Rush: The Extended Version

Rate this book
My desires revolved around the darkest fantasies a person could have. I thought meeting Cade Miller was the answer to the overwhelming longing within, but he has more in store than one night of sating our needs. He plans to keep me whether I agree to his terms or not.

They say to be careful what you wish for. Perhaps I should have heeded the warning.


WARNING-This is a -DARK- BDSM short story that focuses on more of the extreme, forbidden side. It might have triggers for some. Be aware before you decide to read it.

This is the EXTENDED version. Rush first premiered in BDSM Writers Con Anthology.

Well that was a rush! Honestly no pun intended. This a quick yet sexy/dark read for I have expected of Alaska and damn its yummy. She always has me from the get go and puts me in the mindset of what I am reading, just feels like I am there and will be honest here, a little bit envious.

Lynn knows she wants more out of sex, I just dont think this is what she had expected with Cade. I feel like I am in the same boat. I had no clue he was going to do that but damn that was hot!

I want more!

Dangerous and steamy interlude.

Very short. Very hot. Three awesome excerpts that do more than any review I could write up:
• “That’s right, Lynn, tell me no. Moan it. Tell me to stop.” He paused, leaning toward me until his lips were level with my cheek. “Watch when I don’t.”
• “You’re thinking when you have no reason to. I’m not asking your permission or even your opinion. I’m telling you what’s going to happen.”
• “You feel that? Who’s got you? Who has the control? It’s not you.”

This story. Three words. The friggin' BOMB!!!! I'm all about role play and fantasies and of course Alaska never disappoints!

This dark, hot, and sexy read is for adults only. Well adults who are lovers of all things dark! I cannot stress how different this hot little number is compared to vanilla so heed the warnings! I swear I'll never look at leather gloves the same again.....whew!!

Five sexy stars for Cade and Lynn!

Short, Dark and Delicious

Extremely sensitive content: please take warning to heart.

Lynn is a quiet, overlooked woman with dark desires. Tired of a life of safety and security, and praying for a change, she arranges a meeting with a dangerous stranger. Cade Miller is everything she had dreamt and fantasized about for years, and she can't help but be drawn to the mystery surrounding him. But will he break the walls she is hiding behind, or will he break her?

Originally published in the BDSM Writers Con anthology, Rush is everything you could hope from a dark short : sexy, exciting, limit testing. Alaska Angelini has a particularly amazing talent in her ability to enmesh her reader in the world of creating, and have them lose themselves to the story.

The only complaint I had after reading Rush was its brevity. I want a sequel, or, better yet, a series. One-click Rush today. You'll not be disappointed.

This short story is hot, explosive and gave me everything I wanted in no time. Lynn is a woman that has been over looked and kept her enter dark cravings at bay as long as she can until one day she finally gives in to see who might be able to help her with this. Once she finds him online and discusses things with him for 6 weeks, it's time to meet. By setting up her most wanted fantasy he informs her she can't back out now or he will find her. He plays by his own rules and wants to let his demons out to play and she's the perfect toy. What extreme will this man take her emotions to and should she actually fear him once things start to heat up and things are out of her control? Find out by grabbing this baby up!

This little novella is dark so please read and heed the warning.

Lynn is invisible, stepped on and scared. One of those people who isolate themselves to protect themselves from hurt. She has some dark desires though and she is finally seeking them out. Cade is there to deliver her from herself in the most delicious, dark and deviant ways. These two are a match made in heaven. Or maybe hell?

I love Alaska Angelini books. I fell in love with Devlin first, then Marko. Neither compare to the love I have for Cade

All of the stars. All of them.

"They say be careful what you wish for. I should have heeded the warning."

Rush is forbidden, dark, dangerous and extreme and I loved every second of it. Alaska was able to mix fear and desire into a perfect fantasy in this dark short story.

