I seldom give books a 5-star rating.  To earn that from me, the book has to grab & hold my attention, and needs to be a story that "touches my heart and stir my emotions."  This is the third book in this series, and all 3 books have done just that for me.  After finishing the second book, (Did I say finish?  I should have said "devoured!"), I rushed to pre-order the third installment.  If you have not read the first two books in this series, do yourself a huge favor and purchase them right away.  And read them both, in order, before reading this one.  I know that you will soon become as involved in the lives of Henry, Jay, and Alice as I have.This book picks up where Book #2 left off.  It Is the day after the disastrous evening at Henry's club and he is doing damage control for Jay (who is shell-shocked) and for Alice (who has been traumatized) after Jay's run-in with a cruel Dom who had mistreated him several years earlier.  When Alice comes to Jay's defense and verbally offends the Dom, club rules demand her punishment, which Henry is forced to mete out in front of an audience of all the club members present.  As a patient and loving Dom, Henry must now use all of his knowledge and experience in helping his beloved Subs work through their emotions as a result of their traumatic experience, which will help to strengthen the bond that already exists between these three.Henry is an experienced Dominant who loves and nurtures Jay & Alice, and their relationship quickly evolves from one of a Dominant and his Submissives, to so much more.  I can't wait to read the next installment, and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who would enjoy reading about a committed ménage relationship between three very different individuals, who find what they need in each other.  All books are well written with no noticeable typos or grammatical errors.Note:  All three books in this series contain a small amount of BDSM.  It is nominal and tastefully done.  Although this trio originally started out as neighbors, became friends, and then moved on to become lovers, their story is about so much more than their physical relationship.  Love develops between them and forms an unbreakable bond.  So while they most certainly do indulge in some unusual sexual activities from time to time, it is done with much planning and forethought on Henry's part, and always adheres to the safe, sane and consentual code of proper and professional BDSM practices.  However, if you find this type of material offensive, you may wish to bypass this series.
