Sometimes you get lucky with friend’s recommendation and boy did I ever get lucky when a friend recommended that I read A is for . . . by L. Dubois. It was a wonderful book with an interesting storyline and some amazing sex scenes. Now, I’m recommending it to you.The owners of Las Palmas, a BDSM club, believe that the Doms and subs have become too complacent and aren’t challenging themselves anymore. They invented a game for all their members based upon the alphabet. Each couple is given a checklist of activities to complete based upon the letter they have been assigned. The activities are designed to push boundaries and shake everyone up. So let the games begin.The letter A has been assigned to Anna and Master Jensen. They have one weekend to check everything off the list. Master Jensen and Anna have not formally bonded yet and this weekend offers them the opportunity to test their relationship and discover if they can trust each other enough to bond.As the weekend progresses, Master Jensen pushes Anna more and more. Many of the things he asks her to do make her uncomfortable. As the reader, I too was uncomfortable, but only because Ms. Dubois did a masterful job of pulling me into Anna’s emotions. I felt everything she did, except for those amazing orgasms, which brought this book to another level.The sex scenes were not for the faint of heart, but if you like your sex on the kinky side then you will love this book. I found my heart racing and my brow sweating as the chemistry between the two jumped off the pages. Everything seemed so interesting and fascinating that I kept turning the page to see what they would do next. But even in each difficult task Master Jensen asked of Anna, his love and concern for her was evident. Their relationship showed the best side of Domination and submission.As if the sex wasn’t intriguing enough, Ms. Dubois provided a compelling story as she slowly peeled back the layers of Anna and Master Jensen’s relationship. Throughout the story we would see glimpses of Anna’s life away from the club scene and each peek made me want to know more. Somehow Ms. Dubois wrote a bit of mystery into the plot and I could not put the book down until I discovered the answers.A is for . . . is the first in Ms. Dubois’ BDSM Checklist series. I am so glad that there are 25 more letters to write about because I am excited about this series. So thank you to my friend who recommended this book and you’re welcome for recommending it to you.
