“Tie me up, so I can be free.” –Alayna.

Erotica romance author and owner of one of the largest publishing companies, Damon Lear, has a secret that keeps him out of relationships and into behavior that is taboo to many. He is willing to set his strict rules aside for one memorable night with romance writer, Alayna Wynn, who he meets at his friend’s wedding. He fails at propositioning her, but they share one heated kiss, and he assures her they will meet again.

Damon gets his opportunity to seduce her when he rescues Alayna, keeping her from being stranded in an airport. Unable to leave his penthouse for days, she discovers it is impossible to resist the handsome, mysterious man who wants nothing more than to make her submissive.

When Alayna’s needs are not met, they both try to move on, but Damon sees that living the way he did before she walked in and out of his life is now impossible. He lures her back, and Alayna falls deeper into his world of BDSM. She is surprised to find it thrilling and wants to please Damon more than ever, being a willing participant in his hot fantasies.

Their relationship is soon threatened when details from Damon’s past are leaked to the media, forcing him to share with her his darkest secrets. Exes resurface, family interfere, and paparazzi stalk them, causing chaos. During it all, Damon battles to hold on to control by pushing Alayna sexually, introducing her to new, enthralling experiences. He soon realizes he’s losing the hold on his heart when he witnesses Alayna fighting for the both of them and submitting to him completely.

This is a sexy, steamy erotica romance that will leave you wanting more.

For a mature audience due to explicit sexual scenes and harsh language.

This is the first book I have read by Author Scarlet Wolfe. I have to say she can write an Amazing story. This Trilogy, you just don't want to put it down. Alayna, after being in a 7 year relationship with her Ex, she takes the next 2 years to find herself again. Now she is considering a move back to N.Y. to be closer to her Best Friend Felicia. Damon is the son of a well known family. He had a relationship go wrong, way wrong when he was younger. The true was never told. He is determined no more relationship, just hook ups with other women that like his kind of Control he needs in the Bedroom. Alayna and Damon meet at their Best Friends Wedding and just when you are not looking for anything more then a hook up, that all consuming Chemistry pull just will not let up, What started out as just enjoying each other during a snow storm . They never did think this pull would get any stronger. They denied it but it didn't go away. Can a man from a damaged pass let love in. Alayna was always the quiet one never stood out, but Damon shows her she is Strong and Sexy and more then a Wallflower and he awakens a side of Alayna she never knew she had and she now longer wants Vanilla in her life. She is the Key to open Damon's locked heart, but his past comes front & center he will do any and everything to keep it from touching Alayna. Things spiral out of control and soon his past is here, Damon is willing to fight for what he wants [ Alayna], but can she handle all of his past. Their Bond and Trust will be tested, are they both strong enough and is the Love they found enough to get them through it all. This is a must Read. I recommend this STORY. if you like / love FSOG this is better. would give more then 5 stars

Alayna, after being in a 7 year relationship with her Ex, she takes the next 2 years to find herself again. Now she is considering a move back to N.Y. to be closer to her best friend Felicia. Damon is. He has a relationship go wrong, way wrong, and the true was never told. He is determined not to have anymore relationships, just hook ups with other women that like his kind of Control that he needs in the bedroom. Alayna and Damon meet at their Best Friends Wedding and just when they were not looking for anything more then that all consuming Chemistry pull just will not let up. What started out as just enjoying each other during a snow storm neither one thought this pull would get any stronger. They denied it but it didn’t go away. Can a man from a damaged pass let love in. Alayna was always the quiet one never stood out, but Damon shows her that she is Strong and Sexy as he awakens a side of Alayna she never knew she had. She now longer wants Vanilla in her life.

Great Novella Series!

If you are looking for a fast and sexy read then this series is for you.

I loved the fact that Damon is a dominate and controlling man by nature, but his passion for Alayna has him breaking some of his rules and thawing his heart.

Book One will ignite the spark for you as the reader and give you a glimpse into what may be if Alayna returns to the city

Book Two will fan the flame of the passion and intense feelings that Damon and Alayna have for each other if they can only overcome both their stubborn personalities.

Book Three will ignite you as their relationship progresses and you learn the past that Damon and his family have fought so hard to hide.

