levi was bloody gorgeous, Seven was kick arse and.….I was completely addicted and I felt kind of perverse reading some scenes and although I had a few issues with the storyline I couldn’t put this bad boy down! What about you two?

Gitte: GAH! Where do I start? My head was all over the place reading Hers. It was filthy, no question. But it was hot filth. Whether it was the scenes between Levi and Seven or between Seven and Star or….yeah there’s more hahahaha….Seriously, it’s sit in the freezer moments aplenty. No question. I loved Seven, she kicked arse and had the mouth of a sailor. Levi was bloody amazing. As for the story, hmmm I’m on the fence on that one as many things were left unexplained and the story tried to take a different direction at the end.

So MB, what did you think?

Malebox: It was your everyday story of boy meets girl, who then does him up the ass with a strap on and then love blossoms. If only life was this simple and uncomplicated, maybe each and every one of us could find that special someone in our lives. Maybe one day I will meet my Seven.

Jenny: Hmmmm not sure what sort of romance books you’ve been reading MB. We hope you get to meet your Seven, though be sure to have some lube on hand! So let’s talk about our heroine Seven. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone quite like her! I kind of fell for her…hard! I loved her…gutter mouth, kinks, hang-ups and all. This girl was a bit of a straight shooter, she’s got a lot of baggage and although she showed her vulnerability at times, she was one tough cookie and very..ummm..Adventurous.

“But do not mistake my kindness for weakness, because we all know I am the one in charge here. In the boardroom, and in the bedroom……” – Seven

Gitte: I LOVED Seven, guys…like proper fan girl loved. She was tough, intelligent, a bad arse with a mouth that’d stun even the hardest fishwife. The Bath & Beauty shop would not be able to keep up the demand of soap this girl would need to wash her mouth out. But then again, that was actually one of the reasons I loved her. She said it as is and didn’t put up with any crap nor did she suffer fools gladly. She’s not had an easy life so far, people have let her down, she’s felt unloved and insignificant growing up hence her desire and need to take charge, to put her foot down and make her mark. She guards her heart and her defences are as thick as the Great Wall of China. Her interpretation of love is skewered and lust and sexual prowess/domination is put in its place.

‘My hard exterior had always been a front. Seven, the emotionally unavailable nomad, had finally opened herself up to another living soul, only to be trampled to pieces.’ – Seven

How did you feel about Seven, MB?

Malebox: Seven was quite unique in the sense that she was a no nonsense girl who was freaky naughty at the same time. Yes she had some issues, but what woman doesn’t. I can hear the female scowls across the world as I write this. She’s every man’s fantasy girl, rich, beautiful, part time lesbian and dominatrix. Imagine Sigourney Weaver from working girl, but only way more attractive and into other women.

Jenny: Great visual MB. Now Levi!! We’re dying to hear your thoughts on him Malebox because G and I bloody LOVED this guy.

“But when I’m with you, I can’t think of another woman. When I’ not with you, I crave everything about you.” Levi

He was hot, kinky, had a heart of gold and was *cough, cough* VERY WELL endowed and we couldn’t get enough of him.. I think I was hypnotised by that beast of his. Wow! Seven painted us such a visual of that!

“His words send a shock through my body. This man has kink that’s for sure, and I fucking love it.” -Seven

Gitte: Yeah we bloody loved him didn’t we? Levi was LUSH. What a bloke…he was gorgeous, definitely liked his very own brand of kink…and well….umm…hello tripod!! But not only that, he had a loving soul and a huge heart.

‘Levi is like a drug I just can’t get enough of. I want to overdose on him until I fall into a sex-induced coma, only coming back to life once he is fully out of my system, and I am once again safe.’ – Seven

Malebox: Levi was ok, he came across a bit of a wet lettuce to me at times. I can understand falling for Seven, as all of us men would, but I wouldn’t fall with my ass against her large strap on. He seemed to fall in love with her straight away and willing to do all sorts of things to gain her love. I get this I really do, but us men have limits. I would have liked to have known what and where this kink in Levi came from. What I found slightly even stranger was that Seven didn’t ask. When they get to the “lets share stuff” stage, my first question would’ve been “dude, why did you let me do that?”

