I'm reviewing The Boss, (Book three in The Donovan Dynasty trilogy) by Sierra Cartwright . Here are my thoughts:

^^ This book features the youngest Donovan brother, Nathan, and the new girl on the scene, Kelsey Lane, an executive assistant and career woman, who knows her own mind. When she decides to go to the Donovan BDSM club, smitten Nathan offers to be her Dom for one week. From here on, sparks ig
nite, passion flares and their relationship deepens. But not in the usual girl meets boy way.

^^ Although I've not read the previous books in this series, however, I do feel Sierra Cartwright does a very good job of introducing me to all the characters in the Donovan family without overwhelming or confusing me, which is great. So why did I jump in at book three? I've never been one to miss out on a good series, and I've heard so much about this author's work, I wanted to check them out. Knowing I've not read all of the series, I do allow a little leeway for this, however, I needn't have worried.

^^ The romance is really believable, as is the sexual chemistry between them as a dominant man with his female submissive. I really enjoyed how they discovered each other, on so many levels; the trust, and their developing bond, blended with the excitement of a new relationship - in a BDSM setting.

Overall: This is a well written, steamy story, where t
he passion between Nathan and Kelsey practically burns holes through the pages. (Or threatens to heat up your e-Reader until it explodes!) Right, now I'm off to check out the previous two books, and get some ice cold water to cool me down... ( )

I read Boss as a stand-alone, not having read the first 2 books in the series. It is for the defcon 3 erotica reader, having plenty of fetish raunch, but nothing too deviant. Unfortunately, I like a little riddle romance mixed in with my fatal attraction and Cartwright's book is missing the kissing. I agree with other reviewers that have said the HEA is wrapped up at a MPH that sets a new land speed record. As the reader, I was disappointed characters developed to be so intelligent in the beginning, were allowed to be squeezed out of the ending like they were nothing more than toothpaste. There was enough substance that I did not use my safeword though ;) ( )

Sierra Cartwright excels in strong female characters with chemistry drawing them to even stronger male figures. Third in the Donovan Dynasty series narrates the workaholic Nathan Donovan and his goal to establish leadership in his latest business takeover. Kelsey Lane has put herself through college and has engaged her skills in upper management. Monday mornings are hard enough even with caffeine to walk into work and find that the company name has been changed and new boss is waiting. Corporate ladder is not the only rung that must be climbed when Nathan and Kelsey fight their attraction for each other with a time limit established for their parting kiss. Erotic scenes that are HOT to the touch. "A copy of this book was provided to me by Totally Bound Publishing and author via Netgalley with no requirements for a review.
