First off , first time reading a book from this Author.. and just the name caught me.. Lulu Astor.. Great Job!!  My friends also call me Lulu short for Lourdes.We first meet Ariel (Ella)  Strong, innocent until she meets Mr. Ian Blackmon, gorgeous CEO, coming through the doors of the jewelry shop she works for.  Not knowing much asks her best friend Mariah about him, that's he's the most notorious Bachelor in Portland, never seen with the same woman twice.One day he asks her to come to his office after that day at the shop, because he cannot stop thinking about her." Ms. Strong—and I have to be honest— ever since that evening, I’ve had trouble getting you out of my mind…“ he perched on the corner of his desk and crossed his arms, “so I asked you here today to consider a proposition I’d like to put forward.”And of course this has to do with BDSM, she never heard about much but from her friend Mariah, so she signed.  Hoping it can work, with this handsome man, but like 3 and half weeks, much time she spent with Ian, until the whipping night.  She had enough and left and went about to study, until almost year later she returned to the states, to Los Angeles, not Portland.But Ian Blackmon did not give up on her, he did find out what happened to Ariel and let her be, he returned to the states, tried to make some changes, and also one night, he need to get out, try to forget Ariel, when that night of all nights, Ariel shows up at the club with her friends, and sees Ian from afar, they meet eyes, and things get hot again between them too, like if they were not apart for so long.  Gosh did Ian miss Ariel, and so the feelings mutual.  But Ariel gets a proposition of a job to work in New York, and Ian does not like the idea, and this is where all the commotion comes about because his Ex, Natasha, from Russian family, Russian Mafia, and did a lot to sabotage Ian's Blackmon company and life, this story keeps you wanting to change pages, its a page turner, you will not be disappointed, the sex, the love story, the will to trust, and learn from one another, they meet Daniel, who went through a similar story like Ian, and Daniel has Ian's back and helps him to move ahead with his company.My first read by this author and I loved it, it kept me in suspense, loved the sex scenes, the BDSM, and how Ian and Ella could handle anything as long as there was truth in the relationship.  Great Read, you will not be disappointed, long 500 pg E book, but well worth it.  Yay!!!  5 Stars!!!*copy gifted for honest review**originally reviewed for WeLoveKink(dot)com
