I\u2019ve always been a control freak. But he makes me crave submission\u2026<\/em><\/span>

Working for a hotel heiress and social media influencer may not be my dream job, but at least it allows me time to do what I really love\u2014take photographs. Pretty good for a wholesome farm girl from Kansas trying to make it in Boston. Life may not be easy working for a diva, but at least I know what to expect.<\/span>

Until blue-collar billionaire Braden Black strides into the office. He\u2019s beyond handsome and sexy, but also domineering with a definite hard edge. I\u2019m not sure why he\u2019s interested in me, but within a few weeks, he\u2019s showing me a world I never knew existed.<\/span>

He\u2019s opened up a side of me I can only face in the dark, and it\u2019s quickly becoming an obsession. How can I give up something this addictive\u2014even if his secrets could ultimately destroy me?<\/span><\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Skye Manning<\/strong> is working as a photographer for Addie Ames, an heiress and social media influencer. She helps Addie stages selfies and handles whatever minor office work for her. When a recent post goes viral and garners the attention of billionaire Braden Black<\/strong> everything in Skye\u2019s world shifts upside down.<\/p>

Starts out a bit 50 Shades of Gray-ish<\/em> which scared me because I\u2019m not a big fan of those types of stories but I came to like both characters and enjoyed where the story went.\u00a0 Braden is not like most billionaire. He comes across a bit cold but you can see it is just his style to keep people away. He is a self made man and knows exactly what he wants.<\/p>

Skye is very organized and in control of her life. Being with Braden pushes her control to levels that she is uncomfortable with but can\u2019t help wanting. She has never experienced any sexual experience as intense as she has with Braden. The only problem is that she wants more but a man like him doesn\u2019t do relationships or does he?<\/p>

I know some my label this BDSM and elements of it does fall into it. It is still a bit more on the tame side. Braden expresses some of his kinkier thoughts but they don\u2019t actually play out just yet. I look forward to seeing how far they both will go. How dark is too dark?<\/p>

The sex scenes are passionate and intense. I like how Skye held onto her control but knew when to let go.<\/p>

The mystery around Braden and some of the other characters keeps the story flowing. I just wish that we got a few more answers. The story ends on a cliffhanger and I\u2019m wondering why this story could not have been told in one book.<\/p>

Despite the rocky start, I became invested. As mentioned, earlier there is a cliffhanger but I want to know what happens next.<\/p>
