💞 Safe Sane and Consensual does not always include the heart 💞
3.7 hearts 💖💖💖💖
This was an emotional roller-coaster for me
Tristan was the perfect Dom within his club - He was practiced ,careful ,all about the rules - until Cassie walked through his doors - There was something so enticing and enchanting about her submission - what began as an innocent exchange begins to blossom into what may have been the most epic of love stories -
Did you catch that? 👀
Our perfect Dom fails to recognize the one truth for him and Cassie that exists within the walls of his club as much as it does outside - Without Trust you cannot have Love
In his expeditious attempt to keep his Cassie and protect the members of his club he may have just cost himself the love of his life 💔
Hawthorne did an absolutely flawless job of bringing me in and holding me captive throughout this story - she blended the elements of mystery and subterfuge with the emotional aspects of deception and miscommunication into a story that will melt even the coldest of hearts

Trust and Betrayal: A Hidden Gem Romance by Lexi Hawthorne is a good book. This story is about Cassie and Tristan. They have a Submissive and Dominate relationship. A relationship that started as trainee and trainer grows into so much more when emotions become involved. But when the trust they share is compromised can their relationship survive? I enjoyed this sexy story and it's emotional complexities. I am posting an honest review after reading an ARC copy of this book.

Love, lust, and bondage...

A compelling look at the world of BDSM with a romantic twist. Surprisingly in depth, the author shows the reasonings behind some of the rules and structures of the BDSM lifestyle while weaving and sensuous tale of live and trust.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys an erotic love story.
