My Rating ~ 4 bites and a nibble out of 5

Tabitha Quinn and Marcus Granger meet in Hawaii and begin a vacation fling. However, before they can really settle in and enjoy the red hot chemistry between them, Marcus is called back to New York on business. Tabitha is left alone to finish out her vacation and since they didn’t exchange numbers when she heads back to New York and her job she tries to forget all about Marcus. Yeah, not happening.

This short story is a good start to the Dominating BDSM Billionaires series, introducing Tabitha and Marcus and the problem he’s having with his family’s company, Granger Pharma. The chemistry between Marcus and Tabitha is off the charts and the sex scenes are smokin’ hot. Plus, they each have some insecurities to work out which adds some sweetness to the heat. The BDSM is light with some spanking, bondage and wax play, so those who aren’t into more extreme BDSM should have no problem with this one. All-in-all a sultry read that leaves me wanting more.

When Marcus Granger is called away from Hawaii back to New York, Tabitha Quinn thinks she’ll never see him again. She's taken by surprise when he shows up at the New York law firm two weeks after she’s back to work following her Hawaii vacation. After apologizing for the abrupt way he left her, Marcus lets it be known that he wants to continue their relationship.  However, when he asks her to sign a D/s contract she hesitates and Marcus takes it the wrong way. Throw in some corporate espionage plaguing Granger Pharma and it’s a wonder Marcus and Tabitha ever get over the choppy seas for smoother sailing.

This story picks up where the novella left off. The characters are appealing and the sex scenes are smoking hot. The relationship was a little too instalove for me, but sometimes that happens in real life, so I just went with it. Other than that this is an awesome read for those who like light BDSM and romance with a little mystery thrown in. Plus, we meet Jonah, brother to Marcus who is a little rougher looking, not so pretty boy/slick dresser and a lot more nerdy. Now, him I totally like, but that’s just me. I love brainy guys.

Jonah Granger is a top notch researcher and brilliant scientist, but he’s clueless how to keep a relationship longer than a few weeks. Dr. Anna Granger, fellow researcher and scientist has wanted Jonah from the moment she worked at Granger Pharma for her internship as a graduate student. The following years have not made her want him less. Now, they have to share a lab while renovations are going on and Anna decides it’s time to see if her longing and wanting are legitimate or just a built up fantasy in her head. When Jonah expresses interest, Anna presses full steam ahead and damn the torpedoes since this may be her only opportunity to see if they have a chance. Even when corporate espionage throws a big fat monkey wrench into the works Jonah and Anna work together to protect Granger Pharma. But will they last the long haul?

Ooooh! I love me a brainy hunky absentminded nerd. Anna and Jonah are great characters and they come to life on the page for me. Their sexual chemistry is off the charts and the sex scenes are smokin’ hot and yet there is more to the story (and them) than hot sex. I love that Jonah hadn’t thought about BDSM until Anna requested it from him. And his approach to the issue was typical of a nerd. Research instead of just asking questions. LOL The espionage plot carries on from the other books and advances with a little more detail. The bad guy or guys are still unknown, but the plot thickens. I’m looking forward to Book 4 and Monica’s story to see how it all plays out.

My Rating ~ 4.5 bites out of 5

When Monica Granger meets a handsome entertaining sexy man at a party she has no idea that he is the son of her father’s biggest competitor and fiercest enemy. The sexual attraction between the two are off the charts, but more than that they really like each other.  After Monica’s father accuses her of helping Coron Health with a hostile takeover Monica is angry and hurt. She doesn’t want to be forced to choose between Ben and family and Ben doesn’t want to come between her and those she loves, but with the espionage escalating someone needs to get to the source of the trouble or they may never have a chance at a happily ever after.

Monica’s story starts at the beginning when she meets Ben and takes us through the first 3 books, all told from her perspective and shows us her relationship with Ben and carries on to the conclusion of the espionage plot. I didn’t feel Ben and Monica’s relationship like I did Jonah and Anna’s. It was more along the lines of Marcus and Tabitha’s, instalove without more substance to back it up. The story is still a good one and it brings all of the lines together from a different viewpoint, so it’s interesting. The sex scenes are smokin’, but then I don’t think Malia Mallory could write a bad sex scene even if she tried. :) All-in-all a satisfying ending to a great series.
