Rating: 3 out of 5

3.5 StarsDestined for the Dom is a fun little novella with good character development, but it's a little light on plot. There are also two other major concerns with the book that I will discuss later. It is the second in the author's Masters of Submission series.Zoe Leighton is an erotic dancer who hates what she does for a living and who knows as she reaches 30 that her time as a dancer is limited. Hunter Black was her hero at the orphanage where they met, but he left 14 years ago and she has been on her own since she turned 18. When he comes back into her life, he talks her into quitting her job and moving away from Pittsburgh to live with him in Boston. They reconnect both emotionally and sexually, but Hunter can't bring himself to tell her he loves her. Zoe fears their relationship won't last and starts looking for work. Can Hunter bring himself to open up to Zoe and let her know he is committed to the relationship before she returns to the only work she knows?The two issues I have are: 1. The issue of Zoe finding work remains unresolved at the end. 2. The two of them have unprotected sex. In this day of possibly fatal STDs, for even a fictitious character to forego protection is monumentally stupid.There is some mild BDSM in the book, including bondage, spanking and toys, but nothing overwhelming or much more than ordinary bedroom play. And the connection between the two protagonists is hot.This is a novella, and could have used a little fleshing out to make it a full length book.Review copy provided for an honest review.
