Bliss Series #2
Unforgettable You
For Sheila, a lie is a deal-breaker. But what if it’s not a lie? What if it’s just not the whole truth?
Being a popular Dom at the nicest BDSM club in town would be the top of the mountain for lots of guys, but for Steffen Cothran, it’s meant heartache. He lost someone he thought he might be able to have a future with to his best friend when Trish Stinson and Clint Winstead patched things up. He knows he wants a relationship, but so far he’s had trouble finding that one person, the one he knows he's meant to be with, to make that happen.
That all changes when Trish and Clint walk into the club with Trish’s best friend, Sheila Brewster. Even though he's met her, he never really had much contact with her. But Clint has a plan: He’s looking for a Dom to protect Sheila in case her abusive ex-boyfriend manages to get paroled. And Clint happens to think that Steffen is a great candidate for that position.
Steffen and Sheila’s relationship starts casually and quickly grows into a promising romance. But one question makes all the difference, and when Steffen doesn’t lie but doesn’t tell the whole truth with his answer, Sheila’s left wondering if she can ever trust anyone again. And when Steffen’s little omission shows up on his doorstep in full-blown chaos, the relationship he’d had such high hopes for is shattered, possibly forever.
In the aftermath, Sheila sets a course for self-destruction that turns out to be more dangerous than anyone could’ve imagined. With no one to blame but himself, Steffen finds it hard to help a woman who won’t have anything to do with him.
Two broken hearts. One huge mistake. A few really bad choices. And a lifetime of pain if things can’t be righted. It may be impossible to mend the broken trust, and their love could be lost forever.
The second in the Me, You, and Us series following Adventurous Me, Steffen’s story in Unforgettable You is funny, smart, sweet, kinky hot, and heartbreaking. It’s a tale of what happens when you forget that there’s not a lot of difference between a lie and a partial truth, and what love really means when two people belong together.

Full Review on my blog!
Unforgettable You, the second book in the Bliss series by Deanndra Hall, is a captivating read that delves deep into the complex world of BDSM relationships. In this book, the author introduces us to Sheila, a character we met in the first book as Trish Stinson's best friend, and Steffan Cothran, a well-known BDSM Dom who we also met in the first book.
The book begins with Sheila feeling curious about the BDSM lifestyle that her best friend, Trish, is living with her husband, Clint. Trish and Clint decide to introduce Sheila to their lifestyle and Steffan, who is Clint's best friend and a skilled Dom, is tasked with introducing Sheila to this world. From the moment Sheila and Steffan meet, there is an instant attraction between them. As they begin to explore their desires, they realize they have a deep connection, and soon a romantic relationship blooms between them.
What makes Unforgettable You stand out from other BDSM romance novels is the depth of the characters and their individual stories. Both Sheila and Steffan are complex characters with a lot of baggage from their pasts that they must confront. Sheila has been hurt in the past and finds it difficult to trust anyone, while Steffan has a secret from his past that threatens to tear them apart.
The author does an excellent job of developing the characters throughout the book. Sheila's character is strong and independent, and she knows what she wants from her relationship with Steffan. However, she is also vulnerable, and the author explores her insecurities and fears in a realistic and relatable way. Steffan's character is equally complex, and the author does an excellent job of revealing his vulnerability and the reasons behind his actions. The chemistry between Sheila and Steffan is electric, and the sex scenes in the book are incredibly steamy. However, what sets Unforgettable You apart from other BDSM romance novels is that the sex scenes are not the main focus of the story. The author explores the emotional connection between Sheila and Steffan, and how trust and honesty are essential components of any BDSM relationship.
One of the most significant themes in the book is the importance of communication and honesty in a relationship. Sheila and Steffan's relationship is put to the test when Steffan's past comes back to haunt him. However, they navigate the difficult situation by being honest with each other, and their relationship becomes even stronger as a result.
Unforgettable You was a good addition to the series. I enjoyed it much more than the first. This was a powerful love story that explores the complexities of BDSM relationships in a realistic and relatable way. The characters are well-developed, and the emotional connection between them is palpable. The author's writing is engaging, and the story is paced just right to keep the reader hooked from start to finish. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a captivating BDSM romance novel. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book in the series!

