A Shot in the Dark, Christine d'Abo's second installment in the Long Shot series, is an intense journey into the world of BDSM. Following her escape from an abusive D/s relationship, Paige Long has dedicated herself to the family owned coffee shop. Her meeting with dominant Carter West sparks her desire to once again explore her submissive side.The oldest of the Long siblings, Paige's submission in the bedroom is a sharp contrast to the control she exhibits in other areas of her life. Her first submissive relationship crossed that fine line that exists between pain for pleasure and abuse. Three years later Paige has a better understanding of her sexual desires, and her chance encounter with Carter brings her the submission she craves and incredibly satisfying sex.Carter is definitely an alpha male, but his need to dominate Paige is underscored by respect and caring. He puts Paige's satisfaction and needs ahead of his own wants and desires. He is also incredibly protective of her when she is confronted by her past.The same strong family connection from Double Shot is also present in A Shot in the Dark. Ian's advice and support plays a strong role in Paige coming to terms with both her past and present relationships. Intriguing glimpses of Josh, the owner of Mavericks, keeps me hoping Ms. d'Abo will someday tell us his story.A Shot in the Dark is a highly sensual read and provides readers with valuable insight into the BDSM lifestyle. I enjoyed getting to know Paige and Carter, and I am impatiently awaiting Ian's story Pulled Long which will be available December 12.If you are looking for a series that is fresh, unique and incredibly sexy, then you should give the Long Shot series a try.I received a complimentary copy for review.
