So where do we start with "The Dom With The Perfect Brats"? Should we begin with Cross, the bada** Dom? Should we begin with Gemma, the tattooed bada** Brat? Should we begin with Izzy, the shy bi-sexual bada** Brat? How about we just combine it all into one and get to know Uber Dom Godfrey Cross and the woman who finally bring him to his knees?I had such a fun time reading this book. What an appropriate name for Gemma; she was a real gem - the perfect brat that refused to let any man control her, answered Cross back every chance she could refused to admit that she could be bi-sexual or a submissive. She is a tattoo artist making her way in a man's world, on her terms. She doesn't believe in this D/s thing ... hell, she was engaged to a man that left her for a Dominatrix! She's not doing this BDSM thing again. EVER. Then why does the feel of the strap, cane, Cross' hand feel do good? And why does the thought of kissing Izzy make her feel all fuzzy and warm?And, sweet, shy Isadora, our Australian cutie. She knows she's bi-sexual but can't do anything about it. She was shunned, bullied and eventually left home all because of it. She's destined to live her life checking off her bucket list and never finding true love. But one look at Gemma and she's toast. Then one look at Cross and she's butter on the toast, melting! But, like Gemma, she may be bi-sexual but she's not a submissive! Then why does she cream every time Cross give her an order? Why does she stand in the corner when she's told to?Now, our sweet, loving Dom, Cross. Yea, right. Try domineering, strong-willed, Pro-Dom with rules, regulations, protocols, and an upbringing that rivals "Mommy Dearest". He has to convince both these woman that "vanilla" is not for them. That they are submissives and he is the Dom that will train them to be what he needs. Selfish much? He needs both of these woman in his life but he needs them to adhere to his way or the highway. He just doesn't know how Jude puts up with Q and Sabrina and their bratty ways. He'd never put up with the sassing, the defiance - submissives are supposed to be that - submissive - not bratty. He doesn't love his submissives. He trains them to be what he needs. Yes, he gives back to them but on his terms. Then why does he enjoy these two so much? Why does the thought of losing them take his breath away?Cross finally gets his comeuppance and Jude, Q and Sabrina are there to watch him fall. They are there to listen to him, to guide him, to tell him everything that he is doing wrong in trying to keep Gemma and Izzy at his side. Well, Q is telling him everything ... Jude is laughing at him ... Sabrina is too worried about Q to worry about Cross and his problems. Aw, the loving family! Yes, family - Q has the baby - no spoilers - gotta read the book to see how that drama all plays out. But, it's cute watching Cross squirm and fall in love with Jude, Q's and Sabrina's little bundle of joy. It's what makes him realize just how much love he has inside of him and that there are more important things in life than protocol.I can't say enough good about this book and the writings of these three ladies. How they actually brought Cross to his knees and opened him up to find and accept the love of Gemma and Izzy was beautiful. The BDSM scenes were unbelievable, well-written and precise. Yep, put me into sub-space more than once just reading it. My favorite scene was when Gemma finally realized that being "Vanilla" wasn't all that it was cracked up to be - when she finally opens up and tells both Izzy and Cross that something is missing in their relationship without BDSM in it. Ah, the love just pours out between the three of them and it's just mind-boggling. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the introduction of Malachi. Hot, tattoo artist ... another Dom with a wicked sense of humor. I can see wonderful things happening in the next book and another Dom brought to his knees by a woman or women - who knows! What I do know is that I am so looking forward to his story and revisiting with Jude, Q, Sabrina (and baby makes 4) ... Cross, Gemma and Izzy. Hmm, what did happen to that condom that Cross lost?But, what really amazes me is how Leia, Cari and Sorcha come together as one and write such an exceptional book as a collaboration. Three different writing styles, three different authors - one amazing book! So, if you haven't read this series yet, do it, you won't be disappointed. They are all fun, loving, erotic and have an HEA that will have you in tears. The Dom With The Perfect Brats will have you reading with a smile on your face, wicked tingly feelings down below and a heart bursting with love.
