Welcome to Noble House, Where Your Passion is Our Pleasure, and Someone is Always Watching…
Hacker Madeline Zane gets off crossing lines. So when she discovers security flaws in the Noble House website, she thinks nothing of showing up at the door of the hybrid fetish club and demanding an audience with the owner. Especially after watching an intense online scene of the notorious Dom bringing a submissive to her knees.
Kochran Duke is weary of always being in control, but meeting Maddy rekindles his pleasure in what had become strictly business. And instead of making him jealous, seeing her submit to his old friend Ezra has him aching for something he didn’t even know he was searching for.
The kind of heartbreak Ezra’s lived through changes a man. Maddy makes him crave a life he thought he’d put behind him for good. Watching her with Kochran only fuels his desires, rousing the caged beast within.
Fortunately at Noble House, virtually any fantasy can become reality.
This is a hard one for me to review because I felt differently about so many facets of this book.
As a kinky, erotic novel, this really hits the mark. Noble House is different than any other BDSM club I’ve read about due to the cyber-aspect. Members can watch online, participate in a virtual capacity and satisfy their voyeuristic natures without ever setting foot inside a club. But for those that want to participate in person, the club is a living, breathing place. I thought Maddy, as a gray-hat hacker was the perfect way to bring in a new character, and pairing her up with Kochran, the owner, and Ezra, the resident computer whiz, was natural.
The dynamics of their threesome was also original, with a switch alternating to the extreme, between being a Dominant and a slave, and I loved that it had the M/m aspect in addition to the three of them together. I enjoyed watching Kochran reveal his past and reaching out for exactly what he needed, as well as Ezra finding a relationship again to heal old wounds.
What didn’t work for me was the timelines. I felt that this story did not move in a linear fashion, but was sort of all over the map. The relationships between the different characters moved at an awkward pace; they’d become intimate at first and then seemingly weeks would pass before something happened again. Did everyone just go about their business and fail to bring up the elephant in the room for a while? It also felt weird that Maddy had interactions separately with these two men. It was not cheating because everyone was aware of what was happening, but it seemed odd to me that there was never any discussion about it. It seemed to be three separate pathways that eventually merged, but until the roads became one, it felt kind of disjointed to me.
Overall, however, Sara Brooke’s creation of Noble House is certainly interesting, and her Doms are sexy and authoritative and her books a kinky treat.
