I've said this before, but I love how the author explains what's actually going on inside of Aria's head constantly. I love seeing her struggle on giving up control, and then desperately trying to grasp some of it back.

Huss did a wonderful job feeding me enough bread crumbs to not give away too much, yet still got me hooked. This book is about a young woman on the run from some "secret society" that her brother helped her hide from. But a man, from the higher ups of the "secret society", has taken a notice and a liking to the main character. It was a little on the "too aggressive" side for my personal liking (view spoiler)[The texting, the breaking and entering, the underwear, the attempted door breaking down! (hide spoiler)], but it made since since our main character is young and lonely. She desperately wants a connection, and James is for sure there to fill that (and many other) voids. I understand that he is an assassin/spy, but he was way too stalker-y for my liking. But once they got passed that initial meeting, I thought it was a pretty hot short story. I also am probably giving this a little higher rating that I should, because 1.) It's set in Huntington Beach -- which is a place I visit a few times a year (view spoiler)[Even though I'm pretty positive people would notice if you JUMPED OFF THE PIER! (hide spoiler)] and 2.) The main character's name is Harper which also pulls at my heartstrings a little. Overall, a great fast read, and I plan to give the first real novel in this series a try!

Therefore, I feel forced to give this anthology a three star rating, but some of these stories are freaking amazing! I would totally recommend this to all of my friends, I just might tell them to skip a couple. ...more

This is a BDSM short about a woman trying to get over the loss of her Dom, by going to a BDSM club "just to look".
My problem with this story was immediate, because one minuet the story goes from a woman looking over an auction (refusing to partake), to a duel perspective shift of a man being lead into a room by the woman that just purchased him. The transition felt very off.
Then, the next 50% of this 13k word story is about a woman washing a man in the shower. I actually went back and reread the description to make this was erotica. Why set up this elaborate, sexy shower scene? She then proceeds to preform fellatio, while shedding tears for her ex-Dom who has passed away and never really loved her.
I was about ready to give this a one star review, but then as she is leaving the room because her time was up, the Dom stepped up and made the story readable. Good sex, good kink, good story explanation on what the fuck was actually happening. It actually enticed me to read more by this author.
TLDR; Ok short story, but working your way through the first half is a little painful. ...more
