Why I Started This Book:

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.  


Summary:

Carter is one of the hottest men ever to walk into Paige Long's coffee shop. The attraction is mutual, and when Carter reveals himself to be a Dom, the submissive in Paige is aroused. Yet she brushes him off—her last relationship was abusive and she's unwilling to get involved with another Dom.

But when Carter returns the next day—in his firefighter uniform—Paige's fantasies really heat up. She can't resist his offer to get to know him over a drink at Mavericks, a local sex club. Their conversation quickly escalates to a session in one of the private rooms, and Paige is both thoroughly satisfied by Carter's skills in domination, and impressed with his selflessness as a lover.

Paige is ready to move on with her life. But can she trust in herself and submit to happiness?

Characters: 

• Paige
• Carter 
• Rick

My Thoughts:

The book start hot with Paige discovering two employes having sex on kitchen of the coffee shop, but that was somewhat good since she had to be barista that night after firing the couple and had her first encounter with Carter. But she thinks nothing about him, and cut his lame attempts off flirting right at start. When Carter comes back the next day and Paige discover he's a firefighter, her mind can't stop the fantasies from poping up. Carter is a Dom and likes to visit Mavericks with his friends, but when one night they stop for a coffee in Pulled Long and he first see Paige, things start to get steamy. 


Carter is sweet in a very Dom way, knowing what to say so Paige can trust him and don't pushing to know about the past and and why she stopped the scene altogether. 


Rick is a ghost from the past, and showing up changes everything especially after the way he treated Paige on the coffee shop, someone needs to tell him that treatning people will get him nowhere. But there's always Carter, Paige knight in shining armor to save her from the bad Rick, who finnaly take a hint.


The sex scenes are very hot, who would thought about peas on the first place? Only Carter, that guy has a very good imagination. 


I gave it three starts because I don't really agreed with the time on their relationship, especially considering how much Paige has suffered previosly. 


Also I know the series is only about the three brothers, but I wish Cristine could make a book about Josh, cause he really is a sweet pea. He deserves a nice submissive girl for him to call it mine. 

Next book is about Ian and Blue Eyes, can't wait for it.
