Note:  This isn't my particular preference for an erotic combination but it was sensitively and alluringly portrayed.4.75 stars!“Divine Solace” by Joey Hill is the erotic tale that follows the journey of Gen, a novice to the BDSM world, as she is seduced by a Domme named Lyda and a submissive named Noah. Despite the fact that Gen is well-acquainted with other participants in this lifestyle, she has not ventured to explore it until an inexplicable attraction to both Lyda and Noah, albeit in different ways, tempts her to discard the habits she has adopted for self-protection. The dynamics of the relationship between the three of them gradually shift as Gen is coaxed into facing her desires and discovers that she has plenty to offer to the duo who have their own unresolved issues. Ultimately, each member of the triad must learn his or her true value for the others before the delicate balance between them unravels completely.The characters that this author creates are so complex and compelling that they are inevitably memorable. I was sharply reminded of this when Gen catches a glimpse of a couple from one of my favorite novels in this series...who were featured in volume 2...that I get lost in every time I pick it up. The sensual scenes that are so vividly described are enriched by the complicated backstory that each character possesses and the imagery that can be evoked by a single sentence is always impressive to me. Lyda’s description of Gen as a ‘fierce rabbit’ and her accusation that Gen has ‘trouble getting out of the way of (her) own head’ describes her conflicted behavior exquisitely and Noah’s allure for Gen is apparent by her description of him as ‘a living, breathing, perfect moment’ and who can resist someone who can ‘recognize a woman’s body is an orchestra and when he touches her, he finds the perfect soundtrack for her’? There are so many phrases that resonate with me in one of Ms. Hill’s stories and this one is no exception as she once again weaves a mesmerizing story that combines sizzling scenes of ‘Risk Awareness Consensual Kink’ with a beautiful journey to love.
