REVIEW

Natalie Kendrick is haunted by erotic dreams and they are getting worse—better?—about a man from her past. Except he can’t be real, couldn’t have been real even in her past. She worries about her sanity. How can she want this phantom man so badly?

Alexander once used his vampire gifts to save a young girl’s life, but he didn’t think of all the consequences at the time. He has long watched over her, loving her for saving him. But he finally comes to her, believing he must let her move on with her life. He must admit what he did to her and let her go.

This is a very short story with intriguing characters, each trapped by a love they don’t understand and can’t deny. He was a hero to admire and she was a heroine worthy of him.

Whips. Blindfolds. Restraints. And a man rumored to be the most skilled Dom in the city... As the BDSM instructor at the hottest fetish club in Los Angeles, Bianca Alexander prides herself on being open, honest, and informative with her clientele when it comes to kink. The fact that she hasn’t knelt before a master of her own in four long years doesn’t affect her ability to teach, though a part of her longs to be back in her Dom's arms. But when her boss hires Cade Sinclair--her primary rival from a competing club--to assist teaching her classes, Bianca’s comfortable solo act becomes a sinful duet drenched in Pure Sin.

This is a work of art for those dig a little BDSM in their play. Smartly written, Rynne does an excellent follow up to her Welcome to Eden short. Bianca was a relatable character with her witty personality and a bit of a stubborn streak, perfect for her work as a Dominatrix. Cade is, of course, a finely written alpha hunk we would all like to be dominated by—I know I would.

You can see that Rynne did some research before writing this tale. The Dom/sub subculture isn’t just thrown in for the kink alone, you get a glimpse into their society.

Excellent read!

As a psychiatrist Caitlyn Ward does all she can to help her patients. So when Caitlyn feels she has let down a patient who is feeling bad about some of her sexual preferences. The doctor decides to do all she can to fix things and investigate her own interests in the subject by doing some of her own on-site research. Caitlyn heads down to a fetish club called Eden. There she tries to blend in intending to find someone who can help her find some answers. Not knowing the rules she mistakenly sends the wrong signals. Luckily the club owner Evan Chambers comes to her rescue.

Welcome to Eden is a great read. Caitlyn is a smart and open-minded woman ready to try and understand her patient’s desires. Showing her moxie she goes into a fetish club unescorted and knowing nothing about how things are done. Evan is a great Dom taking her under his wing and showing her the ropes. I enjoyed what seems to be the beginning of a wonderful relationship between the two. Rynne Raines pulls the reader into a wonderful world full of sensuality and keeps you entranced from start to finish. This book is a hot read and should not be missed. My only complaint is that it was over to quickly. I will certainly be on the look out for more from this author.
