Club Avalon #7

Live for Me

Rate this book
One week.
Loki Jackson spent one delightful week with a lonely and misunderstood woman from Washington D.C. Months later, he still couldn't get his Christmas fling with Myna out of his head, and it affected every aspect of his life. He couldn't tattoo without seeing her face in the ink, couldn't pierce without wondering what she would look like with her own shiny baubles. Couldn't dominate anyone in Avalon because, well, they just weren't her.
Myna, his little songbird.
He was one lovesick puppy, and tired of it.

Myna Cookson couldn't find satisfaction in anything. D.C. didn't hold the same allure it once did, and her exile from the community she found peace in was complete. Persona non grata.
Her work as a physical therapist paid the bills, but she wanted more than that.
She wanted Loki—a man she craved, a Dominant she missed.
Her perspective on her role in the BDSM community had been skewed. Knowing she wasn't a Domme, was barely a Switch, made her behavior in D.C. all the more embarrassing.
A visit to Phoenix might cheer her up, but would it really fix anything?

Life might seem normal on the surface, but something nefarious stalks Club Avalon.
When the enemy makes a move, who will be the last ones standing?

The final book in a wonderful series. Kay Elle Parker has really shown us just how great a storyteller she is. This comes so close to being my favorite BDSM Club series I've read in a long time. If you've just picked this book up to read and liked it, then you most definitely need to start at the beginning of the series to really understand, well, everything. You are truly missing out if you don't.

This is not just a sexy BDSM story, but a culmination of a family (because that's what they are) that has endured so much. This particular story is about Loki and Myna. Two people who we met briefly in another story. But they've been separated because of stubbornness and not being willing to trust each other when it comes to how they really feel. Loki is the resident playboy going from one submissive to the next and having a grand old time. Until he meets Myna and that all changes. And that is where the story starts. Myna is basically in the same boat. She decides it was just a fling and heads back to DC where she lives and works. But all that gets upended when one catastrophe after another hits her.

I loved Loki, but who wouldn't? He's gorgeous, fun, and intense and I honestly couldn't find one single thing I didn't love about him. Myna took me a bit to understand. But there are always underlining reasons why these women are submissive. And everyone has their own story to tell. And that is where the story of a serious D/S relationship lies, at least to me. Dominants are a special breed of men. They see and feel what a submissive needs and there you have the start of a relationship based on trust and then all the rest of the wonderful things that come from that, if you're lucky! Loki and Myna have their ups and downs and everyone is thrown into a horrid situation that's been in the making since the very first book in this series. So many emotions come at you from this story that it's impossible to put down until the end. And that's why it's 3 in the morning and I'm up writing a review that I could not let wait.

I can not say enough about how much I loved this story. The men are what I'd want in a good dominant, but it really is the women in this story that really pull you in. Such strength they have to endure and thrive in everything that is thrown at them. I've read all the adjectives that describe what this story holds and I can't add anything to it. All I can say is you're truly missing out if you don't read the whole series. And thank you Kay for giving us a story so full of everything I love. Please don't ever stop writing.

I have been patiently waiting for Myna and Loki’s story and Kay delivered it with so much heart and compassion that I could not put this book down.
Myna has struggled since her and Loki parted ways and Loki has not faired much better, pining for the love of his life.
Live For Me was full of so much passion and love, as well as misunderstanding and lack of communication. There was so many beautiful and loving moments but there was also moments of sadness, tragedy and grief. This Avalon family banded together to protect and support each other in ways only a family of your choosing can, one for all and all for one motto.
This Avalon series is unbelievably awesome and the characters are so real with their emotions and their dilemmas, the reader feels as though they are living and breathing the story, witnessing all the happiness and sorrow. That is the kudos to Kay Elle Parker’s spectacular storytelling.

If ever there was a series to read, and a book that ties it all up, Live For Me in the Avalon series is the one. A definite 10 plus plus plus star story. This story was everything and more! My emotions are literally scattered all around me. The amount of tissues that I went thru, between happiness and sadness is abundant. But to me that shows how exceptional this story is and how incredible the author is who wrote it. I’ve loved Loki’s character because while a playboy, he wants what all his friends have, and that is someone to love. When he met Myna, there was an instant attraction but both were scared, and she went back to her life. But she knew that her life was about to change and she needed Loki in it. But could these two stubborn people get past their issues and find love?

