I liked everything about this book - the cover, the character names, the plotline and the light BDSM scenes. I was pleasantly surprised and entertained with this read having not read this author before, and shall look forward to reading the rest of the series.Presley Flynn has recently finished her eight year relationship with her boyfriend, who she had moved to Las Vegas with, after she found out the scumbag had been cheating on her. Luckily she had made a new friend in Cora who had taken Presley under her wing. She notices the books that Presley is reading are all about BDSM and as this is the scene Cora is into being a sub, she tells Presley and offers to get her a meeting with the Club owner and Master, Dmitri.Master Dmitri (rawr for the name alone!) is entranced by the little sub, who is as nervous as a kitten and not knowing what she is letting herself in for. He therefore agrees to take her under his ownership and teach her all she needs. This is unknown for him to take on a novice but he feels a pull he cannot explain. His fellow masters are shocked at this but still find the time to rib him relentlessly for it. This is what I liked about this book in that there was banter between the masters and it wasn't all portrayed as dark and brooding. They were your everyday guys in professions such as the police and law who also just happened to have a particular kink they expressed in their own club - Club Sin.Presley was a little shy and hesitant but she was no shrinking violet and wanted to learn all she could from Dmitri. I liked how he pushed her to be open with her inner feelings and not be oppressed and feel she had to always be the nice girl and please everyone all of the time, even if it was not what she really wanted to do. This was not what a sub should be.This was a light and fun read of BDSM which is why I liked it. Sometimes the dark and oppressive reads are a little hard going at times so this was a refreshing change.The characters of Presley and Dmitri were a well-balanced pairing and I liked the relationship development even though neither of them were looking at this as a relationship. The secondary characters were also well portrayed, especially the masters (playing pool!) and Cora, she was a minx!It was a fast paced easy read for me and the flow just kept it moving along nicely for a summer's day read. So if you want to ease yourself into BDSM books then this is a definitely a good one to start with before you move onto the hard stuff.
