False Pretenses by Cara Bristol is a delightfully wicked and entertaining addition to her Rod and Cane Society series. From beginning to end; I found myself charmed by the characters, immersed in the plot, and intrigued by the blossoming relationship between Emma Dupree and Dan Tanner.Emma works at an insurance company but moonlights as a freelance columnist for a newspaper. She's been working undercover on an expose of the Rod and Cane Society and thinks this story could garner her a full time position as a columnist. When Dan helps her find her missing cat, she recognizes his name but thinks it's from the signs for his real estate firm. She doesn't realize he's on the board of the society.I really like Emma's character. She is spunky, smart, and not afraid to admit when she is wrong. While ambitious she has a conscience and that make her seem very real.Dan is intense, charming, and pretty damn yummy. As a member of Rod and Cane he advocates spanking but for the most part he prefers erotic spankings to discipline spankings. He is humbled when Emma responds to him and his demands. Let me just say that the spanking and sex scenes between these two are hot and intense.When Dan feels Emma has broken his trust, it becomes clear that these two really don't know a lot about each other and proves their relationship developed at an alarmingly fast pace. With the help of the Rod & Cane Society they are able to work past their differences and move forward.I thoroughly enjoyed False Pretenses mainly because of its two likeable and believable characters. I will reiterate again that this story and the one before it are unlike anything I've read before. They are captivating and stimulating and well worth reading!Review copy provided for an honest review.
