all in with Club Black Light!
Great book. My first Jennifer Bene read. Once I catch up with Black Light, I'll definitely read more of her work. Her style seems to work well with Livia Grant and I'm a big Livia fan! So far I am all in with Club Black Light, the ex-models/owners, rock stars, & congressmen! Bring on the rest of DC's sexy, rich, powerful elite!

Sweet!
For a romance set in a BDSM club, this was surprisingly sweet. But still Hot AF.
Maddie and Thomas are as cute as a D/s couple can be and I enjoyed their story.

Perfect continuation!
Jennifer Bene's Exposed was the perfect continuation to the Black Light series! With steaminess, ugly crying scenes, and a HEA, Exposed will keep you coming back for more of her stories and the Black Light series.

This is a much 'lighter' read than Ms Bene is often known for, but it is still one read hot, well written and captivating story. Maddie knows there is a big story to be found at Runway, the new, hot nightclub. If she can get the story she can get her dream job. However what Maddie discovers is way beyond her wildest imaginings. Thomas doesn't realise Maddie is a total newbie to the world of BDSM, and she can't tell him without also having to reveal her other lies. And we all know that when there are lies there's bound to be heartbreak.
The story is really well written - I loved how even the fact that she'd gotten into the secret club led to the security measures being reviewed. It's one very steamy story, although only for those who enjoy BDSM reads and the various 'pleasures' a sub can expect when playing at a club with an experienced Dom. The author does a fantastic job of ensuring that the whole book is safe, sane and consensual, even when Maddie doesn't know what she is letting herself in for.
I was totally caught up both by the plot and the characters. Maddie and Thomas are so 'real' they seem to step right off the page. Their heat and chemistry almost melted my kindle, and makes this a NSFW read! I felt their emotion, and when their was the inevitable fall out from Maddie's lies/secrets my heart broke along with theirs. What really makes this book stand out is the story OUTSIDE of their relationship. We really get to know the characters as people, to see their lives, including where they work, and to meet their friends. This is so much more than just a 'dirty' read.
This was a one-sit reading - even if that meant I didn't finish it until the early hours of the morning when I really should have been asleep in bed. This is one of the best BDSM romances I have read, with the perfect blend of good characters, believable kink, excellent writing and good story line.

Black Light, exposed? Or, was Maddie exposed? Ms. Bene did a phenomenal job with this story (5+*). I did not want to put this book down, but, there's sleep, work, eating, etc., that has to happen! I must say, I read way past my bedtime to finish this story. I was disappointed it ended and I sure hope Thomas and Maddie visit me again! I want to know more of what happens to them! I loved this book and it's on my TBRx2!!!! So many emotions! I'll be thinking about this for days to come!
