Reuben is more than happy with his job as the manager of the House of Lustz, Nashville’s premier BDSM club. He’s helped the owner, Mikhail, create the perfect environment to let go and explore fantasies. And where Reuben can satisfy his needs when he’s not on the clock.
Despite his wonderful life, Reuben finds himself out of sorts. Recently, playing ends up with him meeting his submissive’s needs, but not his own. He finds he envies his friends Mikhail, Hoss, and even Carver for finding women with whom they can indulge in everything and build a permanent relationship that includes love.
Reuben has been searching for a long time for that special person. He doesn’t need his large family adding to the pressure. However, in their case, they want him to quit the BDSM lifestyle, settle down with a nice woman, and have some kids. Reuben wants that too, but without giving up a huge part of himself to do it. His kink is more than a passing fancy.
One night at Lustz, Reuben notes a woman being harassed by another patron. He intercedes and ends up spending time with Cristiana and his friends. That meeting leaves both of them obsessing over the other and having wild, sexy dreams. Reuben is determined to see Cristiana again. Except when he does, she’s surrounded by Doms vying to make her theirs. That doesn’t sit well with Reuben’s Dom tendencies. He wants her for himself and won’t share her with anyone else.
That is the start of the turbulent ride that Reuben and Cristiana take to be together. They have not just his family to battle, but hers as well. Throw in an annoying patron who doesn’t want to take no for an answer and a darker danger from Cristiana’s past. One who is the reason she moved to Nashville to start over.
See how this pleasure Dom finds a forever love with someone who can mutually quench the fires that burn in both of them. Discover just what a pleasure Dom brings to the table. You may be surprised by what you learn.
Welcome to the House of Lustz, where carnality, passion, and love unite. Enter at your own risk and prepare to be forever changed.
It drags on and on without anything happening, & I didn’t like either of the mc’s.
I think I’m going to give up on this series. I haven’t enjoyed any of them and this one was sooo boring. It’s supposed to be about The house of Lustz yet they spent ONE NIGHT THERE as a couple. Then they only had vanilla s*x.
For the first nearly 25% both Reuben and Tiana both like each other but they think the other one doesn’t. 🥱 So we have whole pages of Tiana cleaning the bathroom! 🫤 I’m not interested. Then when they finally get together Tiana is constantly thinking he’s too good for her, and she doesn’t tell him about a problem she had with a man in her home town, as he’ll get bored of her. The s*x scenes are endless and boring, and there’s only one tiny scene that Reuben is actually a dom and it’s ridiculous.
Then there’s the family drama. 🙄🙄🙄 If you know that your family are really strict catholics and they already disapprove of you working in the club, WHY TELL THEM WHERE YOU MET??? Tiana says she doesn’t want to lie to them as it’s being dishonest, yet her family doesn’t know!!! So his family are really angry and call her names, and to be honest it’s silly. Even at the end of the book they hadn’t made it up. Then they decide they should tell her family, at her parents WEDDING ANNIVERSARY DINNER, and they aren’t happy either because they’re also strict catholics. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I’m beginning to think they’re both idiots.
There’s a tiny bit of drama at the end of the book and it’s really o.t.t.
I’m sorry as I love this authors Mc series, and the OSheerans but this series really isn’t good. One last complaint and I’ll shut up. I HATE CAT, and her being a ‘brat’ in the hospital was awful.
Just about everything is right about Reuben’s Allurement (House of Lustz Book 4) by Ciara St. James. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of antagonism within that will have you gasping in outrage and cheering on the uncompromising love, devotion, and defense of Reuben, Cristiana, and their lifestyle choice. Cristiana is cautious, rightly so, and Reuben picks up on that immediately. Like a good Dom, he understands what she needs and approaches her in kind, but leaving no doubts about his hope for the future with her. These two are hot. The chemistry is off the charts and feeds each other’s needs as though they’ve known each other for years. Even better, Reuben tries to take his time, move slowly, but Cristiana moves things along! Good for her taking what she wants, right? Once their relationship, including the D/s elements, they begin to explore meeting each other’s families. This is where the crazy starts and doesn’t let up for some time. Reuben and Cristiana have strife coming at them from multiple angles, but the friends who are more like family at The House of Lustz, have their backs and keep them safe emotionally and physically. Overall, this is not just another BDSM romance. Although, this aspect of their story is combustible and compelling all on it’s own. There’s suspense, emotional turmoil, and the peace of found family in here too. All of it together makes for a fantastic read.

