Cover: Kozzi/Skye Maddox
Synopsis:
Alyssia continues her challenges as manager of The
Pyramid Club. A known establishment among elite clientele and her second home.
She's made her mark in the business world and often referred to as
"Boss". That serving title didn't come easy and Julio Santiago only adds
to the challenge. Alyssia’s time is consumed by her boyfriend even more-so when
she dominates him in the bedroom. This is the only place Julio renders control
and Alyssia calls the shots. Not everything is always smooth sailing. Just when
they both finely complement each other they are pulled apart by the struggles
that endanger the same people they love. Can Alyssia finally ascend into her
power throne or will Julio turn the tables causing Alyssia to slam the breaks
on their fast track relationship.

Excerpt:
“You should shower
and relax. I have emails to answer then I’ll come to bed.” I opened my laptop
climbing on my settee watching Julio go into the bathroom.
“Hey, are you still
angry with me?” Julio stood glistening with a dew from his shower and a towel
wrapped low in his hips.
“I don’t know. I
don’t want to think about it anymore if that’s alright with you?” Already
finished with work I climbed into bed surprised my body had been pulled to the
edge of the bed. Julio pinned me with his weight assaulting me with kisses.
My anger subsided
leaving me more with hurt pride than anything else. I didn’t appreciate being
treated like a glass princess. I had my childhood memories for that.
“I think you deserve
to be punished for your disappearance today. You forget I am strong, confident
and most of all, the one in control of my life.” I used my legs to push him off
me and sank to the floor pulling a velvet box from under the bed.
“What are you doing?
Where did you get that from?’ Julio’s eyes bulged studying the velvet box he
immediately recognized.
“I took it from your
private suite at The Pyramid. You spend so much time here I’m afraid my scarves
and belts won’t be enough. Assume the position and don’t make me ask twice.”
The whole night he
moaned from pleasure only I could give him.
“Morning Querida. Can
you please free my hands?” Julio looked even sexier with his hands bound and
ruffled hair. He’d paid for his deception and took his punishment well or
enjoyed it in this case.
I straddled him
looking into his beautiful blue eyes catching his smile pull up at the corner
of his mouth. I kissed his lips softly lingering just long enough to make him
gasp. I worked the knots of the velvet rope around his hands slowly rubbing at
his wrists. He grunted the moment they were free and flipped me, pinning me
under him. He brushed my hair off my face lightly touching my face with the
pads of his fingertips. I bit my lower lip studying this strong gorgeous man
above me. I traced my finger across his forehead, down his cheek and across his
jaw. We kissed and caressed each other with just as much intimacy as if we’d
made love.
“I am late for work
and need a shower. Are you staying in?” Julio sat sitting me in his lap.
“I am. I have a lunch
date with Natasha and Nicolas. They are meeting his parents for dinner tonight.
I’m not sure why I was asked to lunch and I couldn’t say ‘No’ either. I will
let you know how it goes. Share the shower?” He scooped me into his arms
carrying me to the bathroom.
The Experiment
I read The Experiment to get up to date for the blog tour for Ascendance (Book 2) in the Pyramid of Dommes Series. The blurb caught my attention and I couldn't wait to start it.
At only 125 pages I had a really hard time getting through it.
The premise was great, the blurb awesome.
I honestly believe with a good edit this would have been a better read for me. There were characters that had no real reason to be there, circumstances that were expounded on that didn't need it (as far as I can tell-this being only book 1 in a series) and things that I think should have been more important that were seemingly swept away.
I tried really hard to connect with either character and I just couldn't.
Julio came across as a possessive businessman, which he is, but when it comes to the bedroom he seems like a dom, but then turns into a sub enjoying being whipped, flogged, spanked, but then when it comes to the actual sex he turns back into some super dom.
Alyssia's character is all over the place. There is no real character to her . She goes from timid and upset to furious and bossy then to I need you to F**k me now... all in the span of 2 sentences.
I really wanted to quit reading...but I just can't bring myself to do that. I always wonder what I may miss.
I felt more connected to Ryan and he was my favorite character in the book...but he had his own issues.
I'm off to start Ascendance because I'm supposed to...hopefully it's a little more put together than The Experiment was.
The Ascendance
Ok. I started Ascendance (fyi it started as chapter 13 instead of 1) and I can't do it. I was hoping that the writing would have been edited a little more, the run-on sentences would have stopped and perhaps there would have been a little clearer characterization of Alyssia. I'm going to call it quits...It's the holiday season and my time is really more important than finishing at this point.
