Violet, a massage therapist, has dated men in the past to please the requirements of her family rather than herself. After a New Year's day fresh start, she decides to register for an on line dating service being truthful of her own desires and fantasies to find her Prince Charming .Admitting to a secret desire to submit to a dom or two.  Enter Carlos and Morgan. Best friends and co-well to do-artists. Both get Violet's profile as a possible match and both want her. They agree to compete to see who she likes better in a no holds bar competition. Whoever she chooses will get to keep her and the loser will bow out of the picture without hard feelings. But what happens if she likes both of them and can't make a decision?  This story follows the antics of two alpha rich dom guys who will stop at nothing to get their ideal sub as their own.I hesitated to buy this read because of the title. Don't let that fool you. Blushing Violet is no pansy story. It follows the journey of a curvy shapely caring female who comes into her own after having the support of a loving dom bring out the strengths she had never had the courage to embrace. I loved the profession she had of a massage therapist and that, although she regretted not getting a college degree, she never turned her back on it to get into another job. So many times stories have the heroine in a job that she casts aside by the end of the story for some reason or another. In this one Violet is good at what she does and enjoys it. I thought that a sexy massage for one of the guys would happen somewhere in this story but came to find out she specialized in therapeutic healing massages.  The book had an engaging storyline and hot animal chemistry between the central characters. Scenes were steamy and occurred in many different places (gave me new appreciation for the opera). But there wasn't a lot of in depth  toy interaction play.A really good BDSM story for the mild to moderate lifestyle read.
