Leashing the Virgin
Love? I don’t know the meaning of the word.
It’s pain I understand. And control. Always control.
I’ve built an empire of destruction. One so enormous, no one can touch me.
I take what I want, and I can buy all the rest.
She’s a risk I shouldn’t take, but too f*cking tempting to deny.
Naked, sweet and perfect on the auction block, she’s the only virgin Club La Laisse has ever offered. Now she’s mine… to do with as I please.
One touch and I couldn’t stop. One taste and I nearly lost control. One unguarded moment and now she has the power to ruin me.
She’s discovered my deepest secret. But I’m going to discover all of hers. I don’t care how deep I have to go…
But how can I live with myself?
When she’s suddenly become everything… I can’t live without.

Title: Leashing the Virgin:
Author: Riley Rollins
This book wasn’t one of your typical BDSM books..
Grace aka Eden has had hard life, with her mother fighting alcohol problems. Grace is stuck with her mother’s attorney cost & everything else that goes along with the crime that her mother is accused of doing.
That’s when Grace finds herself at cross road, she had only one option to get the large lump sum she needs to save her mother
Grace goes to La Laisse to sell her virginity, it is high priced auction, or as Grace calls it brothel/but it is actually a sex club
Gabriel aka Kaine is very rich with a lot of control issues. Wow does Kaine have some very deep secrets to deal with himself.
Kaine paid $100k for one night with Grace, but he convinced her to give him the week in La Laisse-
Kaine wasn’t the only bidding on Grace of course there was others… But one man in particular stood out (Bastien Cole)
“I’ll never hurt you,” he said darkly, as I felt my stomach tighten in fear. “But I can promise you... we will both suffer, just the same.”
Bastien Cole was one of Kaine business rivals & was also link to Grace’s mother’s criminal case….
This book wasn’t one of your typical BDSM books.. You’ll find plenty of twist & turns in this book, along with some wtf moments.. But once all Kane’s secrets are revealed you’ll understand those wtf moments. Really enjoyed this book. This is the 2nd book I've read by this author but it won't be the last! Wow!
➦Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion

3.5-3.75 Stars
From the early age, Grace aka Eden has known how to make the hard decisions. Now she is twenty-two-year-old and she has auctioned her virginity to the highest bidder for only a week. She needs this money for her mom; to save her and give her one more chance.
"To feel taken care of… to feel safe for the very first time? What wouldn’t I do for that?"
Gabriel aka Kaine is a man with all the powerful drives and needs. All year long, he is business. But for a single week out of the year, he allows himself to use full control over a woman. But he has one condition and that is she must NEVER touch him!
"You will do exactly what I tell you, nothing more, nothing less. You must agree to obey me without question. And I am unique in my requirements."
The book is not just about their relationship. It also focused on some one else, Bastien Cole who is Kaine business rivals and also indirectly linked to Grace. And he is a huge trouble.
The problem that I had with this book was I expect more steam and hotness! I'm wondering why the author has chosen this name! In my opinion the book’s name was irrelevant. And I must add this one is not the typical BDSM. In fact, it’s nothing rough about it! But all in all, I really liked it and enjoyed it!

Leashing the Virgin ends at about 50% of the book.
The other half was an additional story called 'Steal Me'. (I'm not going to review this one. If I did, my review would be a LOT less than the 4 stars I'm giving 'Leashing the Virgin', just sayin'...)
Grace Clarey is a young girl about to auctioning off her virginity to help support her mother who is being accused of drunk driving and killing a politician's wife.
Gabriel 'Kaine' Arkaine is a wealthy businessman that allows himself the pleasure of a woman only once a year. The moment he set sights on Grace, he knew he had to have her.
One week is what he paid for, promising Grace more pleasure than she could ever imagine. But his promises also came with demands. She wasn't allowed to touch him - ever, and had to accept whatever he gave her without making demands on her own. Curiosity (and a bit of desperation) made her agree to spend the week with Kaine, even though she badly wanted to know more about him and the reasons behind his weird demands.
The more time the two spent together, the more they both realized that they had far more in common than just being in the same room at the same time.
I loved that Grace was such a strong young woman, even going so far as agreeing to auction off her virginity to pay for her mother's lawyers. Throughout the whole book there were only very few moments when her strength wavered, even though she wasn't always the smartest bean in the can, either. That's probably the main reason for me that I couldn't give the book 5 stars.
Kaine was a man of many secrets and a very troubled past that still haunted him. I didn't fully understand his reasoning behind , but it was a nice surprise to see him treating Grace so thoughtfully and have his restraint crumple at the same time.
With the rather slow-paced first chapters the book sure did pick up tempo in the end.
I wouldn't really call it insta-love between the two main characters, but it still all happened faily quickly.
Nice addition: when signing up to Riley Rollins' newsletter, you'll immediately receive an extended epilogue to the book, which was a sweet read!

