Book description |
Ivan Everley, 13th Baron Rothvale, will tell you himself he's the LAST person on earth who should have custody over a priceless collection of art, but since when does the irony of life ever fall in line with what somebody wants? Ivan might be a Lord according to British law, but he's just a regular guy with an appetite for speed...and women...and some dominating kink in the bedroom. Yeah, just a regular guy who happens have Olympic gold medals stashed away in his house. Riiiight. His public profile is merely a sham--his private life a carefully guarded secret borne out of the pain of betrayal. Even his famous cousin, Ethan Blackstone, doesn't know the whole story about the man he considers a brother. Lord Ivan has a plethora of problems piled up to his aristocratic eyeballs--that only get more complicated when a beautiful art conservationist shows up to appraise his inherited collection of paintings--but that doesn't stop him from digging himself in deeper. Nope, not a bit. Once Ivan gets a taste of Gabrielle Hargreave, mistaken identity or not, he can't think of anything else but how perfect she felt in his arms the night he first laid his eyes on her. He wants her, and what Ivan wants, Ivan gets. He is Lord Ivan after all. Gabrielle soon discovers that the Dom in him isn't taking 'no' for an answer. But, yet, Gabrielle Hargreave might just teach our discontent lord a thing or two about life, and about himself, and help them both discover the undeniable truth in what it means to find something genuinely...priceless | |

Termíny dominantní a submisivní zde pro autorku asi znamenaj synonymum za nadržený :-) On je dominant, protože když chce zasunout, nebere ohled na překážky a zasune. Ona je submisivní, protože je nadrbaná a nedělá cavyky:-))
Hlavní postavy tohoto dojáčku už znáte, kdož jste četli autorčinu ságu "Aféra Blackstone": Gabriela je Brynnina spolužačka a Ivan Ethanův bratranec. Gabriela je doktorandka uměleckého restaurování a Ivan je anglický lord, bývalý olympijský sportovec a prostě bohatej superkrasavec, který aby nemusel řešit vztahy a citečky, tak si ženský kupuje. Na večírku v galerii má sraz se štětkou a kvůli stejné barvě šatů si ji splete s Gabrielou. A ta mu hned dá, rozdaj si to v kumbále. Ivan ji druhý den shání, protože ho nedokouřila, ale "náhradní" kurva ho podrazí, takže když se podruhé náhodně s Gabrielou setká, vynadá jí, neb stále si myslí, že Gab je eskortka. Jasněže mu uteče, ale do třetice všeho dobrého.... na svatbě Ethana a Brynne jim jdou za svědky, Ivanovi se podaří Gab přesvědčit, odveze ji (vlastním hydroplánem!:-D) ze svatby do Irska, kde víkend prošukaj.
Zas tak moc se tam nešuká a když už, tak vanilkově, pojmy sub a dom jsou tady fakt asi jen pro efekt. I kdyyyyž.... je to první díl ságy, co nám ukážou další? Proč Gabriela se bojí vztahu s dominantem a přitom to chce? To bude dramíčko v dalších dílech! ( )
