GIVING IT UP is the first in a new series, Pushing the
Boundaries, by Audra North with a different take on BDSM.
Beatrice Lawrence is the photographer for her
friends' wedding, and she has some very heated desires for one of
the men in the wedding party, Warren Davis. For reasons unknown to
her,
he seems to have a strong dislike for her and seems to go to
great length to ruin every shot by avoiding any effort she
makes to get his picture. Beatrice is determined that he will
not ruin her biggest photography job so when he dodges her
to make a phone call she follows him. S.W.A.T. officer Warren Davis does not have a strong dislike to
Beatrice like she thinks, but he really has some dark desires
for her. Because of all of his obligations,
there is no room in his life for any kind of
relationship. As far as Warren is concerned, Beatrice is too
innocent for the type of desires he has, but he is totally
floored when Beatrice hears his phone conversation with a
professional Domme and suggests he hire her instead. GIVING IT UP is a different type of BDSM novel from the others I
have
read. The Dommes usually are male, but in GIVING IT UP, Beatrice is
a wanna-be Domme
who does research to figure out what her Sub needs. I am looking
forward to the next book to see what direction Pushing the
Boundaries takes. Beatrice is totally out of her element but is willing to do
whatever Warren needs. She puts her feelings on the line to
show Warren she wants more with him. Warren has taken on
so many family obligations and has never provided time for
himself. The one relationship he had fell apart when a family
crisis happened, and after that he decides he does not have
room in life for anything permanent. Even though Beatrice is
willing to step out of her comfort zone, she is reluctant when
is comes to her career decisions. Both Beatrice and Warren will learn lessons in pursuing and
following through on their desires. They both learn that
Pushing the Boundaries leads to a much desired world where
giving up control is quite fulfilling. GIVING IT UP is a story
about
realizing your self worth, trust, and giving up control.
SUMMARY
She dominates his body and his mind…but can he give up
control without handing over his heart? Pushing the Boundaries, Book 1 If Beatrice Lawrence didn’t know better, she’d swear the
universe is out to make sure she is totally, completely
screwed. It’s not enough her family’s restrictive rules
drove her away from home at a young age. She had to go and
fall for a guy whose mere presence heats her body like
Death
Valley. Except he seems to harbor a special brand of dislike, just
for her. He even seems intent on ruining one of her biggest
wedding photography gigs by dodging every key shot to make
a
phone call. It’s not that SWAT officer Warren Davis isn’t attracted to
Beatrice. He is. God, he is. But between supporting his
parents and helping raise his single-mom sister’s kid,
there’s no time to build a relationship. Besides, Beatrice is too innocent for some of his
darker…appetites. Until she catches him on the phone with a
professional Domme. He must be crazy to let her talk him
into hiring her instead. Even crazier to risk letting their
professional relationship get personal… Warning: Contains an out-of-her-element, wannabe Domme who
has no idea the power she wields, and a SWAT officer who
can’t wait to show her just how deeply he needs her
command.
Buckle up and keep your safeword handy.
