When Summer Burgundy loses her
dream job as head librarian of the State Library to Marcus Welks, she’s determined
not to make his job easy. There’s something about the smug way he walks around,
barking out orders that makes her want to show him who’s really in charge. When
she locks him out of the library’s computer system, he makes a threat of
punishment, telling her the price she’ll pay for locking him out. When he
suggests a very sexual game, she’s not sure if she should go along with him or
not.
However, things heat up in the
library, causing the two to combust from the sexual attraction. Realizing she’s
playing a dangerous game of dominance and submission, Summer gives in to
Marcus. She’s too curious to resist the delights he promises. However, the
control he exercises over her makes her realize that maybe she’s not ready to
play these games unless it can be for keeps. She knows Marcus is not the kind
of man who is interested in a long term relationship, only a summer fling.
Deciding to quit the library, she delves into the underground world of S&M
at a local club called Pleasure Shores.
After Summer leaves the library for
good, Marcus finds himself pining after her and thinking about his past life as
a dominant. He still owns part of an exclusive resort in Cabo and longs to
share it with Summer. When she was spread open on the conference table in the
special collections room, her pussy ready to take his punishment, it was as if
he had met his match. Now, he’s pretty sure he has, especially since he found
Summer with a guidebook to S&M. Her curiosity was piqued, and he knows he
can show her the pleasures to be found in his old lifestyle.
Returning to his old life and
Pleasure Shores, Marcus is surprised to see Summer there. He makes a vow to
himself that he will make Summer his. Calling in a favor from one of his past
submissives, Marcus sees just how far he can push Summer. He is rewarded when
she meets his challenges, matching him move for move.
Angela’s Review:
It
always amazes me when an author has the ability to make a strong bond between
two characters, in these short stories. Ms. Sparks did a wonderful job of connecting
me, as a reader to both of the main characters in this read.
There
were two very different sides to Marcus, but when the author combined is
dominate side with the intellectual it made him even hotter. I loved how he
wanted to help Summer explore her sexuality, but never pushing her beyond her
comfort zone.
I was
pleasantly surprised by the ending of this story. Even though the exploration
and sex scenes were extremely hot, it did not distract from the building
tension between this couple that went far beyond just sex….there was a love
connection growing.
Overall,
I enjoyed this quick read and found it very entertaining. If you like your reads with bit of a dominate
fetish than you will enjoy One Hot Summer by Alicia Sparks.