As in usual fashion, this author takes you on a wild ride of which you never want to get off. Plus the characters from all the other books in this series are interspersed and their stories are told as well, which I thrived for. Questions are asked and questions are answered. Make no mistake, you will cringe at times, you will be angry, your heart will stop beating, your tears will flow, you will be sad and you will be happy. But all in all, this story is brilliantly written and is utter perfection. And the ending? You will never see it coming! So run, don’t walk to one click the entire series. I guarantee you will love it just as much as I do!

This may be Loki and Myna’s story and a great as that is it is so much more. It ties up all the stories from the other couples as well as the Dominic and Rita saga that has been a constant in all the books. There are some really sad parts and as everyone has cautioned be prepared for tears. It wasn’t the death and destruction that made me cry, but Atticus’ speech to Alicia had me in floods of tears. There are some totally unexpected developments, some really horrific and some really lovely and sweet. There were times I had to put the book down because I knew something was going to happen and I had to steel myself to keep on reading. I cannot believe that this is the end of the Avalon books, it was a wonderful series and I am so sad it is over.

This has been a roller-coaster of emotions.
Reading the first chapter I dug out the family-pack of tissues, and boy, did I need them right until the very last sentence.
Ms Parker managed to pack so much into those pages. Not just a story of two people, but a whole community going trough heartbreak and loss, betrayal and sacrifice, death and destruction, insanity and bravery, old friends and new ones, the safety of a chosen family and the danger of toxic bonds.
But through and above everything the love and devotion that binds this, so very different - but united in their basic attitude to life - group, is strong enough to let them go through unimaginable sacrifice and privation and emerge stronger at the other end.
I need more of this!!!

This book this series is breathtaking beautiful and you will feel so close to these characters I know I did. My heart is so full.
Myna my God that woman has a beautiful pure soul that will just have you in tears all of them so brave, strong, loving, on their journey to destruction that leads to torturous heartache with so much pain you can feel all of it.

First of all, a couple of FYI's........you're going to NEED tissues or a crying towel. And also, if you have triggers, you need to make sure you're safe. I know my review won't do this wonderfully awesome book justice but I think this one is my favorite in the series! I've loved each book but this one brought out so many emotions. Ms. Parker is a genius storyteller and this whole series is proof of that. Loki and Myra are a big part of this but the rest of the characters show up and boy were they needed. There is betrayal, destruction, death, trauma, so much drama, love, loyalty, strength, friendship, family, old friends, new friends ( I hope we get to see more of the newest characters that showed up) and determination! This book put me through the emotional ringer. I loved Alicia, who showed she's way more than just a "Little". I think the Masters will be more careful in what they say in front of her from now on! LOL I would really like to wipe this from my mind so I could read it again for the first time!! It's that good!! And while it can be considered a standalone, I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend starting with the first book, Dance for Me and read each one in order. This way you will know all the characters and what they have been through in the past. Plus there is a reoccurring theme running through the whole series that will be resolved in this book. Nope, no spoilers from me, you need to read this series, pronto!!! If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would. It's that good!!!

I'm so glad to finally have gotten my hands on this book. This is a binge-worthy series if ever there was one, and I'm sure I'll be rereading it often in future.

This isn't just a Loki and Myna story! You get ALL the awesomeness of the mains from the previous books. But if you’ve never read the other stories, you'll probably still enjoy this since it's full of emotionally charged scenes, hot sexy ones, some very hilarious moments, but most of all .........Lots of LOVE!!
But to get the full depth of how much these characters mean to each other, the lengths they've gone to in the past to keep each other safe, sane and happy, you need to dive into book one.
I mean, I myself was cheering in certain parts and while I bet you'll be going........gasp? Wtf?? in those parts....... Cause you know, you DIDN'T READ THE OTHERS!! LOL
But seriously......this has Hot Dominants, sexy, snarky submissives who know how to push all the buttons of their other halves and some truly epic douchebag bad guys who deserve everything they get......I mean everything 😈
10 out of 10 stars.....way to end a series with a bang.

Oh my! There are just some books that a review really can't do justice, and, in my opinion, this is one of them. Loki and Myna are just...incredible. The complex emotions and raw feels they inspire are deep, intense and inescapable. Trust me when I warn you that this is not a book that lets you evade its fierce clutches by simply putting it down and walking away. Because once it has you in its vicious hold you are owned by it until the very last page is turned and even then, it lingers. Haunting you in the way that only a truly remarkable book can. Dark, decadent, steamy, poignant, emotional, powerful and tremendously moving. this razor-sharp edged read will not only earn a place on your keeper shelf but permanently steal a place for itself in your heart and mind. Of my own accord, I am posting a candid review.