The story unfolds over these three books and had me flipping the pages and reading each in one sitting.

I loved the fact that even though Damon is a Dom my nature in his past experiences that we see a vulnerable side of him. He and Alayna both discover the kind of kink that works best for their relationship and her limited experience in the BDSM world.

The story line is very well developed throughout all the books and leaves you clicking for the next book to find out how this relationship continues to develop!

I have read most of Scarlet work. It this is a total new read from her. I had moments so steamy I had to stop and make sure nobody was around to she me blush. Damon rivals a lot of the big dirty talking alphas. I loved Damon and Alayna from the beginning. Alayna change and grew with her love with Damon! Damon grew into himself with Alayna love. There steamy I mean STEAMY scenes with Alayna and her erotic writer Damon. I want to read more of what happens with there happily ever after. Damon and his precious Alayna is a major must read!!

This was a great story and it kept me interested through the whole thing. The only thing I would suggest is that the Dom who is experience should have given Alayna more of the rules as she is not an experienced sub.

::: Standing ovation :::

This is quite possibly THE best story I have ever read.

This series is comprised of three books which should be read in order, and each one will need to be read in order to gain the full story.

The writing is fantastic. Scarlet weaves in the perfect amount of conflict, sarcasm and suspense. Technically, it is written very well with minimal proofreading issues.

We read the story from the respective points-of-view of Alayna and Damon. These two could not be more different from each other, and yet a series of circumstances brings them together for a chance encounter that changes their lives forever.

The story has a strong BDSM undertone. Normally I feel sort of "eh" toward books in that genre, but, in my opinion, this one used BDSM really as an illustration to show the growth and change in the characters as the story progressed.

Some mystery is sprinkled more and more from the middle to the end, and the way Scarlet reveals teeny tiny bits at a time had me DYING to find out what in the world happened to Damon in his past! (And, I must say, I never saw it coming!)

Speaking of HOT, the love scenes are AMAZING, and there is no shortage of them. Nope, Alayna and Damon cannot seem to keep their hands off of each other. No two scenes were exactly the same, or similar for that matter, which really held my interest. Again, noticing the role the BDSM played in the scenes as the book went along made it very enjoyable to read.

I actually got a smiley, warm, fuzzy feeling at the end of the book, especially with the epilogue. I was hoping this story would have an uber-happy ending, and by golly it did. I could not have imagined a better way to leave Alayna and Damon.

I would absolutely, without a doubt, read ANYTHING written by Scarlet Wolfe!

(As a side note, the trailer for this trilogy is AWESOME!)

Alayna and Damon....

I loved this trilogy!! I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between these two is amazing. I don't want to include any spoilers so I think that I can only say that this is a must read. It is refreshing to read a story that includes a female main character that is a strong woman who is willing to go into battle to be with the man she loves. Thank you yet again Scarlet Wolfe.

I love Goodreads but there's one thing that i hate.. why there isn't an option of a trillion stars? If there's is one, even that wouldn't be enough to rate this book!
If you're fan of Fifty shades of gray, Bared to you, This man, or every other million stars, bestselling, heartbreaking, panties melting book, than with One urge trilogy you're in for a threat cause this book has it all in one!

What i loved about this book is that slow introduction between the characters. It was lust on first sight, but love came slow, unexpected. It was real from the first to the last word. Many of us, while reading a book, identified themselves with characters, wishing to be on their place. ( i sooooo wanted to be in Alayna's place haha )

Damon is man damaged by his past and actions by other people. He's the man that swears of love and goes through his life without it, with occasional sex with unimportant women. Alayna is a woman that was burned but not damaged. She know the pain, the suffer, but in the same time she's full of a positive energy, full of love to share. I won't retail this story for you, cause what's the point? I will just say that this book worth's every penny!


description


There was that emptiness in their life, that missing peace. When they meet, on their friends wedding, two hearts started beating again.

description


And the sex. OMG! The sex! I've read a lot of hot books, with great sex, but in this one, even i blush sometimes. It wasn't boring, it wasn't typical with already used phrases. No, it was honest, it was direct, mind blowing and filled with caring, with that feeling that was foreign to both of them until that moment when their paths collided.

