Good story line, good build up and interesting characters. I hate cliffhangers, but luckily I got this one after the second book had already been released so I was able to read both together.

This is book 1 of the Dominant Heroes duology and it is quite an interesting story. It's the old famous, rich girl in need of protection, dark alpha male offering said protection story, only with a twist.

Lola is pretty innocent, doing what she needs to all the time, but she needs to escape, she wants to be on her own, without the watchful eyes of her security detail. She finds herself being "hunted" by Nolan, fixer and dominant alpha male, and being brought back home. On the way home though she gives him hell, he retaliates, she submits, he falls for her. The thing I liked about this book was that it didn't jump right to sex, it allowed the attraction between Lola and Nolan to grow.

It was interesting to see Lola going from hell-bent on rebelling to submitting so beautifully to Nolan, even though she didn't know anything really about submission. What I didn't fully like was the fact that Nolan at times was too harsh, knowing that Lola didn't know the rules of the game. But that is countered by how Lola reacts to his dominance, and how she eventually kind of goads him into punishing her.

The book ends with a cliffhanger, but not to worry, because you get to see how it all ends in book two. This was a book that, strangely, was a bit out of my comfort zone. I'm not used to reading about total-power-exchange or relationships with so much dominance over every aspect of someone's life, and I was pleasantly surprised.

I usually don’t read these type of romance, read: political romances. However, there was so much suspense and the plot was interesting enough. Normally I would be angry about a novel leaving on such a cliffhanger, but since I already had book 2, I immediately went into the second part. Be warned though, don’t start this novel without getting the second at the same time. I will be highly annoyed otherwise and will miss out in a good story.

I enjoyed the light dom/sub undertones although I wish I had known “southern gentleman” stood sexist alpha male. At some point, it’s just too much.

All in all, it was a an enjoyable suspenseful read.

Wasn't for me, found it too hard to get into the story an characters. Thanks for letting me try your books.

I reviewed this book for my honest opinion. This book is part 1 of a 2 part series. I could not put it down. When Lola sneaks away from the Secret service and Nolan has to retrieve her, sparks fly in more ways than one!
