Overview

He’s a sexual dominant. She’s sworn off sex. There’s no way they can make a relationship work–or can they?

After surviving a traumatic event at age fifteen and the ensuing estrangement from her family, Natalie Bryant has worked for years to reinvent herself into the woman she is today–a happy teacher fresh out of college and enjoying her first winter in New York City with her faithful dog, Fluff, by her side. Natalie isn’t expecting her life to change completely during a routine stroll through Greenwich Village on a blustery January day. But when Fluff breaks loose and charges into a park, Natalie gives chase and crashes into her destiny. Only after Fluff bites and draws blood from the man who accidentally knocked Natalie down does she realize Fluff has bitten the biggest movie star in the world.

He has no business being enthralled by the gorgeous, young, innocent teacher…
Natalie captivates Flynn Godfrey from the first moment their eyes meet while she is lying on the ground and he’s fighting off her ferocious little beast of a dog. The only thing Flynn knows for certain is if he lets Natalie get away, he’ll regret it for the rest of his life. After only a short time in her presence, Flynn is prepared to change who he is to be what she needs. He knows he’s in big trouble when she says she won’t sleep with him and he doesn’t care if it means he gets to keep her in his life. But can he turn his back on the lifestyle that has defined him? Can he deny the desires that drive him to give Natalie the introduction to love and romance she so deserves? And most of all, can he keep his truth hidden from her long enough to have forever with her?

My Thoughts

If you think back, Natalie left Flynn at the end of the last installment, after learning about his deepest secrets from his ex Val, and then when confronted with the questions, Flynn denied it all.  we all know that his motives here were completely in the right place – but i think that there’s so much heat and passion here that’s raw and at the surface that it doesn’t matter what his intentions were – Natalie still needs space.

Add to that, the same moment that happens, the FBI agent is back sniffing around for more information from Flynn which makes things even worse.  They are certainly on a roller coaster and it’s one that’s not going to slow down any time soon.

Throughout this final installment in the series, we see that not only are bits and pieces falling into place and being resolved, but the way that our author M.S. Force writes it, we know that there’s going to be another hurdle to over come and that’s something amazing.  These intense passion that these 2 leads have is combustible and it comes right off the pages.  I think that it’s something that you want to root for but at the same time you’re afraid that if you want the best for them, that something else awful is going to happen.

So we see a lot going on with the FBI investigation, narrowing down to suspects and all that.  I think that i’m still of the school that things someone inside the circle did it, but i guess you’ll have to read to find out which one.

We see that there’s still the issue of whether Natalie will get her teaching job back and what that would ultimately mean to the couple since he’s in LA more than NYC.  it’s still very much up in the air if she’ll be allowed to come back since the principle is still against it.  and seems like she’s never going to change her mind.

Then their relationship is the last bit – i think that there’s so much to talk about here.  did they go too hard too fast.  will it last and what will it mean for them? will Hayden ever accept Natalie as part of Flynn’s life?  and will Flynn allow his BDSM side come into the picture in a way that will make Nat seem safe and cared for.

Soooo many questions but i think that they are all good questions to ponder.  so on that note, i hope that you guys enjoy this finale of the series – it’s up there in one of my favs not only for the story line but there’s a good bit of education that we get here – a lot about how to make a nervous sub come into the lifestyle and flourish.  there’s a way that this was written that makes it very hot and very steamy and you really think that you’re there with them.  So on that note – HAPPY FRIDAY all
