Club Volare #7
Savage Hearts
SAVAGE HEARTS is the latest stand-alone novel in the USA TODAY bestselling Club Volare series. It contains mature language and subject matter, and is definitely not for the faint of heart… ;)
A year ago, Soren Andersson triggered the events that broke up his world famous band, Savage Heart. Now a book about the band’s break up and eventual reunion has been published that reveals Soren’s sexual history as a powerful Dom, and all the media attention brings lawsuits and fortune-hunters intent on destroying Soren. But Soren doesn’t care about any of that.
All he cares about is Cate Kennedy, the lawyer hired to defend him.
It’s not that he can’t get her out of his mind. It’s not that she’s the perfect submissive for him. It’s not even the heat he feels when he touches her. It’s that he sees something in Cate—something he recognizes. Soren sees the pain that she tries to hide away, and the fear that keeps her from exploring the submission she craves, and he knows it’s his duty and his privilege to do something about it.
Soren has just one rule: total honesty. If Cate can do that, he can show her all of the things she’s ever dreamed of.
Cate is totally honest, except for one teeny tiny thing: she’s still technically married. Her abusive ex-husband won’t give her a divorce. Instead he’s using her secret interest in BDSM to blackmail her. Cate refuses to let her ex control her life anymore, and she won’t let him take this opportunity from her, either.
Soren Andersson offers the perfect escape: he’ll dominate her in all the ways she’s fantasized about, and he’ll do it with no strings attached. Neither one of them believes they are capable of love or commitment, but only Soren seems to understand the physical release that Cate needs.
It really is perfect.
Until one of them falls in love, Cate’s secret puts the band at risk, and Soren finds out she’s been lying to him the whole time…

About the author
Chloe Cox
40 books669 followersI have an overactive imagination and too much time on my hands, and the result is...well, lots of books! Which is probably better than the alternative. ;)
I love writing steamy and erotic romances, some dark, some light, but always about something that moves me. And, because I'm totally a sucker, love tends to win out. Everyone deserves a happy ending. :)
My contemporary BDSM erotic romance series, Club Volare, has hit the genre bestseller charts on Amazon a few times, which is just awesome. Right now there are two books, Sold to the Sheikh and Tied to the Tycoon, with a third, Disciplined by the Dom, due in February 2013. And I've also got this paranormal series in the very beginning stages of development that I'm super excited about. When I'm not writing those, I'm gonna be reading -- if you've got any good recs, send them my way!
And if you want to hear about those new releases when they come out, you can sign up for my New Releases list here (I *only* use it for that; I hate spam so much!).
Lots of love, and happy reading!!

Genres: Adult, Contemporay, Erotica, Romance.
4.75 Stars
I Loved it.
Well written and flows easily.
The characters are very well developed.
The interactions between the 2 main characters is off the charts hot, steamy and virtually palpable. The chemistry leaps out of the pages and touches you!
There are always a few minor editing errors in these books. This one is so well written you will most likely miss them.
Chloe Cox, you are a MASTER at writing adult, erotic romance!

I thought the the men in the past books were hot, but Soren just rises above the rest! The book pulls you in and you cannot put it down! Cate the female lead is strong and determined and I just love her. I love how Ms Cox shows how a strong woman can be sexual submissive she is not a doormat or a plaything. You could feel everyone 's turmoil and feelings again another sign of a great author! It is a must read! Great story line and hot love!

First I want to say how much I love this series. The way Chloe writes makes you feel like part of the Club Volare family.
So many emotions in Soren and Cate' s story. For both of them. They burn hot together.
It's hard to put into words the feelings that I went through reading this book.
I loved it and can say this is my favorite of the series.

Absolutely love this series
Bk 7 Savage Hearts in Club Volare series by Chloe Cox
Soren is a musician in a band with previous characters like Declan. He’s also a Dom and a member of Club Volare.
Cate is a lawyer and as to see over a summons against Soren by Ford.
What I loved about this book was the care Soren gave to Cate’s emotional trauma from her ex-husband and how he never pushed her when she had bad moments but then also got her to express her inner Sub.
Really love this series I feel it express BDSM well

Great addition to the series
Well researched characters, especially the woman coming out of an abusive relationship. Great got sex scenes and a nice happily ever after ending. A few too many typos for me. Hope the next book has better proofreading.