~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads Review Team~
Once again Deanndra Hall has blown me away. This is not the first book I have read by her, nor will it be the last. Ms. Hall has a way of writing that makes you feel like you are in the story and living the story right along with the characters. You feel like the characters are your family and friends and when something happens to them you feel it too. I laughed; I cried, felt pure heartbreak and totally loved while reading this book. The connection between Steffen and Sheila is off the charts, their story and journey is well worth the read. Readers also get to revisit past characters from the first book, Trish, Clint and Dave who are all wonderful. I can’t wait for the next book to see what happens next.
Characters: The characters were well written and believable.
Sex: yes
Religious: no

I received a free copy to read and review for Wicked Reads.
I'm thrilled every time I open a book from this author because to date she has failed to disappoint me. I feel sucked into the plot as if I'm watching it unfold with my own eyes.....yes.... It's that good. The characters have such intense and great chemistry that I'm agonized over any drama they have to go through. With this book Steffen has heart break over losing Trish to Clint, you can just imagine how hard it is to find a good submissive. Then Sheila comes along and ramps it up by wanting to play. This is book two in the series, and you should read the first to get the best entertainment value out of the series. Overall entertainment for me was five star! Loved it.

"I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads."
I loved this book. Having met Steffen in Adventurous Me, it was wonderful to get his story. That the chemistry he desired was with Sheila was hinted at in the first book, but the drama and the angst that followed in this book, was totally unexpected. But I have learned to trust Ms Hall and believe that things will work out in the end .... And thankfully she did not let me down!
Can't wait for the third in the series.

Steffen is a Dom who would like nothing more than a woman to share his life with but his history when it comes to love is difficult. When he meets Sheila through mutual friends he is drawn to her in a way he has never felt before and what starts out as a relationship at the club turns into so much more. The only thing that could derail their happiness is that instead of being upfront about his past he tries to remedy it on his own and heartbreak ensues.
Sheila made the mistake of trusting the wrong man in the past and she paid the price both physically and emotionally. She has developed strong feelings for Steffen however when she finds out he has been less than honest it propels her into a dangerous situation. When Steffen comes to her rescue will this be their second chance or is the betrayal she feels too strong to overcome?
Both Steffen and Sheila bear the scars of their pasts and it has an impact on their relationship. The chemistry between them is intense and with trust and understanding they can have the life they both deserve. I thought the narrator did a great job with the story and the characters.

This is book two in the series and could be read/listened to without the benefit of the first but I recommend the first one too. Sheila is more than a little gun-shy since her ex is an abuser but Trish and Clint bring her to their club anyway and Stephan who really wanted Trish as his own is brought in by Clint as her protector and to give Sheila a taste of the "scene." Sheila is a natural and wants more and there are a lot of misunderstandings and maybe some triggers for some who may read/listen to this one so beware. I was uncomfortable at times but found myself rallying behind both Sheila and Stephan and cheering them on. Definitely recommend this one.

I fell in love with the world the author created in Adventurous Me, along with the style of the writing. This book rises to that level, but for very different reasons. I love series, but this one threw away the playbook. This book, although the characters are ones we know, is completely different. The first book is told through the female point of view. It was also a very physical story line. This one is told through the male point of view and the challenges within it are of a more psychological nature. Yes, this is a book with a heavy BDSM theme, but the conflict is more subtle, but no less powerful. It is an incredibly compelling journey, maybe more so than book 1. I love the way Deanndra Hall developed Stephen. We knew he was a powerful Dom from the first book, but here we see that he is also flawed. He feels emotion deeply, and it takes a lot for him to see his flaws. The struggle within the story focuses on his upbringing, and the damage this lied about can cause. How lies of omission can do as much damage as a fist.
Stephen is a 45 year old Dom. He has been alone for a while. He thought he had a chance with Trish, but Clint scooped her up, breaking his heart. He thought he loved her, but is finding that the two of them are great together. Clint will always be his best friend.
Sheila is Trish’s best friend. We didn’t see a lot of her in book one, but enough to get an idea. She is 42 and single. Her history with men is a sad one. She was severely beaten and emotionally abused. Her previous man is in jail for the crime he committed against her. She has low self-esteem, but still wants to be loved.
Trish and Clint bring Sheila to the club one night. Stephen is immediately smitten with her. He had met her at their wedding, but didn’t get to know her well. She wanted to scene, but is skitterish. Stephen is willing to go very slowly with her, feeling an instant draw to this redhead. They hit it off, and their relationship moves forward fairly quickly. He falls hard, but his past is something he has shut out of his mind. He is urged to tell Sheila, but it is such an ugly mess that he just wants to get rid of it, figuring what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her. This becomes a tragic mistake when their worlds are rocked to their core by an unexpected intruder. Now there may be no way to undo the damage, and Stephen is quickly being destroyed by the fallout. But when Sheila’s life may be in danger, can he step up and be the man she needs? And will the future be bright for any of them? The twists toward the end will blindside you and are so worth the exploring. Ms. Hall has an incredible talent for keeping you guessing all the way through her books and taking you on a journey you didn’t even know existed. This book is a wonderful addition to her already wonderful reads. Although this is a part of a series, it could be read as a stand alone. I would not recommend it, each of her books is an adventure worth taking and the characters will have a greater impact if you read them in order. This series is quickly instilling itself into my top series list is a hurry. Come along for the kink, stay for the story.