Lord... I don't even know where to start with this. I absolutely loved every single word and sentence in this book. I am going to say have your tissues close for this one. Its gonna break you in the best possible ways and put you back together at the end. Kay had me crying and laughing... sometimes at the same damn time, all thru this book. It was a heartbreaker, and a heart mender all in one. I have no idea how she does it. But I would love to live in a corner of her mind when she creates these books.

Myna and Loki's story was one I had been waiting to read. I absolutely loved it. I loved how sassy and feisty Myna was. I loved the fact that she wasn't just willing to forgive and forget when Loki did her wrong. Yes it might have been easily solved if Loki had just listened.. but he had no interest in listening at the beginning. He was to busy feeling sorry for himself. I loved that she had to give him a piece of her mind before he finally realized what he was fucking up. Along with the help from Daddy Att and Grit.

I have to say that I was glad that Loki realized very quickly how much of an ass he was being and did an about face in a hurry to try and fix all the pain he was causing Myna. It's not very often that you see somebody own up to their mistakes and try to fix them. But Loki certainly did that in spades.

There is so much I want to say about this book... but most of it would fall into spoiler categories and I can't do that. I hate spoilers when it comes to books. I think its much better to dive between the pages and discover the story on your own without going in already knowing what is gonna happen.

I have to say that I really hate that this is the close of this series. I am going to miss these characters so much! I have grown to love all of them and they will always have a special place in my heart. I do so hope that we get to see each of these characters in future books somehow.

In the last Club Avalon installment, we get both the final couple of Loki & Myna, as well as the showdown with Jasper's psycho parents. I liked what we got of Loki and Myna's dynamic, I only wish I knew them better as a couple first, beyond the few hints in Liam's story. From what I did learn of Myna, her personality was up there with Alicia as being one of my favorites (not a shrinking violet). I enjoyed the female camaraderie that surrounded her as soon as she entered the fold, which is really a driving part of the whole series (friends to family). Full disclosure, I don't typically choose baby/pregnancy storylines, but with the developing relationship, Myna & Loki's chemistry, and the threat of Jasper's family bringing drama and violence into the mix, I didn't feel like the story was wholly focused on that.

Even through the last part involving Jasper's parents had me completely uncertain where things would end up, I shouldn't have worried. Having everyone band together to stand against them were some of my favorite chapters. If you've read this whole series through, or are thinking about starting, you'll be glad where everyone ends up.

This book is the culmination of the Club Avalon series. It is also the story arc for Master Loki and Myna (whose story started in a story in the _Christmas at the Club_ anthology, but the events of that meeting are recapitulated in this book).

There is a LOT of plot, so I am going to be careful and not give spoilers. In the midst of Master Loki and Myna restarting (from a very bad point) their abruptly-dropped relationship, an old and incredibly-dangerous nemesis has targeted all of Club Avalon. Love happens, violence happens (lots of violence happens), lives are ended, lives are changed, lives are begun.

I LOVE this book. But you really should read the rest of the series first (which is well worth reading).

Epic Ending

Would have finished the book sooner but kept having to stop and cry. As Myna returns to town, Like vows to stay away. After meeting and finding she lives him too, they try again. Meanwhile Dominic comes at the group again. I love how the author settled this portion of the series and Loke and Myna get their HEA.

Oh, this book. It about killed me in places. It is the perfect book to end this series with.

Myna spent a perfect week with Loki, and then came home to her life crashing down around her ears. Loki, meanwhile, was wallowing in self pity.

I think that Myna was pretty amazing. She survived so much before she made it back to AZ, and then Loki kind of piled it higher and deeper on her. But she managed to pull herself through it and pull others with her.

There were some really terrible things that happened, many of which upset me. However, I do have to say that there is one particular event that I wasn't overly affected by.

But, really, fantastic book.

All To Live For….

