A review by foreverbeautifulbooks
King of Spades by Cheyenne McCray

3.0

Ok, I want to say that I wasn't as totally keen on this story as I was with Kir and Jarron's books.

The reason being, is that the whole Dom/sub deal was nearly omitted. I am reading these in the hopes of some hot tie me up hot steam. However, this book is centered around the ball busting sexual harrassment attorney Alexi O' Brien, Alice's sister. It starts a year after Alice as disappeared and she is still making an attempt to find her sister. Little does she know she's on her way that night with the hunky and totally devilish Darronn, the King of Spades.

He is the reason I liked this book! Alexi just bothered me, she was almost 'too hard ass' and I'm shocked Darronn bended to her will so easily. It starts out with such potential. Darronn grabs her from her apartment through the magical looking glass and instantly ties her up in the middle of a field, naked except for thigh highs and red high heels, and leaves her there over night because she's punched him in the face and kneed him in the groin.

I was so totally looking forward to him taming her!

Did it happen?

Nadda people! She just kept on flying her mouth off and he just let her do it. She liked being tied up in private and having her be her DOM then. But outside of that is was like business as usual! She has a funny mouth when she says stuff but other than that, she pretty much bothered me.

I guess the point was to be like Oh, not every woman is a sub, and if you really love someone you will compromise. Then why am I getting warnings about it being a bondage book at the beginning of the book if you are going to have NO good scenes in it! LOL

Was there sex, well, yes.

Did I want to see him tame her a bit more? YES!