Unforgettable You is a more than a BDSM story. It has a spectacular storyline with miscommunication causing many wrongs. It will keep your emotions cranked up, as Steffen and Sheila work through trust issues and sins of omission from the past that affect the future.
Sheila is larger than life in this book and at times I felt she was a little too easy going. I did like her immediate reaction when confronted with Steffen’s act of omission but I was glad when there was finally a stop to where she was heading. I know this sounds like I am talking in circles but I don’t want to give anything away. I will say that it was well written, very well written and I couldn’t put the book down till I was at the very end.
Steffen well all I can say is I want one just like him. I loved all the facets of his personality and I really thought the author did a superb job of showing his broken soft side without making him less manly.
This story doesn’t make all things rosy and pretty and I felt that these areas were handle with extreme thoughtfulness to give us the feeling of something is wrong while not scaring us or turning us off.
I loved Steffen when he was first introduced in Adventurous Me Book One of the Me, You, and Us Series. I am glad he got his book. Trish and Clint the main characters in Adventurous Me are strong characters in this book as well are Dave and Sheila from book one. All of these characters create a great continuity to the series. I really advise you to read book one as well and hopefully before this book. I can’t wait for the last book of the series. I am looking forward to reading it.
I rate this book 5 Hearts for the read and the heat factor.

4.5 out of 5 Stars
This is the second book in this series. Now that Trish and Clint have found each other and are happily living their love, Trish's friend Sheila is curious as to the lifestyle that has transformed her best friend.
What starts as a casual introduction at Club Bliss, quickly explodes into all encompassing romance. Steffen finds in Sheila the woman that never thought he would ever find to fulfill all his dreams and fantasies. Feeling it and saying it out loud are two opposites for him. He is unable to voice how he feels about her other than to nurture her and support her training into this new lifestyle.
Sheila has been hurt before and it is difficult for her to trust. For her, honesty is the first and foremost rule. She is falling for Steffen and comes to trust and love him completely. She leaves behind her inhibitions and expresses to him how she truly feels. Even though she knows he cares for her, she cannot help but wonder why he has never told her he loves her.
Once again, Deandra Hall takes us through the complex world of BDSM. Again, I have walked away realizing this lifestyle can be a powerful life changing experience. The caveat is that you HAVE to know your partner and build TRUST before exploring deeper into the lifestyle. You cannot use this power exchange between individuals to seek revenge, or purge yourself of your feelings of regret. You can be seriously hurt unless you are careful. There is beauty in surrendering to someone you trust who will take care of you. But having said that, there are too many out there who are opportunistic and will not care to hurt you for the thrill of the power they crave.
Steffen's secrets from his past are the turning point in this story. The transformation that must happen to both characters is a story I will not soon forget.

