Boss of Her

Anna Stone's latest book is stand-alone and the first in a series that I expect will feature 4 stand-alone novels. Each book will probably focus on another partner in the group of owners of the sapphic kinky nightclub - Club Velvet. As is often the case with Stone's book, the plot introduces an inexperienced submissive young woman and a jaded, very experienced, dominant older woman (in this case she's only in her 30's). As often is the case, there's chemistry, the younger woman discovers her sexuality with the help of the older woman, and from one kinky session to another their feelings for each other deepen. You can call it a pattern, or a trope, a recurring theme, or whatever. However, let me point out that despite the (many) similarities, each and every one of Stone's books presents the same idea in a different light, depicting the characters with different backgrounds that offer different obstacles in the relationship. Stone doesn't fall into the cliche of an author who recreates the same story again and again. Rather, she presents us, her readers, with a recurring opportunity to learn more about the world of kink and to gain more understanding and insight into the intricacies and delicacies of a kinky relationship. While not all her stories present an introductory level of BDSM, many of them do, and by that Stone is doing the kink community a great service. She presents respect, mutual consent, attentive partners, immaculate aftercare, and overall a very attractive…

I'm glad they were able to open their hearts to each other and truly be together. That ending was fabulous! What a scene to end this fabulous story.

Here’s the thing about writing reviews. I sometimes feel that I keep writing the same thing. But what I try to express is whether I enjoyed the story. If I felt the characters had chemistry. If the dialogue and narrative held my interest. If the scenes flowed and moved the story on at a good pace. If not, I typically make notes along the way. When I finished this story, as I have with a few other books, I found that I had not made one comment. You know why? Because I enjoyed the characters, the dialogue, the narrative and the storyline. No spoilers from me, remember. But I will sneak in a comment about the sex scenes—hot! I loved the power dynamic and play scenes. I also need a day or so to recover from a story that held me hostage, in a good way. Just sayin’.

The story has a great balance of spice and story. The characters are well developed. It has great ups and down throughout. Well worth the read.

I have been a hard core Anna Stone fan from the first book I read by her...Behind Closed Doors....then I picked up Being Hers the first of the Irresistible Bound series! I fell in love with Vanessa and Mel so deeply I couldn't stop falling deeper in the world that Anna created with her Liliths Den ladies! I devoured her next Mistresses Series even more so then the first. When she told me she was moving to LA with a new set of Ladies I was excited to see what she was going to do and I have to say Club Velvet is even more alluring then Liliths Den and this new set of Ladies I love them all already!!! Simone is even more alluring then Camilla was for me and I fell hard for Camilla! I love that she was straight to protective with Jade from the start but not overly so. Simone is sweet and demanding and just perfection rolled into the perfect package and just what Jade needed! Both were afraid of falling and giving up that trust and vulnerability of falling in love because of past wrongs and being shown how devastating it can be when its given to the wrong person. The way they handled it just broke my heart for the slight misunderstanding that could have been avoided by trusting each other. But once again Anna has brought fourth just the right conflict for our ladies to get through while also building their characters to a level of complete understanding that only she can do. I love Jade and Simone and can't wait for hopefully Valerie with her Nanny next **fingers crossed** and…
