When I first started this series, I was instantly drawn to Missy. It was hard not to be. The beautiful Domme seemed like she had a lot going on under the surface. It felt like we weren't getting the whole story and what we were getting was being drip fed through other characters and her role in other stories. So when I got up to Missy's book, well, I was beyond excited. And as always, Emma Jaye did not disappoint!
We met Nick originally in Lucy's story and you couldn't help but love him instantly. The gorgeous, protective, loyal, smart-mouthed, giant is well... he's sort of perfect actually. And I loved the dynamic he and Missy had in Lucy's story. So it was a double bonus having both Nick and Missy in this story. I loved their banter. I loved their realistic feeling interactions and emotions and stubbornness.
This wasn't the type of story I thought it was going to be, though I don't know why that surprises me considering every single one of the stories in this series are different. But this one was a suspenseful adventure from start to finish. It begins with Anton's (Nick's former lover that raped and kidnapped Lucy) death. Naturally Nick is conflicted with how he feels about this and gets roped back into the Army to finish what Anton was unable to. His mission? Go after a sex trafficking ring. But there's one kicker, he needs to go into as a Dom in order to gain access.
This is where Missy comes in. Knowing that Nick is not a Dom and would end up like Anton if he tried, she decides to go in as the experienced Domme and have Nick as her bodyguard of sorts. Especially since Missy knows Marcus, the man who runs the sex club that they're going to. She and Marcus shared one steamy night and since then, he's wanted her.
Once they hit Colorado, things really begin to take off. Is Anton actually dead? Who's side is Marcus on? When Nick and Missy find themselves kidnapped and stuck on an island in the middle of the Bahamas, their world takes an unexpected turn. And that's really all I can say, because I refuse to give anything away. You just have to read it and I can promise you that you will not be sorry. This book gripped me from the start and wouldn't let me go until the last page.
I loved absolutely every second of this brilliant story with these amazing characters and I cannot wait to read Nick's story next. If you haven't started this series, then you're seriously missing out!
