“Auctioned to the Honorable Dom-The Spectrum Auctions #1” by Doris O’Connor5 out of 5 starsThis book was short but packed quite a punch!  On a dare from a friend, Laura decides to sign up for the auction at the famed Spectrum Club.  Ready to have a few fantasies fulfilled with an experienced Dom, the last person she expects to find is Slade!  He’s her brother’s best friend and the man she has loved since she was a young girl.  What starts out as Slade’s protective instincts quickly turns to passion and soars to new heights for them both!Laura was an interesting character.  As a sub, she was compliant and more than willing to learn from Master Slade.  It would be easy to dismiss her as weak but there is a quiet strength and beauty in the submission she gives to her Dom.  Through him she is able to work through emotions that have long been buried and have constantly weighed her down.  The level of trust and depth at which she gives herself over to Slade is a little awe-inspiring.Slade makes for a great Dom.  He is intuitive and demanding as well as gentle and giving.  His longing for Laura is evident from the beginning and he brings a strength and balance to her character that is quite lovely.It would be easy to focus on the sex in the book, but I think that actually takes a backseat to the lessons about trust and love.  This story is a different sort of take on the BDSM lifestyle and I enjoyed seeing the emotional side of it.  The obvious chemistry between Laura and Slade is only made stronger by the underlying bond of love the two share.  I look forward to more in this series!*I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*Shannon, My Secret Book Spot
