Buried inside all of us are dark desires, some we refuse to acknowledge. But we crave…
I hunger for a powerful man, one strong enough to tame the woman inside.
For highly respected attorney Joelle Parker, the words unleashed a hunger she could no longer control. Her days are filled with prosecuting monsters, vile men and women content on vanquishing the sanctity of innocent lives. Her nights are something else entirely. Fantasies of finding a strong man, one who could yank away the tight confines of her conservative life, finally filter into her waking hours. Tasked with prosecuting a brutal and very political murder case, her needs are placed on hold – until a chance meeting changes everything.
Randolph ‘Craze’ Mitchell is a loner, preferring long rides on his Harley to human companionship. A man of the law, he has a difficult decision to make: whether or not to run for a seat in the State Senate. Every aspect of his life is well planned, organized and exactly what he doesn’t want. His dark desires, sexual needs, are kept locked away. No woman can withstand his requirements. No one knows the real man or the secrets he holds. Painting is his only solace; he’s come to terms with remaining very much alone – until a vivacious woman crosses his path, daring to push aside his tightly woven shield of armor.
The two enter into a passionate and intense journey, the question of consent never far from the surface. Both crave what the other offers, as well as sharing concern about discovery, but they can’t stay away. Every act shared pushes their respective boundaries, fulfilling their carnal needs, until reality thrusts them into the light of day – a blackmailer has surfaced. Craze is faced with a horrific choice, one that could end both of their careers. Can he use his best judgement, or will he succumb to his personal demons?
Can Joelle and Craze trust each other enough to explore their needs together? Their chemistry is off the chain ¬– is it real or just a chance encounter? Can they join together to protect each other from public scrutiny?

This was a pretty good read it was nice to read about a woman who wasn't in her 20's. Joelle Parker has been married to her career, and at nearly fifty she is still moving up in the ranks. She is a no-holds barred prosecuting attorney not afraid of taking on the big boys. After winning a major case she is tired and needs a break. Joelle doesn't have many friends and she doesn't have a sex life she has dark desires that are unfulfilled. Randolph ‘Craze’ Mitchell is a loner he is an alpha male and in control of all parts of his life and a sadist in the bedroom. This was a really good book the sex scenes were hot as hell. This was my first time reading this author and I really enjoyed this book it was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling I am looking forward to reading more of her work.
Piper Stone has written herself one very steamy, sexy romance with His Judgement! If you like your love stories with a side of kink, then this book will definitely get your motor revving. It sure did mine!
Joelle Parker is a high powered, take no prisoners, prosecutor by day who works on high profile cases. But at night, she’s a submissive looking for a dominant man to hurt her in all of the right ways and take total control. She tries to find that in a local BDSM club, but she follows a hot guy into a biker bar one night and finds she may have just found the dom of her dreams.
Craze gets off by using and hurting women through BDSM. He finds Joelle to be perfect to let out his beast to play, and she loves it. But since neither Joelle or Craze trade personal information, Joelle doesn’t realize that Craze is in the legal profession as well, and when the truth comes to light, it might just destroy not only their relationship, but their careers as well!
This was a smartly written book with an ending that was a bit of a surprise. Piper Stone writes some truly hot and steamy scenes that may require the use of asbestos gloves!!
What an amazing, emotionally, and intensely hot story, it is raw, honest, dark and full of passion. While it is part of the Dirty Little Secrets series, these books each read completely as a stand-alone. The two main characters have a sexual chemistry that sizzles right off the pages. During their roller coaster ride of a BDSM relationship, they don’t share personal details, occupations, or even last names. He will know her only as Joelle, and she will know him as Craze.
“Exploring the darkness dwelling within us is perhaps the most incredible journey we’ll ever take. That is if one is willing to let go.”
Joelle Parker has been married to her career, and at nearly fifty, she is still moving up in the ranks. She is a no-holds-barred prosecuting attorney, not afraid of taking on the good-ole-boys club and knocking them down to size. But Joelle has no personal relationships beyond a few coworkers and one good friend. She doesn’t date, but she does have her dark desires, even if they only remained locked in her mind.
“Have you ever wanted to have a man really dominate you, take full control? Have you ever wished that you could find a man who saw through you basic bull$hit to the woman inside, deflowering every concept of a relationship? Turning to the darker side? Have you ever wanted to be punished for infractions on a regular basis?”
Winning a major case has her on a high, but needs a break, maybe even a vacation. But that isn’t to be when her boss places her on a highly controversial and published murder case. On the way home, a traffic detour, a sexy man on a Harley peaks her interest, and then she does the unthinkable by following him into a biker bar. And that is where she will meet Craze.
Randolph ‘Craze’ Mitchell is a loner, a man with dark needs, one that is about control and power. He has devoted his life to seeking justice and righting wrongs. But when he is on his own time, his sadistic side wants to come out and play. He is wanted to make a new difference in his life, by running for a Senate seat, and then he starts getting phone calls with threats. One more case, and then he should be ready to declare his political intentions, or will things that go on behind closed doors between two consenting adults tarnish his ambitions?
The plot will have two people meeting by chance, but a meeting that has each craving the other. These two dark souls are needing to come out and play, one desires to control and the other needs to submit. What starts as a fluke chance of meeting, becomes a game of cat and mouse. But when they do get together, they are the yin to the others yang, him controlling and her submitting.
“You’re a very conservative woman at work, powerful in your own right. You go about every day playing the part, hiding behind the mask you’ve woven so tightly around you that you’re suffocating. No one knows the real you. You pine away for something dark; a kink most would run away from. But not you. You hunger for a man to take control, showing you the darker side of passion, one that will leave you breathless with need.”
“The smell of him, exotic yet manly, made her groan. She could feel his muscles through the leather. He was all male. He was pure sin. He was….” Hold on tight, sunshine. Gonna be a bumpy ride. “He could possibly be her downfall.”
The story is a thrilling, steamy, highly erotic romance, with mystery, suspense, blackmail, danger, angst, secrets, passion, and very explicit erotic BDSM and sex scenes.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. Joelle Parker is a prosecutor working on a case. The defense attorney is a nasty piece of work. A jackass she hates. He warns her to watch her bavk. A closet submissive who yearns for a dominant to take her over and own her, she meets a man in a biker bar. He is beautiful, tough and dominant. He is known to his friends as Craze. Together they are wild. He wants to lose his hard held control with this woman he craves. She wants to be owned, dominated, subjugated. Can they find their way in this new relationship without letting the world in on their secrets? BDSM, anal
This is not a read if you like sweet, gentle romance with a few spanks here & there. This can be quite graphic & severe & will not be to everyone's tastes, but it did come with a good story & well written characters. I found this probably a bit outside of my personal comfort zone but the story is handled well & both characters are treated respectfully. Well written with a twist at the ending that gave me a surprise.
His Judgement is a great book. Joelle is a prominent attorney with dark desires that she can't keep buried any longer. She is working on a very high profile case and is given a promotion. She decides to throw caution to the wind and follows a guy on a motorcycle which turns out to be a dom but the rest of the story is so good you might think you have it all figured out but you will see you were wrong.
His Judgment is book three of the Dirty Little Secret series. Joelle and Craze are made for each other. They are drawn to each other like a moth to light. When they are together, the air is sizzling. The intimate encounters held a lot of heat and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book from start to finish.
Warning, this is Not for the faint of heart as not just a little light playful spanking story. That being said I loved this story. The characters are developed. The plot line is easy to follow. Of course this book is also highly erotic with lots of hard core kink thrown into the mix. Please read this book if you want some edge to your reading.