The second book in Deanndra Hall’s Me, You and Us series, “Unforgettable You” revolves around the budding relationship between Sheila Brewster and Steffan Cothran.
If you have read the first book in this series, “Adventurous Me,” then you are already familiar with the sexy and ever-charming BDSM Dom, Steffan. But Steffan’s character is so much more complex than what the little snippet from the first book would have the reader believe. In “Unforgettable You,” we see a whole other side to Steffan—one that’s even more irresistible!
Sheila is another character that the reader has been previously “introduced” to as the best friend to BDSM member, Trish Stinson. When Sheila accompanies Trish & Clint to the BDSM club that the couple frequent, Sheila and Steffan form an instant connection. Soon, a sexual and romantic relationship between the pair blossoms. But it’s a lie from Steffan’s past that threatens to tear the couple apart.
In all honesty, I must say that I found “Unforgettable You” to be SO MUCH better than the first book in this series! Both Steffan & Sheila are likeable, well-developed, multi-faceted characters. The progression of their relationship (though quick) felt honest and real. Although there was one scene in particular that was torturous to read, it added another dimension of depth to this already captivating story. Despite the aching of my heart, I quickly devoured every last word of Sheila and Steffan’s story!!
For those of you looking for a good BDSM read, “Unforgettable You” has it all—it’s an excellent mix of romance, humor, drama and LOTS OF SIZZLING SEX SCENES!!

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review! I may or may not post spoilers, but with this book all i can say is I will try not too! (but it will be super hard!)
When I first starting reading this Author back in Oct of 2014. I was impressed with her writing style. The truthfulness of her scenes in a dungeon. The emotions that where each of her books.
I am going to say this set far surpasses the Laying a foundation set!! These guys came to life for me. It was not just a book I was reading it was real life. I have been reading from the time i could sneak a book into bed with me at night with a flash light. I was the nerd. So when an author can surprise me and bring the main players to life for me I am pleasantly surprised.
Now, this book is set in a dungeon with a drawing that places a young lady at the mercy of a Master who is not emotionally ready for her. Neither is she emotionally ready for him. Both have scars, both are for lack of a better word going to heal each other while at the same time hitting road bumps.
She has these players so like real people that it is scary! I mean you had an ex wife who will do anything to ruin him. Including sleeping with his friends and anyone who will take her on. I found it super super easy to hate her while pitying her.
I wish I could tell you about the twists and turns you will read when you start this set of books.... but you will have to discover them yourself! All I can say is WOW at the sex scenes! You will need a super cold show or ummm make your bob is near!

Review of Unforgettable You (You, Me, and Us #2) by Deanndra Hall
Review done for Hooked on Books
4 out of 5 stars
Steffen Cothran has been a Dom at the local BDSM club, Bliss, for a long time. He has never found a sub who he can see himself having a relationship with.
He thought he had possibly found that in the new sub Trish, but she ended up with his friend Clint.
However, when Steffen is introduced to Trish’s friend Sheila, he has to re-evaluate. She is gorgeous, sexy, and super sweet.
When he gets to scene with Sheila, he knows there is something special between them. Steffen teaches Sheila everything she wants to learn.
The sparks not only fly in the club, but also outside in normal life. Their relationship grows fast, but they are perfect for each other.
Unfortunately, Steffen has failed to open up about his past, and when it comes crashing through his door, he is unable to stop the fallout that results.
I really loved Steffen. He was so caring and kind to Sheila. He is super sexy and is a complete sex god.
I was disappointed in Sheila and how she reacted to the situation. Her insecurities caused her to make some horrible decisions and it was unfair to blame it all on Steffen.
This book was definitely the best of the series so far. I loved this couple and enjoyed watching their relationship develop.
I can’t wait to read book 3.

This story is told from Steffen’s point of view and I loved it. I wanted him to find the woman for him after things didn’t work out for him and Trish in the first book. Steffen is carefree looking for the right one.
When him and Shelia do a scene and start to see each other, I’m thinking to myself, “you go boy.” Then the other shoe drops. His ex wife comes out of no where when he and Shelia are finally happy. I gotta say I didn’t see that one coming, but what I also didn’t see coming and should have was that Shelia didn’t want to have anything to do with him after that. I wanted to slap her. She could have at least let him explain. Granted he didn’t tell her and just maybe before the ex came he was about to tell her. Now we may never know. It took something tragic to happen for Shelia to start talking to him again. I was a little skeptical at first, I still wanted to be pissed at her, but she won me over.
It’s jam pack with kinky sexy, drama and friendship. Clint and Trish from Adventurous Me play a big role in this book as well. All in all it was a good story and I can’t wait to read Dave’s story. He deserves a HEA.

