Ever since her ex-boyfriend, an erotic photograper, left her for a younger model 3 years ago, she’s never been able to overcome that betrayal. It was complete role reversal - the hero is in love with the heroine despite how cruelly she treats him and she never apologizes. But hey, sometimes you're in the mood for a book that doesn't require you to think, where conflicts are resolved quickly and easily, and everyone lives happily ever after. What’s more, you get “Shuffle-Bored,” an iconic card trick that still garners chatter and acclaim more than 25 years after it was published. Mark talks Ruby into meeting him at his concert later that night and gives her a few rules to adhere to while she's there.

I could totally believe their relationship, and the things that kept them skirting each other for so long.Recently broken up with her boyfriend Ash, she has vowed off on artists of all kinds, believing they will leave her no matter what. It seemed to me she spent a good portion of the book trying to leave Mark before he could leave her, doubting his assertions that he cared about her.

Sorry I just didn't feel the chemistry here and Ruby's indecision about what she wants from Mark drove me up the wall.I love their relationship – Ruby wants to be oh so naughty, always dreaming of all the fetish toys but she is still a bit shy to admit it. And although their connection is electrifying, neither is willing to accept that it could be something deeper.

There is a major separation based on someone forgetting about something which was hard for me to believe. Did I think for one minute my smutsisters would suggest an abusive, kinky to the point of sick/crazy BDSM read, hell no! Two, the fact that for the first part of the book, the hero was chained to the bed by the heroine was a bit of a turn-off for me.

One, I'm not much for 15-century Scotland stories - when I read historical, I prefer Regency or Frontier Westerns. His control of Ruby in the bedroom is hot to read, just as his sweet comforting nature that takes over as well. She was a realist, but realism doesn't always constitute the perfect relationship because perfection is impalpable no matter how hard a person tries to form it. The paddle is flexible, the swish of the blow in the air will feel your partner with anticipation just seconds before the strike. Most of the tricks are easy to do, though some require settups, making gimmicks or memorising some things but generally not particularly hard stuff.

Overall, it was one of the best erotica books I’ve ever read and definitely deserves five stars or even more.Textured with raised diamond shaped nodes on one side and deliciously smooth on the other, you can alter the sensation of your punishment to fit the crime of your sub. But as she surrenders to her deepest needs and lets Mark control every forbidden thrill, her passion for him builds. For a woman who had little experience due to a husband who didn't desire her, she sure was willing to do anything without even a peep of "what are you doing?
