5.0
Ellie Masters is at her best with powerful, dominant male characters. From the Davenport brothers to Xavier, she never fails to create a strong but never cruel hero. This book has to do with her BDSM storylines, which for me, who knows nothing about this, it's eye-opening and a window into caring relationships that are not really out in the open. So it's a bit educational. But the story is the heart, and Ellie does a fantastic job telling a story. Alexa is driven and likable. But like a lot of us, her work persona is just one side of her personality, much like a coin with two faces. Daniel is the one who sees the flip side of that coin. The story of their relationship unfolds at an auction at The Ties That Bind a private BDSM club. Fans of Ellie's work will see more stories in the future from this location, and that is an excellent thing. I highly recommend this book for several reasons, compelling characters who you want to meet, smart dialogue, and just a heck of a love story that leaves you smiling at the end. Give this steamy story of two intense people who are finding their real relationship a read; you will not regret it.