description


description



description



Their love is unusual. With every Damon's bite, Alayna's love grew. With every Alayna's sassy comment, Damon was more tied to her. They're perfect mix of cold, hot, smart, smarter, stubborn, stubborner. There was a lot of "first" for them, that things that you get to experience just with your soul mate.

description


There wasn't that hard angst, that creepy feeling that suffocate the readers. There was ups and downs but let me tell you, i loved when Alayna messed up cause i know that her punishment was my reward :D ( you'll know what i mean, don't worry ;) )

description

All in all, i had a great time reading, i'll definitely read it again and i'll for sure harass all my friends into reading cause i wanna this great feeling after reading that's settled inside of me to share with my friends!

I read the paperback and i loved the size of a book (although it was damn heavy, my hand hurts :D ) , loved how was edited, loved that chapters were short and when you finish one you can't wait to star the next one.
It really holds attention cause when you have huge chapters you get kinda lost. Well thank God that wasn't the case here.

And now, i feel the need to tell you something about the author. Scarlet Wolfe is one of the kindest person that i get to meet. She's a kind a girl that stays firmly on the ground. She's kind, well-wishing, charitable, big-hearted, good-natured, unselfish and one huge sweetheart! I fell so honored that i know her, even via Internet.
Thank you Scarlet, for sharing this great story with us and i can't wait for the next book. I have a feeling that'll blow my mind once again!

I loved this Trilogy.

One Urge (One Urge, One Plea, Keep Me Trilogy #1) :

I loved this book. Alayna and Damon met are their friends' wedding. Damon is instantly attracted to Alayna. Alayna is attracted to him to but she doesn't give into him. But three months later, she is stuck at the airport and Damon comes to save her. They end up spending days snowed in together in Damon's penthouse. Their days in the penthouse are hot and steamy.
One Urge is told in the dual POVs of Damon and Alayna. I love books that are written in dual POVs. One Urge made it more enjoyable to read with the two POVs.
Damon is still a mystery. He doesn't like Alayna touching him. We don't get to find out all his deep dark secrets and the book but you know he has some.
I loved the ending. It was the perfect way to end part one of Alayna and Damon's story.

One Plea (One Urge, One Plea, Keep Me Trilogy #2) :

One Plea in the second book in One Urge, One Plea, Keep Me Trilogy. It can not be read as a standalone, you must read One Urge first. I loved the first book, One Urge and was excited to start One Plea. One Plea is an awesome continuation of Alyana and Damon's story. I actually liked this one a little more than the first one. One plea is written in the POVs of Alyana and Damon.
When this story starts it's a couple weeks after One Urge ends. Both Damon and Alyana have missed each other. Alyana heads back to New York for a visit. Damon crosses her path and sparks explode. Of course when Damon and Alyana get together there will be hot and steamy scenes.
We learn a little more about Damon is in this story. He allows Alyana to touch his hair but if she does he gets to do something back to her. We still don;t get to know all of Damon's secrets but we find out that he got some buried in the past that are forcing themselves out to the present.
I know this is a novella but I wanted more. I wasn't ready for it to end, I so glad we can we more of Alyana and Damon is Keep Me. The ending is really sweet. It's not a major cliffhanger but it definitely leaves you wanting more.

Keep Me (One Urge, One Plea, Keep Me Trilogy #3) :

I loved Keep Me. I loved One Urge and One Plea but Keep Me is the best one in the series. Keep Me is the third book in the One Urge, One Plea, Keep Me Trilogy. It is not a standalone. You must read One Urge and One Plea first.
Keep Me starts where One Plea left off. At the end of One plea Alyana says some stuff t Damon, when she thinks he is sleeping. We find out that Damon was not actually sleeping. I was glad we finally get to find out what Damon has been keeping a secret. Wow, his secrets, where nothing that I had expected. There are a lot of unexpected twists in this one.
Alyana again proves how strong of a character she is. With all the bumps in the road for Damon and Alyana, we still get the hot steamy scenes that only Damon and Alyana can give us.
I loved the ending. It's the perfect way to end the series. Although I won't mind reading more of Damon and Alyana.

The One Urge, One Plea, Keep Me Trilogy is one of the best series I have read. I definitely recommend it.

