Roulette Part Duex does this series proud as every one of these authors delivers!
Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 11 février 2018
Although I did receive an ARC of this book, I pre-ordered it long before that arrived for my library. Having read the original Black Light Roulette last year and found it to be an enjoyable read, there was no way this one was not going to be included in my library.
Once again Jennifer and Livia have put together the exact group of authors to pull of this type of story line. I have been following Club Black Light from the beginning, and finding authors who can feel the flow of the back story line, while keeping the genre real, and keeping each story unique, I say well done to everyone involved. [If you haven't read the first Roulette, or the other stories in the Blacklight series, I encourage you to do so as I have yet to find one i did not find enjoyable, and I for one love the genre.]
As you would expect Jennifer and Livia start the book months prior with the background of the club and the evolution off the roulette game.
Unrestrained - Jennifer Bene
What happens when a bratty masochist meets her match in a tough, yet observant sadist? Contrary to popular belief sadists have hearts, and no one writes about them better than Jennifer, as it takes gut to write about the degree of pain inflicted by a sadist and taken and needed by a masochist.. I love her style, she never disappoints.
Brat - Livia Grant
When things turn out the exact opposite as you expected. Ella has been fighting her entire life for respect and finds herself paired with a Dom from her life who has zero respect for her. There were so many ways this story could have gone, yet as always, Jennifer, in her usual style took this unlikely pair on a journey to discovering the truth about each other as one can only do in the midst of a BDSM club.
Forced- Renee Rose
I have never read a story by this lady that I did not like, and which did not give me at least me at least one occasion to draw a deep breath. And this story is no exception. Marianna joins the roulete as a means to keep watch on her sister and unfortunately she is a major control freak. She is paired with Victor who realises how she will never become submissive unless she is forced, no matter how much she my wish to relinquish control as a means to relax. Role play is a part of BDSM and this is what happens. I love Renee for the way she wrote this story, she handled this from first word to last. Brillant
Doctored - Sue Lyndon
Hunter and Natalie had a past history, and it wasn't pleasant, never lovers, never friends, just history.....yet..if only. If only just might be tonight. This was a older/younger story that In found to be such a touching story in a great many ways. Sue does such a fine job with this story showing what a raw deal Natalie got and how Hunter helped her find all then pieces to put them back together.
Shameless-Maren Smith
Love this lady, she can tell a story and this one is no exception.This is a tough tale to read in many ways as your heart will hurt for the humilation Hannah has gone through at the hands of her past Dom Ethan. Her first nigh back is for Roulette and her best friend Gareth [who has kept his feeling from her] is security that night to keep Ethan away. She is paired with Noah an amazing Dom who knows she and Gareth should be together finds ways for him to join in. Ethan stirs things up, and nothing goes as planned, yet we can expect nothing less from a Maren Smith story. I loved the ending and hope there is yet more to this story. Smashing!
Edge - Alta Hemsley
Love me some Hemsley! I discovered this woman and her books, own every one and can not get enough of her writing. This story is a small, yet perfect example of her style. Melinda and Dean...what might have been, what should have been. Melinda gave Dean up to become the "perfect" daughter and paid a terrible price. Now she's back, with no self esteem, and never expecting to see Dean, much less be paired with him. Yet Dean takes fate into his own hands, nudges the ball, and takes her in hand, in more ways than one, and one step at a time proves what should have been, will be. Loved this story.
Confessions - Maggie Ryan
Never read any of this ladies works, however after this story, I am now a fan. I just loved this story to bits. Dani has to be one of may favourite characters in this book. It is tough having three past Marines keeping you under their thumbs, even if they are doing it out of love. It is even harder when you are in love with one of them and think there is no way they could return the feelings. Bring on Roulette, and let the games begin. Reading how Dani handled these three, especially her man Grant, and watching it unfold, their feelings and overcoming everything that was holding them back made for an enjoyable read.
Surrender -Maggie Ryan
Again, a new author for me, and her books are now on my TBR list. I loved this story. Nothing better than seeing a bad arse Dom letting a little bit of a submissive wrap him right up in her heart. Owen is not even supposed to be playing in the Roulette as he believes he needs no one, no ties, just his ropes and his kink. However he can't stand seeing Maggie and he Dom of the night and he of course interferes and takes over...and well it only gets much more interesting from there. What a great story.
Taken - Jane Henry
When love is lost, who is to blame, and cam it ever truly be found again. Can you forgive and forget. Della and Brayden, so much hurt and pain, yet paired in roulette for the night. He wants to punish her and she wants to be punished for redemption. But to what end. can they find love at the end of it all, or will they wipe the slate clean of regrets and walk away again. This story is so well written, and with such heart from both Della and Bryden's point of view.
The conclusion to the night is written by Livia and Jennifer tying up the loose ends from me of the additional action that happens during the stories, however there is at least one unanswered question I have from some well placed hints [Ms Grant might you have a story coming?] woven throughout, and I look forward to more from this series. It is indeed a pleasure when a series continues to maintain the standard it began with.
Please keep up the fine work ladies, and thank you.