This is the 2nd book in the ME, You and Us series. The 1st book is Adventurous Me. This book continues the story of Trish and Clint and tell Steffen's story, he's the popular DOM with lots of shared subs but not that special exclusive sub, until he meets Trish's best friend- Shelia. (He has a secretive past, that he has forgotten about until it visits the present.)Shelia is introduced to the BDSM, D/s lifestyle by Steffen, and their adventure/romance begins until his past comes to visit the present.Omission of the truth is as bad as lying can she overcome this and trust him? Will both couples be able to have their adventure with a HEA? This is a well written fast paced can't put the book down read. The characters are likeable, well most are. This book is for major readers due to contents, hot kinky sex, BDSM, language and some violence. There are lot of emotional moments, suspense and passion/romance. This is an honest review for a gifted copy of the book. Hope there is a book 3, need Dave's story!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

I really enjoyed getting to know more about Steffen, a broken man who is a Dom. He works through his emotions through BDSM, and had so many Subs he has lost count. He first met Trish at Bliss, and later found her best friend Shelia. Steffen realizes a lot while Sheila is in his life. He realizes things in his past that is now hurting his relationship in the present. He doesn’t know what to do, but to make it right. Steffen’s past walks into his life, only to realize it was more confusing, and frustrating than before. However, he knows what to do to make the one person happy, and to finally fall in love. When the chaos happens, Shelia realizes she just wants to experience BDSM, not only is she working through the pain, but she uses pain to overcome her feelings for Steffen. Would Steffen hear her screams when she is trouble? Or would her screams never be heard?

Another great book by Deanndra Hall! She has yet again made me cry by reading another one of her books. This is the second book in the You, Me and US series. The first book gave us Clint & Trish's story. We still have Clint & Trish in this story, but this story is mainly all about Steffen. I have totally fallen in love with Steffen. He is such a sweet and caring man, but he doesn't always make the right decisions when it comes to Sheila. But of course Sheila makes some very bad decisions also in this story too. Will two very bad decisions turn out to be a right for them. Can't wait to read the last book in this series!!!
February 2, 2015
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This second story in the trilogy is beautifully written. The author makes you care about the characters in this series and it is so touchingly written that you feel their emotions along with them. While it is great to get Steffan's story, I found myself not liking Sheila at all. We find in this story that Steffan is so much deeper of character than the first book may have led us to believe. I, unfortunately, still could not find anything redeeming about Sheila even in the end. She is my new love to hate character. I cannot wait for the conclusion to this series to see how everyone ends up!
February 3, 2015
I loved Unforgettable You by Deanndra Hall. This book will tell you the continuing story of Steffen and how he finds a new love. Of course there is going to good and bad times. The worse is when he neglects to reveal a vital piece of information. The trick now is to see if he can win back the other half of his heart.
I give this book 5 stars because the ups and downs really keep you engrossed in the story. This is not your usual everyday fairytale. There are parts that are not for the faint of heart. I loved every minute of reading this book. Yes, that includes the times that I wanted to strangle Steffen.

Deanndra is a Awesome writer, this book is no exception. This book is the 2nd book in the ME, YOU , and US series. This book is intended for adults 18+ as it contains adult material. Lots of BDSM material in it. This is the continuing story of Trish and Clint lives together and they help Trish's friend Sheila find someone to heal her wounds as well as one of Clint's friend Steffan too. This was written from Steffan point of view, and it is a page turner for sure, wanting to see what happens next in the story. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. If you get a chance read Deanndra other books as well, all well written and keeps you reading till the end.