ARC Was Given To Blog For An Honest Review
I am a huge fan of Chloe Cox and her books. Her Club Volare series is so exceptionally sexy that it will make you sweat and ache for relief. Savage Heart is the next book in this series, each one can be read as a standalone but I really feel they are more fun to read in order.
My god I think I am still trying to cool my body after reading this one, and then I think about it and my body just heats up again. I am in a polar vortex here and that did not help. There are no words strong enough to express how insanely erotic and sexy this book is and to top that off the story concept was awesome as well.
Soren is a DOM and a very intense one. He is also from a Rock Band (he looks like a Norse God) yes I did just say that. He has a past that he has not dealt with and it keeps him from believing he can have a sustainable relationship that would involve love. He believes he is not built for it. Soren, honey how wrong you are. Reading about him made me feel like he was built for nothing but loving someone and not just sexually, but yes yes yes he is my sexual fantasy times 10.
Cate is a badass lawyer and a killer in the courtroom. She can take people down hard. That is one of her many faces though. Cate is smart, sexy and has been hiding herself for many reasons. Outside of the courtroom she is a woman that has been mentally and physically abused and lacks confidence in herself and in expressing who she is. Her true heart’s desire is to me a submissive.
Cate and Soren crash into each other! And the rockets red glare and the bombs burst in the air!!! It is that astounding of a connection. The way he could see who she was completely captured me to enrapture me. There was a scene in this story that was so incredibly moving, intense and erotic to the 10th degree that I felt as if I was intruding and should look away. But my mind had already envisioned it and I could not clear the vision away or in this case stop reading. Seriously that has never happened to me. I really do love BDSM themed books but this one shows so much more and also the beauty of falling in love even when you don’t think you deserve it and also learning to accept that who you are and that you can be happy with who you were meant to be. Watching Cate grow strong was a sight to see. It also gives you a glimpse of someone just learning what BDSM is and with the right Dom how beautiful it can be.
For my last words, I implore you to check batteries in your devices before you begin reading this book. At one point I did feel the need to spend some time alone with myself. I have no shame here, this book is just that hot and I was way horny. The unfortunate thing is to be that worked up only to find that your B.O.B. died and you have no more double A batteries. I am just lucky I am resourceful. THAT IS ALL!!
P.S. You should really read Savage Rhythm first and wow you will love that one too. It has a little bit of comedic side to it. Molly and Declan are so cute.

*ARC Provided for an Honest Review*
I love Cate Kennedy’s character. As a very successful, very in-demand badass lawyer she has made a name for herself professionally. She has such strength and determination when it comes to her work and doing what she does best, winning. And yet, there is a whole other side to Cate, a side that wants nothing more than to live a very private, very quiet lifestyle. That is until she sets foot in Club Volare and meets her newest client, Soren Andderson. Soren, a member of the amazing Savage Heart rock group, and Declan’s closest friend, is HOT. I mean really HOT. He is also a Dom, and a very good one at that. He knows and understands everything there is to know about D/s relationships and he wants nothing more than to truly please his sub and gain her absolute trust. As Soren and Cate’s relationship grows and deepens, we get to see another side of Soren, a “sweet” side and it is amazing. We also get to watch as Cate slowly comes out of her shell, and gains confidence in the person she truly wants to be. Together these two just make you smile.
The relationship between Cate and Soren has its ups and downs as they both learn to navigate along their journeys of self-discovery. I found myself cheering them on, rooting for them to work out their issues and just hoping for the HEA they so greatly deserved. I was not misled. That is exactly what they got and how they got there was so much fun to read about. There is some angst in this book but nothing that had me wanting to throw my Kindle, which I was very pleased about, as I really didn’t feel a lot of drama was needed. The obstacles they encountered were bearable, they were realistic and they were handled perfectly. There is no drama for the sake of drama and for me that is a sign of a well written book.
In addition, Savage Hearts gives us a glimpse into the lives of Declan and Molly now that they are planning a wedding. They are still an adorable couple so much in love and they are a lot of fun. Then there is the complicated, slightly frustrating relationship between Ford and Adra. Again, they are not the main focus of the story, but when they are together in a scene you just want them to work out all their issues. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for Chloe Cox to release their story, which is going to be equally amazing I have no doubt.
I highly recommend Savage Hearts, although I do recommend reading Savage Rhythm first so that you have a better overall understanding of the characters. Thank you Chloe Cox for another wonderful journey to Club Volare!

