Indecent Proposal

Masters of Paradise #7

by Poppy Flynn

Poor little rich girl. Rosalind Porter knew it was a cliche, but that didn’t make it any less true. Her whole life all she’d wanted was for someone to care for her, to put her first, rather than her fortune. She didn’t want to second guess the motives of every man she met. Was that really too much to ask for? Rosie had found solace in the M/s lifestyle of total power exchange. It gave her a tiny taste of what it might be like to be the centre of someone's world instead of a means to an end. That’s how she met Harrison Quinn, the powerful, charismatic billionaire control freak. Or a jealous, possessive alpha-hole as some might call him. She certainly didn’t need to worry about him only wanting her for her money. Except he might demand an even higher price; one she’d pay with her heart. Because he’s made Rosie an offer she can’t refuse. The kind of offer mothers taught their daughters to run from.

If you've read any of the previous books in the "Masters of Paradise" series, some of the characters will be familiar to you. It's not required, however, and you'll get just as much enjoyment reading this as a standalone title. This particular romantic couple starts with their introduction at "Iniquity", the kink club on the exclusive tropical island of Elysium. They enter a 24/7 TPE M/s relationship for a period of 6 months at the mmc's residence in New York City.

The type of contract that this book talks about is one for the not faint of heart. Beware of triggers, including CNC and impact play. There is no cheating or sharing and an HEA is guaranteed.

If you are looking for a detailed look at a relationship that is beyond "slap and tickle", you'll enjoy this book. It obviously has a LOT of graphic sexual content.

Enjoy!.

Indecent Proposal is the 7th book in the Masters of Paradise series and like all the previous novels, explores a kink unique to the leading characters. Harrison and Rosalind are both very wealthy, high profile and therefore very private people, looking for the most severe of power exchange dynamics: Master and slave. Their meeting on the tropical island and the first intense scene was published in the Wicked Games anthology but now the story continues with them both settling into their roles in New York. What follows is a fascinating contrast between harsh, rough scenes and tender, caring moments while they adhere to a rather formal contract while secretly giving and wanting more. But like a snake in paradise, outside conflicts threaten their relationship and so the final HEA is hard-won but all the sweeter. A fantastic story that put me through an emotional wringer and left me wanting more!
I was fortunate to have received an advanced copy from the author and am leaving this review voluntarily and honestly.

Indecent Proposal is a beautifully written master-slave love story filled with emotion, drama, angst, BDSM scenes, and fascinating characters. The world that author Poppy Flynn has built is by turns dark and erotic and sexy and lovely. This book had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. It’s the first book in this series that I read, and now I’m super intrigued to start the series from the beginning to understand the supporting characters in this book. Poppy Flynn is a masterful writer, and she is also very clear in her trigger warnings: if BDSM, CNC, or Master/slave content bothers you, then this book is definitely not for you. If those topics don’t trigger you, then you’ll love this love story!.

This is the latest standalone, HEA story in the Masters of Paradise series. Don't worry if you haven't read any of the other books, it's not necessary. I really enjoyed this book and it was great to read of a different type of relationship on the BDSM spectrum. Because of the M/s aspect and the seeming harshness of some aspects, this book may not be to everyone's tastes and although I normally like my relationships a bit 'softer' I did wonder if I'd made a mistake, but I just loved reading of the relationship between Harrison and Rosie. I liked the drama that infused the last half of the book and it's easy to say people need to communicate more, but no relationship is immune to misunderstandings and I enjoyed reading this from both POV. I did feel that it wrapped up a bit too quickly, but that's just a personal opinion. Overall, a wonderful read.

It was a pleasure to return to reading the Masters of Paradise series and this book has a bit of a different feel to others in the series. It is mostly in a different setting and around a different kink, which added an interesting dynamic to the series as a whole.
Harrison and Rosie are fascinating characters who are compatible and challenging. Their kink is sensitively handled throughout. Personally I found Rosie’s ease at trusting Harrison quite hard to believe, it did fit with her character and I did like how open and trusting she is.
I liked the fact that the book moved away from Elysium to New York as it showed lives of people who are not permanent members living in Paradise.
I’m looking forward to more in this series in the future and hope it isn’t too long a wait.

This is a fairly short and quick read and new story in the "Masters of Paradise" series. It is a novella with BDSM kink with dominant/master and submissive/slave relationship. The story is about Harrison and Rosie. Harrison is in the Iniquity a kink club with his friend Marcus who mentions wanting to introduce him to a submissive. Harrison sees her immediately and is drawn to her. When Rosie is introduced to him she drawn to him as well. She senses he will fill the longing and an emptiness she has felt with others. I enjoyed their story. It is steamy but sweet too. I really like how their story built beyond the contract.

[Judy Gittleson Hendrickson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Trust is the biggest issues for both Harrison and Rosalind as both are wealthy and worry others are only after that aspect of them. With that out of the way, they find they are agreeable on so many levels and start a contract relationship. The characters are wonderful with great backstories, steamy encounters, entertaining situations and determination. The storyline of the couple flows well, but the obstacles take a bit to overcome. Loved their chemistry and strength to make it through to the other end, securing their place together to take on all that comes.

To say I devoured this book would be an understatement. I started reading at 8pm, read until my kindle fell on me and then finished at about 10am the next morning....... its just that good.