J&G: Levi! A wet lettuce? We have to disagree there MB, though you do have a point about wanting to know where his brand of kink came from.
So Malebox, us girls always review and share our thoughts but we’re interested to hear your thoughts, a male perspective if you like, on what you would do in this situation. Would you go for it or run for the hills here or take it like a man like Levi?

1) “First, protection. Condoms are a must. I don’t care how clean you are, or how clean you insist you are.”

2) “Two. If you are afraid of strap-ons, walk away now.”

3) “Third. This is a one time, no strings attached kind of thing. What goes on behind those doors is private… Last. When we are done with you tonight, you leave. No questions asked…”

Malebox:

1) Always practice safe sex boys and girls, this rule is golden, just like that shower I had the other week. I’m joking….or am I?

2) I’m not opposed to strap-ons, but there must be some discussion beforehand, and a large dose of lube. Imagine you ladies, if your men walked into the bedroom with a prosthetic cock and said “look what I have for you”. It would go down like a turd at party

3) I get this as I’m a guy and this is what we think at first anyway. We don’t go into a one night stand thinking” I must get her number so that I can call her first thing tomorrow” or “please I just hope this is going somewhere”. This is what a one night stand is isn’t it? Get in and get out .

Again, this is what a one night stand is. I have no problem with that, a little snack, maybe a sandwich or quarter pounder with cheese on the way home, this is a good night. As long as everyone knows the rules and agrees, what is the problem with it?

Jenny: Wow! You have it all sussed out MB! So yeah…..last thoughts on this one. For me, I know I couldn’t put it down, I know I have a crush on Seven and I loved Levi. There were a few editing issues and I’m still unsure about a few things in regards to the storyline. It was sort of cliché and did change tack but it certainly entertained me and yeah….it was HOT and I read it in one sitting!

“Fuck me, Levi. Fuck me hard against this wall for all of fucking London to see.” Seven

The sex scenes were something else that’s for sure. Last thoughts guys?

Gitte: Hmm…well I loved the refreshing female character of Seven and Levi was a pretty hot yet loving character in so many ways. Oh and the nookie sure was of the ‘sit in freezer’ variety. However, as I mentioned earlier I’m still on the fence due to the lack of storyline development and the editing issues. Despite this, though, I couldn’t put it down and that’s one of the reasons I enjoyed it as much as I did, because it truly was an addictive (and surprising) read!!

‘The fact is, we have the most fucked up relationship on planet earth. I don’t want him, but I do. He wants more than I will ever be able to give him, or at least I think he does…’

Freezer moments for you too MB?

Malebox: I can’t say that I had any freezer moments, I did go the refrigerator and take out some beers and cold pizza as I read it. Does this count? I enjoyed the book as the characters in the book were unique and there was lots of sex in it. This is definitely a woman’s book though and would probably not appeal to the general male population.

J&G: No MB, beer and pizza moments don’t count but thanks for your input. We’re glad we discussed Hers with you in that three way (no…not that sort of 3 way…the PM kind of three way!) and you decided to take the plunge to read and review with us, it’s been fun!

*I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review*

5 gut wrenching stars

Seven James knows who she is, she has flaws,she loves sex and owns it. Call her a whore, call her what you will, she'll smile and move on. Not many people are allowed in to know the real heartbreak she hides behind the ball breaker woman in charge persona at work or the Mistress Marilyn shell on the right night. When she gets the chance for revenge on her x-boyfriend, the one who broke the last piece of her heart, she takes it with a passion. Her success has come from her perseverance and take no shit attitude and it's all directed at Daniel Alexander. Buying up most of his father's failing company Alexander Mobile, she thinks will be the thing that helps her put herself back together. What she never saw coming was Levi, the one who breaks her no sex with the same person twice rule. A sexy sub she meets at the club who is willing to let her push him to his limits in the bedroom, but turns out pushing her outside of it. When he's on the board of her new company Seven's forced to confront things she's long since buried under revenge, hate and denial.

