Contemporary Erotic Romance/BSDM

 

During a visit to Club Fetish during training night, Elise Blake had been intrigued not only with the BDSM lifestyle but also with dom master Mitchell Collins.  Mitchell saw her that same night and has not been able to stop thinking about her since, however Elise has gone out of her way to avoid him.  Mitchell’s luck changes when he hears a radio dj announce that for a donation to charity some lucky man will get to kiss Elise Blake.  Elise uses every ounce of will power to try to keep Mitchell at a distance because while he is unbelievable sexy and she is quite curious about his lifestyle, she is also afraid to explore that particular fantasy.  As Elise’s defenses weaken, Mitchell is finally able to get to know the woman who has haunted his dreams. 

Ms. Nash has penned a fascinating tale of a woman finally giving in to temptation.  While being an explicitly sexual story that draws the reader in, an underlying romantic tone keeps them there with the hopes of their sexual experimentation leading to something more meaningful.  The tenderness and consideration that Mitchell displays towards Elise when he is trying desperately to gain her trust is touching.  It is stirring to witness a woman who is so confident and independent wrestle with her inner desire to give all control over to a man she barely knows because of the chemistry between them.   

THE MASTER’S PRIZE has a fairly detailed depiction of how Mitch introduces Elise to being a sub to his dom.  Seeing Elise being taken through this training phase makes it understandable as to why Elise is so willing a participant for Mitchell. 

THE MASTER’S PRIZE is a good book by a good author and this reviewer will be looking forward to reading more of Ms. Nash’s works
