Vegas

Burnout #4.5

by Dahlia West

When Abby Raines moved to Rapid City, South Dakota she was gambling for a chance to live out her dreams. She hit the jackpot and now has the swankiest hotel and the hottest boyfriend in the state, but she's still not completely satisfied. She's doubling down on a future with the only man who makes her weak in the knees (when she's not kneeling on them), the only man she'd ever call 'Sir.'

Warning: light on kink, heavy on D/s, M/F, F/F, F/M/F, group sex, voyeurism. If you liked Tex (Burnout 2) you'll like Vegas (Burnout 4.5). If you did not like "Tex", "Vegas" is just more of the same.

"Vegas" is a standalone story and does not need to be read in order to enjoy the rest of the series.

I've read a few BDSM romances but these 2 in this series honestly had things I've never read in one of them. This was pretty short and unfortunately just wasn't my cuppa

I have no problem with my h experimenting with ow within the BDSM lifestyle but it's a no no for my H. In this case another woman helped Abby learn to deep throat Tex and she sucked his balls. Then he fisted the OW. To him it wasn't exactly sexual more a lesson for Abby, for me however my man's hand in someone's vagina is sexual. That's a me issue however. Abby thankfully didn't have sexual contact with any men.

Then at the end of this one Abby proposes, this may work in these modern times but it unfortunately doesn't work for me.

Because these were all me issues and not the book I'm not going to leave a rating

Still do not like Tex. He takes to much advantage of Abby and "pushes" her boundaries to suit him, not caring how he humiliates her. Making her have sex in front of people because she is uncomfortable and he's going to show her who is boss and of course Abby still has no self respect for herself, she thinks this is the only way a man will love her. In the Tex book he treated her like a dog knowing she was new to his lifestyle, because she pissed him off? What Dom does this to someone who does not know the rules ? Out of anger? He broke her, she is beyond repair and this from a man who has a physc degree. He is one sick SOB. How do you love someone and do this to them? Like letting other men see her. She has a job where she needs respect and what if these men or women who watch this come in the Hotel and realize who she is? I get must in this lifestyle keep a low profile but that 25% who get off on telling all don't. Yea, Yea this life style is about keeping things quiet yea get real it don't always work that way. This man who respects other women has no respect for Abby.

Tex and Vegas and more

Mark finally upset if the way Abby sees herself as not to sexy or measuring up to other women takes things up a notch. Then Abby decided also she needs more. Great insight to an already great couple.

first read this series three years ago. loved it then, still very much enjoying it this time round.
not so much mc but the guys are a brotherhood, the survivors of an army ranger team who faced the worst horrors of war, and their bikes are important to them .. they accept themselves as bikers but Shooter was brought up in a 1%er club and never wanted that particular conditioning but accepted the good of that lifestyle and encompassed it with his team on their return home. a tight knit group that find strength and give strength to each other.
lots of triggers for various types of abuse so those who are affected by that type of storyline should avoid the series.
great alpha males ... sassy, quirky females who have great inner strengths. romances you can't help but love.
very well written, with continuing storylines behind the romances.
this one didn't quite rate 5 stars as it was pretty much just an isolated piece of Abby & Tex' life and was quite short without anything else happening

Warning: BDSM theme again.

Couple of things about this book. The cover would have been better suited for Hawk and Tildy although I understand why she used it. Secondly, this book was hot and cold for me as I hoped it would be more about her background but it wasn't. It was getting her more comfortable with her body, which Included a trip to a swingers club so she could watch and the she could be seen. There were sweet moments in this book all due to Abby. Tex is very sexual and it shows all the time. Not the biggest fan of this book but like it because it is in the series. There is a huge event in this book that you will have to read it to find out about.

Book 4.5 of Burntout by Dahlia West
Abby 'Vegas' is living her HEA with mark. This book just continues from the last and just follows mark and Abby's submissive training. This book is better then their main book Tex because there's not a lot of Mark and Abby training and more Mark getting Abby relaxed about possible public display of affection.
Abby expresses herself a lot more in this book and experiment with ff and ffm in a BDSM club.
Only 49 pages so really quick book.

Love me some Ms West

There are some things that I buy without thinking; a bottle of Beefeater Gin, gas for my car, and anything by Dahlia West. It's just a little snippet of Vegas and Mark, but it's good and it made me happy and, honestly that's all I need in my reading material.

[Fernando Muñoz · Rating 1 out of 5]

En esta ocasión, mis preferencias personales se impusieron sobre el contenido narrativo del libro, ya que como la historia se trata del mundo BDSM y una relación amo-esclavo, no me pareció un buen contenido. Mi opinión es debido a mis gustos personales, por lo que no recuerdo el contenido, solamente que no fue de mi agrado.

Posiblemente, quien tenga más afinidad por este tipo de contenido lo encuentre de mejor calidad. Yo me quedo con mi experiencia, sin emitir una recomendación en esta ocasión.

Sexy

This was a nice little added bonus to Tex and Abby's story. It's hot and sexy. I really like this series.

Mark and Abby are finding their way in their relationship. Abby is still self-conscious and does not feel beautiful. Mark gets frustrated with her self-image issues and decides to do something about it. This book was not one of my favorites so take the Dahlia West's warnings seriously. It was not for the faint of heart and the D/s relationship was difficult for me to read and comprehend. Her whole wanting to please him all the time and finding pleasure wearing her play collar was too much for me personally. His solution to getting her to realize she was beautiful was not what I would have considered nor would have been okay being done to me. Both characters were well written in their roles but not my cup of tea.

3.5 stars
Nook freebie. A quick little story which you can tell is apart of a series but still okay (in my opinion) to read alone.
A couple quick scenes of sex in different venues with some toys, bondage and impact instruments, also anal plugs used. A fem fisting with a little voyeurism and exhibitionism also something to look forward to.
So boils down to a wide selection of kinky fun for this couple.

[Carol · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love this series and the author. With this novella you get Mark, Abby and a little kink. As with all the books in the series Mark is a yummy alpha male who likes to crack the whip so to speak. Abby likes to being on the receiving end of the crack!
Things heat up between them and takes their relationship to a new level. This book for me could have been a 5 star but I'm just not into the girl on girl action so that affected my rating.
Overall an easy read.

[Angie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not my thing, but I enjoy Tex and Vegas. They have a sweet story.

**I appreciate the trigger warnings by this author. I enjoy Ms. West's writing but will skip this particular book.
