The two will set out on an adventure of pain and pleasure surrounded by Alaskan snow-capped mountains and nestled in a warm country lodge.

Excerpt: Chapter 1 Teaser
Taryn signs up with Madame Eve's 1Night Stand service for one night of 'no strings attached' pleasure, she hasn't had sex since her ex-boyfriend broke her heart and left her, so it's time to break her dry streak.
Blake handpicked Taryn from Madame Eve's list, his reason much deeper than just being her Dom for the night, he's looking for something else, something he once had but was idiot enough to loose.
Kennedy starts this novella with both guns blazing, and not being a regular BDSM reader ( in fact this is only my second book in the genre ) I was bit taken back, but it soon turned to a proper story with Blake having set the whole thing up to get a second chance. Which I loved! I like guys to be a little sneaky about getting what they want.
This novella is part of "Madame Eve's 1NightStand Holiday Anthology" with the following stories: Cerise DeLand ~ Santa, Cutie, Desiree Holt ~ He Came Upon a Midnight Clear, D.L. Jackson ~ This Endris Night, Rebecca Royce ~ I'll be Mated for Christmas, Liia Ann White ~ Her First White Christmas and Clarissa Yip ~ Silent Night’s Seduction. Stay tuned this week for the reviews on the novella you see above in bold italic.
Not much Christmas decorations in this, it's pretty much, snowy cabin and then they get it on. Very much to the point. ;)
What I liked about this was the tension and emotions between Blake and Taryn when she figures out just what's been going on behind her back / blindfold. This story has a sweet undertone, with Blake willing to do anything to fix what was broken.
If you don't mind some serious spanking and toys then you might like this. But like the warning says, if you're not into BDSM then this novella isn't for you.
