Review: Brokered Submission – Claire Thompson

Dylan steers clear of vanilla girls, preferring to find his play partners in the BDSM scene. But something about Zoë Stamos whispers to the Dom inside him. As they work together on a complex multi-million dollar investment deal, it is all too easy to imagine her naked and bound, skin glistening with sweat, her hair wild about her face. He can almost hear her breathy cries as he cracks a whip behind her, letting its sharp tip flick over her skin…

When a key investor pulls out of a deal Zoë hoped would make her career, Dylan Hart offers to step in and cover the six million dollar shortfall, but his terms are like nothing she’s ever heard before. “You will spend the next forty-eight hours as my sexual slave. You will be confined to my basement dungeon, and you will be subject to my every sensual whim and erotic torture.”

Zoë, who has a secret cache of dark, edgy erotic romances in her library, never dreams she’d be offered the chance to step right into the pages of one. Fantasy is one thing, real life erotic submission is quite another! But Dylan is waiting for her answer, his self-assured arrogance and intense sexual allure nearly too much for Zoë to handle. Her heart is hammering in her chest, and it’s hard to catch her breath.

“So,” he says, “do we have a deal?”

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Zoe Stamos is looking to broker her first multi-million dollar investment only for one of the investors to fall though.  Dylan agrees to fill the spot if she spends the weekend with him.  Zoe seems to like to take risks so she is willing to give this a try.

Dylan Hart is a Dom who while working with Zoe also trains submissive.  He sees something below the surface and when he gets an opportunity, he jumps on it.  Dylan enters in to this arraignment not expecting his heart ot be on the line.

The connection between Dylan and Zoe is intense.  It was easy to see that Dylan cared for Zoe but Zoe’s feelings were very discombobulated.  She entered this arraignment with a clear understanding that it was all physical to achieve a goal only to have her heart enter in.  The sex scenes were very hot and intense.  Dylan pushed Zoe right from the beginning.  Almost too fast.  The one thing I don’t get his how easy he is with letting others play with Zoe.

I found this book well written with a unique plot. I enjoyed the darker erotica even though it pushed me out of my comfort zone. The pace of the book is very fast almost too fast. The main characters and the secondary characters were mesmerizing and very lifelike.  While the ending was a little predictable, the journey the book takes the reader is filled with twists and turns that was also a bit predictable. Overall, this was a very captivating book and I hope to see these characters again in the future.
