Where do I start?  If you have read any of Ms. Jacob’s previous books, you have already been introduced to our heroine Leagh, and Tony.  The book starts off with the funeral of George, Leagh’s Master and her love.  His sudden death throws her into an emotional tailspin, and then things go from bad to worse. George’s ex-wife and daughter try to bar her from the funeral, which didn’t work, then when she goes back to the home she shared with George, she finds out she is locked out and a restraining order keeps her away. Her clothes and possessions, ruined by the two evil women, she is homeless, penniless, and in such emotional pain that she shuts down completely.I wanted to fight him…kick and scream until he left me to wallow in my misery. But most of all I wanted to howl at George for leaving me alone, scared, and unprotected. Yet I couldn’t find the strength.Tony, the Sadist Dom from Genesis, the BDSM club that George and Legah belonged to, steps in and starts to take care of her, making sure she has a place to stay, and someone to talk to. Tony, it seems, has had our Legah in his cross hairs for awhile, but true to the DOM code, he never approached her while George was alive. Now, all bets are off. He will have the little brat, as he calls her.The thing I loved about this book is that before Tony claimed Leagh physically, he claimed her emotionally. The buildup between these two is slow.  Although there is some real heat in the beginning, Tony knows it’s only Leaghs emotions over taking her.“I’ll take you where you need to go, sweetheart. But you’re with me. I want your eyes open and staring into mine.” His raspy voice was like a match setting fire to an already smoldering blaze. The flames licked so hot and bright, they nearly consumed me. “This is between me and you. I won’t be a substitute for George. Do you understand?”Tony’s words pierced deep. His image blurred as tears stung my eyes and memories of George flooded in a deluge of pain.As the story develops, more and more is heaped upon Leagh’s shoulders, things that could easily break our girl, but throughout, Tony is there, constant in his love. He knows what she is, he gets that she is truly submissive and as he gives her what has to be one of the best mind readings I have ever read, he makes sure she understands it as well.The sex is hot, the feelings are raw and real and Ms. Jacob conveys that in each sentence. These two, the reader feels, were destined to be together, and the book doesn’t disappoint. As for myself, once again I’m drawn to Drake and Trevor and I’m hoping Ms. Jacob gives us their story sometime soon.
