His belt. He wants it around my wrists, against my backside, marking me and making me his...

My boss Elijah Armstrong is cruel and calculating, bruised and beautiful, equal parts hot as fire and cold as ice. He’s also a dominant. And I am so not a submissive.

I know I should say no, should walk out of his office and never look back.

But he’s magnetic, and the dark desires and secrets he keeps are like a drug. He makes me want to get on my knees, to bend over his desk, to call him “sir” whenever he demands.

Every slash of the belt bonds us, every time he pulls me close or takes me to the edge melds our hearts.

But Elijah and I both have secrets.

Secrets that could not only destroy our love, but will put our lives on the line and face us with a devastating choice: Face our long-buried demons together. Or lose each other forever.

Our couple was caught doing naughty things in public. Can they keep a lid on it, or will it become public knowledge?

This is book nine is the series. If possible, I recommend starting from the beginning to understand the characters and how the relationship has developed but you can jump in here with only mild disorientation. The main relationship becomes pretty clear rather quickly.

This is a short erotic story with strong elements of D/S and punishment. The story is very well written and easy to read, with good solid characters. The characters are well developed, but you will have to read the earlier stories to get the backstory. I love our heroine as she is strong and sassy in spite of being in the sub role. Our hero, on the other hand, is a bit of a mess. He comes across as more controlling than caring and emotions literally panic him. It is an interesting dynamic.

The story has an underlying mystery/suspense element which is intriguing and helps move the story forward. There is also more than one steamy scene in the book for our enjoyment. One note of warning: The book does end on a cliffhanger. Still, another very enjoyable chapter in this ongoing saga.

Highly recommended.

Bodyguard, shame and cliffhanger

I quit this series at part seven.... cold turkey....
I could not get a copy of the ARC for part eight and knowing this series would continue, I could not pay the £2+ for each chapter...

And then I was able to get a copy of part nine and without any hesitation I devoured the chapter and I am hooked again, and yes I will have to go back and pay for part eight. Each part carries so much punch of a story missing even one part means you are missing a big part of the story

This chapter is no exception....there is the aftermath of part eight resulting in bodyguards and humiliation but the cliffhanger leaves you anxious and biting your nails whilst waiting for part ten...

Over priced for what we are gettting

First of all I am tired of getting only 5 chapters for $2.99. From now on when I see "PART 1" I won't be buying the book. I am tired of spending over $30 for a book. I have bought many books with over 30 - 40 chapters for $2.99 and read them all at once. With these "PART" books, it takes so long for the next part to come out that you have to go back to the last "PART" to see where the story left off. Another issue is you need an editor of at least a proof reader. The new character you introduced in this "PART" - Palmer has three different first names in the story. Is he Gary, Frank Or Ralph. I find these "PART" books to be nothing more than greed on the author's part.

Oh sweet bejeebers!! So many mysteries swirling around. Hailey's boyfriend has broke up with her, removed all items from her life like they never existed. Abigail is talked into going to a club with her so she can meet her Mr. Right Now to get over things. Elijah doesn't want her going at all. There are too many unexplained things happening they don't have a handle on. Knowing she's not going to win that argument, Abigail convinces Elijah to go with her instead of letting Hailey down. What happens at the club is so shocking, you'll wonder where this is going and how it's all tied together! What a cliffhanger to end this whole bazar scenerio on. I love it!

Steamy engaging story

I enjoy Hannahs characters and writing but i feel ripped off and upset 45 pages at 2.99 and grammatical errors are frustrating . Your left hanging and it takes forever for another short chapter you forget the story line
Last series i will do of Hannahs .I Avoid any other authors doing this type of chapter books . Do your readers right and do a whole book
Id pay 6.99 for 300 plus pages your stories are great .

The story line is evolving in a way I had not expected. The characters are developing along with the evolution of the story. I am enjoying this series and I am intrigued. What is next for Abigail and Elijah? What is happening with Hailey? I cannot wait to see what happens next.

I love the stories that overlap but yet are stand alones. This story has a little of everything, sweet romance, sexy overbearing and frustrating alpha male and a beautiful woman who has the right heart and spirit. Thoroughly enjoying and entertaining. A great boxed set.

Abigail willingly will do anything for the man she tried not to fall in love with, Elijah. Read the wonderfully written erotic short read book in the series.

His Belt ( Part Nine)

It's heat is burning so hot that the pages are singed. The twist in this series is off the chart.
