Blurb from Goodreads: 

Powerful, beautiful, and in control of every aspect of her life, Milly Blake’s success comes from years of hard work, a drive to be better, and the absolute refusal to ever be humiliated again. Romance has taken a backseat and, other than a longing to be reunited with the stranger who saved her, romantic relationships have always seemed too trivial for her tastes. Even Milly’s kinkier pursuits and extracurriculars have been nothing more than another grasp at control to appease her need for dominance.

Ayron Winters is the only person in Milly’s life who sees her obsession with control as just another way of hiding the pain. After witnessing her break, he swore he’d return to her, but for Milly to finally have it all, she has to learn to let go. And for Ayron, that might mean pushing her away.

 My Review:

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to Aurelia Fray*

5/5 stars

Milly Blake likes to be in control of every aspect of her life, especially after she was humiliated by her brother. Milly has never known love and the only time she felt something stir within her was the night the stranger rescued her from the stage.

Ayron Winters, the man that saved Milly, promised that he would come back for her. He intends to keep his word.

Will Milly recognise him?

Will she be able to give up her need for control?

Milly was in some of the previous books in the series (every book can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading them in order for the full experience) and I was intrigued to see what her story would be. I was not disappointed! Emotionally scarred by the events of her past, it's understandable why Milly needed to feel in control all the time.

I liked reading as Milly interacted with other characters that have been in the series like Jane and Penny.

Ayron isn't one of my favourite males in the series but I loved how he bought Milly out of her shell and how caring he was towards her.

The plot was gripping and I couldn't wait to see what would happen between Milly and Ayron.

Another thrilling instalment to one of my favourite series.

Can't wait for the next book!

Extract:

I cleaned myself up and tidied the room before returning to Milly. Knocking, just as I promised, I waited and then entered. Milly sat on the chaise in the exact same position she had started our session in. It was a disconcerting echo, one that made me distinctly unhappy. Was she telling me that she’d learned nothing from our time together? Was she showing me that today meant nothing to her? I walked over to face her and knelt in a supplicant’s stance. That was what I was. A man offering supplication.

“I have a proposal,” I began without really knowing what to say next.

“Go on.”

“I would like to have five more sessions with you before you leave the island.” I watched the light return to her eyes and was relieved to see her so receptive.

“All day sessions?”

“Preferably but I will settle for an afternoon or evening,” I offered quickly, not wanting to offer an arrangement she couldn’t fulfill. Flexibility would be my watchword with Milly. I needed to be constantly on my toes or risk losing the shred of progress we had made.

“Evenings I can do.”

“Fantastic. There is one more thing.”

“Yes?” Milly asked almost breathlessly, I eyed her carefully looking to gauge how she would respond to my next request. Too late, I noticed I was leaning into her, my groin pressed against the hem of her dress. She flushed and awaited my appeal.

“I would like to hold our sessions at a private residence not here at the club.” I knew I was being unfair to offer such a thing. It would make our time together even more intimate and affect her feelings of safety without the recording and DM watching, not that I intended to pursue any danger or kink play.

“I would like that. We can hold the sessions at my villa while my brothers are away,” she offered quickly. I didn’t realize that I was half hoping she would turn me down until she accepted.

I smiled and squeezed her hand. I couldn’t even remember reaching for it. I would have to be mindful from now on. I’d just raised the stakes and it was my responsibility to ensure we both stayed safe.

About The Author:

Author of the Tienimi Club series, Aurelia Fray is the naughty Hyde side of a rather ordinary woman. Whenever her mistress lets her out to play, there are sure to be tales worth telling. She lives and works in London, England, enjoys all things artistic and spends most of her time buried in books or paint.

With a degree in English literature and a love of all things wordy it is no real surprise she adores penning salacious stories. She has won various short story and poetry competitions and suspects that her foray into erotic literature will be a titillating adventure for author and readers alike.