Hers is a surprisingly beautiful story about acceptance and growth. This book completely snuck up on me and knocked me on my ass. As a reader I can be hard to wow, I can be cynical and being someone who has read a lot, I get easily bored with cliques or overused story lines. Most books I've picked up I've probably read something like it already. That's where this book comes in. Yes, I've read a ton of erotica, BDSM, taboo, a little bit of everything. I figured the synopsis read well and sounded awesome but it was going to be another book like I've read before, hopefully well written and a nice escape from every day life. What I got was an emotional story with characters that I'm still thinking about days later, a surprisingly deep and rich storyline, and so much potential for books to come.

I loved Seven, she was probably the top 5 female characters I have been able to relate the most to. No, not because I'm secretly a Domme with trust or parental issues, but because she was real. There was so much beauty in her rawness. She coped the best way she knew how to and took a lot of hits for it. Enter one of the hits that I still have mixed feelings about, her best friend Star. Without major spoilers let's just say that Star wasn't the great best friend I thought she was, even if her actions were later explained and more understandable. Seven has clung to her because she's the one person that's always there and she trusts, even if that trust is sometimes blind or means she has to forgive her for things she wouldn't forgive others for. She accepts her for who she is, and has even had the same upbringing. I've forgiven her enough to itch for her story but I'm still holding a slight grudge.

Of course the other one we have to talk about is Levi. Wow, I didn't expect half of what we got from this character. He turned out to be complex and a little damaged, but really the best thing that ever happened to Seven. From a chance encounter at a club he turned into someone I never tired of reading about. I'm usually all about the alpha dominate male leads but Levi made me rethink everything.

I can't end this review without mentioning the sex. We got a good dose of steamy variety without taking away from the storyline. Yes, there's heavy and inventive sex, it's erotica, but it was done in such a way it was essential to the progression. I will say hooray for no overused foreplay and descriptions or boring sex leaving me skimming. There are scenes that will leave you panting and bowing to Ms. Robertson while begging for more.

What a promising debut, obviously this one's going on my favorites list!

5 Fuckin' Fuck, Sexy as Hell Stars!!

OH.MY.FUCKING.GOSH!! Fist of all this book is freaking fantastic!! I freaking love it!! Though Im not really kinda into those type of books with sexually explicit situations that include FF, FMF, and MFM interactions cause it really bothers the hell out of me but I take the risk and read this book and I find myself really hooked into it.

HERS

I am weak.
I am lonely.
I am a slut.
I am strong.
I am Dominant.
I am independent.
I am Seven James.

This book leaves me hot and bothered at some point. Im intrigued since the beginning and what shits will happening in the story.

Seven James Damn Hell I love this girl! Shes the epitome of a BAD ASS. Shes a businesswoman that dominates the field and also in bed. My Gawd this girl dont take shits from anybody. Though she suffers from a shitty kind of life having a hippie nomads parents and a brother that never loved and wanted her thats why she became what shes is until she met Levi Parker at the local kink club "Sinners and Swingers" looking totally lost and out of place.

This girl fucks anything that walks, male or female which in the club known her as Mistress Marilyn. Being a fresh meat in the club she wants to have this meat to fuck and dominate so she invite him into her penthouse.

"Let talk about the Kinky Sex"



OH MY FUCKING GAWD! Okay this thing bothers me but what the hell this is fucking hot as hell. And the fucking 10 inches dick? holy shit as hell! I cant imagine that dick .. it is fucking big and I cant imagine that it would fit!?! even in porn I haven't seen a 10 inches dick :O ..
The thing is I don't like the idea of threesome cause since the first time I have read a book with those type of thing my mind get fucked but this time I admit that I really enjoy reading it and also the idea of a woman being dominant in bed.



This story is freaking fantastic and hot as hell!
Okay lets not forget about her best friend/fuck buddy "Star" .. They grow up together and they bond like a sister but they have this special relationship. Though Seven has a strong personality but behind the mask is an insecure little girl and also broken from her past.
This is the story of her Revenge and Finding Love..