One Plea- Damon and Alayna meet at a friends wedding and share an intense attraction. Alayna is a sweet woman with beautiful red curly hair. Damon is dominating and likes things kinky so decides to keep his distance, until they meet a few months later...

I really liked Alayna a very real woman, I was a bit peeved she caved so quickly and said I'd do whatever you like, but after lots of sex you could see Damon softening on his side, but still dominant, so that works for me. I don't like it when give is all one sided.

Can two people with different ideas on life be together long term who knows! I do know It's a shame the airport reopened lol.

I can't wait to start next book.




One urge - Oh my Damon, what are you hiding!

I loved this installment of the trilogy, it was great watching these two characther's get closer. I do have issues with Damon and his biting and Alayna taking it, but as soon as it bothers me, the matter is dealt with! Very clever Scarlet Wolfe.

Along with the hot sex, which I have to say isn't stretched to far, it's great actually, there's a lot going on in this part. Needless to say Damon has security in place to protect what he cares for. I'm so desperate for him to say *love*.

I'm really enjoying the characther development, Damon is mellowing *slightly* he still wants to be in control, but his showing a softer side. Alayna is still the same sweet girl, just liking things a bit kinkier, but she's so independent and strong and yes she needs and wants him to want her but at the same time you know she'd be ok on her own - Take note Damon!

Will be reading Keep me ASAP.

Loving this couple.


Keep Me - The final part of Damon and Alayna's story, it will keep you hooked!

Damon needs to come clean with Alayna, sooner than he planned. His big secret, wasn't as big as I expected (maybe I read too much lol) so in a way I wondered why he hid it. As its all let out these two have to do lots of talking, is that possible though Damon cant keep his hands off Alayna - not that she minds.

What I really liked in this part is how they got closer, Damon grew softer, In a way Damon growing softer meant he was either Damon or Sir and I'm not sure which side i prefer. Maybe I'm like Alayna and like both his sides ;)

So the sex gets steamier, the emotions get deeper and then people get in the way and cause hassle.....

As a couple they compliment each other, Alayna brings out Damon's softer side, were as Damon makes Alayna stronger, which is evident in this book. I'm also doing a virtual high five to Alayna for a few of her actions in this book, go girl!

So how many places can these two get intimate in? The sex is hot, yes it's BDSM most of the time but Alayna is really into submitting to Damon now and she gets some great rewards for it! She is not submissive out of the bedroom though and never will be, as Damon says she's Maddening, personally I think she's an awesome characther.

If you like your book boyfriends rich, sexy and dominant you must give this a read.

Epilogue.... ❤️

Five sexy dominant stars.

Wow, I can't believe how great this series was!!

Scarlet did great and besides it being erotic there was also a plot to this story. It wasn't all just about sex. Don't get me wrong, there was a LOT of sex in here but there was more to this story than just them having sex :)

Alayna and Damon were one hot couple. She was afraid to let anyone in after her seven year relationship ended. She always thought that Michael was going to propose and it turns out he didn't. He even went as far as call her names and put her down. So Alayna didn't believe in men and didn't want to let anyone in.....until she meets Damon.

Quote: Damon is a "wealthy, powerful, demanding, controlling and possessive man". I could deal with all those in the same order :). I mean, who wouldn't want a man with all those qualities right!

Alayna didn't think she had it in her to be submissive but when she starts seeing Damon their sex is not no vanilla. Damon doesn't do vanilla (boring!) He likes to dominate and he does it with Alayna. She doesn't care if he hurts her, she actually likes it.

I'm sorry but one thing is to be dominant but another is to be too hard and boy Alayna would not budge and would not use her safe word because as much as it got painful, she loved it, the pain turned her on like nothing else.

"The marks I leave on your skin are the evidence of both my relentless desire for you and the moments when my mouth and hands bind us."

Damon has a pretty dark past and he's been hiding it for a very long time. He doesn't want it to come out in the limelight and he definitely doesn't want Alayna to find out about it because he's afraid she'll run. Damon has realized that in the short period that they have been together, he just can't live without her and he doesn't want to lose her.