Grace is in desperate need of money and is prepared to sell her virginity for it.
Kaine needs some time off work and has his eyes on Grace. He buys her for a whole week and gives her pleasure like she never expected to ever experience.
Kaine is a rich business man who works very hard. He’s determined and fights for what he wants and he knows what he wants. Kaine likes Grace from the start and he starts question everything he has believed in for all those years. She is different from any other woman he has been with. He only has one week with her and wants to enjoy every minute of it. Grace is strong, insecure and loving. She is scared and nervous about being sold, but she is determined to do it. The man who buys her, is better than she could have ever hoped for. She is attracted to Kaine and sees herself falling for him, but she thinks that those feelings will never be returned and tries to keep her distant.
I really liked the progress of the story. Even though Grace and Kaine only spend one week together, I never thought that Kaine’s development was unbelievable. I don’t mind reading insta love romance. There was also a little bit of mystery that made me wanting to know exactly what happened. I absolutely loved the epilogue. It was the perfect ending to Grace and Kaine’s love story. But I did expect more steam and hotness, because of the club where Grace is sold and with what exception Grace went to the club.

Deliciously Dark !!!
Title: Leashing the Virgin
Author: Riley Rollins
Designation: Dark Bad Boy Romance, Full-Length Standalone, NO Cliffhanger, NO Cheating
Reading Platform: Kindle Edition
My Rating: Five Deliciously Sinful Stars*****
Loved it! Leashing the Virgin is an enthralling, provocative, fast-paced, full-length standalone tale filled to the brim with spine-tingling suspense, malevolent treachery, agonizing angst, steamy passion, and dreamy dark romance. In my opinion, this story straddles genres, wobbling precariously between dark romance and romantic suspense/thriller. The narrative is beautifully written in the first person with clearly defined his and her perspectives, The dialogue is smart, sultry, seductive, and flows effortlessly. After reading only the blurb for this story, I was immediately intrigued by the premise as well as the world created by the author for this torrid tale of sex, lust, love, despair, desperation, revenge and loneliness. I'm addicted to dark romance, especially when it includes a venue like Club La Laisse, made even more enticing by the auctions where women are sold to the highest bidder and used for sexual pleasure. Both elements were exceptionally well-developed, crafted, and executed but my favorite component, by far, is the cast of intriguing, engaging and very complex characters. I was immediately smitten with the two protagonists, handsome, wealthy but deeply troubled Kaine aka Gabriel Arkaine, and beautiful, innocent and kindhearted virgin Eden aka Grace Clarey. These two characters could not have been more different and under normal circumstances, would probably have never met but neither Gabriel nor Grace lived in a normal world. Yet, despite their differences, they were perfect together and complemented each other brilliantly. The attraction between them was immediate, their interaction mesmerizing, their sexual chemistry electric, their passion undeniable, and their fates entangled, seemingly written in the stars. It was absolutely perfect!
Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! I was riveted to my chair, white knuckling my reader with y heart fluttering wildly in my chest as the time flew as quickly as the pages. Once I started reading, I simply could not stop; I could not get enough. I was held completely under its spelling from the first page till the last. It was incredible! This story made me remember the true healing power of love... no matter how dark or tortured your past, it's never too late for love. Would I recommend it? You bet and I am but only for adult readers. There were a few little boo-boos but nothing that distracted me from the story. Will I read this author again? Abso-freakin-lutely! Riley Rollins is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
No spoilers from me but I will say this....Handsome wealthy businessman with a dark tortured past who is not what he seems-check! Beautiful, young woman desperately in need of money with nothing to sell but her virginity-check! A sex club and auction where there are no limits as long as you have the money to satisfy your desires-check! Danger, drama, debauchery, murder, lies, deceit, greed, manipulations, enemies with agendas and malevolent intent, as well as a few plot twists you'll never see coming-check! Lust, passion, sex, and surprisingly, even sweet, heartwarming love-check! That and a whole lot more!

