Book 1 is hott, like need a fan on at all times hott. My god Marcus and Penny are sexual very very sexual and passionate. Hell I felt the steam come off the pages every time they were together. I had a insta blush that didn't seem like it was going any where. They made the pages burn up with desire and much much more. I also got to see them as a couple out side the bedroom. They had real chemistry that was hard to miss right from page 1. I loved how the submission side of things was explained and made the reader feel as if they were learning right along side Penny. I really enjoyed how the author made Penny an average looking person, with some curves, belly fat and rolls. I loved that.
Secret of Desire
Wow I loved Bridget and Connors story full of love, secrets and passion. Its not like the first story in this series where its full of steamy sex this time the back story was more of the focus it did have some sex and wow it was steamy but there wasn't much compared to book 1. Bridget I love this character shes so flipping strong and in a way an Alpha female, mixed with Connor and its like fireworks for the chemistry they have. Connor all alpha and a totally hottie. Made my insides melt with his Domness. They are really amazing together. Deff needed to read book 1 just to get a even better back ground on some information it really helped to understand some of the story. Must read they are my fav couple, they stick through all the ups and downs together and grew together instead of by themselves. Story flow was amazing and fast. I craved more by the end.
Secret of Redemption
This story was a bit different in every way. I was not use to reading about a take charge female character like this but I did like it def was a fresh of breath air that was needed. Mi;es is a different kind of alpha that really makes you dig into the story along with Josie who is a complete 180 from Miles. They however make it work and learn a few things from each other as the grow on the pages. With how things ended and started in this story I was hooked and wanted to cry, scream at both Josie and Miles. I craved the story so much it was well written and worth every word on it. Although not my fav couple it did in fact lead me to fall in love with them. I couldn't wait for every page to be the happy ending I kept hoping for; for the characters. This story I would recommend reading after books 1 and 2.
***I was not asked in any way to leave a review for this story I won this ARC. I left my honest thoughts of my own free will***
LK makes "the lifestyle" so much more inviting and relatable. Too many people don't get the underlying relationship nuances with D/s and she educates readers with respect.
I look forward to reading more books in this series. Great character development, plenty of "oh hell's" and laughs at loud!
What a box set....the stories were amazing and you can't help but fall in love with the characters.... every book was a complete standalone and you felt all the emotions the character went through...I recommend all BDSM lovers to read them...
These three books are so awesome . I love the author. There is intrigue suspence evil men. May contain triggers for some. I can't get enough of this author.
This is a very enjoyable collection of stories. Strong characters, indicate plot lines, action, suspense, and kink all combined into wonderful stories.
Secrets of Submission (Secrets, #1) For being a debut book, this was a fabulous and an intriguing book to read, it grabbed my attention from the first page. I really enjoyed Penny and Marcus's story. I look forward to seeing where Ms Shaw takes this story line. I Highly Recommend this book. Secrets of Desire (Secrets, #2) I really enjoyed this book. The prologue caused some emotional issues to surface along with some tears. I fell in love with Conner and Bridget's characters and their story line. I wanted to reach inside the pages and give bear hugs to Conner and Alex. There is a lot that goes on in this story but for me is was a fairly quick read having read it in one sitting. I just could not put this book down wanting to know what was going to happen next. I look forward to the next book in this series. I highly recommend this read. Secrets of Redemption (Secrets, #3) Wow. This series just gets better and better. This book had me on the edge of my seat from chapter 1. I love Josie and Miles story. If two people deserved to have a HEA its these two. This book has a lot of emotion going on and a time or two I wanted to hug Miles and pop Josie on the back of the head and then later it was hug Josie and pop Miles on the head. This book is a fast paced, emotionally charged, suspenseful, sexy, edge of you seat read. Ms Shaw's writting just gets better and better. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book. I highly recommend this book.
I was hooked with Penny and Marcus. Then Connor and Bridget happen and I think I love their story most. But nothing, and I mean nothing can compare to reading Josie and Miles' love. Only to find out there are more to come?! I can't wait, I just hope I get to know more about Donovan...my mind just keeps going back to him!
Wow! So much suspense. Lots of intrigue. Sexy and spicy in all the right places. Such a great read. Do yourself a favor and get this book. Can not wait for Phebe's book. From a True Fan... Pam James.
LK Shaw wrote three great stories about the power of dominance and the strength in submission. She adds hot scenes, sexual tension, and just the right amount of drama to keep the pace. I love reading these and look forward to the next two books coming out in this series.
I'm a huge fan of BDSM books and this series was recommended by a friend. I loved the chemistry between the couples - Connor and Bridget being my favourite - and the storylines were captivating with the right amount of drama. Looking forward to book 4
15 years ago I found these kind of stories great but nowadays I just have to roll my eyes. This is pure sugarkink with a picture perfect hero with mind reading capabilities. DNF
Three very good well written books, all linking to Club Eden and some characters play minor part in one book then a major part in another. Very good vibes, looking forward to starting volume 2
I only gave a three because the first story was short on character development; the second on emotional development. The third hit all the marks. This is just my feelings. I was ready to give up the series but liked the story lines and theD/s was tasteful and not the whole story. All the stories had “meat on the bones”. So glad I continued. Now on to the rest of the series. Glad it’s KU
