This is the third book in a series featuring the denizens of Restrained Fantasies, the kind of, well, fantasy BDSM club common to
this genre.
It's helpful to have read sitelinkReading His Submissive, the book in which the main characters first met.
I do want to warn potential readers that the h was a victim of domestic violence, which we read about in flashbacks.
I've read all three and have to be honest and say that this was my least favorite.
I will say that if you're looking for consensual, mild erotica featuring likeable characters and underpinned by some story, you will enjoy this.
As always, I commend the author for depicting strong subs and doms who appreciate that strength her facility with dialogue and competent writing and editing and the SSC of her BDSM scenes.
That said, this author's plots tend to be OTT and while I understand and prefer that stories with some substance anchor the kink, Ms.
Evans piles on the drama so much that it becomes ludicrous, In this case, Jeff not only is so incredibly abusive that it boggles the mind that no hospital ever called the police, but also .
Finally, there are too many coincidences .
Finally, I find the title offensive since it trivializes domestic abuse and also makes it seem as though the H is the one doing the battering.
/stars. The ending indicates that there will be a fourth book, which I think will feature .
Finally, if you want to read this, I strongly suggest being careful of some reviews on here since some have left spoilers.
This book has captivated me from the beginning until its end, ABUSE, MANIPULATION, MURDER are powerful actions which lead to Powerful EMOTIONS AND ACTIONS! This story will take you through all of it.
Youll feel the strengths and weaknesses of ALL CHARACTERS but mostly the main characters Maddox and Kat and discover that the most powerful weapon a human being can possess to overcome any life threatening issues in life is “unconditional love”.
When youre able to feel that kind of love for someone else, you become INVISIBLE, youre strength , determination, perseverance will get you the results you seek.
This book is a DEFINITE read!

Touching
A sweet, suspenseful story of a very battered woman finding a second chance at love.
Kat and her Sir are great characters with a ton of chemistry, I loved how kink is portrayed as a healing force that helps Kat rediscover her inner strength and agency.
Great secondary characters, too, and I very much hope Kirkland gets his own book,
The story lost a star for me because of the pacing, which felt off, I put the book down several times and read something else before going back and finishing it.
It is an engaging story, just not pageturning, Recommended and I will look for other books by this author, This is a tightly written tale of abuse and healing, The writer's tone carries the reader through the action, suspense, and human connection without hesitation and with care without getting caught up in the subject.
This is my first by this writer, but I've enjoyed the journey she's led me on, so I'll look for more.
I'll also be recommending to those friends who'd like a clean read about a rough subject,

I've only read a handful of Brandi Evans books in the past, but This book made me ask why I haven't read more! This book is a well developed, fast paced read, full of twists, turns, action, suspense, and steamy, steamy fun.
Maddox, a cop and dom, helped Kat escape her abusive husband, but never forgot her when she was placed in protective custody.
When her abusive ex finds her and kidnaps her again, she escapes and ends up with Maddox again.
He thinks his need to dominate a submissive in the bedroom will never be able to happen with Kat's abusive history.
But Kat is a submissive and trusts Maddox to be her dom, Kat is no pushover and will do everything in her power to protect the man and the people she loves.
The power exchange is well written, the relationship is compelling, and the book a page turner from start to finish.
Now to go back and read the firstbooks in the Restrained Fantasies series! Great Read
