Pure Sin
Whips. Blindfolds. Restraints. And a man rumored to be the most skilled Dom in the city...
As the BDSM instructor at the hottest fetish club in Los Angeles, Bianca Alexander prides herself on being open, honest, and informative with her clientele when it comes to kink. The fact that she hasn’t knelt before a master of her own in four long years doesn’t affect her ability to teach, though a part of her longs to be back in her Dom's arms. But when her boss hires Cade Sinclair--her primary rival from a competing club--to assist teaching her classes, Bianca’s comfortable solo act becomes a sinful duet drenched in Pure Sin.
This novella contains strong explicit sexual content and is recommended for adult audiences.
"“I read this book in one sitting. It was like a digital chocolate coated wet dream for the kink in me.” –Naughty Edition Reviews

"VERY NICE!!! What a wonderfully decadent tale of love, sex and bondage! This fantastic treat was a show stopper from start to finish with characters, plot and SEX that left me breathless!" ~Seriously Reviewed

This book is aptly named, because it is deliciously sinful, though ‘pure pleasure’ may also be a fitting description for this enjoyable read.
Sin is one hot Dom and the action is well-described, capturing the sexy interplay between the H&h, with the intense connection between the couple during scenes almost palpable, conjuring up both image and emotion, as Sin employs all his skills to convince Bianca that he is the master she needs.
I was lucky enough to get this when it was on a free offer on Amazon, and I see that it now costs actual money, but I would have been equally happy if I had paid for it. The writing is very good, largely error-free, with a pleasing flow and pace, and so much better than is often encountered in books with similar themes. A good four stars.

How to rate this? The BDSM in this story is good. It's light and enjoyable. The writing style is smooth too. Definitely an enjoyable read from Ms. Raines. What brought the 3 star story down to a 2.5 star (I truncate so it shows up as a 2 star) is the conflict. I loathe this type of contrived conflict.
Bianca is the one who got away from Cade. She's the one who wanted to submit to him as sub. He wanted her as his sub. Due to a series of misunderstandings and sabotage, they are apart for four years. FOUR YEARS. I have to question this. Why are people unable to talk to one another about important topics? Why? While I may believe this book to be unrealistic because I can't fathom this type of behaviour, I've been reassured by people I know, this is very realistic.
Why on earth would a person take the word of a stranger over their lover? Why? If some hoochie mama tells me something about my lover, I'd go straight to my lover with the hoochie mama in tow. I'd probably be dragging the bitch by hair as she's kicking and screaming. Then I'd confront my lover with a - "So, according to XXX, she says this. Would you like to explain now or later?" And by now or later, I mean now before I kick your sorry ass or later, after your sorry ass has been kicked.
I think my attitude on how to handle situations like this make these types of tropes unpalatable to me. I'm still interested in reading from this new to be author because I like her BDSM and her writing voice. I just didn't care for the conflict and the Bianca's response. Recommended for new to BDSM readers who enjoy a bit of angst with a happily ever after.

For a novella I thought the book really delivered.

It amazes me how most books wouldn't exist if the main characters ever had a conversation.
It made the work day go faster though.
