Other than wanting to kick Sam to the curb periodically, I thoroughly enjoyed this story and was happy to return to the Doms of Genesis. ~ Shadow, Guilty Pleasures
Description:
How far would you go for love? Would you strip away your defenses? Confront your fears? Unlock your darkest secrets? Risk your heart without any promise of tomorrow?
I, Cindy Noland, ER Nurse have fallen crazy-in-love with sinfully sexy Dr. Samuel Brooks, only to discover he’s been hiding a kinky alter ego: Master Sam. Confronting him tossed me into a mysterious new world that incited my every fear, made my heart race, and left me questioning everything I knew about myself. Now I have only two options: gather the pieces of my heart and walk away, or lay my soul bare to venture into the sensual unknown with a man who’s heart might never be mine?
Just how far would I go for love?
Review copy provided for an honest review
This was an emotional rollercoaster of a book. It starts with Cindi, an ER nurse, believing her 
boyfriend, Sam, a physician in the same hospital, is cheating on her. When she confronts him, what she finds is almost worse-Sam is a Dom and wants Cindi to discover the submissive inside her.
But Cindi has severe trust issues and the entire idea of BDSM horrifies her. Her preconceptions of the submissive being a doormat mean she would no longer be the independent woman she considers herself to be. But she truly loves Sam and is torn between her desire to please him and her fears of losing herself to the lifestyle. Can she overcome her terror to have a relationship with Sam?
While Cindi is of mixed race, her heritage plays little part in this story. Her relationship with her parents, however, is crucial to her feelings. She has had to put up with them belittling her choices in everything, but particularly her job as a nurse. She was a likable and sympathetic character.
Sam, on the other hand, was not so sympathetic. After learning of her background, he promised patience and moving slowly, he was neither patient, nor slow moving; and bailed on the relationship at a critical moment. Cindi had to do all the bending to make the relationship happen, and I personally didn’t find Sam worth the effort other than looking good.
While there is some BDSM in the book, there is little explicit activity—this is a book that relies more on the story than sex.
Other than wanting to kick Sam to the curb periodically, I thoroughly enjoyed this story and was happy to return to the Doms of Genesis.
