Kalinda and Josh are perfect together, but when Josh sends her away from him he tears her heart out. Kalinda tries to find solace at the club called The Gilded Lily. Which is where Dominic finds her strapped to the St. Andrews cross and nearly beaten unconscious. Dominic soon becomes Kalinda’s rock and her master. Yet Dominic knows that she must first confront her feelings for Josh before they can move on. The two go back to Chicago to find out just what can be done and where they all stand. Dominic soon realizes that they all have a place together and he hopes that Kalinda and Josh will see that too or he has just gambled the love of his life away.
Right from the start you can see the love that Dominic and Josh have for Kalinda. If only Kalinda herself, could see it than all would be well, but Kalinda must revisit her past and pain first. I don’t know who I loved more Dominic or Josh? Both are great men as well as perfect Doms for Kalinda. Kalinda is a feisty woman who will give her masters a run for their money. Watching the three try to figure out just where they all fall in each other’s lives was a great read. This story takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotions. As much as I loved Nissey’s Dom: Caelen, Josh and Dominic have endeared themselves to this reader as well. They truly love Kalinda and are willing to fight for her, no matter what the costs. When Kalinda and Nissey are attacked the men move into action to protect the girls but it may not be enough to save them. After Kalinda’s kidnapping, Josh and Dominic must try to win back not only Kalinda’s heart but her submission as well.
Dakota Trace writes a beautiful story about love and trust. She not only has the characters endear themselves to the reader but also has you wanting more. Taming Kalinda is an intense read full of emotion. Even through the most extreme scenes and sex in this book the love that the three share shines through it all. Not only do we get to see into the lives of Kalinda, Josh and Dominic but we also get to visit with Nissey and Caelen once again. I really enjoyed this book and am eagerly awaiting Olivia’s story.
Aw thanks Gabrielle. I'm glad you enjoyed Taming Kalinda. It was bit more than I'm used to writing but I had fun trying to wrap my mind around the idea of two Doms and one sub - especially one as feisty as Kalinda.