I enjoy reading this and I'm glad I did take the risk cause this book is fantastic! I cant wait for the next book to come.. :)

I Fucking Love Seven James!

I am weak.
I am lonely.
I am a slut.
I am strong.
I am Dominant.
I am independent.
I am Seven James.

This book had me at blurb.
But, it turns out there is so much more than those on blurbs.

Seven James is one badass independent woman with filthy mouth (so dirty I want to wash her mouth out with soap!). I always have weaknesses with a strong heroine and Seven is the real deal. Seven's inner thought is my favorite.

“Fucking God I hate guys who wear skinny jeans. Whoever thought making chick jeans for dudes needs to be shot.”

“I laugh to myself as I lick the vanilla ice cream off the spoon. Vanilla, what a fucking joke. My life is beyond fucked up, and my favorite flavor in the world is vanilla.”

Levi Parker on the other hand is a sweet handsome guy (at first he's too submissive for my taste but after 30% I fell totally in love with him).

This book is beyond my expectation. I loved it more than I think I would considering there are several things that really really bother me;


1. Twenty-seven years old woman and ran one of the largest communications corporations is a bit too much for me. Unless she inherited the business from her parents, it's too unrealistic.

2. Star. Betrayal is a hard limit for me. I didn't get why Seven still friended Star after what she's done with her brother in the first place.

Actually I was gonna complain about the ending because I didn't see it fit to the story but in the end I'm just this cheesy girl who loves cheesy stuff.

So, even though there're a lot of stuff that left unexplained (which left me irritated), I still loved the ending. After all it was a fun and quick reading.

So if you want to read an erotic novel with hot and filthy scenes combines with a touch of sappy romance in it, this book might do you good.

[Niccisbookblog · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is recommended for readers of 18+

Hers is a book packed to the roof with hot sexiness it contains BDSM, M/F/F, M/M/F,F/F, all sorts of toys, and a sex club.

Seven is a amazing character shes hot, covered in tattoos, hard as nails on the outside, strong willed, Ballsy, funny as all get out, she has a twisted sense of humor, very honest, full of passion. But Seven is so very broken on the inside.

Seven hides from emotion and uses sex as a game, a means to a end.
Seven is a great business woman with revenge in her sights for the man who left her and broke her heart, walked away from her for the perfect trophy wife that would make him look good. Never will Seven let anyone close enough to break her again, she has spent most of her life being told no one would want her, that she would always be alone, until Levi walks into the club.

Levi is a great guy total hotness, sex on a stick and into all kinds of kinky. He can see whats behind Sevens carefully constructed walls and behind all the fu&ked up and he loves her anyway. He wont let Seven push him away.
All he has to do is make Seven see what he sees.
The characters in this book blew me away, how they all connect and work together throughout the story, the twist and turns keep you on your toes. The plot is fantastic making you fly through this book in a few hours, the story isnt rushed at all and flows beautifully.
The ending to this book is cracking with a HEA and no cliffhanger.

Dawn Robertson’s style of writing is wonderful i just loved it and cannot wait to read more from her. Finding Willow is sure to be a great book and i look forward to reading it.

[KDiddlee · Rating 1 out of 5]

It took me almost a week to get through this book, and I had the nagging feeling I had read it somewhere before. It was chock full of spelling and grammatical errors, along with a lack of proper punctuation, fragmented sentences, and dialogue that was hard to follow and extremely immature ("Oh yes! Right there big boy." - really?!).

All it took was a dozen or more "chaste kisses" as well as a whole lot of "snaking" going on (arms behind backs; people on the dance floor; tongues in and out of ears and other places), and a surprise pregnancy (confirmed by an exam with the doctor using a - what else - "trans-vaginal probe") for me to put deuce and deuce together.

It's too bad, because the plot and characters definitely had promise. Had it been crafted by someone who was not in such a hurry to push one book out so she could begin writing the next one - and then placed into the hands of a competent editor - this could have been a very different review.

She guards her heart and her defences are as thick as the Great Wall of China. Her interpretation of love is skewered and lust and sexual prowess/domination is put in its place.