OH
MY
GOD…
This book, this series is just one massive highly rated emotional rollercoaster that just doesn’t want to stop, YES this may be the last book in the Avalon series(😭) but WOW, WOW, WOW this story had it all..
Loki and Myna had a week long beautiful relationship before Myna had to return to her life, work in another state but due to circumstances beyond her control, she lost virtually everything and then the consequences of that weekend come to life…so with little choice she returns to Avalon…but not into the waiting arms of Loki…
Loki life was just cruising by like it always had but getting angry with not hearing anything from Myna since she left, until she shows up so let just say that meeting didn’t go well but when he realises his mistake, Loki tries to win Myna back…
But with more happening in this story and from the whole series ( murder, mayhem, explosions, thrilling suspense, threats, psychological twisted family members….yes this has it all and then some..definitely a 11 out of 10 read (even if I can only do 5 stars)…

This latest installment of the Club Avalon series is filled with tons of twists and turns, tragedy, and finally triumph. This book told the story of Loki and Myna. Their story began with a weeklong tryst over the holiday season and picks up again a few months later. I love how the author ties all of the major characters from the series together in every book, and this one is no different. There are so many things going on all over the place...births and deaths, fire and misfortune, love and more love. The sad loss of one character and the loss (finally!) of a few others...the good guys prevail in the end and Myna and Loki find their happily ever after, too ;)

so much more than just Loki & Myna’s story! 🤓

The first read book of this New Year and what an amazing story it was! I found my self falling into Club Avalon getting to know all the characters and connecting on a level, almost like a friend it not quite. That’s the overall of all the books I’ve read in this series. But this one was a little tougher. (This is a warning that this story could have triggers for some). This story took a ride on the dark side. It starts with reconnecting to a love that was once lost. Then all hell broke out. It was an intense read. One that yanked on the heartstrings. You felt everything that all went through. Friends, family come together to battle with evil so wicked you will feel yourself unable to move or breathe until the end. Once again this story was a fantastic read and will hold you captive. And knowing this story was leaning on the dark side in some areas. I must say this too.. the connection between these characters were amazingly hot and caring once the finally came together. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Kay Elle Parker and Club Avalon is getting to know a family. This isn't just a Club BDSM erotica it's about the characters and connecting on a level, almost like a family and in this case a better family.
This story is a ride filled with action some on the dark side. In the beginning reconnecting to a love that was lost because of so much bad luck.
Then hell, destruction, kidnapping, so much action going on it was an intense road to follow to the end. Everyone coming together to battle an evil so horribly wicked you can't put this down until the end. This story is a fantastic read and it holds you captive. The chemistry and connection between all these couples are so amazing, they are hot, caring, and the epilogue is perfect. My only complaint is this is the final novel in this series. Although there is a future story coming our way to look forward to hopefully to visit again with the whole family.

This series is one of the very best I’ve read. The relationships are so real, and so well drawn I just hope against hope they continue in more books. I don’t want to say goodbye to Avalon.

There Are Not Enough Words!!

There are stories that you read, and they stick with you.
You may have laughed out loud, and you may also have shed a tear or two.

I know which stories I’ve enjoyed, but sometimes, I forget the characters or details - not here. Not in Avalon.

This book gets into your bloodstream. It is the essence of your existence while you are engaged with the story. The characters are unique and memorable. The plot will make you gasp, sigh and walk away for a moment, before tearing back to see what happened. Laundry will be forgotten. Dinner? Better order take out.

Raw, gritty, emotional, scintillating and more adjectives than I have room for here. Do yourself a favor and take a visit to Avalon. If you are new, start at the beginning - you will be glad you did.

***** I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book *****

Live For me is the final book of the Club Avalon series and what a way to end it! This book took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time! I love Myna and Loki and couldn’t wait for their story. Myna is feisty, sassy, smart, kind, and strong! She will stand up for what she believes and protect those she loves with everything she has. She is truly one of my favorite FMCs! Loki may be the youngest of the Avalon Masters but he is still just as intimidating, protective, and dominating as the others!

This whole series is more than just erotica. It is about finding out who you are and loving yourself despite your flaws or past traumas. It is about family and acceptance and love and friendship. It is about knowing that no matter what you go through in life you can always count on this in your inner circle whether they are friends, lovers, or family. I cannot recommend this series enough! You will laugh, cry, get mad, and cry some more. These books will pull you in and make you feel like you are a part of this group of friends. I’m sad to say goodbye to these characters and will be rereading this series often!

