Strict #7
Strict
I met him in the kind of place where bad things happen. The kind of place where women fall to their knees, call men sir, and get lashed with a belt. Gage Stratford. Dark, damaged, cold-blooded and gorgeous, with secrets so deep you could drown. He touched me that night, made me feel things that excited and terrified me in equal measure. When I turned up at my internship the next day, I was shocked to find he was my new boss. My billionaire boss was the one who had made me feel like I couldn’t help but fall to my knees and do whatever he commanded. He says he can’t stay away from me. That he needs to make me his submissive, to take me over his desk, to punish me and make me his. But our horrific pasts have made us who we are, and to get close to him means to crack each other open and expose the very things we’ve worked so hard to bury. And when our secrets come out, not only our love but also our lives will be on the line -- leaving us bound together forever, or destroyed and shattered beyond repair. Being together isn’t an option. But staying apart is impossible….

The battle of the wills continues...............but maybe both sides are finally willing to soften
This book in the series starts with Chloe and Gage back at his penthouse in NYC after having driven back from Syracuse. Chloe is now homeless, jobless, family-less, basically broke as she only has $60 in her bank account and a suitcase of clothes that she was able to pack.
Chloe and Gage are still in a battle of wills with her wanting him to open up and him wanting her to do as she is told, no questions asked. Well it seems that neither of them are about to give in anytime soon.
The next morning Chloe escapes her body guard with a threat of calling the police on him. She then receives a phone call from Stacy Clemens, assistant to Nicholas Cove from Cove Capital to set up an interview for the next day. As Chloe was about to getting ready to leave the city and they arrange a hotel room for her for the night. But of course Gage is not going to let her escape and he calls her after she has checked into the hotel. He is not happy with her but he has some information on Grace, Chloe's best friend who is missing, and gets her to come to his office. This puts her on a "stakeout" for the day where Grace's debit card was last used. With no sign of Grace Chloe finally goes back to her hotel room and falls asleep. But sleep will not be what she gets when Gage shows up and gains entry to her room and then slides into bed with her. He finally is ready to open up to her on what he plans on doing and also his feelings for her. She opens up to him also. In the end it looks like Gage and Chloe may finally enjoy some real carnal fun, but we will have to wait for the next part to see.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Chloe would like to blame Gage for the changes in her circumstances but has to admit to both herself and Gage they are a result of her choices. Gage has found some news about Grace but there's been no sighting of her yet. Chloe got a call for an interview concerning another internship. So much emotion from both of these characters and they seem to have broken down a wall but will it be enough? We're left with a cliffhanger that makes me wonder whether the decision has been made or if there will be something that changes things. I can only hope I don't have to wait too long. I was fortunate enough to be given an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

This series keeps getting better and better through each and every part. And this part doesn’t disappoint. Gage gets Chloe back to the city but his promise for more is short lived. He will have to fight against everything to not give into what his heart wants. He does finally give Chloe a glimpse into his plans for River and the rest of his family. And oh that cliffhanger that we were left on! I can’t wait for the next book

This book is so intense. It has you guessing what will happen next. Gage is fighting his growing feelings for Chloe.

I like the story but the serial nature of these is starting to bother me. Each installment can be read in about an hour, I'd rather just read the full book when its complete

Tiene tanto suspenso e intriga.
Ella se va a vivir a la casa de Gage porque los padres practicamente "la echaron" de la casa porque amanecio en el carro con Gage tenia la ropa rota y la muñeca marcada con morado .... lo que los hizo pensar que ya era una mas de BDSM tal y como era Cassidy su otra hija que murio en manos de "su amo" hace 2 años. Esta muy reciente por eso ellos se enfurecen con ella y no la dejan entrar mas a la casa.
Ahora, estando en la casa de Gage pasa lo que tiene que pasar en serio y este si que quedo "en punta" ... que pasara ?? el 8 lo dira.
