So, long awaited and devoured in one sitting but a nice satisfying little appetiser for Melt Into You, Roni Loren's next full length novel to be released next month.This is the story of Seth and Leila. Leila is Jace's (from Crash and Melt Into You) little sister. She and Seth got together when they were still at college. She was a virgin, he a little more experienced. They were very much in love but she fell pregnant. He stood by her despite the disapproval of his family and they married and made a life together.Now, seven years on, they're in a rut. They function as man and wife, mother and father but never seem to really see each other and sex has become a once a week vanilla missionary position horizontal shuffle duty and, now, even that is fading away, the spark completely extinguished. Their priorities have shifted from each other to mortgage payments and careers.Seth feels he needs to do something, he loves Leila after all, and is galvanised into action when he accidentally overhears Leila calling a talk radio station to confess that she almost strayed with her new client, Kade. Mmmmm, Kade. Sorry, where was I??Jace advises Seth to take Leila to The Ranch, a high end BDSM retreat, every room equipped with shackles and restraints. They start to play and all goes well, at first until Seth gets a call from his boss and tries to put an end to the weekend. So, this is decision time - what takes priority - their careers and mortgage payments or the future of their marriage?I very much enjoyed it - it's definitely BDSM lite despite the club setting, nothing very hardcore. It's a sweet story - Seth and Leila's love for one another is obvious and this is all about reigniting the fire in their relationship which had become buried under the weight of their responsibilities.Jace is up next in Melt Into You and I really hope that Kade gets his own novel sometime soon. Happiness is a warm sadist, after all!!!4 stars contemporary/ erotic romance
