Sweet Persuasion

Pro mne vtipná postava Damona-majitele BDSM klubu. Podle prvniho dilu kazdou subku chce opsobne proskolit, protoze hleda Lasku. Jo, jasne a mezi protrelejma subinama ji nenajde, to az ve vanilce, co zjisti, ze neni vanilka, haha! Sebevedoma podnikatelka Serena ma touhu byt erotickou otrokyni a to ji Damon splni. 80% knihy je sex. Na to, jak jakoze Damon "to" u zdne nenasel a jake ma ona "perverzni sny", byl ten sex dost normalka teda:D (i kdyz doslo k bicovani, verejnemu sexu, spani v poutech, kleceni u nohou pracujiciho pana...takove ty romantarny pro cubky:D)
Libilo se mi, ze 20% byl pribeh, ktery nebyl jen o Serenine stupidite (jak to jinak nazvat, to okridleny "opoustim te, protoze te miluju" uaaa!), ale rozehrava se i pribeh jeji show more kamaradky Julie a jeji neschopnosti sbalit typka, po kterym jede. show less

Another great read from Maya Banks! I love the genuine real-ness of Maya Banks' characters. The characters cover the basics of hygiene and safe sex, which is always a great addition to a realistic story. I love the strength that Serena has, she knows what she wants and isn't afraid to try and go after it. I also love the dark sensuality that exudes from Damon. He is sexy, amazing, and oddly vulnerable.

The plot is great, it is all about the characters and the story of this erotica is just as great as the sensual scenes throughout the book. I love the dark edge that the entire books carries, not an ominous darkness, more like an anticipatory darkness. Nothing else I can say. I love everything this lady writes!

I liked this one better than the first. Serena was just okay as the heronie but I loved Damon as the hero. Although he lived in a world not like my own he seemed real.

More like 3.5 stars. An incredibly hot read, but I had a hard time understanding the characters and where they were coming from, and some of the dynamics of the relationship just didn't work for me. The fact that Serena could never say "No" to anything without ending the entire arrangement bugged me...it was emotionally manipulative on Damon's part.

The stilted and awkward dialogue cost this book half a star.

I was captivated by the very erotic romance with good paced steamy action. I liked how it showed a strong independent woman could also be a sexual submissive. Some of the pain stuff was extreme but the heroine allowed/wanted it. Business owner Serena has a secret fantasy to be owned by a man. Sex club owner Damon is happy to oblige.

For five years, Serena has run Fantasy Incorporated and has devoted her time to fulfilling her clients' fantasies. Never her own. Until now…

Her most secret desire is to give ownership of her body to a man. Someone who will command her, pleasure her, and have complete authority over her. So she seeks out Damon Roche, owner of an exclusive sex club and a man strong enough to make her do anything he wants. Anything.

Together they'll journey into a world she's only dreamed of. She's given the opportunity to immerse herself in a different life while her normal one waits for her to return whenever she wishes. Damon has no desire to let her go, however. Serena is the woman he's long searched for, and it's up to him to convince her to stay show more when the game is all over with. He wants their fantasy to become their reality and for Serena to remain his pampered, cherished submissive. show less

If you like BDSM, like D/s I think you are going to love this one. Maya banks knows that the mind is a sexual organ and she knows how to get everything fired up. When Damon fulfills Serena's fantasy to become a sex slave.
