When I open the pages of a book written by Cherise Sinclair I make certain assumptions. I assume I’m going to be reading a well-written book with fully developed characters, an intriguing story and unbelievable hot, passionate sex. I have never been disappointed by any of Ms. Sinclair’s books and her newest one, Edge of the Enforcer, just continued this winning streak.Alexander DeVries is a Dom at Dark Haven. Because of his sadist tendencies he is often called upon to “punish” errant submissives, hence his nickname “The Enforcer.” He is attracted to one of the subs at the club but doesn’t believe that Lindsey can handle his particular kink of pain. But after a session of beating on a male sub, DeVries needs a sexual release and Lindsey owes him after losing an earlier bet. He calls in the debt and finds himself wanting more with Lindsey.Lindsey is definitely attracted to DeVries, but secrets from her past prevent her from wanting a relationship. She can’t stay away from the sexy sadist though and worries that once he discovers her secrets he will not want her anymore.I fell head over heels in love with Alexander DeVries. Despite being a sadist, DeVries is a gentle and caring soul. He is everything I would personally want in a Dom, well except for that whole pain thing. He recognized Lindsey’s insecurities and went out of his way to reassure her and build up her confidence. And does he ever know how to make love to a woman. Their relationship was so authentic especially when they had to work through the issue that Lindsey was not a masochist. Ms. Sinclair masterfully created characters so real that I want to be friends with all of them.Hot, steamy BDSM scenes are a given in any Cherise Sinclair book, but I think she may have outdone herself with Edge of the Enforcer.  I have always found the whole BDSM world fascinating, but couldn’t imagine being turned on by pain. Ms. Sinclair showed the beauty behind the pain and left me with a better understanding of what drove DeVries. She also left me hot and bothered but that’s to be expected.What I find amazing with Ms. Sinclair’s books is that even though she writes about Doms and submissives, she never forgets the importance of the storyline. Interwoven throughout the passion is a story filled with intrigue and drama. Even knowing that we’ll be getting a happy ending, I find myself on the edge of my seat waiting to see how we are going to arrive there. The twists and turns along the way make the journey fascinating and unexpected and bring a good book to a level of greatness.Edge of the Enforcer is the fourth book in the Doms of Dark Haven series.  I have not read the other books in the series, yet I had no difficulty following along. Plus, my appetite is now whetted for some more Dark Haven and I look forward to going back and catching up with this series. Look like it’s going to be a hot summer for me!
