Passion and pleasure stir, forming a dangerous love triangle. This is the world of the forbidden. This is the embrace of EnthrallWOW!This novel by Vanessa Fewings is amazing! It is hot, sexy and full of passion! Not your typical BDSM/erotica novel. Enthrall was different on so many levels. It possessed an intensity and intrigue that I haven’t found in similar, very well know and written books of this caliber. Having a bit of a love triangle between Mia, Richard and Cameron was different. I found Cameron’s character to be very intricate and original.Being the psychiatrist and director at Enthrall and Chrysalis , two of L.A.’s premier and exclusive fetish clubs, he expertly brings young and naive Mia into Enthrall to be Richard’s assistant in order to “save him”. Although his plan is in play, it may not be according to what he expected. The intensity and dynamic between Mia, Richard and Cameron is that of none I’ve ever read.Cameron is manipulative and highly intelligent individual who administers a huge sense of self control as well as a dominate control over others…and not necessarily in a sexual way. Just his presence is dominate. Richard is Cameron’s best friend since… forever. When things go awry in Richards life in years past, Cameron takes him in and helps him to overcome the ugliness of his past through BDSM….a vice which for some, not only releases and helps them control anger but also gives them pleasure.Cameron now feels it’s time for Richard to move on…to “feel again”, hence, Mia. The supporting characters were refreshing. As female dominates who appeared harsh, hard and mean upon Mia’s interview, are very warm, loving, accepting and welcoming to Mia. Lotte,Penny and Scarlett took her under their wing, made her feel as if she belonged….they loved her! This book was more than what I expected! I truly have a hard time putting into words the intricacy of this trio. It’s so much more than a DBSM/erotica. Bottom line… it was FANTASTIC! I loved it! I love Vanessa Fewings! Can’t wait to read “Enthrall Her” and “Enthrall Him”.