‘My hard exterior had always been a front. Seven, the emotionally unavailable nomad, had finally opened herself up to another living soul, only to be trampled to pieces.’ – Seven

How did you feel about Seven, MB?

Malebox: Seven was quite unique in the sense that she was a no nonsense girl who was freaky naughty at the same time. Yes she had some issues, but what woman doesn’t. I can hear the female scowls across the world as I write this. She’s every man’s fantasy girl, rich, beautiful, part time lesbian and dominatrix. Imagine Sigourney Weaver from working girl, but only way more attractive and into other women.

Jenny: Great visual MB. Now Levi!! We’re dying to hear your thoughts on him Malebox because G and I bloody LOVED this guy.

“But when I’m with you, I can’t think of another woman. When I’ not with you, I crave everything about you.” Levi

He was hot, kinky, had a heart of gold and was *cough, cough*VERY WELL endowed and we couldn’t get enough of him.. I think I was hypnotised by that beast of his. Wow! Seven painted us such a visual of that!

“His words send a shock through my body. This man has kink that’s for sure, and I fucking love it.” -Seven

Gitte: Yeah we bloody loved him didn’t we? Levi was LUSH. What a bloke…he was gorgeous, definitely liked his very own brand of kink…and well….umm…hello tripod!! But not only that, he had a loving soul and a huge heart.

‘Levi is like a drug I just can’t get enough of. I want to overdose on him until I fall into a sex-induced coma, only coming back to life once he is fully out of my system, and I am once again safe.’ – Seven

Malebox: Levi was ok, he came across a bit of a wet lettuce to me at times. I can understand falling for Seven, as all of us men would, but I wouldn’t fall with my ass against her large strap on. He seemed to fall in love with her straight away and willing to do all sorts of things to gain her love. I get this I really do, but us men have limits. I would have liked to have known what and where this kink in Levi came from. What I found slightly even stranger was that Seven didn’t ask. When they get to the “lets share stuff” stage, my first question would’ve been “dude, why did you let me do that?”

J&G: Levi! A wet lettuce? We have to disagree there MB, though you do have a point about wanting to know where his brand of kink came from.

So Malebox, us girls always review and share our thoughts but we’re interested to hear your thoughts, a male perspective if you like, on what you would do in this situation. Would you go for it or run for the hills here or take it like a man like Levi?

1)“First, protection. Condoms are a must. I don’t care how clean you are, or how clean you insist you are.”

2)“Two. If you are afraid of strap-ons, walk away now.”

3)“Third. This is a one time, no strings attached kind of thing. What goes on behind those doors is private… Last. When we are done with you tonight, you leave. No questions asked…”

Malebox:

1) Always practice safe sex boys and girls, this rule is golden, just like that shower I had the other week. I’m joking….or am I?

2) I’m not opposed to strap-ons, but there must be some discussion beforehand, and a large dose of lube. Imagine you ladies, if your men walked into the bedroom with a prosthetic cock and said “look what I have for you”. It would go down like a turd at party

3) I get this as I’m a guy and this is what we think at first anyway. We don’t go into a one night stand thinking” I must get her number so that I can call her first thing tomorrow” or “please I just hope this is going somewhere”. This is what a one night stand is isn’t it? Get in and get out.

Again, this is what a one night stand is. I have no problem with that, a little snack, maybe a sandwich or quarter pounder with cheese on the way home, this is a good night. As long as everyone knows the rules and agrees, what is the problem with it?

Jenny: Wow! You have it all sussed out MB! So yeah…..last thoughts on this one. For me, I know I couldn’t put it down, I know I have a crush on Seven and I loved Levi. There were a few editing issues and I’m still unsure about a few things in regards to the storyline. It was sort of cliché and did change tack but it certainly entertained me and yeah….it was HOT and I read it in one sitting!

“Fuck me, Levi. Fuck me hard against this wall for all of fucking London to see.” Seven

The sex scenes were something else that’s for sure. Last thoughts guys?