I've not read a M/s book before and it's been a while since I've read any books of this nature, but I really enjoyed Indecent Proposal and it has reignited my interest to read more.

Although this is book 7 in a series it can be read as a stand alone, however I will now be going back to read the first 6 as soon as possible.

Highly recommend .

Poppy Flynn brings us another kink found on the Island of Inequity. Harrison is wealthy, possessive, and intense. With those attributes, it's hard for him to commit when he hasn't found anyone he can trust not to take advantage of him personally or monetarily. Meeting Rosie could change all that. She has a wealth of her own and wants anonymity from it. Can they meet each other's needs while building trust and a relationship? Intense, drama, angst, and so much growth. Their storyline is so well written it was nearly impossible not to fall into it and feel like a voyeur. I love this series.

Enjoyed Harrison and Rosie. Together they are exploring a relationship with a full power exchange. Unfortunately life seems to interfere and they both forget the most important part of a relationship… communication.

These two seem perfect … and then things change.

This has some super 🔥🔥🔥🔥scenes.
A little drama involving another woman …
Miscommunication or lack thereof
Heartache and confusion.

Harrison has a particular taste when it comes to his woman, once that is hard to find who is does not want his money. Rosalind comes from money and is looking that one type of man that can do more that push the right buttons.

When Harrison sees Rosalind at the club, she has possibilities. When they play together, he wants more. During the contract he wants it to be real.

Hot and powerful story with that has an intense connection, business drama and love that grows to be more.

Intense Dynamic, Intense Emotions

Harrison desires a full time, Master-sl@ve relationship with a special woman, but finding that unicorn is a challenge. Rosie wants to give over complete control to a Master, but there has to be reciprocity. These two should be an amazing magnetic match - can they make it work? This story was capital-I-intense - I found both the scenes and their relationship arc emotional and gripping. The way the secondary plot with its business aspects was built up was masterful. I was drawn into Rosie and Harrison’s world and I loved it!

Well I have to ask myself how did I miss the previous six titles in this series?
Definitely will be tracking down the rest of this spicy series for future reading.
Even though it is the seventh title in the Masters of Paradise series it is thankfully a standalone book.... phew!
A very entertaining lustful read with a good balance of (bedroom) action sprinkled with a dosage of BDSM to really spice up things.

This is the seventh book in the Masters of Paradise series. The books deal with different aspects of kink. This one involves the master/slave dynamic. I think that this is my favorite of all the books. The scenes can be challenging to read, but the relationship between Harrison and Rosie is mesmerizing. This author writes such amazing stories.

I received an advance copy, and this is my honest review.

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is book 7 in the Master of Paradise series and is a master-slave love story between Rosie and Harrison. It's well written with drama, angst, great characters power exchange and hot scenes which includes BDSM and some dark intense scenes which do come with trigger warnings. Even though this is book 7 in this series it can be read as a standalone.

Really enjoyed this. I read it in one session as I couldn't put it down. Rosalind needs a man to take complete control over her. She meets Harrison who is very rich (she is too). Their relationship begins and it has lots of twists and turns as the fight for a HEA is very hard to find. It is a total power exchange and is a little dark in places but triggers are in place. Great read!

[BookLover1990 · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the first book I've read written by Penny Flynn; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

This is the second book in the Masters of Paradise Series; it is a stand-alone book. The story is about Rosie & Harrison.

Warning: this is a very dark story with harsh punishments for any orders not being fulfilled exactly as ordered. The two main characters want to enter a Master/slave relationship, following a pre set contract. Each think they have finally found the right partner. Unfortunately things don’t go as smoothly as they hoped

[Abby Lynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a masterfully written book! I loved the story and squealed at the HEA. This author seriously knows how to write and I loved every single page. Definitely a must read if you love romance!

Even if I have read many kinky books, I haven't read a lot that explore an M/s dynamic.
I really loved that book. Even if it's a novella, Harrison and Rosie's characters are well written. Their motivations and inner psychology to enter such an extreme dynamic are present. But above all, there's love, so much love in every page that this story is truly unique.

[Stacie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This novel is part of the Masters of Paradise series but all books can be read as standalone novels. This novel focuses on Harrison and Rosalind and the concept of a Master/slave relationship. When they attend a kink club called Iniquity they are introduced by a mutual friend and find that their total power exchange preferences match. After one interaction they find that they want to immerse themselves in a contracted experience that gets….intense! All readers should read the trigger warnings but if you like darker romances you will likely enjoy this gem!

[Sassy Angel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this story by Krista Wolf. I can't get enough of her stories. I couldn't wait to see what happened next between Arianna, Tyler, Zane, and Axel. I love reading best friends and reverse harem romances. They have been best friends for years now. Arianna never thought she would have more than their friendship until now. Can she get forever with them?

This may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I loved it. The story gives a glimpse of a lifestyle beyond the traditional D/s dynamic with total power exchange. There are no safe words here. I would have found this kind of scary, but after being introduced through a mutual friend, Rosie and Harrison quickly come to an agreement and Rosie moves to New York and places herself under Harrison’s complete control. The contrast between tender moments and harsh discipline when rules were broken was masterfully handled (pardon the pun) to show this was a two-way relationship and there was more give and take than one would expect. While Rosie struggles with wanting more outside their role as master and slave, Harrison tries to protect Rosie from the harsher side of the corporate world, a misstep that leads to disaster.
