My Review:It was no secret that I loved book #1 in this series, Forbidden Fantasies. One of the reasons that I loved it so much was because the hero and heroine weren't your typical erotica characters, they'd been married for fifteen years. While no where close to the same story line set-up, this book IS similar in the fact that the hero and heroine aren't typical.Marcus is a big alpha paramedic/firefighter. He's your typical alpha male...big, brawny, Italian, and gorgeous. BUT he has a secret submission fantasy. He wants to be the person that submits, but this doesn't fit the idea of who he is, so he's never gone after that fantasy.Bella has a desire to dominate, but has been abused mentally by playing D/s games with a past lover. As a result, she's a bit gun shy about playing with her fantasies again. She's atypical as a heroine in the fact that she's a curvy girl (which Marcus absolutely LOVES).Neither one of them are really ready to put their fantasies out there, but that doesn't change their draw to each other or their natural inclinations which slowly start to appear. They begin to realize that maybe they've finally met the right person to fulfill a little bit of mutual fantasy time.I liked this novella simply because the characters are so real. They have doubts and inhibitions that keep them from acting in a way that you, as the reader, can see would be so good for them. They are the perfect match for each other, but when you first meet a person, it's hard to be upfront about secret desires which might bring ridicule. That's what everyone fears, isn't it? It's really well-done, while at the same time staying really HOT! Another winner from Jodie Griffin!!I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for an honest review.