Lynn is tired of being the meek mouse everyone steps on and doesn't give her a second glance. She has been living a separate life online talking to Cade Miller. A life where she's able to share her deepest darkest fantasies with him. When she finally decides to meet Cade to live out one of her dark fantasies she starts to wonder if she is in over her head, because Cade has no intention of letting her go.

"I feel your tension. Your instincts are screaming for you to fight. As you should. Do it, Pet. Try with everything you have. but don't you dare make a fucking sound."

Rush first appeared in the BDSM Writers Con anthology and gave you just a taste of this extended version. If you are not easily offended and don't care to push the limits Alaska will do that for you in this amazing Dark short story. Like with everything else Alaska Angelini writes I'm addicted and I want more!

Warning there is sensitive content if you are easily offended or have triggers this non-con/dub-con fantasy short is not for you.

"We Were Two Lost Souls, Craving The Things Most People Were Too Afraid To Admit They Needed. Together, We’d Either Be Sated, Or We’d Burn." — Lynn

"She was everything I wanted. Everything dark and forbidden that I had dreamed about now for as long as I could remember. What she needed sexually matched my own desires. Never in my life did I think I would find someone I didn’t have to hide myself from. We were two of a kind—meant to be." — Cade


This short book was so incredible. I closely identified with it. It involves something I truly love; "Dark Fantasy (Role-Playing)" It's told in two points of view, "Lynn and Cade's!" It's perfectly well written that pulls you right from the start and takes you on their dark and twisted journey. I just need to remember to pick up some leather gloves for my hubby, next time I'm at Nordstroms.

Do you like a dark taboo read?! Well look no further. I highly recommend. And if you don't have an open mind, this book is definitely not for you!

Contains: Rape Play Fantasy. Spankings.

5 ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS STARS!

ARC gifted by author in exchange for an honest review

Lynn is a quiet woman filled with dark desires. She's finally had enogugh of her boring monotonous life and arranges a meeting with a dangerous stranger. She wants to fulfill her darkest fantasy- to add some excitement in her life. Cade Miller is the one that will give what she desires the most- to be dominated. She cannot help but be drawn to him even though she's scared out of her mind of how this encounter will end.

WOW!!! Alaska Angelini sure did not disappoint with this short new read! The length of this book seriously does not matter because, you'll be left utterly hot and bothered after reading it! Really recommended to those who love a dark twisted tale with an over the top alpha male who just takes what he wants. I can't wait to read what Alaska Angelini writes next!!!

Rush by Alaska Angelini is a dark BDSM short story that focuses the forbidden and darkest desires that some people crave and finding the rare person that fills your needs. Completing you.

Lynn and Cade meet online in a secret BDSM group and after getting to know each other they decide to meet in person to live out their fantasy in reality.

Fear, danger, desire, and adrenaline combine in Rush, creating an imagery packed short story that rapidly progresses and solidifies what is truly happening between Lynn and Cade, as told from both of their point of views.

Overall, Rush is a well-written short story that builds up in its anxiety, leaves you breathless, and satisfied at the end. I very much recommend if you enjoy your romance forbidden, extreme, and on the dark side.

Rush delivered.. Oh hell what a read!


I enjoy reading a good dark, forbidden but oh so hot story and Alaska Angelini knows how to write it. This might be a short but wow! The subject matter might be seen as "taboo" but these two people came together to fulfill their dark fantasy and found much more. I myself, would love to read more about this couple as they satisfy their wildest desires.

Five Fantastic Stars! Wow!!! This story is wild, an edge of your seat ride! The story is short and one you need to read the warnings before you read it. The book is a dark novella and if you enjoyed that type of book then you will love this one! I highly recommend it!

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review. This book was read and reviewed by Annamaria.

Whoa. Rush is a short story that is sure to bring you to your knees. Do heed the warnings on this one. Rush is not for the faint of heart especially if rape fantasy isn't your thing. If you love DARK erotica that pushes boundaries you'll love this short story.