UNFORGETTABLE YOU is the 2nd book in the 'you,me and us" trilogy and focuses on one of the other doms' in the BDSM club - Steffan.One thing I love about this book is that it is told from Steffan's POV. The emotions and intensity makes it a very thought provoking read. Also, Steffan and Sheila are in their 40's. They're muture characters who have a lot of life experience and are well aware of what they want. I'm so looking forward to the final book. I love the bond and friendship all the connecting characters have

Holy hell, that was intense! Not the bdsm elements so much as the emotions. Although I will admit that during the most "climactic" scene I actually had to put my kindle down for about 5 minutes and put my head between my legs so I wouldn't toss my cookies. I don't think I've had such a visceral reaction to a book since I read Roal Dahl's "Boy" when I was 8...and that's saying something considering the literally thousands of books I've read since then.
Deanndra Hall, you have delivered once again. Thank you!!

OMG! This book shows how a lie can destroy relationships to the core. I believe if Adele had been honest with Steffen i believe he would have made it work. But he chose Sheila the better of the two. Sheila had her own issues that took her to a place where she may not have come back from if it wasn't for Steffen. I like how the author showed the men give the women respect enough so that everyone could actually forgive each other and live happy ever after.
February 7, 2015
I really enjoyed this book! We finally get to see Steffen get his HEA with Sheila (Trish's friend from book 1) but it comes with a lot of struggles. This book was amazing, it was hot, it was romantic, it was funny and the ending made me cry just like in the first book. I can't wait to see what Dave's story will be in book 3.
February 4, 2015
Another great read in this series. I really enjoyed reading about Sheila and Steffan's story. The writing is based on older and maturer relationships in the male's point of view and Deanndra Hall nails it. Can't wait for Dave's story.

Book 2 in the Bliss series is told from Steffen's point of view. He was the Dom who fell for Trish in the first book Adventurous Me, but Trish ended up with his friend Clint.
Steffen the blonde Viking is a lonely and compassionate character who is introduced to Trish's gorgeous best friend Sheila. As they become dom and sub in the sex club called Bliss, the trust builds as they start dating and spending more time together. Then Steffen's past comes back to haunt him and Sheila goes dark.
Sheila was abused in her previous relationship so she doesn't trust easily, but Steffen is like no other. He is patient, understanding, and well-versed in BDSM. She is falling in love with him and things are getting serious until Steffen shatters her world.
Sheila and Steffen fall hard and fast for each other and their love is wonderful to see, but Steffen loses her trust, and Sheila almost destroys herself while grieving for the man she loves so much. She goes down the dark hole which is incredibly disturbing and personally, I think she needs counseling after what she endured. Needle play. Ouch!!
It all ends in a HEA with some very heartwarming scenes such as Steffen's loving grand gesture for both his wife and his mother and the awesome steps Steffen and Sheila take to complete their happiness.
It was also good to see Trish and Clint from book 1 who have a surprise in store for them. Their amazing support is truly a lifesaver for Steffen and Sheila. And of, course Dave from the club is a great friend and mentor who can be counted on to help in any way possible. ;-) Let's just say, I can't wait to read his story.
Unforgettable You is not just erotica and BDSM (which is very hot!), but a romance with real characters over 40 and real feelings. This story includes serious subjects like abuse, cancer, depression, and adoption. There were times when I laughed, cried, flinched, and just languished in their afterglow. In addition, the audiobook narrator, Tor Thom, has the perfect deep sexy voice that makes the story flow very nicely. If you would like to read about the BDSM scene with couples who truly care about each other, sit back with a glass of wine and give this audiobook, and the series, a try. If you are squeamish about in-your-face sex acts, this may not be the book for you.
Thank you to Ms. Hall for giving me the opportunity to listen to this audiobook with no expectation of a positive review.

