Warning: This is a review of book three in a series. While I never give spoilers of a book I am reviewing, I cannot promise that I'm not going to give spoilers of previous books in the series. If you haven't read books one and two Rebound and Dragonfly Kisses, please beware! I might drop some hints of events that occur in those books.Smoking Holt is book three in the Tryst Island series by Sabrina York. Tryst Island tells the story of a group of friends that share a vacation house on Tryst Island, a remote town accessed only by ferry. We first met Holt and Bella in the first Tryst Island book, Rebound. Holt was drunkenly kissing Bella's older sister, while Krista was trying to hook up with one of the other housemates, Cam. Readers already got the impression that Bella had feelings for Holt in this book, along with nagging hostility from Bella toward her sister. Rebound was always one of my favorite Sabrina York books... Move over Rebound!Smoking Holt is, well... SMOKING! I started reading it in the car rider line at school, waiting to pick up my kids, but I was kind of scared a teacher or principle was going to come and confiscate my Kindle. I can't imagine what kind of catastrophe that would be. I actually felt a little guilty for reading it on school property. Yeah, it is that good!!Holt Lamm is a Dominate, and he knows what he is doing. Bella is insistent that she is not submissive, nor interested in the lifestyle. I absolutely love Holt's explanation of BDSM and the lifestyle. Here are a couple of my favorite quotes."And for your information, my lifestyle isn't about bullying women. It isn't about bullying anyone. It's about two people exploring their sexuality from different angles. Experimenting with different roles. Finding where they meet and match and merge...""But you prefer submissive women." "No. I prefer women who are open to exploration."One of my favorite types of books are where you get the point of view from both the male and female characters, and you get that here. It is a short story that takes place over a few days time. But you do get a happy for now ending. I'm sure there will be more of these characters, with the next Tryst Island book. I give this one Five Stars!
