Copy provided by author in exchange for an honest reviewTaming Alyssa is filled with BDSM and lots of erotic sensual scenes but it was different from other books that I have read. Usually, in most books the Dominant is teaching a submissive but in this case its the submissive teaching/training her partner to find his inner Dominant side.Alyssa, finds herself moving back home to her hometown to be closer to her family after a failed marriage. Alyssa's divorce has left her feeling like a failure and so she has built up these walls surrounding her heart. Alyssa finds herself waking up the next morning after her sibling's wedding to Matt, her brother's best friend. Alyssa knows hooking up with Matt was all wrong but she couldn't deny the sexual attraction to him. Matt adores Alyssa and knows that they have great sexual chemistry but Alyssa finds herself craving more than "vanilla sex." Alyssa is a self-proclaimed submissive, and she informs Matt that she needs to be in a DOM/SUB relationship. Matt is shocked to find out that Alyssa is into BDSM but at the same time intrigued. He wants to be with Alyssa so badly that he agrees to learn how to be a DOM within the suggestion of Alyssa's 30 day trial period.Within the 30 trial period, Matt tries to get in touch with his Dom side and tries to fulfill the sexual submissive side that Alyssa needs and craves. He finds himself stepping out of his comfort zone and exploring this whole new scene. Matt goes beyond Alyssa expectation. She finds herself craving Matt and her sexual needs are being satisfied by him. Matt knows he's already fallen in love with Allie but he knows that Allie still has fears and is afraid to open up her heart again. Matt knows he needs to push her limits in order for her to finally submit her heart to him. Little by little the walls, Alyssa has build surrounding her heart is being teared down. The transformation and journey of the two was well paced throughout the book. It will take its readers on an erotic sensual romantic journey of Alyssa and Matt.
