This is the second book in the Bondage and Breakfast series and after reading this one, I'm definitely gonna have to find the first one, read it and then continue on with the series. I absolutely adored Bella and Marcus, both together and apart. When we first meet Bella, she's playing poker with three older ladies at a retirement home. Those three ladies are a ton of fun and absolutely remind me of myself and a couple of my friends and what we'll likely be like when we get into our 90s.The development of a relationship between Bella and Marcus was great. They both had issues they had to work through, things that had happened to them in the past and things they weren't sure about for their futures. Bella was definitely a great, strong female character. For the most part she was secure and she knew what she wanted, but she also had a vulnerability and insecurity to her. She was supposedly plus-sized, but we didn't get much in the way of description that supported that. I would have really liked to know what was considered plus-sized in Bella's case.The give and take of control between Bella and Marcus was super hot. Both of them being Switches was interesting and something you definitely do not see much when it comes to the D/s stories that are popping up all over. I really liked the idea of a BDSM hotel and Gabe...holy hotness. Cannot wait to see him again and often.This was a great introduction to Jodie Griffin's work for me and I look forward to checking out more by her.Arc provided by the publisher via Netgalley