Things get a little complicated and Damon's secrets come out. Will Alayna stay with him, will she forgive him for not being honest with her from the beginning?

This series is one you don't want to miss out on. I'm telling you, this trilogy was awesome!!

Total 5 stars for me. I just couldn't find myself to put it down once i started it and it was well worth me putting everything else aside, even my work!!

I received this for an honest review. This was one of those books I like to call bad mommy books. Once I picked this book I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!! I fell in love with the characters and the story. I absolutely enjoyed every minute of this book. Damon and Alayna were perfect together. This book had everything you want in a book. Hot dominating man (Damon), Feisty female lead (Alayna). It had angst, hot steamy sex, a great freaking story line. I absolutely loved and thought it was perfect. I am becoming a HUGE fan of this author she just blows me away with her books... This is one you do not want to pass up...

I loved this trilogy. It's brilliant. I'm so happy that I read these as a trilogy so I could jump from one book to the next. Loved them.

Alayna, like Damon is not looking for a relationship. Both have been hurt in the past and don't want to get hurt again. When they meet at a friends wedding they feel the chemistry. Even though they part ways fate wants these two together.

Two strong characters. Suspense and mystery. Bdsm. Hot steamy scenes. Great storyline. This book has it all. If these interest you then I highly recommend this story. I loved the trilogy.

Wow this was a crazy wild ride Scarlet takes us on with Erotica Author Damon Lear and Romance Writer Alayna Wynn. Two very different people in this three book journey that really kept me hooked right up to the very end. Some mystery and lots of steamy sexy heat made for a great read. Definitely recommend this one to anyone looking for a little adventure.

This series is hot with a capital H! It starts off innocently enough with Alayna agreeing to travel to New York to be in a friend’s wedding. While at the rehearsal dinner she meets the uber sexy alpha, Damon. This is when things really start to heat up. Damon declares his intentions right off the bat. He wants Alayna and will have her. Alayna is leery of men ever since her ex boyfriend left her broken hearted. Damon also has a secret in his past that won’t let his commit to a serious relationship. Things don’t pan out quite the way Damon wants but a few months later he gets another opportunity with the gun shy Alayna. He plays the knight in shining armor when a snow storm threatens to leave her stranded at the airport for days on end. The pair end up at Damon’s apartment and you guessed it. The storm holds them hostage. Two people who are immensely attracted to each other forced to inhabit the same apartment while mother nature wreaks her havoc. What could possibly happen? Alayna finds herself wanting Damon more than she imagined possible and Damon finds himself falling deeper and deeper for the allusive Alayna and he will stop at nothing to show her how sensual, white hot and explosive their BDSM relationship could be. You will definitely need a fan while reading this story. There is this incredible buildup of tension as Damon and Alayna play a cat and mouse game with each other. You just know that when they finally get together it is going to be scorching hot. I really enjoyed how Damon and Alayna played off each other. Alayna is smart and sassy and doesn’t bow down to Damon’s wishes.. She is strong and defiant which makes him want her even more. But Damon has secrets. Big secrets that threaten to destroy everything that he holds close- including Alayna. If you like your stories steamy, then this is the perfect trilogy for you. This novella could not possibly pack any more sexual tension within its pages. The author writes with such a clear voice that you can practically feel the heat coming from this book. Being the first in the trilogy, you know that there is going to be a cliffhanger. On to book two.

Book two starts off with Alayna having returned to her home. She is struggling internally with the control that she has given Damon in their relationship and needs time to re-evaluate her situation. Alayna’s leaving throws Damon into a tail spin. He reverts back to his former lifestyle. All the while wanting and missing Alayna more than ever. This book while still sexy, had more of an emotional pull for me. These characters are filled with longing, desire, pain, jealousy and maybe even love. I love the fact that these emotions are what make Damon determined to win back Alayna. If book one was hot, then book 2 should be considered nuclear. After the sexy pair reunite, the heat factor gets multiplied .You can feel Alayna and Damon characters change as their relationship changes and this adds so much to the story. Damon’s secrets play an even bigger part in this book. He will stop at nothing to protect Alayna even if it destroys himself. Scarlet Wolfe did an amazing job at keeping the intensity, tension and sexiness as high if not higher than the first book. One Plea left me wanting more, more , more.