There is nothing better on a cold winters night than curling up with a great book. Savage Heart is the latest best seller of the delicious books from the Club Volare Rockstar Series by Chloe Cox. Mix a "hot" musician reputed to be a debauched womanizer and add his kick-ass attorney known for staring down the opposing council and you have a hot sizzling read.
Well lets get a little more specific, a hot Dom who is embroiled in a lawsuit because of a tell all book written by his band members girlfriend that can ruin his career as well as the people he cares the most about, his band. Not to mention our feisty brilliant litigator by day and frightened abused submissive by night. What happens when night starts to mix into her day job, how can she cope with the fear of abuse and how does abuse and BDSM differ?
Soren Andersson...blonde Norse-god, gorgeous, sensual, and when he uses his "Dom voice" totally irresistible. He is a sphinx of knowledge when it comes to the D/s relationship. Intuitive on what this beautiful woman needs to overcome her paralyzing fears. Cate has no doubt about Soren's innocence but will he let her play rough with a past sub who is after him? Soren believes that you do no harm to your sub even when they could ruin your career. Protect them at all cost. How can Cate defend her client with her hands tied?
Cate...beautiful, brilliant, take no prisoners attorney. Her record in court speaks for herself and that is all that she allows everyone to see, the strong controlled woman. The other half of the coin is a frightened abused woman whose soon to be ex-husband holds key information on her to maintain his control. Cate has a fascination with the BDSM world, has researched the who, what, where and knows that once she steps into Club Volare to meet her client her world will never be the same......is that a good thing? Who better to bring out Cate's sub side than her new client Soren but isn't that an ethical issue? Can your Dom be your client?
Excellent book. Its a solid story, and Miss Cox has tied together the characters from past books like a professional weaver creating a cloth of color, depth, and texture.

I was given an ARC from the author for a honest review.
Savage Hearts is the story of Soren Andersson you will remember him from Savage Rhythm as Declan's best friend and also his partner in the rock band that they have together Savage Heart. You may want to read Savage Rhythm first to get a better understanding of the relationship that Soren and Declan have, it is not necessary but I highly recommend it.
Soren has been accused of sexual harassment by a former sub of his and Club Volare has hired attorney Cate Kennedy (our heroine in the story) to defend Soren. The first meeting between Cate and Soren is somewhat of a crash literally! Cate is hiding from a friend of her soon to be ex-husband Jason a sleezy,abusive creep of a guy while on her way into Club Volare to meet her new client and while trying to avoid him she crashes into Soren. Cate and Soren don't know at this point that they are client/attorney but they sure enough found out... real real soon!
As Soren and Cate start to work together, the realtionship takes a much more personal turn and for the best for both of them. Soren introduces Cate into the world of BDSM a world that she has always wondered about and soon Soren becomes her Dom. Very hot! While both have had to deal with bad pasts Cate with an abusive marriage that she is desperately trying to get out of that Soren doesn't know about. What Soren wants more than anything in this relationship is for Cate to trust him and not to hold back, and Cate must learn trust Soren both physically and mentally. Soren on the other hand has his issues with dealing with the lawsuit and from a nasty past with a former girlfriend that changed his life and left him a broken man, and yes you can't help but fall for Soren....he is just!
With each new Club Volare book Chole just keeps getting better and better and I am so looking to more of these books from her. This is a must read for all of the Club Volare readers you will not be dissapointed.

Does this keep getting better, or what?
This is a must read and I'm thrilled that it finally caught my attention! I'd been waiting for it so I was shocked to see that I missed the release, but thrilled I have it now!
This is one series I hope never ends, it has everything anyone could want in one. if you haven't read any of them yet I need to ask, what are waiting for? just jump out and start with book one, you won't regret it!
this book was everything I thought it would be and so much more. the way the characters interact and how they are described allows you to just immerse yourself and wonder where the time goes! just when I had to reference book 5, things got explained, where was chance? I had to check my memory...Chloe didn't disappoint, just as I return to 6 there he was in all his glory :)
the characters from her books become a part of the experience, it's not just simply reading a book, you find yourself wondering where this one or that one is.
here's something else I found fascinating, it's not really book or story related, but after everything is done there is Chloe offering an incredible opportunity to reviewers and fans alike! wish I reviewed well we'll enough to be worthy. watt to go Chloe for yet again, bringing yourself closer to the fan base and offering such an amazing gift!
there were a couple of wording issues, but nothing I would ever hold against the book and its ability to be a 5 star reading! the characters and subject hit high above those two or three small errors.
Chloe Cox gives her readers the ability to become a part of something that is bigger then themselves, and that is just rare. Thank you Chloe for sharing your skills and for continuing the journey through Volare!! I'm very excited and anxious about Adra and Ford, too!!
where did you come up with the name Adra? it's a rare find and it was my grandma's name, now also my 9 year old daughters...

