IN DEBT TO THE DOM is a quick and sexy read, featuring a hot and loving Dominant that made me want to turn to a life of white-collar crime!This erotic novella was hot. There were lots of sensual and sexy love scenes between Maddie and Keaton, but there was a romance developing between them as well. The chemistry between them was palpable, as they navigate a Dominant/submissive sexual relationship together and it seemed to click for them. I really liked the main characters. Maddie had to deal with some crappy circumstances, but she was a fighter. And Keaton...well, he was just amazingly hot and dominant, and I love that. I didn't particularly like the Maddie's sister, but I think that was the whole point.There was also this central theme in the book with a key. It was symbolic but also very erotic. I don't want to give too much away, but every time the author mentioned a key, I got all tingly. Along with establishing their relationship, the book also focused on why Maddie stole the money and what ultimately happened to Maddie's sister. That subplot was interesting and gave the story more substance than just sex.Although the story was short, it was still developed well. I felt that the pacing of the story was appropriate because although their relationship moved quickly, they were basically together all the time for a month. I think it's much easier to fall in love with someone when you've been around them like that. The plot was also resolved as well.Ultimately, this was a highly enjoyable read: it moved quickly, had great characters, steamy love scenes, a good plot, and a nicely resolved happily ever after. This is my second Jan Bowles read, and both times I've been thoroughly entertained with her strong heroines and sexy alpha heroes.Reviewed by Rhofor The Romance Reviews
