Julie, who features in The Star, is in book #1 of the trilogy. Although she doesn’t have a major role she does have a major impact on Victor and how he perceives people living the BDSM lifestyle. It was judged, therefore, only fair that Julie have her chance at happiness and The Star was born.

The Star is book five in the Sexy as Hell series by Harlem Dae — also known as Lily Harlem and Natalie Dae. It’s the second short story. This sexy little number tells the story of Julie, one of the performers in the Sexy as Hell club in London. She dances in the club and her props are whips — ones she uses to flagellate herself, because she’s the only one that can do it, the only one that can swing whips hard enough to satiate her needs. Her skin is criss-crossed with scars, ones that many see as ugly, but that Julie sees as part of her, the most beautiful part. All she wants is a man that will love her for who she is, and give her what she wants. And that means accepting those scars, why they’re there, and being able to give her the degree of pain she craves. Julie’s not holding out much hope of finding that man, until The Star comes into her life.

The Star is a famous film star who comes to the club frequently to watch Julie’s show. He enjoys it immensely, is obsessed with it, even. And when she gives him the chance to get closer, into a more private setting, he jumps at the chance. But can he really give her what she wants?

This was an intriguing story. It was easy to see how Julie might struggle with a man accepting her for who she is and understanding her needs as well as meeting them. Having said that, she’s a confident human being as well as a loving and caring one. The way the storyline unfolds is exciting, sexy and fun — and I absolutely found myself rooting for Julie throughout. I enjoyed the way the eroticism was woven expertly in with the romance, and the ending left me both pleased and satisfied. This is another excellent addition to Harlem Dae’s BDSM series, well done.

The Star by Harlem Dae
Sexy as Hell Secondary book
This is a quick peak at Julie, one of the characters in book #1 of the trilogy.
Julie is an entertainer who likes pain A LOT. There is always one customer she looks for at each show and she fantasizes about him almost every night during her sleep. Mason only comes to Sexy Hell for one reason and that reason is Julie. Let’s just say they are in for one hell of a night when she gets off of work. This was a great quick read and it gives you some hot satisfaction but I got to admit it did leave me wanting a little bit more.
“I received this book as a review copy in return for an honest review”.

Julie's got her groove back! I wish this one wasn't a short story. I could have read so much more!
