Once you fully submit, your darkest cravings will…Blossom

The ultra-luxe Black Rose Underground Club used to be Mary Sandusky’s favorite place to play. She was happy to slip into her role as seasoned submissive Blossom and relinquish control to an expert Dom. But when a scene gets out of hand, she can no longer trust her own dark appetites. She’s ready to walk away from Black Rose for good…until she meets a hot Highlander who pushes all the right buttons.

Nothing makes Ronan O’Connor’s blood heat more than commanding a submissive in a scene, but forming a relationship outside the club was an urge lost long ago. The closer people get, the more damage they can do. But when he meets the alluring Mary, her beauty—and her obedience—captivate him, and he’s determined to make her his.

Every Dom has firm rules, and Ronan is no exception. So he’ll make her an offer—one that will push her boundaries of pleasure and submission even as it challenges the line that separates Mary and Blossom. But neither of them is prepared for where his plans take them…

•••••

REVIEW:Blossom is the third installment in the Black Rose Sage by the ever-talented Helen Hardt. Like all her other series, this one has me in a frenzy of need for more. Blossom is a spicy BDSM romance filled with drama and suspense. As always, I recommend reading the series in order to get the full effect of the saga, but each book is based on its own couple.

Mary and Ronan are a really angsty couple and Hardt did a great job of incorporating their Dom/Sub relationship and how that can change. Mary is a submissive and Ronan is a Dom, their relationship sounds like it would be pretty cut and dry, but their personalities push back against one another and they both want more. So much more that maybe their Dom/Sub relationship turns into much more.

This book is all leather and love, yes BDSM but the feel of it is more romantic to me. Mary and Ronan are great as a couple, their chemistry and need for each other make them such an interesting read, one that I think HH readers are very much going to enjoy. She does, after all, give some of the best HEA’s.
