Adele: First Encounter.

Rate this book
This book is the first in a series called, ‘Adele’. The whole story is about two people, both looking for what seems to be missing in their lives. Both powerful in their public lives, one struggles with the need to give up everything and not feel weak and frail, the other looks for his missing half.
This first book describes their meeting, the subsequent banter for dominance and their first sexual encounter. Adele is an independent and high-powered lawyer, and James is a charismatic and up and coming architect. However, James is a lifestyle Master. He’s not had a pet for quite some time as he’s very particular as to who his partners will be.
He’s at a very boring charity banquet and is about to leave when he spots Adele. At first sight, there’s an instant attraction on his behalf towards her. However, Adele is more reserved, being some nine years older and much more cautious. Still, from that point on, his goal is to have her submit to him and become his pet. James is well connected and can open almost any door in the city of Boston or further adrift if the need arises.

Two wealthy persona of mind and career feels something missing. They have a luxurious life but still a boring life. Twenty-nine-year-old James Drake and thirty-eight-year-old Adele Deane meet at a charity banquet.

James is a wealthy rising star, very confident and used to getting what he wants. Unable to fit at a boring party he wanders when he sights a gorgeous girl and he needs to have her.

“It is a pity, Mr. Drake, that you are not older.” I pause to look him directly in the eyes.
“Your boldness is refreshing, though.”

Adele is an overachieving lawyer. She is a confident and headstrong woman who is in charge of her life. When James interrupts her conversation she is intrigued. She doesn't make it easy for him to woo her for she is reserved.

"But, what I can’t find out, and has plagued my mind since the banquet, is what makes Adele Deane tick?”

James is a Dom who hasn't had a pet since a while and Adele seems just what he wants but Adele who is older and cautious doesn't easily fall for him. James wants to settle down and Adele isn't ready to change herself. He is adamant they are meant to be.
It's an younger hero and older heroine romance with the BDSM trope. I found the romance lacking which I think will blossom in the next book and the "wealthy-rich" is a bit overdone. The writing is different, too much inner monologue but that connects us to the characters more. This book is available in Smashwords for free and is in e-book form only.

I love reading in the BDSM world... James a successful architect is just touching the surface with Adele a powerful lawyer. James sees Adele at a boring party they both attend and have decided he wanted her as his new pet. They are both are wealthy and missing something in their lives. James pushes Adele limits she is not use to relinquishing herself to another. James is 10 years younger which makes Adele uncomfortable thinking he will become bored of her. Which makes you wonder why did James choose Adele as his next pet? Will he be successful in making her submit? You must read to get all the answers.

I enjoyed this book. Adele is a strong woman that never thinks about submitting to a man but after meeting James I think her perception of submitting has changed. He has changed her world and sexual experience and left her wondering how to deal with these emotions. James is ready to teach her about the Dom/Sub relationship without pushing too hard. Adele will take time to think about what she wants and I hope she'll come around.

James & Adele

29 year old James Drake locks his eyes onto a stunning red head .
Adele is her name a luscious looking creature.
An interest has sparked in James as he looks her over he knows he wants her.
Adele is slightly older can feel the heat from James.
A few weeks later James sends a limousine to collect Adele- she has no idea that he James will be in the limousine .
During their date Adele is feeling a strong attraction to James .
They meet again James is at axels apartment he wants her badly but she needs to submit .
They kiss which leads to a dance of hands that touch every where then the passion begins.James takes her and indulges in her body both lusting after each other.

After receiving the best sex for a long time Adele is also feeling overawed not knowing if she could continue with James as she will have to submit to him and in her world of business she doesn't submit.
I go carried away while reading I had finished before I knew so on to book 2 .
Very well written and the story flowed .
Sexually explicit in a beautiful way.
Written as Pat Jay

I think the author has built up his promise of a hot sultry read, warned of explicit sexual scenes, but failed to deliver.
It was a short read, with one sex scene that wasn't particularly amazing. It was all a bit bland, in my opinion. No erotica and I didn't sense the attraction between them, it was all a bit clinical.

I have to admit to having a dislike for authors that sell you seven books, that are way too short and could actually fit quite comfortably into two books, in order to improve his royalties. Yes, you have to make a living, absolutely. But don't take advantage of your readers.

On a positive note, it was written well, but for me, I won't be purchasing the next book.

Hot erotic story

This is a really great story that starts out as a headstrong woman who takes charge at work and in her personal life. Finds herself in the presence of younger man who is also headstrong. She is convinced that he is not what's she's looking for. He is amazed by her beauty and is sure that she wants him and tries to get her. This has amazingly hot sex scenes I read from cover to cover I couldn't put it down. Another great book from this author I need to buy the next book now to see what happens. I would definitely recommend this book

H O T with a capital "H"

The story was sensual, exciting and sexy, entwined with passion and romance.
The writing style was so different from any I've read before. A refreshing change and easy to follow.
This is the first of EroticStorm's books I have read and I intend reading more.
If you're looking for a hotter, sexier more erotic read than Fifty Shades or Sylvia Day's books then I highly recommend buying any of EroticStorm novels and be prepared to feel the stimulating emotions of a Sexy Adult read.

This is a new Author for me.
I really enjoyed this Book. The Author waste no time introducing the characters and I like that it does not drag on. The Adele and James chemistry is hot, intense, and their need for each other is undeniable until Adele freaks out and leaves James. The faith he has in Adele to come back to him is amazing. The Author has done his best to connect you to James and Adele. I felt as if I was being drawn into their bed and could feel each touch, each kiss, their passion. Thank you EroticStorm.

Great start

Great start for the series however, if I'd known that it is was 8 part story,I wouldn't have bought it bc it's way to short of a story in each book which will draw it out over several months when I bought it ,it didn't mention that it was in 8 parts only at the end of book one. Other than that very good book.

I found this to be a very interesting story which I really enjoyed. Two strong willed, financially secure individuals meet and they have a strong sexual attraction. But one is afraid of any type of change! Can't wait to read more about James and Adele!

An excellent book. The writer has you feeling like you are there and it is happening to you. This is a series so it is a cliff hanger, but worth it. Just let yourself go and enjoy the feelings.