I have received this audio book in exchange for a honest review.
This is the second book in the me, you, us series by Deanndra Hall.. in the first book Trish introduces us to her friend Shiela. A friend who was there for her after her whole world is turned upside down. At the end of adventurous me Trish makes note that Shiela has taken a liking to a Dom from club bliss Stefan. Flash forward to book two where Shiela and Stefan meet vaguely at Trish and Clints wedding. Trish has sparked some intrigue in Shiela about the world of BDSM. Clint and Trish quickly assess how great Stefan would be as a Dom for the new little sub to be Shiela. Shiela quickly takes a liking to Stefan who after being burned and left raw in the past has his own dark secrets. Can Shiela open up to her new Master or will her inability to trust men after her last left her battered and beaten leave her too shattered to trust again? Stefan has a dark secret that he can’t seem to spill to Shiela in fear that she will leave him with an empty void like he has never felt before.
**REVIEW**
It was nice to delve back into Club bliss with the characters we have been introduced to in book one. Shiela was a like able enough character and did have development and growth, but I found it to be a little less than believable that she would leave Stefan without accepting any kind of explanation. Especially considering what she turned to once she felt stung and betrayed by him. Shiela turns to some extreme forms of BDSM with some of the most sadistic Doms. Shiela had issues to do with trust due to the abuse she had to deal with from her drug addicted ex who beat her into within an inch of her life. With that being said why would a woman who has such issues with trust and abuse engage in the more extreme side of BDSM such as needle and knife play? It does how ever make the story interesting but does pull on some of the strings of the story. Stefan for being the big bad Dom of bliss that he is, actually comes of as a bit self deprecating. Which once again goes against the grain of any Dominating mans personality. Other than those minor flaws I felt the story was decently written and the narrator did a good job of being able to voice each character. I would recommend this book to anyone who has read previous erotic BDSM books and like a story to pull on your heart strings.

Fantastic Story & Listen🎧 Captivating & Heartfelt!
Unforgettable You
Bliss Series, Book 2
By: Deanndra Hall
Narrated by: Tor Thom
Deanndra Hall delivers another fabulous novel in her “Bliss” series, this book follows “Adventurous Me”, which was mainly Clint and Trish’s story, though Steffen, the lead in this book played a big role in their story. This book is his story as well as Sheila’s, Trish’s best friend. I adored Steffen in the first book and fell in love with him even more in this book. The man had a huge heart, he wanted to find a partner and love like Clint and Trish. I was happy to see Clint and Steffen relationship go back to what it was pre Trish. It was his idea to introduce him to Sheila and take her under his wing. She had come out of a bad relationship and had trust issues. Steffen had his own relationship issues but he was working to resolve those and thought it would be soon. I thought Steffen and Sheila were great together and for each other. He was the perfect person to show and teach her the ropes in BDSM lifestyle. All goes well until the past comes knocking at his door, bringing a surprise with him he loses the one thing that made him happy. The author packed a lot of story into this book, it is cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, angst, heartfelt and emotional moments and some hot kink and romance. I was not a fan of how Sheila handled conflict and the choices she made to numb her heartache. But she redeems herself in the end, saw the error of her ways and thankfully it was love that saves her, saves Steffen too. Deanndra Hall, thank you for another great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
I listened to the Audible edition, Tor Thom is a terrific narrator and voice artist. He brings the characters to life, going each their own voice and personality. He does an awesome job portraying the characters, taking each role and making it his own. I adored his take on all the characters but must say he truly made Steffen shine in this book. He set the perfect tone for the story, captured all of the characters emotions and projected them into his performance. He is a talented and entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen🎧

This book is his story as well as Sheila’s, Trish’s best friend. I adored Steffen in the first book and fell in love with him even more in this book. The man had a huge heart, he wanted to find a partner and love like Clint and Trish. I was happy to see Clint and Steffen relationship go back to what it was pre Trish. It was his idea to introduce him to Sheila and take her under his wing. She had come out of a bad relationship and had trust issues. Steffen had his own relationship issues but he was working to resolve those and thought it would be soon. I thought Steffen and Sheila were great together and for each other. He was the perfect person to show and teach her the ropes in BDSM lifestyle. All goes well until the past comes knocking at his door, bringing a surprise with him he loses the one thing that made him happy. The author packed a lot of story into this book, it is cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, angst, heartfelt and emotional moments and some hot kink and romance. I was not a fan of how Sheila handled conflict and the choices she made to numb her heartache. But she redeems herself in the end, saw the error of her ways and thankfully it was love that saves her, saves Steffen too. Deanndra Hall, thank you for another great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
I listened to the Audible edition, Tor Thom is a terrific narrator and voice artist. He brings the characters to life, going each their own voice and personality. He does an awesome job portraying the characters, taking each role and making it his own. I adored his take on all the characters but must say he truly made Steffen shine in this book. He set the perfect tone for the story, captured all of the characters emotions and projected them into his performance. He is a talented and entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen🎧
