LIVES CHANGE IN A MATTER OF SECONDS
As a huge fan of everything Ms. Jane Henry has written, I was especially excited to see she was starting a new series, and guess what? She delivered once again with Deliverance. The story has a great cast of characters, real-life emotions, mystery, and suspense, and is definitely a page-turner that I didn’t want to put down. I am already excited for more in this series.
Diana McAdams is caught between a rock and a hard place in life. Raising a special needs son who can’t handle change, she has to be there for him, while working on teaching him to embrace and accept changes. Dealing with Chad’s POS father who stirs the pot and exacerbates the issues of his son as if saying, ‘buck up and get over it’ makes it better. The only person in her life that is a support system for both herself and Chad is her best friend, Beatrice.
Tobias Creed is a dominant, a man who expects obedience, and commands respect. He, along with his friend, Seth, own and run a BDSM club called Verge. Tobias could have just about any of the single women in the club setting but is not attached to anyone. He will scene, and also is involved in doing demonstrations.
The plot will have a drunken and angry Diana keying a car that she assumes belonged to the cheating man she had been seeing. Getting caught in the act by the owner of the car comes as a surprise, and now she is due restitution. But what will Tobias demand and how can she afford it?
Take one dominant BDSM club owner and one feisty woman, and you have an amazing tale of power exchange and eventually total submission. Tobias has an air about him that isn’t pushy, but commanders respect. Diana has had to be strong and tough for so long, that when Tobias enters the picture and has a positive effect on Chad, she is overwhelmed with respect and will eventually acquiesce to him. His dominance and control allows her submissive side to let go and fly.
“Don’t move those arms, babe. I wanna f*** you, and I wanna do it on my terms. I like control on a normal day. In bed? I like it completely.”
The story has mystery and suspense due to a serial rapist attacking, beating, raping, and even killing some of the submissive women of the club, and it will link the crimes to Verge. Now the police are involved and scrambling to try and discover if it is one of the Verge members is committing these heinous acts. With life and death issues, Tobias will pull away from Diana as the club is closed down trying to solve this crime and it will not only affect them personally but also Chad. Will an act of disobedience and defiance bring them closers, or tear them apart?
The story has many spanking scenes, views and scenes from inside Verge, and explicit sex scenes including BDSM play. While the crime of rape is mentioned, there are no scenes of this heinous act detailed; it is only mentioned as happening to victims of Verge. The details of Chad is shared in a way that the reader can embrace the challenges a parent faces with a child that suffers OCD and changes and the differences between positive and negative parenting that affect those involved.
