Luke is a silent partner in Marquis as well as the contractor doing the remodeling. While Olivia likes her men submissive, she has problems with Luke being a submissive and her boss. Luke wants to be Olivia's submissive and has let his feelings known. Olivia keeps pushing him away. He comes up with a plan. Olivia thwarts him but eventually cannot stay away nor handle her jealousy of seeing him with other Doms or Dommes. She takes over his training. When a former Baby Dom shows up with ill intent, will Luke be able to protect Olivia? Will she let her sub protect her? Can they deal as boss/employee and Domme/sub?

I enjoyed this book. It was fun. Watching Olivia succumb to Luke's personality and desires was a blast. I could see the push/pull between them. When Olivia is in danger and Luke does his thing, seeing Olivia become just like any other woman was so satisfying. She held nothing back. Luke will get his punishment after. I loved how Olivia's reaction shows she does have a softer side sometimes.

I am loving this series and these characters. I feel like they are friends. ( )

Golden Angel has created a fun and kinky world in her Stronghold Doms series. It's nice to see a whole group of friends who are supportive of each other and their kinks and feelings. Olivia has been one of the members of that group and she's been a stable member of the group and has helped more than one couple get together. There is one way that Olivia stands out from the other women in her group. She's not a sub, she's a Domme.

When some of the guys in her friend group open a new club, Marquis, she's hired in to manage the club part of that. That means she has a lot of contact with Luke, a silent partner and the person who did all the reno work on the building. They are attracted to each, but Olivia is pretty sure that it's not going to work because she thinks he's a dominant person, and she doesn't do dominant guys. When she finds out that he's a sub, then it's even harder to fight off the attraction, but she sees him as her boss, and you just don't play where you work.

I loved this story. It's nice to see a well done F/m story. There aren't as many of them as there are M/f, which is too bad. It's a pretty hot dynamic, and Golden Angel has written a hot and sexy story and a strong love story. Definitely, a great read and I'm glad to have read it. My biggest problem with it? Olivia calls Luke Cupcake and that made me hungry. ( )
