Lucian Bane's inner Dom is out of control and hungry for things he can't name. When he signs up for Dom Wars, he meets Tara who is naive to the BDSM world. Her reckless dominance and puritan heart fascinate him. But when he discovers the pain in her past, it unleashes his true Dom within.

In this start of a great series, we meet Lucian Bane & Tara Reece. They are both competing in the Dom Wars for the chance to become the Ultimate Dom on a reality tv show with a prize of $1,000,000.
They each could use that prize money, but for different reasons.

Tara is quiet, reserved, and yet has a backbone of steel. She is fighting with her submissive side and wants to be the Domme. However, she doesn't come across as showing who she really is until she lets go and submits to Lucian. Then she truly opens up and shows up just who she is, a powerful woman that has been through so much, but has come out the other side and is still sparkling.

Lucian also has his own set of scars that he has internalized. He has a very dominating personality that captures your attention from the beginning, and doesn't let go. Even when he is submitting to Tara in the wars, he still has this aura about him that draws you to him. His past has also shaped who he has become, and when he admits to her why he has the issues & triggers he does, it only makes him much more lovable.

For most people, what these two amazing people have each been through would be debilitating. However, together, these two are stronger. They don't give up, and when the walls come down, it is a gorgeous thing to see.

Lucian Bane and Tara Reese have made it to round two in DOM WARS. The challenges now revolve around trust and while Tara's inhibitions in the world of BDSM are crushed by his passion, her deep rooted fears become the real obstacle he must dominate.

In this book, we see Lucian and Tara competing again, but this time, they are going against other "couples" around the world. They are competing for global Dom-ination (I know tongue in cheek, but I had to do it).

This time, the focus is on their trust & knowledge of each other (yeah, we all need to focus on this in every relationship!!). Without these two things, they stand no chance of getting past this part of the competition. The questions that were asked of them, as well as the answers, were unique and really told a lot about each of these two amazing people.
Some of them had me wondering what they were thinking, and really made me want to make both Lucian & Tara explain to me. One of the questions (actually it was the answer from sassy Tara) had me laughing so hard I had to stop reading. I was hyena laughing and crying, and it took me some time to be able to focus enough to read again.

This isn't your typical romance or BDSM type book to read. They are real people, with real issues and idiosyncrasies. Yet, at the end, I wanted to throw something and scream. I wanted more so badly, that I actually yelled at my phone (it has the reading app) because that could't be all there was.

Personally, I am waiting with baited breathe for book 3.

I'm an Ineffable Dom. That just means, do yourself a favor and please don't try to describe me or fit me into your categories. Complicated Dom, Intricate Dom, Confounding Dom work too.
I love very much the soft side of a woman. Not just her body, but everything on the inside-- her passion, her intelligence, her convictions, her delicate tenderness. But the one fetish that might be a part of what makes me an Ineffable Dom is that I love her strengths. I love a woman that isn’t afraid to look me in the eyes and say ‘make me’. But I need it to be real, not staged, not pretended. She has to be a fighter at her core the way I’m a Dom at my core. I want an equal that is willing to come hard against me in every sense of the word, exhaust me. I want her so deep inside me that we’re lost in each other. I want her to never doubt that I will always use my power to adore her, protect her, liberate her. I don’t want a woman I can break, or overpower, or exercise my dominance over, I want a woman I can come undone with. I want a woman I can jump off the cliff with into that abyss of holy hell, this is beyond me, beyond my control. The greatest fear of most people is losing themselves or unravelling their roots. My greatest fear is not finding a woman I can take that plunge with. Yes, it’s a huge risk. That’s the yin and the yang of it. And while the risk titillates my Dom, it’s the ineffable fruit of that risk that moves him. He knows he has to have it. He knows he’s supposed to have. And he’s prepared to dominate for it.
I think there are many men like myself, and I hope my writing will be a map for them. A map for women as well, to let them know Doms like this exist. I’d like to call them out of the woodwork. Help men join with their natural inner Doms in a way that I think is one of the most fulfilling experiences there are. I want to challenge them all to go for the complete power exchange with a woman, but don’t be a coward and not give the same that they demand or expect. And consider that when you give one hundred percent of yourself to a person, there is no more of you to give away. You now belong to them the way they belong to you.
Inner Doms are dogs that need a master to train them. I once bowed to my Dom's reckless and tireless desires, but when I gained control, he bowed to my will. The transformation made me into what I am today. What many would call an Ineffable Dom. But its equal term in the Vanilla world, in my opinion, is a real man.

Cursed Synopsis
In an effort to escape a lifetime of bad luck and worse decisions, Luke decided to take a giant risk and leave Los Hermanos in his past where they belonged. Unfortunately, Los Hermanos took the saying "blood in, blood out" VERY seriously.
When his long lost foster sister and her new boyfriend show up at his hospital bed willing to commit felonies in an effort to commit felonies in an effort to get him out of his guarded hospital room, he suddenly finds himself burdened with the fact that his actions had now brought innocent people into a firefight that he had tried to avoid all together.
As he struggles to push the only family he has left to a safe distance, a heavy sense of dread settles in around him and every instinct he has tells him that something far worse than Los Hermanos is coming.
Pushing them away and sacrificing himself seems to be his only option, but Sarah and Makkar have other plans. For better or worse, they intend on being there to the very end.
The very. Bitter. End.

Blessed Synopsis
Her twenty-first birthday was supposed to be the beginning of a new chapter. She had been preparing herself for the moment she would be a real adult for months.
There was no way she could have prepared herself for what happened instead.
As her nightmares became more real with each night and her behavior became less like her own, Ardra fought to stay on the path she had so painstakingly planned for herself with very little success.
When she becomes the owner of a creepily-human dog named Kaiser, she finds herself oddly at peace with the unexpected addition to her household and clings tightly to him when tragedy strikes and shatters her world.
As she fights to put the pieces back together without losing herself in the Darkness that is building inside of her with each terrible step off of her path, a rag-tag band of supporters rally behind her. Each one of them prepared to go to the ends of the earth and back.
She must find a way to defeat the Chaos that has consumed her life or risk losing everyone and everything that she has left. Including her soul.