Chloe Cox gives her readers the ability to become a part of something that is bigger then themselves, and that is just rare. Thank you Chloe for sharing your skills and for continuing the journey through Volare!! I'm very excited and anxious about Adra and Ford, too!!
where did you come up with the name Adra? it's a rare find and it was my grandma's name, now also my 9 year old daughters...

I have been not so patiently waiting for Soren’s story. As soon as I was able to download this book I had to drop everything and start reading it. I love a good story with BDSM and lots of hot sex tossed in but this book was not all about the BDSM and sex and that is ok with me because there was so much emotion between Cate and Soren that you did not miss the other stuff. (Not that it lacked hot sex or BDSM, because the BDSM scenes were hot as all get out.)
The way that Soren is such a giving person comes through to you and makes you just want to wrap him up and take him home with you to snuggle up with and make you feel secure about everything. When it comes to Cate you can feel with each passing moment Cate becoming more sure of herself until in the end you just want to jump for joy about how she feels about herself.
The way that the love shines through this story is so great that when you are finished with it you just feel lighter in your heart and there is a new bounce in your step because of the good feelings you get from this book. I will be sure to tell all my friends that they should not miss out on reading this story. I know it will be on my Nook so that when I need a pick me up I can open and start reading it again.
I can’t wait for Ford and Adra’s story in early 2014 because they deserve to work things out but we will also get to see how things are doing with Cate and Soren too.
Thank you Chloe Cox for continuing to write these great stories with characters that you can fall in love with and that you can get a break from your real life and find a place where true love lives along with how people can go into life and learn to just be themselves without others always judging them.

October 12, 2022Savage Hearts is a contemporary romance with a touch of BDSM aesthetic. I really actually enjoyed it. Cate and Soren were pretty cool characters, but I think the inclusion of the BDSM element was distracting. It felt like Cox was trying to move the novel in a different direction, but the BDSM element seemed very disconnected despite the fact that the idea of it was very central to the story. The best BDSM books I've read make a real and solid connection between emotion and the activities of the lifestyle. Cox's connections late a certain intimacy and read rather vague. Although Cox fails to make those connections explicit enough in Savage Hearts, she does do an excellent job of building an emotional connection between Cate and Soren. There's a lot of chemistry and what's even better, the characters are well defined individuals. So, I liked reading them apart and together. I liked the tension and history that both characters came with and how it informed their interactions. LOVED the characters that Cox populates the novel with (Brian, Declan, Molly, Ford and Ardra, heck, even the secretary!).
Critiques: The major non-romantic elements of the plot were mostly hand waved into non-existence with the majority of the action taking place off stage. Cate and Jason's storyline could have been stronger. It felt very throwaway in many ways, especially considering how much Jason affected Cate. The resolution of the case, too, was handled quickly and efficiently with little to no real work or damage to Soren or Cate. Again, the majority of the action happens all off-stage.
Overall, though, I enjoyed this enough to go back and read more of the series.

I was so excited to receive my ARC of this book yesterday and yes I did read it in under 24 hours. Let me first say I am a huge fan of Chloe Cox as well, specifically the Club Volare series. I also like that they are all stand alones but you get more background if you read them in order. Either way they are well written light BDSM books with a great romance, struggle and HEA.
With all that being said let's move on to Savage Hearts. I really liked Soren from the last book. I was so excited when he first met Cate and I felt their connection. Cate was supposed to be Soren's lawyer. Soren is in a successful band and an ex submissive is suing him for abuse. The first time he meets Cate there are sparks and I really liked that she had no idea who he was. Cate and Soren both had their own pasts but they both really saw through each other. Cate had her successful career as a lawyer and that was the face that most people saw, a strong woman. Soren demanded honesty but was he willing to give it as well? Was their relationship purely business or could she be his sub as well? I enjoyed the journey as both Cate and Soren were drawn to each other but also both fighting their own pasts.
Now I can't wait for Ford and Adra's story. This is one of the things I enjoy about this series, I also feel very connected to the supporting characters.
Overall 4.5 stars for me. It will be shelved in my faves!