Gitte: Hmm…well I loved the refreshing female character of Seven and Levi was a pretty hot yet loving character in so many ways. Oh and the nookie sure was of the ‘sit in freezer’ variety. However, as I mentioned earlier I’m still on the fence due to the lack of storyline development and the editing issues. Despite this, though, I couldn’t put it down and that’s one of the reasons I enjoyed it as much as I did, because it truly was an addictive (and surprising) read!!

‘The fact is, we have the most fucked up relationship on planet earth. I don’t want him, but I do. He wants more than I will ever be able to give him, or at least I think he does…'

Freezer moments for you too MB?

Malebox: I can’t say that I had any freezer moments, I did go the refrigerator and take out some beers and cold pizza as I read it. Does this count? I enjoyed the book as the characters in the book were unique and there was lots of sex in it. This is definitely a woman’s book though and would probably not appeal to the general male population.

J&G: No MB, beer and pizza moments don’t count but thanks for your input. We’re glad we discussed Hers with you in that three way (no…not that sort of 3 way…the PM kind of three way!) and you decided to take the plunge to read and review with us, it’s been fun!

J&G and MB: 3.5 Stars

After reading the synopsis & seeing all the 5 star reviews I was immediately drawn to this book. The description alone makes it seem sexy, intense and exciting. The blurb really does a great job of building up the hype (as a good blurb should), but at the same time it creates a high level of expectation which I don't think was entirely met. For me, this was a solid 2 star read. I'm not one to pick on typos or grammatical errors unless they interrupt my reading flow, and while the errors were minimal I feel it could have benefited from another round of editing just to fine tune it a bit more.

Seven is a confident, powerful and sexy heroine. I really liked her character and thought she was pretty bad ass at times. She takes the whole girl-power, women taking charge role to a whole other level. I can honestly say she's one of a kind, mostly because she says and does all the things you wish the lead character would. Her unapologetic demeanor makes her admirable and fun to watch, even if she could be a bit infuriating at times.

I had some issues with Levi. I don't feel his character was consistent at all. His failed attempts at being an alpha male made absolutely no sense. One minute he's totally whipped, wants to live and breathe Seven. And the next he's trying to call the shots?? I'm not buying it. His character needs to go one way or the other, pick what he's going to be because he can't just hover somewhere in the middle. It just doesn't work that way.

I must admit the sex scenes didn't appeal to me either. It seems as though they were all the same; rushed and with ridiculous "dirty" talk that bordered on amateur porn. I wasn't really feeling any of it. I do love Erotica so its not like I'm some prude who can't handle sex scenes in books. I absolutely worship NJ Cole, the queen of erotica in my mind, so I know how good it can be. This just wasn't it, and labeling it as erotica is a bit misleading.

From beginning to end it was predictable. There really wasn't any major twists or turns that you didn't see coming from a mile away. And that ending! It wasn't really an ending at all. It came to a very abrupt stop without much notice. I kept swiping the pages to make sure I hadn't missed something. Much to my dismay, I didn't miss a thing. In all honestly I'm not really interested in reading the next book, Finding Willow, because I absolutely HATED Star and couldn't care less about what happens to her. I can't sympathize with her at all, her behavior just didn't allow for it. Maybe that's the effect Ms. Robertson was going for, I have no idea. I can't say I would recommend this one. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

Seriously hot sex is not enough to have me fall in love with a book. This one had some extremely hot moments though.
The overall story was decent - nothing earth shattering or unique, but solid and believable. Everything that happens in this book is actually very realistic. But for some reason I didn't feel any real connection to the characters. Maybe it was just me, but I didn't feel anything for them. I can't even pinpoint a reason why - other than I thought a lot of Seven's problems were self-inflicted & not really very big problems to deal with in life (she came across as a bit egotistical to me).
The one main flaw that really irritated me with this book was all the spelling and gramatical errors - I can overlook a few but this book was filled with them.
Overall not a bad read, but I wouldn't rush to put it at the top of my TBR list.

I bought the book in 2014 and today I came across it and I decided to read it.
It has ff sex scenes, I particularly avoid books like that, but the story hooked me.