Grace went to La Laisee to be sold to the highest Bidder. She needed the money for her mother. Who is in jail now for killing someone while drinking and driving.
Kaine goes to La Laisee once a year for a week to torture himself for something that happened during his childhood.
I loved the characters in this book.
This is not a typical Riley Rollins book. It's a little different in the way things played out. Nonetheless I really enjoyed it.
I would highly recommend it.

Leashing the virgin by Riley Rollins a thrilling five-star read. This is a bad boy romance with some hot and heaviness that will take you on an exciting, thrilling journey. La Laisse (the leash) is a classy club that caters for the exclusive few among the elite, that are the top of their games, they provide executive stress management, at least that’s what they call it.
Grace Clarey is a young woman with great need, she feels she has no choice but to go to the club and do something she never would have imagined herself doing. But for the love of family when we meet her at the club she is dressed in a robe, which is quickly removed to show nothing but golden slave cuffs, to show what people are bidding on. A girl called Eden’s virginity. After all Eden is a different person, anything can happen to Eden and Grace can forget about it, at least that’s what she thinks. When she gets sold and he wants more than just the night, it changes something for both of them. They both discover things they didn’t expect, but one has more to lose, and when the balance is off, there can’t be a happy ending can there?
Riley Rollins writes books that you have to read in one sitting, you can’t put them down once you pick them up.

Interesting
From the description of the book I was expecting something completely different then what I got. It wasn't bad just different. This wasn't really a BDSM read even though it starts out with her being brought. I

If you like a strong alpha male mixed with a vulnerable, yet strong underneath female then this story is for you. It starts out with the heroine Grace, aka Eden, auctioning off her virginity to the highest bidder in order to get the funds to help out her mother. The highest bidder just happens to be Gabriel Arkaine, or just Kaine as he likes to be called, who offers $100,000 to outbid any other man there. Once he and Grace are alone he tells her his rules, especially the one about no touching of him ever unless he specifically places her hands, and tells her he wants her for the week and will not share. She is free to go at that point, but must never speak of the arrangement. Grace is confused, but finds him sexy and intriguing so she agrees to stay. What commences between them leads to a reveal of secrets in their pasts and a healing of souls. Thrown into that is an out of control sadist who wants to punish Grace for the "supposed" actions of her mother. Although Kaine has always sought control over everything in his life, he finds that when he is with Grace he has no knowledge of how to handle the new feelings she evokes in him. The book's actions do take place over a week or so's time, but it is a well thought out book with a very satisfying HEA. I loved that two broken characters could reveal their past, overcome it and become whole together. I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Grace finds herself at Club La Laisse getting ready to be auctioned up to the highest bidder. She needs the money....period. That's the only reason she's doing this. Her mother Evelyn is in trouble and Grace needs to help her any way she can. That's when she meets Kaine. Kaine is powerful and always in control. He is at the Club for Grace, who has been aptly named Eden for the evening.
While Grace feels out of control in this situation, Kaine is anything but; he knows what he wants and he intends to get it. Kaine isn't the only man interested in Grace though, and the other man makes his intentions known. Grace is in danger and Kaine feels protective of her, something he has never felt nor allowed himself to feel for a woman before. Kaine's holding back. He has secrets. Secrets that will never see the light of day if he can help it. Kaine keeps a tight leash on his control. So far, Grace has been the only one to see his grip falter.
Kaine's childhood was a difficult one. His father abused him in the worst ways. Everything he is now is because of his work ethic and lifestyle he commits to .
Grace has had a hard life also. She practically raised herself and took on the role of parent for her mother. She loves deeply and protects what is hers.
This is an unconventional love story, but a love story nonetheless.
AWESOME STORYTELLING WITH AMAZING, COMPLEX CHARACTERS ! WELL WRITTEN WITH A VERY COMPELLING STORYLINE AND LOTS OF ACTION ! THE CHEMISTRY WAS SMOKING HOT AND THE SEX WAS EDGY AND PASSIONATE ! ! ! ANOTHER MUST READ FROM RILEY ! ! !