I started this series with book 6, because I love anything Rockstar related and couldn't wait to get up close and personal with Soren. Oh my Big Blonde & Beautiful Soren, just the type of guy any one would sub for finds himself in a bit of hot mess when he is being sued for "abuse" by one of his past subs. Since he just got back together with his band Savage Heart, this is not the time for more accusations thrown his way. Ford hires the best attorney he knows in this field and in comes Cate.
Cate is the no nonsense in your face lawyer who harbors a dark secret, well a few anyway. She meets Soren as she is trying deperately to not be seen at Club Volare by a collegue - Now this is where the story went from 5 stars to 4 for me - Spoilers below
Cate is married BUT in the entire book she refers to her husband Jason, who is a monster, as her EX OK I don't have a law degree but even I know that until that piece of paper is signed that says your marriage is disolved, you are still married, does not matter that you are not living together. Soren who up front sees the "sub" in Cate basically has a set of rules as do all Doms, his #1 Do not Lie-Cate lies by ommission and even asks Soren if that counts and he says yes, but when the big reveal is made, it doesn't matter, which is fine for the Author to go that route - but a bit ant-climatic for this reader, since it was one of the major stress factor for Cate throughout most of this story.

ARC received from author for an honest review.
First let me say that I enjoy Chloe Cox's writing and this has been a good series. Soren's story is what I have been waiting to hear. I got interest in him when he appeared in DeClan and Molly's "Savage Rhythm " story. He was the reason the band had broken up, but he was also DeClan best friend. There was a secret around the whole affair, so it was good to finally dig into the part Soren played and why.
Soren is a sexy, alpha Dom who happens to be caught up in a lawsuit for sexual harassment. He is also a member at Club Volare and in need of an attorney, a good one who can get him out of the situation with discretion and without anyone getting hurt. His life was exposed when Molly wrote a book about the band. Now the band is back together and he doesn't want it to affect them. Cate Kennedy, a lawyer who has been physically and emotionally abused by her soon to be enters the picture. She is known for her fights in the courtroom and Ford, the lawyer for Club Volare is confident that she can help Soren. She has secret desires that she wants to explore, but is afraid to give into them.
When Soren meets Cate, he knows what she is and he knows he can help her and can do it without commitment to a relationship. Its just getting Cate to submit to her true self. This is another sexy BDSM read with a good romance.

* I received an ARC for an honest review*
And OMG...here goes...because this one was a book that I did not want to end!! I thought my favorite couple in the Club Volare series was Molly and Declan...until now. Holy hotness and all that is glorious...Soren and Cate have taken the top spot and after this we will get the pleasure of Ford and Adra's story!!
Right off the bat I was sucked into this story...Cate headed to a meeting with new client Soren at Club Volare, attempting to not be seen there and running into a "buddy' of her abusive and sick husband. She is saved from discovery by Soren and the rest is just plain fireworks and passion. There are also the back stories of Soren's relationship with his family (or lack thereof), Cate's attempts to divorce her douchebag, slimeball husband and the growing Dom/sub arrangement between Cate and Soren. This book is filled with sexy romance, battles between the media and a lawsuit with Cate and Soren stuck in the thick of it, and pretty much a powerful, edgy and at times sweet (yes!) love that grows.
Chloe Cox just keeps getting better and clearer with her vision and writing and I was so honored to be one of the first people to get to read this fantastic new romance!
*****5***** tie me up and spank me stars =)

So its no big secret that I am a huge fan of this series, and in my personal opinion these books just keep getting better and better.
The story of Soren and Cate was a awesome one and it reeled my attention in from the start. I fell in love with Soren in the previous book as he was so instrumental in bringing Molly and Declan together and in his story we get to see behind the man with a good heart. He has plenty of personal baggage he deals with in this story and as all good stories go its with the help and love of a good women - Cate that he deals with it....
The "Nordic God" is not only a rock star, but also a Dom, and ladies I dare you not to fall in love with him and add him to your book boyfriend list....I know I did!!!
I also have to admit to doing a little (okay a huge) *Squee* at the end of the book as finally it is Ford and Adra's turn. It feels like I have been waiting forever for these 2 to get their own book...I cannot freaking wait!!!

