A spellbinding, wicked ride. Nathan and Kelsey's journey was such a hot but sweet read. I really enjoyed reading how their relationship evolved as the book when on. I won't hesitate to pick up any book from this author.

Kelsey Lane what can I say about this timid yet determined girl. I only found her to be timid at the beginning of the book. But she sure knows how to speak her mind. And she isn’t willing to give up what she wants not for anything.
Getting a pretty big surprise of her life Monday morning to find not only has the name of the company she works for is no longer but she now has a new boss… Enter Mr. Hottie Mc Tottie.
Nathan Donovan is much respected, but very stand offish until you get to know him, and realise work is his life and he like it like that. He’s loyal but fair. I didn’t find much warmth from him at first. Almost as if he didn’t know how to be warm and inviting. In a business sense he makes the client or employees at ease.
Let’s say Kelsey ally cat is at the ready when she first meets this take charge business man. She doesn’t give an inch. I loved this about her.
Nathan must have seen a streak of submissive in her because he propos her to become him sub “train” her. There is a club Kelsey wants to go to and Mr. Donovan wants to escort her there.
Now here is where I was like WHAT… They meet Monday morning… and by Monday evening some pretty kinky freaking HOT stuff is going on between these two.. I won’t even go on to tell you about the rest of the week you NEED to read that yourself this book is not for the faint of heart.
If you’re in to kink… spanking… floggers… hot and dirty sexy time.. and so much more this book is for you no joke. It’s a scorcher. I read a passage to my hubby and he BLUSHED!! He is NOT a blusher. I totally teased him about it. I am evil! I had a good giggle about that.
I found Kelsey and Nathan were both seeking something and what they don’t know is that they were seeking the very same thing.
Together these two are explosive. I would have loved an epilogue to be honest I think that would have been epic but we can’t always get what we want am I right ;) I want Nathan to bend me over and…. Oh I can’t tell you that… you will have to find that out for your selves. ;)
Also where can I sign up for a Bond watch… Seriously that was freaking cool. I want a hot guy popping up in hologram form and talking to me about my eating and sleeping habits, pick me I say.
Here are some quotes I really enjoyed
“On the contrary. There’s nothing boring about you Ms. Lane” - Nathan
“You scare me a little.” – Kelsey
“There’s no escape from me, Ms. Lane. I will pursue you relentlessly. I will have my answers. I’ll force you to think about things you never have before.” – Nathan
“The dirtier, the nastier, the better. Give them to me, my pretty.” – Andi, Kelsey’s Bestie
“Yes, Sir. Yes, Nathan, Yes, Mr. Donovan.” – Kelsey
So over all I enjoyed this book, I loved the character even if I didn’t connect to them as maybe I have others. I didn’t get the timeline part don’t get me wrong it was freaking HOT HOT just when so much happened in a day or even a day and half I was like dude really that is trust. But it works for this story. So without farther or due my

Kelsey Lane goes to work on a typical Monday morning, expecting it to be like every other work day. When Kelsey left the office on Friday, she worked for Newman Inland Marine which was now Donovan Logistics. She never in a million years expected a man like Nathan Donovan or all the changes that he brought along with him.
Immediately, Nathan is completely fascinated with Kelsey. She was not intimidated easily and he is very attracted to her. Kelsey is not a fan of overbearing men and usually runs the other way, but something about Nathan leaves her intrigued.
Kelsey and her friend Andi have decided to go to a BDSM club called Deviation. Unfortunately for her, Nathan’s brother Connor was notified and he in turn called Nathan. Kelsey had no idea, until now, that Nathan is a Dom. Nathan wants to put all of it on the table for discussion with Kelsey. Nathan takes it upon himself to teach her all about BDSM and so the fun begins.
As Kelsey shares her dreams with Nathan, he doesn’t thoroughly hear her. He focused on dominating her when all she truly wanted from him was real love with no expectations or limits. Now the race is on for Nathan to let Kelsey know he heard her, loud and clear.
We’ve all read some books with a BDSM story line and there is almost always a portrayal of a uniformed and virginal woman. This is totally not the case in this story. Kelsey interest in BDSM completely thrills Nathan and surprises him at every turn. It was nice to read a story about a women who knew what she liked and didn’t act timid and shy. A definite change of pace!
The chemistry between Nathan and Kelsey was outstanding! It was immediate and intense. Kelsey seemed to give Nathan her trust, and a little bit of sass, right away.
The sex scenes in this book are extremely hot. There is a lot of role play, a BDSM club, anal play, toys, etc. I felt it was all tastefully written, however, it may not be for some readers.
I also enjoyed the fact that Kelsey knew exactly what she wanted out of life. She was a smart, strong willed woman who walked away when she knew it just wasn’t for her. It was also nice to see the man being the one to have to figure out what he wants in life!
Sierra Cartwright is a first for me. I have not read anything by her prior to this and I have got to say that I love this book! It was wonderful to read about a woman who knew exactly what she wanted and would not budge on her morals.
I will definitely be reading the entire Donovan Dynasty Series!
