Captivating characters in an intoxicating story, BDSM fans will devour this oneJoseph has written another fabulous tale full of multifaceted characters.  Fortune will grab a hold of you and never let you go. The pacing is smooth, the characters riveting, and their struggle rediscovering themselves as they explore a life together left me talking out loud to my Kindle. This is one of those special books that are worthy of a reread when I have a pile of books next to me I've never touched. I've said it before, Annabel Joseph is a master and every BDSM fan should have her on their auto buy list.Readers first met Dr. Ryan in Deep in the Woods.  A neurosurgeon Dom who practices bump and run sex, zero commitment and zero attachment, he meets his match in Katya. Busy training the security staff in martial arts, he becomes fascinated with the regular at the vanilla club. For weeks he watches her play her game. Then, the Dom makes his move.Katya plays the same one night stand game as Ryan in the vanilla world. Six nights a week she trolls the club looking for a partner who can provide her with sexual release and no pillow talk. No one seems to satisfy, until a fateful fall down the stairs lands Katya in the hospital in Dr. Ryan's care.Encouraged by Katya's family and her matriarch grandmother, Ryan pursues Katya as his sub.  Katya is a disaster. She plays roles not knowing who she is or how to be happy. Confused would be the best word for her.  Aimless.  Floating. Ryan gives her direction and pushes her to claim what she wants and stop what doesn't satisfy her.  Going through life most of us have had moments when we felt adrift ourselves, making Katya relatable.I loved how similar the two were underneath it all.  He may have been the sophisticated upper class Dom and she the middle class thrift store girl from the vanilla world, but both have deep seeded issues that prevent them from truly opening up to another. That of course is the magic that had me crying and yelling and grinning from ear to ear.Always reliable, Annabel Joseph has penned another  treasure.  Erotica fans, I know you are going to love this! Enjoy!