I received a copy from the author in exchange for my honest review, so here it is. I love this series. Club Volare is in itself sexy and the Doms are to die for. Soren is in the band Savage Hearts and his life is about to change but will it be for the better? When Cate literally hides behind him to not be seen. Cate is at the club to meet with Ford, a lawyer friend, and Soren to help with a law suit against him. When Cate doesn't know who Soren is kind of surprises him. She is a bad-a** lawyer and he can tell from the beginning that she is a sub too. Cane he help her with the fight she has going on inside her head? Can Cate help Soren win the suit? Will she loose her heart in the process? Can she help Soren learn to love and be loved? Will Cate finally get the divorce she is waiting for from Jason? Your heart will break for Soren and Cate and the past they have lived. If you love a great story with a few twists, then you should check out the Club Volare series. Chloe Cox has a great writing style and I loved this one.

"Yes!" "I'm not going to stop until I have you screaming that" because "yes" you need to read this book!! Lol
Light on BDSM and heavy on the Alpha male (Soren) yum!
How envious can one be when two people can see facets of one another that no one outside of the two of them will ever see?
It's tender that Cate is able to make bad boy player smile and is able to see the "sweet" side of him.
It's fascinating to see Soren overcome a tragic past when he's blaming himself and Cate seems to be able to bring light to his darkness.
The drive that Cate has to overcome an abusive past that affects her present and the challenge to be able to be a tough rule the courtroom lawyer and submissive to someone that feels right....the path they travel to make each other complete and not having to constantly wear a mask can only be described by Sierra Cartwright :) Can't wait to read about Ford
& Adra!! :) what are you waiting for?? Start reading Volare baby!

We met Soren in Savage Rhythm and knew that there had to be more to his story. In this book Soren is back and meets his new lawyer Cate. The thing is Soren is feeling things fast for Cate while still trying to hold on to his no strings rule. Cate has secrets of her own like a husband that she can't get to sign divorce papers. Soren has one rule that he holds to above all other no lies there must be honesty makes you wonder if these two can make it. What we find is a hot time between two people who are exploring each other as well as exploring how they fit in the world around them. I want to say more but anything you can say in this review will give things away for the story. I am a huge fan of this series and this is another hit out of the park. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.
December 31, 2013
Chloe Cox’ new book, “Savage Heart” is another hot hit!! This book is about Soren Anderson and Cate Kennedy. Cate is an attorney who was hired to defend Soren, a member of the world famous band, Savage Heart, who is being falsely accused of sexual harassment and degrading behavior. The story has its ups and downs. Cate finds herself being drawn to Soren, who has a reputation. She is unsure if Soren is telling her the complete truth. Could the reason she does not completely trust Soren be that she is hiding a truth about herself? Their relationship starts out as a strictly physical and no strings attached, because both believe they are incapable of loving another individual. Wow this is one emotional story. Chloe does not disappoint. Her books are hot and you will quickly become addicted to them! I cannot wait for Chloe’s next book!!!

Omg! Where do I start except by saying that I loved this story about Soren and Cate! I wasn't sure about Soren at first when I was reading about Molly and Declan but I could tell there was more there than meets the eye! Soren just got Hotter and Hotter! Chloe gets you so into the story of these two that when Soren uses his Dom voice, I swore that I could almost hear it. It was such an awesome read that once I started it, I could not put it down. The whole series is one you shouldn't pass up. Loved them all. So looking forward to Ford and Adra's story to unfold! Thank you again Chloe Cox for a wonderful early Christmas gift!

I received a free copy of Savage Hearts from Chloe in exchange for an honest review. I give this book a 5 star. Chloe did it again. I love reading her book. It has a little bit of angst if any which I love, lots of interaction of the characters from previous books, awesome chemistry b/t the two main characters and many sexy scenes.
I love interaction between Cate and Soren. You can feel their attraction coming off the pages. I like how independent and strong Cate is. This is one of the things I love about Chloe's female lead characters. They always know what they want and go for it. They don't flip flop or can't decide what they want.
I look forward to the next book in the series.

Love it <3<3
A tell all book is written about Soren and the band. Now he's being sued and Cate has taken his case. Soren spies something in Cate that calls to his Dom. Cate is trying to get divorced but her ex won't sign the papers. He was abusive and Cate doesn't want Soren to know that she is still legally married, so she keeps it from him. But that is his one rule...don't lie. Her ex tells her he will tell everyone about her kinky side and ruin her.
I loved this story! You have sex, rock n roll, a crazy ex, a little BDSM and two people who think they are unable to love. I know this probably doesn't make sense (review) so just read this book, you won't be disappointed.
