The Blurb:
The first rule is obey... and she already broke it.
Francesca "Frankie" De Luca always pays her debts. Even when it means stepping inside Serve, the sensuous Manhattan club that caters to particular adult desires. For Frankie, it's a taste of something she's always wanted—and never received. Until a sharply dressed Brit orders her into his room, and instructs her to undress before delivering the carnal punishment she so desperately needs...
She wasn't the woman Porter Evans was expecting. Not this wild thing with the pale, silvery eyes. And such cheek. But she violates Porter's strict rules of control. Temptation is a dangerous thing indeed. Yet everything about Frankie cries out for schooling about the tantalizing interplay of pleasure and pain. So Porter offers Frankie a deal she can't refuse—and the only thing she owes him is submission...

Whoaaaa. I have just two words to emphasize the best parts of this book: Dirty talk.
I read a lot of romance, but this book impressed me in its ability to make me blush! Porter is a British dom who meets Frankie at Serve when she decides to sneak in and pretend to be a sub for a few minutes. As you do. I had trouble envisioning Porter for awhile. He's dark and dangerous-looking, but I couldn't stop focusing on his WORDS. Oh myyyy.
Frankie shows up at Serve to settle a debt to the owner. While she's there, she just wants to see how she feels about all of this "sub" stuff. Lo and behold, she digs it, and Porter is fascinated by her newfound curiosity and lack of experience. He offers to be her dom for a test-run, and she accepts. These two both have an interesting background that gets explored here and there throughout the story. Porter vacillates back and forth from being sexy as sin and a bit of a douchebag. Frankie, for her part, struggles to give him her trust, and Porter simply doesn't know what to do with it when he has it.
Spoiler Alert:
There is definitely chemistry between the two, but I think what lost me was the speed in which it progresses. They go from being sexually compatible to madly in love to ready to get married and have babies by the end. Porter's behavior towards her while at peak douchebag status should have stalled things for longer than they did. I love an HEA just as much as the next person, but I prefer a believable one. Still a solid story and damn sexy!!!
