Grace has accepted David's offer to get away to the Dining Club. She's curious but terrified of what she's going to encounter. She's already admitted that she's more than halfway in love with David and she's afraid that she is willing to do everything she could to please him even if she didn't agree with it wholeheartedly.David is determined for Grace to go through with the test, but offers her a chance to back out and in turn end their relationship. But he is who he is and it's better to find out if they have a future together sooner rather than later.To say I was a bit surprised with what I read would be an understatement. This was unlike anything I read before simply because David's attitude took me completely by surprise. He was so adamant that they had to get through the 'test' to be able to keep on with their relationship, that I was starting to doubt his motives.David, a strong, dominating man, is used to getting his way in the bedroom, but underneath all that I still could see that he wanted this relationship to work. He was honest with himself and with Grace, even if it would bring their relationship to a halt. I had to admire that about him.My heart went out to Grace. She really was between a rock and a hard place (no pun intended). To please the man she loves or to walk away. She so wanted this to work out that at times her nerves got the better of her threatening her chances of succeeding. I think she wanted this a little too much and lost herself in the process. Gone was the strong-minded individual and in came a love-crazed fool woman. I'm hoping she gains her confidence back as the story progresses. Right now, I'm a bit disappointed in her although I could understand what she was struggling with. We'll see.Marina Anderson delivered a sizzling series of events that had me tapping the hell of my tablet to see what would happened next and how Grace would fare on this onslaught of pleasure that was thrown at her. I didn't much are for Amber's role in all of this, nor that of the twins. I would have been content with just David and Andrew, it would have made for a more sensual story for me, since Grace had that immediate attraction to Andrew. So sue me, I like my men.I'm curious about what's in store for Grace now and how she will react to it once again.I received this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange of my honest opinion.
