I had heard nothing but great things about this series- so when I saw the first two books boxed together, I thought why not. I was not disappointed at all. Though the books themselves are short, they are packed with material that allows us to really get to know the characters.The story follows Tara as she enters a contest to win a million dollars to help get her Gramma out of a nursing home. While waiting for her audition, she meets Lucian. He is there for his own reasons. These two are drawn to each other in a way neither of them can explain. As the story unfolds, they are paired together for the competition and begin to bond.While the challenges the couple participates in for the competition are based in BDSM, the book itself also focuses on the complexities of relationships in general. Neither one knows what to do with the emotions that the other brings forth in them. The dynamic the competition creates around the budding relationship is what really had me hooked. Through various challenges the couple wins this round of Dom Wars and is sent onto the global tournament. I look forward to the rest of the series and the deepening connection between Lucian and Tara.
