Netgalley ARC Review - To Master And Defend by Anya Summers!

BLURB:

Dominance. Submission. Honor. 

Ophelia Mills is coerced by her friends into having a fashionable night out, where she discovers the newest night life destination is actually an exotic BDSM Club named Dungeon Pleasures. She’s always been curious about the lifestyle, but her reserved nature has so far held her back from exploring her desires. When an over enthusiastic clubgoer goes overboard with his intentions and attempts to force her into submission, the club’s owner comes to her rescue, defending her honor. After a scorching one night stand with her knight in shining armor, Ophelia discovers that the fantasy was one for the record books. 

Tobias Ford likes his life just fine. At the helm of two successful businesses, he’s a Dom with a checkered past and isn’t looking for anything permanent. He’s perfectly content to enjoy the submissive offerings at Dungeon Pleasures, as well as his membership in the exclusive Dungeon Fantasy Club. Then Ophelia Mills stumbles in, needing his protection, and bringing forth every dominant urge he possesses. After a torrid night he cannot forget, he devises a campaign, laying siege to her heart even as he spanks her bare bottom for disobedience. With every one of her pleasured cries, Tobias falls further under Ophelia’s spell as she surrenders to his mastering. 

As he indulges her newfound carnal appetite, Ophelia will have to face old hurts, and decide whether or not she can trust him with the most precious of gifts. 

MY REVIEW:

To Master And Defend felt almost similar to a Cherise Sinclair's Shadowland book. It was intense, heart-poundingly good, and made me a bit nervous and a whole lot of excited. I loved the thrilling and engaging and oh so sexy the scenes were. I literally had to put down my ereader and take in some ice water in order to calm down. To say it was off the charts HOT is putting it lightly.  Tobias and Ophelia had the most powerful chemistry together. The scenes were brilliant. I could almost smell the leather, and smell the endorphins and potency in the air in the club. And the romance....purely sweet and delectable!

I can hardly wait to get my hands on book two of this absolutely sensual series. It is just as addicting and exciting as Cherise Sinclair's A Master Of The Shadowlands series and will easily have readers following Anya Summers. To Master And Defend gets a SMOKING HOT FIVE SHOOTING STARS!
