This is the first time I have read a book by Mari Carr and I have to say if her other books are like Come Monday then the author has just found herself a new follower. I was surprised that such a short book could pack so much oomph in it.Keira is a 27 year old woman trying to be everything to everyone except living and enjoying her own life. Taking on the task of raising her six younger siblings after their mother died along with helping run the Irish family pub/restaurant with her dad and going to school to further her education, it doesn't leave much room for Keira to have fun and enjoy life. That is until she starts fantasizing about her hunky English professor which she sees as a problem versus a solution to her non-existent love life. As it turns out Will, her gorgeous professor has been having fantasies of his own about Keira, but his run a little darker as he is a Dom who would love to make Keira his sub and together experience some kinky fun.Will introduces Keira to some kinky stuff that I was at first surprised that she would so willingly and eagerly engage in as she has never heard of some of the stuff that he introduces her to. Her willingness to engage so freely in sex toys and in some back door activity, without any arguments or concerns made me wonder if it was too easy or too fast. The end result was some very hot, scorching scenes that jumped off the pages and made some cold showers necessary.What was wonderful to see develop was Will's growing feelings about the nature of the relationship and about Keira herself. In the beginning he may have felt this would be just another Dom/sub relationship, but Keira's determination to maintain control in various parts of her life and Will's discovery that there was something more happening between the two of them then just physical gratification made him a lovable character. Will is a very hot, Alpha male who knows how to bring Keira some unimaginable levels of ecstasy, but is able to demonstrate kindness , love and the willingness to let her be her own woman.Warning this book has scenes of bondage, sex toys and some anal action so if you feel uncomfortable reading those types of scenes you have been warned, however that being said, they were some of the hottest and most erotic scenes I have seen written and definitely get an A for setting the pages and the reader on fire.Come Monday (Wild Irish, Book One)
