I recognize that a man can be submissive and not lose his manhood, but the same can be true that the hero can be alpha despite being a submissive brat. Their relationship had an air of father-son. Also, Maggie’s joy at the administration of pain and the key event of submission weren’t that appealing, maybe because of that, and to me they defied her alpha. Still, the self-education, research, and careful experimentation with character boundaries, especially Maggie’s, were well done. Plus the aftercare was sweet and so heartwarmingly reassuring. What a twist on the traditional age gap when instead a woman discovers her inner domme, who also has a thing for brats. Enter Beau featured in Lob and he definitely fits the title. Both are new to their naughtiness and their roles: who would have expected the normally quiet Maggie to embody a dominant personality and the egotistical Beau to be submissive? Sure I could see his bellows features, but sub? Surprise surprise.

I don’t want to hurt him–I just want to punish him. It’s bad enough being the only female owner of the Salacious Players’ Club, but I’m also the only one without a kink, or so I thought. Imagine my surprise when the kink quiz suggests that I’m not so vanilla after all. In fact, I’m a lot more like Emerson Grant than I thought. Just one problem–I have no idea how to be a Domme. That is, until the app matches me with someone willing to help me learn. He’s too young for me. Too stubborn. Too good looking. And, oh yeah, my friend’s son. Beau Grant is a brat. I’d hate that about him if I didn’t love punishing him so much. Underneath all of that attitude is a man who is misunderstood, selfless, and in need of direction. But if he wants mercy, he has to earn it. There are a million reasons why I should stay away, but I’m tired of doing what everyone thinks I should do. I finally know what I want, and I’m ready to take what’s mine. Mercy by Sara Cate – eBook Details

Also, the FMC is in her 30s, works with 3 male friends in their late 30s/40s, and feels out of place with their girlfriends - because the guys are all dating these girls in their early 20s. It's implied that she just has trouble relating to other women. No, I don't think that's it. Also, apparently she's really uptight and prudy because she doesn't feel comfortable in a sex club. I think you can be totally comfortable in your own sexuality and not feel comfortable in a sex club! Along with the domme sub dynamics of Maggie and Beau and reading A Hot Spoiled Guy Crawling Inside His Lover and other D/s sessions, hot!, there were a few exercises that didn’t appeal to me as much. I can still appreciate his adherence to the pillars of BDSM: safe, sane, and consensual. I can also admit that Beau probably justified it and asked for it.

Maggie and Beau were seen interacting before they began their relationship, do you think they would have eventually found one another whether they took the quiz and joined the app or not? She strives to be a forbidden and taboo romance author that dares to tell stories that have toe-curling heat and heart wrenching plot. She’s a soft spot for age gap, a ton of angst, and guys so bad that you just cannot help but love them. Her books have big feels and high stakes. But I take my punishment in stride. There’s something strangely gratifying that comes with getting what you deserve. Because, once I’ve paid the price, I don’t have to live with the guilt anymore.” These are some questions that I came up with while reading! Feel free to share your responses below if/when you’ve read this book! ☺️Thank you for joining project epicpdf.com one more step for saving everlasting masterpieces of great minds of all nations and times. I loved the realistic awkwardness and clumsiness of Beau’s father’s relationship with Beau’s ex-girlfriend. It was a touchstone, tangible and not swept under the rug, that added to the forbidden allure of Beau’s relationship with Maggie, his father’s business partner. I loved how these two came together through a modern and surprising app developed by Salacious Players Club (SPC). Humor and irony were not to be overlooked. Just a fun mix of personalities that weren’t originally meant to be taken seriously, right down to the first text. This was the beginning of an exploratory and educational experience for both of them, which grew into a relationship. She 34 and part owner of Salacious Players’ Club. She lives alone with her dog, Ringo. She’s described as modest and a babysitter. She does get a mini makeover as the story builds! He is 22 and the son of Emerson Grant, another part owner of Salacious Players’ Club. He is also the ex-boyfriend to Charlie, Emerson’s fiancé/wife. He is described as emotionally volatile and unruly. He looks like a young version of Emerson.

Sara’s passion in life is to normalize a reading experience which pushes the boundaries and empowers women to own their sexuality. Things which trigger her soapbox rants are discrediting the romance industry or belittling all of its readers by calling it “trash”. What kind of older brother would I be if I let you go to D&D night without me?” “Technically…I’m closer to being your step-aunt.”This book does get rather dark and anyone who considers themselves to be a sensitive reader should maybe skip this one. She does give a note at the beginning of the book that has a general disclosure. If you need specific triggers I’d say theses apply to this story: Beau is gorgeous in those fitted jeans and a tight polo shirt that shows off the impeccable shape of his muscled shoulders, but he knows how gorgeous he is and that’s what kills his appeal. If only he finished off the look with a touch of humility, he’d be a ten.” I’m not an idiot—I know this is going to hurt, but pain has always enticed me. I want to feel it in the same way most people fear it. Like a fuse about to reach the dynamite, I need the pain to give me the release I’m looking for. I crave the explosion.” It’s bad enough being the only female owner of the Salacious Players’ Club, but I’m also the only one without a kink, or so I thought.