Leashing the Virgin by Riley Rollins, follows the characters of Grace Clarey and Gabriel Arkaine, aka Kaine. When Grace’s mother Eden falls on hard times, Grace finds herself alone and needing money to help her mother with legal fees. Having nowhere else to go, Grace turns to La Laisse, an exclusive club that sells women to the highest bidders – and it just so happens that virgins are worth a lot. When Eden, aka Grace, is brought to the stage, Kaine finds himself drawn to the girl, and finds himself in a bidding war that he eventually wins. The cost, 100k for one night, but Kaine plans on keeping her for an entire week. Kaine has had a difficult past, and has the scars to prove it, so he feels like he must always be in control of everything around him, but the more time he spends with Grace, the more he finds himself wanting to let her past the walls he’s built around himself. Will one week with Grace be enough? When Grace’s past comes back to haunt them, Kaine finds himself doing everything he can to protect the girl he has grown to love. Can they heal each other’s wounds and find their happily ever after together? Or will the past be too much for the pair, and tear them apart?

I received an Advance Reader Copy for Leashing the Virgin by Riley Rollins and voluntarily reviewed this book. Grace Clarey, a poor Jersey girl, puts herself on the auction block at La Laisse (The Leash) to raise enough money to care for her mother, who needs lawyers for a high-profile crime for which she is accused as well as rehab. Gabriel Arkaine, aka Kaine, is the mysterious billionaire who purchases this "virgin crème de la crème" for the evening and for the rest of the 6 days of her contract as well. Grace has a lot on her plate, with her thoughts on Kaine and what he will demand from her, the unwanted attention from another club client, as well as her mother and her crime. Kaine's mantra is to always be in control, driven by events in his childhood, but as soon as he saw this beautiful angelic and innocent girl on the block, little does he realize that his control starts to become unraveled.
The storyline will keep you in suspense with the sexual tension and as things come to light regarding her mother's crime. The pacing picks up quite a bit and became quite engrossing by the last third of the book, and by then, it was a page-turner for me. Another great story from this author!

I received an ARC edition for my honest and voluntary review. I’m so happy and content, I’m literally sitting here just nodding my head and smiling. I loved this book. 5 star review all the way for this one. I literally did not put it down. Started reading at 10PM when my daughter went to bed and it is now 5AM. I’m yawning and contemplating just chugging some coffee and staying up, which will make me miserable. But I regret nothing. What Riley Rollins did with what is normally very dark and sometimes disturbing, no matter if it’s a turn on or not, is remarkable. I was drawn in to Grace and Kaine’s story from the very first chapter. I had just recently gotten done with a series similar to this, but definitely way more dark BDSM and I was ready to start reading something lighter when I got the opportunity to read this book. I will be buying the full version the first moment I can. Well done Riley Rollins. I now know the next author I will be binge reading. Happy Reading!

Holy Smokes..... this book moves, twists, surprises, and is one of the best books by Riley Rollins i've read!!! Kaine has a crushing load of baggage to deal with from his youth and does what he needs to do to succeed and crush the memories. Grace's baggage is no less heartbreaking, but she is dealing with it in a much different way. How they come together is part of the blurb about this book, but how it moves forward was one of the biggest twists ever! The timeframe of this book is short, but when you add up all the pieces of this compelling read, it makes perfect sense and I can't imagine it any other way. Fantastic job and a must read.

I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.
This is an amazing book and I enjoyed it from being to end. I loved Kaine and my heart broke for him. Such a strong man that has gone through so much and now only wants to bring pleasure to women.
Grace is at Club La Laisse to make money, not for herself. But to help her mother who is in big trouble. Grace has such a kind heart and it comes out in the very beginning.
These two people both need to heal and they just might be able to help each other.
Wonderful book and a must read!

