I liked most of it. But there are some problems.
There are a few editing errors, but not many and they don't really effect the story or the pace at all.
What did slow the story down is repetitive inner thoughts from Lois. That repetition is what caused the low stars for me.

The other problem is where the story ends. It is a Cliffhanger and apparently this continues throughout all 6 books in this series. I'm not fond of cliffhangers & definitely not one that continues through 6 books. BUT, this series has a unique premise and I am very curious as to how everything plays out.

Secret Agent Spies Trained in BDSM? How can you NOT be Intrigued!

The steamy parts truly are erotic & steamy. I liked both Lois and James' characters.
There is a lot of Lois revealed in this book but just a sprinkling of James.

Even though I think it could have been a much faster paced story with the repetition taken out, I am so CURIOUS as to what will happen next that I will continue the series.
I'm hoping the next one will be faster paced with less repetition.

This is the first in a series and my first introduction to this author. There were many aspects of this story that I liked such as the cat and mouse mental game that is going on between the main characters. However, there is somewhat of a disconnect for me between them at the same time. I want to understand more and am hoping that it comes in the future books. I hope more of the reasons why and the backstory comes out as well. Especially, Lois because there is just something there that I want to uncover.

That being said, the story still piqued my interest and I will continue on even more to find out what she is up against and the reasons why.

I read this as part of A Taste of Submission boxset.

Lois wants a certain assignment; to be the one to destroy a notorious sex trafficker. To this end she visits James to learn to be a submissive. This story is steamy and amusing and very educative in the area of BDSM. A great read. ( )

only got thru @ 60% before i gave up -- for the entire time i was reading the book, it felt like i was missing a book that explained some of the characters in the story. As far as i know there is NOT a book before this one.

Nothing wrong with writing or editing, just never got into the story line.

not finishing series. ( )

C P Mandara writes some very intense, very kinky, and very hot stuff. This absolutely fits in that category. I mean oh holy heck, I'm pretty sure there were actual flames coming off my Kindle at more than one point. I really can't wait to see what happens next. ( )