Myna does desire everything

Myna had a wonderful one week with Loki but then he kissed her goodbye and her life went to pieces. She finally decided to go back to the only place that felt like home, Loki. Besides the romance and life Loki and Myna are building there is a final piece of Jasper's past that is put to an end.
Myna and Loki meet in a novella and understand their journey will be more enjoyable if you read that first. The suspense and drama in this story has been going on in the background of this series for several books. Without reading the other books in the series you will not know the background of what is going on. This book ends with a happy ending for all and a wrap up for the current main characters. Kay writes well with great details and makes you feel as if you are part of the family.

Exceptional

The final of a wonderful wonderful group of caring doms /domme and their subs. I couldnt wait to read this s tory and honestly Kay Elle Parker certainly didnt disappoint. This ending is so epic with a sad/happy ending. I really was stunned when i finished reading this and at first it was diffucult to think of a review that will do justice to this story. What i loved was that these subs were strong and when push came to shove, they wouldnt let the men do what they had to do on their own.
Honestly to read this ending you really have to read the other stories in this series. Im so glad i got to read this im sure you also will enjoy.

I fell in love it with Club Avalon in book 1. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, Ms. Parker blew this one out of the park. If you have followed all the subs and their Masters, you will know how long they have been waiting for the events to happen.

Loki and Myna had the best Christmas of their lives but Myna's life was in D.C. They both couldn't stop thinking about each other. Myna thought she was on her way to a good life in D.C. but things fell apart from the start. When she had no choice but to return to Avalon, Loki did not welcome her with open arms. Communication is a key for relationships, especially with Dom and sub. Both of then struggled with that.

There is so much going on in this book that I was not able to put it down. I experienced so many emotions reading Live for Me. Admiration, anger, anxiety, disgust, excitement, craving, happiness about sums up the entire book for me!

Wow, just WOW! It's more than a Loki and Myna story, its a cumulation of the whole Avalon family. It's a very emotional book, not full of flowers and unicorns, but oh, what a story. The weaving of all the components into this telling is just amazing. Loki has a great family, one at Avalon and one at his business, getting a talking down from Ginny, made me smile. Another smiling moment, Snog! Another heartbreaking moment, Myna asking Loki to let her go, "that will be your gift to her" WOW. Loved the description of a safety net and trust that it will catch you. Just for Christmas or for life, goodbye kisses, brightest stars, overlapping and interlinked, and of course pinky swears. I will be remembering this book for a very, very long time. An exceptional read. Highly recommend this series and author.

Breath holdingly amazing

Wow, wow, wow. Suspenseful, tortuous, beautiful, steamy, words fall to adequately describe this Avalon book. We confront demons emotionally and physically. It is the love story of Myra and Loki, twisted yet satisfying.
Myra returns to Avalon with some interesting twists added by Atticus. This book while centers on their ups and downs also is the foundation for a final effort by Jasper's father to get both Jasper and Anarchy back.

This book finds everyone we have loved to read about in Avalon forever changed by the end, some with demons and memories to fight and all with a renewed sense of family.
This rollercoaster ride is one I will never forget. It is a work of ta!ent and genius. Thank you Kay Elle Parker for sharing this story with us.

Kay Elle Parker is an incredible writer. The plot of Live for Me is quite literally played out in the title. This story made me laugh, jump for joy, root for love, and ohh did it make me cry in times of sadness and joy. It is a roller coaster ride that focuses on intricacies of a BDSM romance between Master Loki and his submissive Myna. This is a standalone story that is best understood after reading the other stories in the series. This story is very dark. It focuses on the LOVE that brings a group of friends that have become family through every traumatic event. Happily Ever Afters guaranteed! Read all of the books in the Club Avalon series it's an experience not to be missed.

What an amazing book! I mean once you take a trip to Club Avalon, you will never be the same. Myna and Loki were one of my favorite couplings. There was just something about their story that really stuck with me. I loved each of these books and enjoyed the emotional roller coaster that this series took me on. LOVED THIS SERIES!

I've cried in books before, I have felt the heartbreak, happiness and more - but this book had me crying from the beginning to the end; there were some laughs along the way - but the gut wrenching emotions and feels - what a rollercoaster OMG I'm still reeling from it all. I'm gonna have to read again to be sure I didn't miss a beat. There are some surprises, the strength from the women/submissives/littles AMAZING! The men who aren't afraid to show emotions - is a welcomed addition to this one, as in every book of Avalon. I've waited for Loki's story for a long time - being a designer myself I connected with his creativity - now I wish I could find myself a Loki of my own in real time...lol I don't want to give to much away - so I will just say READ THIS BOOK!! You won't regret it :-) I coudln't put it down.
