Publisher's summary

Tony Angelico thinks he knows all about Dominants and submissives. After all, his two brothers are unapologetic Dominants with long-term submissive partners. Tony also knows that Tessa, the woman who works for him - the one girl he can't get out of his mind - is interested in the lifestyle. But he wants no part of bossing women around, let alone dominating them.

Tessa Damon craves the attention and discipline of a strong, dominant alpha male, but she's not been able to find what she's looking for. She's attracted to Tony, and can't help fantasizing about being taken over his knee for a sound spanking. She longs for the release and comfort of submitting to a man she can trust.

The night Tony decides to give it a shot, everything changes. But can Tessa be healed from her abusive past, and realize that she's worthy of love? Can they find a path that works for both of them? Will Tony finally understand that there is no one definition to cover every nuance of what being a Dominant means - not when his heart and soul know that he wants nothing more than to assume the role of Tessa's protector?

Great series!

i was not enthused by the narration of this book in the series. He is better than Mr. Plug, but I didn't get a sense of each character. I do love the series.

A delicious story

Any additional comments?

I'm afraid I'm going to sound like a broken record. But seriously, Jane Henry and Maisy Archer writes the most sultry stories ever. They have a very subtle understanding of telling what's on their mind and it seeps into me like the most delicate fragrance.

Tony is one of my favorite Boston Dom heroes so far. That man was just the most delicious hunk of an alpha-male, and it was all came naturally to him. He sure made all my lady parts tingle, and he could have spanked my butt anytime he wanted to, and I would have asked for more. He is calm, strong, steady, sensitive and bighearted. He is very much aware of the people around him, and he catches all of Tessa emotions. He is not natural sure of himself, but he learns to trust his feelings and trust his ability to give Tessa just what she needs.

Tessa is just lovely, and her story grabbed my heart. She had a terrible upbringing and started to cut herself as a teenager, to have something in her life she could control. She is addicted to being spanked because it grounds her and gives her the calm she so desperately needs.

These two characters are the perfect match, and I absolutely loved how Jane and Maisy told their love story.

I heard this story on audible. The dual narration was excellent, and I really enjoyed it.

Thanks to both the authors for this enlightening advanced copy

A reluctant dom

What did you like best about this story?

I really liked the fact that it is read by a man and a woman. It feels really natural and the story really flowed. It works very well

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

The third book in the series and I really loved this one. This book is a bit different for the fact that Tony is the one without any experience while Tessa knows what she wants. Tony is more of a reluctant Dom, but he finds his own way.

Love this book!

This brings us to the youngest Angelico, the story of Tony and Tessa. We were able to get peeks of Tony in the previous 2 books with his crazy, bitchy girlfriend Val. Could not wait for him to dump her! This story gives us the slow change of Tony, realizing that his view of what a dominant is may not be the same for everyone. Tessa is a submissive, and needs her strong man to help her along. Tony comes to her aid in many different ways and is able to fulfill her needs. I love the way Jane Henry and Maisy Archer have integrated Tessa's emotional issues throughout the story, and how Tony and Tessa came to deal with them. Having real life situations come to light and have them dealt with makes the story that much sweeter. There was some suspense as well, Tessa's sister being taken and how she is retrieved leaves us wanting the next book where we get to know Slay better!

The narration team of Jeffrey and Ali Peterson were OK, but really didn't do it for me. They read methodically and did not really seem to be into the book, or to me their voices were not the fit for the characters. The storyline was amazing though and it is definitely worth the credit to enjoy the book!

Great story, deserved better performance

Any additional comments?

This is the first book by the duo of Jane Henry and Maisy Archer that I have read. While part of a series, the book is a stand-alone read. Tessa and Tony’s friendship evolves into romance as their lives entwine and their relationship takes an unusual path into D/s. This path is tantalizing (if not a bit too slow) but yields steamy spanking experiences. The book includes several discussions of the D/s lifestyle and how this is not S/M or abuse.

As to the narration… At first I was excited to experience the duo male/female narrators. I hoped that this would add a dimension to the audio reading adventure. However, it fell flat. Ali Peterson should have done it by herself. Jeffrey’s contribution can only be described as painful.

The story is great and, overall, it is an enjoyable audio experience.

Moving story.

Well written story spotlighting two of the supporting characters in the previous books in the Boston Dom series. This book like the first 2 had wonderful dialogue and realistic characters. I also liked the twist that it was the man not the woman being introduced to the D/s dynamic.

The 2 narrators did an excellent job.

I received a copy of this audio from the author and voluntarily chose to leave an honest review.

Awesome

I love this series. The men are dominant and caring. I love the chemistry each couple has.

Loved it

Fast paced and sweet story although the end was a little swift. I would have liked to have seen more detail. Narrators were great!

Worst Narrators

They were so boring and it ruined an otherwise good book. The narration felt forced and made all of the emotions feel hollow.

Heartfelt!

This one has a lot of emotions and love in it! It sure kept my interest to the end. Jeffrey D. Peterson and Ali Peterson were excellent narrators! They bring sparks to the story and I loved it!