Since meeting Reuben in the first House of Lustz story I've always wanted to get more of him- and let's be real all of the other characters that have been introduced. This was a perfect edition to the House of Lustz series!
Reuben is the manager at Mikhail's club and has seen many of his friends find their one and fall hard and fast. He finds himself wanting more and unsatisfied with the routine he has had, he wants to find his one. Reuben thinks that he's found that when a chance encounter with Cristina happens- she's trying to get away from the unwanted attention of another patron.
He's instantly attracted to her and wants to get to know her better. Cristina is leery of jumping into a relationship because of her past, but Reuben being the Dom he is recognizes that and approaches her in kind. He sees a future with her and makes it known.
The chemistry between the two is off the charts and they feed and meet each other's needs as if they have been in a committed relationship for years.
Will past problems and prejudices of their loved ones tear them apart? Or will Reuben and Tiana overcome prejudices of their families?
I have been waiting on Reuben's book and he didn't disappoint in any way! He and Cristiana were such a wonderful couple. Cristiana has had a traumatic experience in the community but she hasn't let it stop her from seeking a partner who completes her. All she really wants is for her man to fulfill her every need and do the same for him. She relocated to get some distance from her family and the man who bruised her trust. Reuben is surrounded by happy couples and really wants the same for himself. When he meets Cristiana, he is bowled over by his attraction to her. They go through so much together, danger and family issues; it was a wild ride to their happy ever after! Can't wait to see who falls next!
I’ve been waiting for this book to drop & it didn’t disappoint. Before I get into the book. Let’s talk about these book covers. Cause they’re fire! They so alluring & sexy. Keep them coming.
Now let’s get into the book. Love reading about a delicious Spanish man. Cristina didn’t disappoint either her and Reuben brought the fire to bedroom. Several men had eyes for her. But she only had eyes for one man…. Reuben. You can read as a stand alone but I suggest you read in order. Mikhail’s Playhouse is the 1st book in this series. Each book introduces you to a New kink pleasure. Have fun playing…
This series will teach you something new in every book and won't leave you disappointed. Reuben has been feeling restless lately and doesn't realize what's causing it until he lays eyes on Tiana and soon realizes he's met his perfect match in and out of the club. Tiana and Reuben soon learn that their families aren't happy or supportive of their relationship. This book delivers drama and sadness with family that treat you and those you love poorly. Throw in some drama with Tianas' ex, and you get another great addition to the series.
Reuben's Allurement is the 'dom'inating force in Ciara St. James' House of Lustz series! With its expertly woven blend of romance, suspense, and emotional depth, this book will have you 'bound' to your seat from start to finish. Reuben and Cristiana's relationship is the perfect 'match' of passion and devotion, and their Dom/Sub dynamic is both 'disciplined' and 'delicious'. Don't miss out on this 'kinky' romance that will leave you 'begging' for more!
Reuben and Tiana are two great characters and Ciara does an amazing job of her readers being able to picture what is going on. There is angst throughout, but another amazing read.
It is difficult to tell Hispanic parents about your personal life. I’m a first generation American and I swore to myself that my kids could come to me with anything without fear. Thank you for your creative mind. Can’t wait for the next one and your others as well.
What a great Series. House of Lustz has a surprise in each couple. It’s Reuben’s turn now and he’s found the perfect lady. No spoilers, but you won’t regret reading this book. And if you haven’t read the series, start with Mikhal!!!