Muy bueno. Me gustó el desarrollo que se le dio al tema de la mamá de Grace, hizo la historia más interesante y emocionante. También me gustó que las chicas del club no fueran unas perras con Grace solo para generar drama, porque seamos honestos siempre hay una de esas así que eso le sumó un punto. Sentí la química entre Grace y Kaine desde el primer momento y las escenas eróticas me gustaron bastante. Admiro el valor y el amor incondicional de Grace por su madre. Admito que me hubiese gustado otro cierre para el tema de Cole, pero a pesar de ese detalle la historia estuvo muy buena.

When Grace is desperate for money, she decides the only avenue available is to auction off her virginity. Kaine wins the bid, but he has his own dark secrets and is controlling. No spoilers from me though, you really need to read this for yourself!
This is an intense dark read, and I was hooked and captivated throughout. I love this authors work, and she never disappoints. I recommend this authors work for all readers, and look forward to reading more from her.

Grace and Kaine both have their scars. When she is pushed to make the decision to sell her body, Kanie is there to offer her money and more.
Many authors have taken on this subject and for me it is all about the characters. The author really focused on character development and did not rush their relationship or make it all about sex. I really enjoyed the scenes where they got to know one another. They are both strong people but even the strongest have weaknesses and needs. Their attraction is so strong and there is plenty of heat to the story too.

This is a BDSM story which starts with a a virgin named Grace a.k.a. Eden and a Dom named Kaine. Grace has decided she has no choice but to put herself up for auction at an up class club. Kaine has more money than he knows what to do with. Once a year he attends the auction and this year Grace has captured his eye.
The understanding is that there will be no contact after the week is over. Will this understanding hold up to the light of day? Will Kaine be able to turn his back on what they have shared? I give it 4 stars. I have voluntarily read and reviewed this Advanced Readers Copy without pressure.

This was so much more than I expected! The fact that Kaine was like basically celibate was just an awesome crazy twist on a story that I thought was gonna be pretty clear cut! It made the sexual tension in this story simply OFF THE CHARTS HOT! My only issue was the ending felt a little rushed for me, I wanted more, so much moreeee. It felt like it came to an abrupt wrap-up. BUT I cannot fault the story and loved that there was an element of danger to this story too.

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review (sorry so late). This was a very different read from I've read stories similar to this. There was alot of positive writing, story in between dialogue. The lessons learned were not from the sex between Kaine and Grace, but between their shared past that they kept from one another. I'm glad that the eroticy of this story was in both characters innocence and good heart.

I am voluntarily leaving an honest review of this book Leashing the Virgin by Riley Rolling's based on an advanced readers copy I received. This is the first book I have read by this author and was impressed. This book was written in both the main characters POV's. This books is full of surprises and when you think you know what is going to happen something totally different does. I absolutely fell in love with Grace an Kaine's story and I think you will too!

Grace needs money for a lawyer to help her mom get out of jail and decides to go to La Laisse and auction off her virginity. Kaine is haunted by his past and hasn't been with anyone for a very long time but it isn't until he sees Eden/Grace that he feels something he has never felt. Kaine has the power to help Grace but someone wants her for themselves. Really great read, the story flowed and I liked the connection between Kaine & Grace

Another great story from Riley Rollins!! Grace sets her mind to selling her virginity at an auction to help her mother. When Kaine wins her the attraction is undeniable. I absolutely loved the feeling you got between Kaine and Grace. I loved how the story line interweaves the characters, Kaine's past and a simple case of wrong place, wrong time but how it all brings Grace & Kaine together. Can they heal each other and live happily ever after? Will they make it out with theirs lives? Buy it and find out!

I received a arc copy for an honest review . I really enjoyed this book grace will do anything to help her mother that is even sell the only thing she has left her virginity This book has a lot of twist and turns where you think the bad guy is going to win , but she saved by kaine the guy how bought her thinks she know what he has in store for her ,but she could be more wrong . Kaine has some demons himself that he cant get passed maybe the insoete girl will help heal his wounds and help her mother . This book has a lot of depth the only problem I had with it is when you hit the epilogue it could have been put as an extra chapter other than that I would most defined remand this book
