Publisher's summary

After a tumultuous year, Sophie Scaife's relationship with her boyfriend and Dom, billionaire media mogul Neil Elwood, is hotter and happier than ever. His sizzling dominant side pushes Sophie to new and challenging heights of submission and erotic exploration as she follows her Sir's every whim. But with his daughter's impending wedding and a milestone birthday turning Neil's thoughts toward settling down, Sophie faces a much different future than she'd planned.

Caught in a conflict between her new wealth and her desire for independence, Sophie fears that she's becoming just another Fifth Avenue trophy wife. With her fashion journalism career over and her new effort as a writer uninspiring, Sophie has to work harder than ever to prove her intentions to Neil's family and friends. Sophie isn't the only one struggling to adapt to her new lifestyle. When private jets and designer labels threaten her bond with Holli, Sophie finds herself walking a fine line between the world she now inhabits and the past - and people - she fears she's left behind. After a shocking revelation divides her loyalties, Sophie is in danger of losing her best friend or fracturing the trust of the man she loves.

Amazing...Again!!

I really need to say nothing...the story speaks for itself. But I love that she hits topics that are normally avoided and things that are uncomfortable for most to talk/write about and addresses them. And CJ Bloom has got to be one of the best readers ever. LOVE!

The Bride

Reading the next chapter of the Sophie Neil saga was less emotionally taxing. I took a break after the last book and I felt like I was ready to revisit these lovebirds.

I am feeling like I don’t need to rush into the next chapters and I am disappointed that the rendezvous with Amir was not on this book. I don’t see me spending a credit on that mini book.

Anyways. Narrator was great story was full of drama and the sex was intense. All in all, I’m good.

moved erratically in places

I feel like this book was a bridge between this one in the next one. I really loved showing the characters in therapy, and working to improve themselves, but the pacing at times was really off.

So moving

I don’t generally read/listen to sexy romance novels for the heart-touching moments but this series has that in spades and I am in love. The best friend fight and the big news at the end of this book hit me so hard. I got chills. Love this series and this installment is my favorite so far!

lovely story

This book blends seemlessly with the previous 2 books in this series.
I love the accents and the travel.
The father daughter relation was inspiring.
I would definitely recommend this entire series.

Series is getting better

Third book in series and it is getting better. The story makes you want to listen to more. CJ Bloom’s accents are getting better. Looking forward to the next one.
