After the death of her Master, Caitlin Bennett discovers years of abuse and sadistic cruelty at his hands have made her a slave to pain. To reach her peak, Cait needs the type of extreme agony few responsible Doms are willing to dole out, especially Doms like Paul Nelson. Willing to offer the love she craves, Paul’s nearly perfect—except for his aversion to the whip.


Paul refuses to hurt Cait, instead attempting to recondition her through patience and trust. But the longer Cait suffers from lack of sexual release, the more she’s convinced her mind and body are irrevocably programmed. And time to convince her otherwise is running out. Waiting in the wings is a newbie Dom who’s determined to have Cait for his own…who’s learning the whip just for her.


Caitlin will soon have to choose—the man who can give her what she wants? Or the man who can give her what she needs?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

If someone told a young Sayara St. Clair that one day she would be an erotic/paranormal-romance-writing Aussie expat living in Thailand, she would have snort-laughed and yelled, “You. Be. Crazy!”

If someone told her the same thing now, she would not yell, only nod solemnly. Because that actually happened.

Sayara has a science degree, with majors in both microbiology and biochemistry. Working in the fields of serology and tissue banking, she got to do lots of cool and sometimes slightly weird stuff. She was employed as the manager/buyer for furniture retail stores, where she had a chance to unleash her inner interior decorator. (Interior design is one of her great passions.) And for a time, she taught English to students in Asia. (Hanging about in a roomful of extremely loud, pint-sized humans is NOT one of her great passions.) She has written ads for TV, print and radio; real estate brochures; website copy; and a screenplay. Now she’s writing fiction and has discovered it’s her favorite thing to do. She’s also learned that writing sultry romances is so much more fun than writing dry old scientific journal articles. No one has sex in scientific journal articles. Not the ones she wrote anyway.

When not writing, she may be most commonly found in a horizontal position reading, in the kitchen baking, in the garden planting, or somewhere else singing at the top of her lungs. She loves music and is prone to spontaneous bouts of dancing.

With regards to vampires and chocolate: she bites one on a daily basis and has had a lifelong obsession with the other. And she’s not telling which one’s which.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Written Love Story!
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2019

In "Hurt Me, Heal Me", Sayara St. Clair begins the Dante’s Purgatory Series. My headline says “Beautifully Written Love Story” for a reason. I’ll be the first to admit that, judging by her cover art and excerpts alone, I fully expected (and maybe was looking for) a novel full of sultry tales. The idea of a female author only added to my initial excitement.
But I was wrong- dead wrong.
Well, maybe not completely wrong. There are PLENTY of red-hot descriptive scenes… and if you can sit still while reading, and imagining these parts, you’re a better man/person than I. There are also well-placed expletives peppered throughout, which only fuel the sizzling fires burning. St. Clair then one-up’s every expectation. She goes the extra– and perhaps the most difficult mile– in turning all of the unbridled desire and lust of one-night stands and bondage into a love story, one of enviable proportion.
St. Clair has used a hashtag of EroticRomance, and the first couple times I saw it, I thought maybe she was just trying to re-brand herself. As it happens, I had her style wrong all along. A scientist by trade, Sayara dissects a love affair between Caitlin and Paul after the death of her first “Master”– Ivan. St. Claire lays bare and writes frankly about the abuse, physical and emotional, which Caitlin suffered at the hands of Ivan. After his death, Caitlin ventures into Dante’s Purgatory Club, she is expecting to find a new Dom. Instead, she bumps into Paul– what follows next?
The reader will try to keep up as Paul and Caitlin chase each other, figuring out what does and doesn’t work, and finding out how their pasts will affect their future. Along the way, it is clear that while Caitlin still thinks she needs pain, pleasure, and bondage; what she truly yearns for is a healing from her past, and love– she just doesn’t know it yet. All the while, St. Clair is working to weave the casual, down and dirty approach to a BDSM storyline into a “flip-side of the coin” example of new found, innocent, and blossoming love.
Instead of being one to hurt Caitlin, Paul turns out to be the one who is able to heal her. Paul is her every man, her only true love. Together, they work towards leaving their past lives of hurt behind and in living to heal the broken spirit.
Need more details??? BUY the Book!
5 Stars- I would recommend to anyone… I’ll also buy the rest of the series!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dazzling Story of Love and Desire
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2017
Verified Purchase
An incredible voyage into the life of a woman who was taught, and believed, she could only love a man one way. But everything changed when Paul entered her life.

Caitlin is a young woman, tormented by a brutal man she once trusted, only to become emotionally and physically abused by him. On the outside she's a successful businesswoman. On the inside she's yearning for love and sexual fulfillment the only way she knows. When her dominant lover dies, she finds herself alone and frightened.

She meets a man who tries to be her friend, but cannot provide her with the type of love she needs. And then she meets Paul. He is everything she could hope for, except for the one thing she needs most of all. Paul wines and dines her, makes her feel good again. But when their lives become more intimate, Paul soon realizes he has much work to do to gain this woman's trust...and love.

'Hurt me, Heal Me' is a dazzling book of erotica. It is both intense, and tender. It leaves you feeling sorry for Caitlin struggling to learn how to love a good man, and then soaring as their relationship grows. It is a book which is inspiring by love, and arousal by nature.

I rarely read this type of book, and I can't quite say what it was that had me buying it to begin with. I was expecting it to be much more about BDSM and was surprised to find a gripping and rather emotional read about a young woman who struggles to find herself after having been vilely abused by a much older man. Great prose, good dialogue and two charming protagonists - what more can on ask for?

5.0 out of 5 stars Intense --- Sizzling Hot!
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2018

This first book is amazingly written, brilliant actually. Caitlan, my, my little Caitlan, how she really developed over the chapters. It was like I was growing up right next to her, feeling her pain, emotional and physical. Loving who she loved and hating who she hated. I felt it all and that is credit to the writer for having such a profound way of writing that you feel like as if the character is you.

Watching the love of Paul and Caitlan was energizing, passionate, steaming hot and oh so beautiful. Intense and held a lot of Oohh's and Aahh's moments, that kept you on the edge of your seat.

Forget any other BDSM out there, this is the one, the only one you’ll ever need. It has the Plus-Factor. What that means is that it holds everything, erotica, love, pain, hot, hot sex, and the story, which is a rare to find in such stories. Yet the author has mastered this, given us a story that really tells a tale unlike any other.

When all you’ve ever known of ‘love’ has been pain. When the only way you were allowed to be satisfied was by being hurt so bad you bleed. When your master rejects you, then dies, how do you find your way to ‘normal’, to love? Hurt Me, Heal Me is one woman’s journey from terrible abuse to? Sayara St. Clair has crafted a deep, emotional tale of one woman’s journey from hell to...you have to read it to find out. Move over Christian Grey, Caitlin Bennett is here to stay.

I love Dark Erotic stories- I read a sample of this book a few months ago, but didn't buy it as I thought it was a bit expensive for the length of the story. Anyway I gave in and bought it this morning.
After reading the sample I thought it would be a dark read- but it was more of a romance. It had some darkness but Mostly it was Caitlin healing and falling in love- and I really enjoyed it. I fell in Love with Paul- what a sweetheart- I assume that as this is book 1 there will be further books about Dante etc in the future- can't wait.
