He wants the one thing she can't give.

Curvy ex-submissive Annabella Clayton has no problem taking charge in the boardroom, or the bedroom. But as the future head of a major real estate empire in the small town of Clayton-Moss, she has to keep her life as a Domme under wraps. When greedy land developer Jake Scalder threatens to ruin her father’s business any way he can, she knows her BDSM lifestyle would cause just the kind of scandal he needs. Her only chance to save all that she and her father have built is to team up with gorgeous, relentless lawyer Rock McCarthy. Trouble is, Rock’s also her former Dom, and the man she let walk out of her life six years ago.

While scrambling to expose Scalder’s corruption, their passions reignite, burning hotter than ever. Rock reawakens the hunger for his dominance Annabella’s buried for so long. But while he drives her deeper into his addictive world of rough fantasy, their enemy draws closer to discovering their forbidden secret. Can they take Scalder down before his plans succeed? Or will he destroy Annabella's reputation and tear her and Rock apart forever?

***Contains a BBW heroine who likes filthy talk and being called names in bed, plus a broody lawyer who’s happy to oblige. Also, there are a few mild, brief ravishment scenes that are clearly role-play, but if you have triggers, please do not buy this book. This book is a standalone, which takes place in the small town of Clayton-Moss. Each Clayton-Moss novel features a different couple in the same town. No cliff-hangers, no cheating, HEA.

As a young girl Raven Dark dreamed of being abducted by a savage alien warrior, whisked away by a brutal pirate, or rescued by a cape-bearing hero. When none of these men came to claim her, she brought them to life in her stories. Then twelve years ago she met the man of her dreams. He doesn't wear a cape, fly a spaceship, or wield a sword, but sometimes she swears they've mind melded.

Raven lives with her dream man and their one cat that thinks she's a dog in the Mundane world's version of Ontario, Canada. When she isn't working on her latest erotic romance novels and crafting interesting worlds in which to set them, she's spending too much time with friends, feeding her Youtube addiction, or curled up on a couch watching favorite shows with her future husband.

This is one of the best books I have ever read! I will say it is for 18 and older. It's full of HOT sex, dirty talk, romance and suspense. I have read this book numerous times and it gets better each time! Rock is seriously sexy and my permanent book boyfriend. I would recommend this book to anyone. I can't wait to read book two!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A must read
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2015
This is the first time i have read from this author and it wont be the last, I was lucky enough that i won this book in a competition in return for a review on my honest opinion.

We meet Annabella Clayton she is a strong feisty woman who do will whatever it takes to save her dad's company from the twisted and sleazy land developer Jake Scalder who will not stop till he's destroyed Annabella's dad's business.

Unfortunately they all live in the small town of Clayton-Moss where even if you sneezed people would soon know about it. She has a big secret that would give Jake all the ammunition he needs to tear Annabella and destroy her. Annabella decides to turn to the one person she can trust hot but very ruthless lawyer Rock McCarthy . The problem and the reason why Annabella can trust him is that Rock (Rocky) was her ex dominant but she also let him walk out of her life 6 years ago so what happens when they meet up 6 years later.

They decide to start working together to show everyone how corrupt this sleaze is whilst keeping their BDSM lifestyle under wraps. But as they begin to get closer old passions resurface and reawakens Rocky's dominant side especially when it comes to Annabella. Will they be able to resist the temptation that is brewing or will they let it stay in the past???

Will Jake uncover Rock and Annabella's dark secret or will they be able to tale him down before he leaves both their reputations in shatters

This definitely will not be the last book i will read by this author

I got this book as an ARC in return for an honest review

Ok so here goes.....

I would recommend this book for anyone 18+ who is interested in reading BDSM, HOWEVER I will say, if you have any triggers for example Rough sex, rape play or violence I would suggest you do not read this book...

In this book we meet Ella Clayton, current Domme, former submissive and heir to Clayton Enterprises.
6 years after he left town ex-boyfriend, Ella's former Dom Rock McCarthy is back, right around the time Ella stars getting hassled by Real Estate developer Jake Scalder.

I wasn't really a fan of Ella's sister Shayla, she seemed to me to be very selfish and didn't seem to care for any0one but herself, when she does try to "help" Ella she seemed very condescending and patronising.

The sex scenes were Awesome (YES AWESOME LOL) there was a build up and dirty talk and foreplay. The characters were well made, none of them seemed weak and were all well thought out.

I really enjoyed reading this book, I didn't have any trouble getting into the story as it gets straight to the point.
The story wasn't rushed , I didn't feel like she was trying to throw more and more in there, I also didn't hit any stale, slow, boring parts that I just wanted to skip past. She definitely had me hooked from start to finish.

So we have hot sex, dirty talk, family drama, angst and a race against the clock. All in all a very well written story.

I told the author Raven Dark that I would see her on the other side.... well Raven, here I am and I'm ready for more ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars I was fortunate enough to win an ARC for my honest review
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2015
I was fortunate enough to win an ARC for my honest review. I fell in love! Ella is a very strong female character, which I love. She lives in a small town where everyone knows everyone. She comes from a founding family of the town so she has a certain standard that her family hold her to.

Rock..oh Rock... he is the sexy, leather wearing Dom. He comes from a "lower" class of society. He has went through hell. Two completely different people, but the chemistry is enough to melt your kindle! Ok anyways... Rock left town for a few years, but Ella could never understand why when things seemed to be great between them. When she hears he has come back into town she stops to see him. While he'd been gone he had become a lawyer with a great reputation. As soon as they are in the room together, you know they will end up together.

Ella hires Rock on to try to help her save her father's company from Scalder, a shady businessman. Rock, of course, agrees. Now, they have to find a way to save the company and their relationship.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves BDSM, but beware of certain triggers. Rough sex, rape role play (I didn't think it was too intense, but I also don't have triggers), public sex are all played out. Loved the scenes! Raven Dark knows how to hook you and hold you until you finish the last page! I will definitely be getting the rest of her books!

A great story line and plot with strong characters. Right from the beginning you could feel the connection between Rock and Ella. Only thing is that they have to learn to trust one another again in their relationship. I haven't read to many BDSM books, but I loved this one. I was not disappointed in this HOT story. You can feel the passion and emotions in Raven's writing. I was hooked from the beginning until the end. I can not wait to read the next book.