Everything is going Damon’s way in the finale of this trilogy. He has Alayna and their relationship continues to evolve as they fall even deeper for each other. Alayna finds herself enjoying the darker sexual side of their relationship and grows bolder and braver with the sensual side of herself. But even as the pair are riding their wave of sexual bliss, everything implodes. There is danger everywhere. Damon’s secrets explode and wreak havoc in their lives. Problems begin to multiply as exes reappear and secrets are revealed. Damon finds himself falling in ways that he never believed he could for Alayna but the danger surrounding them forces him to do everything he can to protect her. This book not only showcases the struggle between Damon and his past but also the Alayna and Damon’s struggle for control of their relationship. This novella was the perfect way to end this trilogy. Everything that I loved so much about the first two releases in amped up in Keep Me. This book left me breathless, over heated, and tense. Keep Me if the perfect culmination of sex, love and danger. I could not recommend this trilogy enough. If you like your books on the kinky side, a la, Fifty Shades of Grey, etc. then I know that you will love this series. 5 out of 5 stars for the entire series.

A friend's wedding is always a good excuse to set up a romance against all odds.

First reviewed on Literaria sede-literaria.blogspot.com

In this scenario, two authors spark up the hottest attraction when they cross paths that are seemingly incompatible. Alayna is still hurting from a past relationship that left her insecure. Damon is a John Wayne-silent type too gorgeous to resist, and harbours a secret that lurks in his reason to write erotica.

With alternating perspectives from male and female points of view, a fast writing style and sexual tension to melt the ice caps, this three-part novel got me perked from the start.

I was all excited about the snow storm that pushed this unpredicted couple together. They had hit it off on their first encounter, but she was hesitant to give in to an arrogant womanizer. He, on the other hand, thought her too vanilla to withstand his devious taste in sensual matters. Weather smiles on his wild side, the cheeky devil. I loved it!

The first part was a sex-fest filled with wanting and denying and daring. They crave each other, can't have enough but Damon keeps rejecting Alayna on an emotional level because he's all about pleasure but no real connections.

I felt for Alayna because how can she not fall for someone so intense? He unravels her inside and out. It ends on a dramatic note that made me hot for the second part.

After their tumultuous, short-lived affair, Damon does pretty wild things to convince Alayna they belong together. He's quite rough in the lovemaking department which can be a huge turn-on or a bit daunting. You choose.

Anyway, it's all very exhilarating as Damon shows a new world of pleasure and pain to Alayna, and she tries to give it a chance for the man she's irrevocably becoming addicted to.
The plot starts to turn even darker when an outside threat infiltrates their burgeoning relationship. There is plenty of misunderstandings and angst between them to make the flow of the story juicy and the make-up afterwards exciting.

He wants her to submit to him and have control over everything. What I liked the most is that she puts up a fight on the emotional side even though she yields to his ways in the bedroom. Perfect combination of sexy and challenging.

When the final part begins, we've already had a glimpse of the dangerous secret that's haunting Damon. It's really interesting and kept me wondering after every tiny bit I was being fed. Also, the connection between the two writers is slowly but intensely getting stronger. A bond born out of hard sex and harder emotions.

So this big secret explodes in Damon's face in the ugliest manner. I relished how angrily scared he is of losing Alayna, and how loyal she is but still has strong beliefs which she proves in several occasions such as when they hook up in the car before the first big talk. Oh, the sexy times are so, so good.

Lots of drama and deep-felt gestures fill this novella as Damon and Alayna's love is tested again and again. I'm very satisfied with this novel. Despite being confused sometimes by not indentifying who has talking in the dialogues, the rest is highly compelling. Honestly, this trilogy ends with a deluge or romance and volcanic bedroom moments. A good, daringly hot romance.

Alayna Wynn may be a successful romance novelist but the love on her pages doesn't translate to love in real life. A humiliating break up has left Alayna with no self confidence and dreading her best friend's wedding. All hopes of hiding during the festivities are lost when Alayna spots a tall dark gladiator of a man who won't stop staring her down. This man is out of her league but something about him makes her want to learn how to play.

