OMG, I absolutely loved this story, the characters, and the interaction. Ms. Stevie MacFarlane has a way of telling a story that keeps the pages turning from beginning to end. So many elements including mystery, suspense, undercover work, kidnap and rescue, power exchange and romance.
Joy Bradley graduated college and accepted a job as a forensic accountant working for John Barrows and in the course of her job she will find discrepancies. Not sure who she can trust, she will take the matter directly to Mr. Barrows, and that is where she will jump from the frying pan into the fire.
J. R. Everly works security in the Barrows household, but he is a man wearing many different hats. He will watch Joy on security cameras and shocked when he sees her trying to leave the grounds. He has to move quickly to apprehend her in a rescue attempt, but she won’t see it that way.
The story has several people working in an undercover operation but must play the role as part of John Barrows employees and witness cruel behavior by John to Joy. She trusted him, and he has basically made her a prisoner in his home. A man with a violent temper who has sadistic tendencies, it won’t take Joy long to realize that his violence towards her is escalating and she must find a way to escape.
“It was simply his way of branding her, ‘Property of John Barrows.’”
“You really are very naïve aren’t you? It’s not an act as I first thought. In a way, that makes things far more interesting. I look forward to showing you that you are not the princess in the tower and I am not the shining knight on a white horse. In fact, I’m just the opposite. I will be obeyed, my frightened little bird. I can feel your heartbeat, the pulse in your neck throbbing in time to the fear you are feeling.”
Jay will have to break cover to protect Joy, and he is so angry with her and what she risked by trying to escape. Now, not only is she in jeopardy, but he and his partner must escape. Getting Joy to understand the danger they are in will come with some harsh words and punishment. It doesn’t take him long to learn she is resourceful, even if she is impulsive in her actions. Taking her to his ranch will bring these two closer and into a relationship.
“It was too much. This man had stepped right out of her dreams, or maybe they were nightmares, but either way, she felt compelled to obey him.”
Jay is ready to retire from his life of undercover work, and now the agency wants Joy. Once again, she will do things without discussing them with Jay first, but this time, she is his wife. Living a full-time D/s lifestyle with discipline will having her in trouble often, but when the agency crosses the line with her and her safety, Jay must take action.
The story has action, adventure, danger, and dominance and includes kidnapping and coercion.
The chemistry between Jay and Joy is explosive, and she accepts his dominance and discipline. There are a few dark, edgy scenes with John Barrows that are non-consensual, violent, and sadistic, with Joy as a victim. With Jay, he is a powerful dominant man who is strict but never violent, firm in his discipline, but also loving.