Damon Lear doesn't do romance, he does sex. The kind of sex that would send a sweet vanilla romance writer running. The head of an internationally respected publishing house and a successful erotica author in his own right, Damon gets what he wants and what he wants is the curvy redhead who looks like she's afraid he may eat her alive. She can run but he's got a plan to catch her... and then tie her to his bed.

What I Loved: If you're a fan of sexy alpha male billionaires with dark and shady pasts who also happen to have a fondness for BDSM - you are going to love this trilogy. I started reading thinking I was only going to read the first section but once I started reading I couldn't put One Urge, One Plea, Keep Me down. Alayna and Damon have great chemistry and getting both of their POV's really added to the build and intensity of their relationship. Alayna may be innocent when the story begins but I was caught by her spunk. Author Scarlet Wolfe does a great job portraying a grown woman entering into a BDSM relationship but maintains her independence and self-worth.

What I Didn't Love: If you're a fan of sexy alpha male billionaires with dark and shady pasts who also happen to have a fondness for BDSM (I know that's repeated from the What I Loved section) there may be parts of the story that feel a little too familiar. I found myself comparing to FSOG, Crossfire Series, This Man Series. As I loved those books, this is just a small nitpick.

Favorite Quotes:

"Sculpt my body into what you see in your mind... into what you desire. Paint me with marks, bruises and bites. Please, Damon, do whatever you crave... what you need to keep only wanting me."

"I want you to know that this ominous cloud following you every day, it doesn't have to be there, and I'll stand under it with you until you believe."

"Damn Lear is a taker of souls. My body is a smoldering fire when he's near, and the vivid thoughts of him possess my mind."


Overall One Urge, One Plea, Keep Me Trilogy is a spicy little number that I greatly enjoyed. The story has a solid balance of warm fuzzies with its ton of OMG moments. If you like your romance a little on the wild side, One Urge, One Plea, Keep Me Trilogy is a must read. I will definitely be checking out more of author Scarlet Wolfe's work.

Happy reading.

*I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review*

Alayna is overcoming a seven year relationship that was more of a waste of time. Two years after the romance ended has her experiencing “writer’s block” in her career. Being a Contemporary Romance author is very hard when you don’t have any romance to write about. However, being in her best friend’s wedding will change Alayna’s life forever.

“You’ll die when you see him. I mean, he is heart stopping gorgeous. As far as I know, he doesn’t have a girlfriend, and let me tell you, it’s a waste of the most perfect genes.” Felicia fans herself. “No joke, Alayna. You wait and see.”

Damon Lear is running from his past while trying to keep his business successful. Being an Erotica author and running a publishing business does have some trying times, but he knows exactly what he wants in life and Alayna does not have a submissive bone in her body from what he can tell.

“Minutes of tongues caressing and breaths sharing sizzling space isn’t enough to satiate my new craving, and it’s the alarming thought that has me desperately pulling away. Damon’s mouth brushes my ear.”

“Until we meet again, which we will, remember how wet you are at this precise moment…remember what I do to you, Alayna.” He plants one kiss to my bare neck before pushing off the wall and walking away.

Arrogant Bastard.

I absolutely loved this trilogy. Alayna knows that she wants more out of life and Damon just knows what she needs. This is not just your typical Dom and Sub story. Damon has to teach her everything and bring her into the lifestyle slowly. But when hearts get involved and Damon’s past comes back to haunt him and his family he will stop at nothing to protect his relationship.

My Favorite Moment: I love when Alayna gets arrested. Now that shows some true love.

“Jail sucks. The whole experience is humiliating, my wrist hurts, and I have a strong suspicion that I’ll prefer jail over my brother’s shouting and Damon’s hand that will surely light my ass up red.”

My Favorite Laughable Moment: Alayna just thought she could go on a date with another man.

“You can walk out of here or be carried out, but I’m not taking no for an answer. Admit that you want me.”

“Fine, I want you. I want to go back to your place, but it doesn’t change anything.”

“Like hell it doesn’t. You just made it clear that it’s not kidnapping when I do this.” In a split second, I have her hoisted over my shoulder. She lets out a squeal, drawing the attention of the patrons at the table closest to the hallway. I march us right through the middle of the restaurant.”
