This the newest book in the Club Verge books, involving the best sex club in Manhattan. I've loved every one of these books, and am always excited to see what Jane Henry is going to do next. I almost always love her heroes and heroines, even when the Domly types are being uber-Domly. However, I can't really say that about Liam.

Cora is a college student who works 2 jobs and goes to college. And oh yeah, she's also guardian to her two younger siblings. She never has a second to herself and she just can't get ahead. If it's not one thing, it's another. And today, it's the jerkweed who was all condescending and rude to her and the stuff that the book store sells. Which includes erotic stories written by two of her friends. However, she manages to dust herself off so that she can go to work at her second job, bartender at Club Verge.

Liam hates poor service, and so when he stopped to get a cup of coffee and found the woman at the store on the phone to her boyfriend, he was nasty to her. You see, Liam is uber rich and a Dom, and no one treats him with disrespect or says no to him. He felt that Cora, the woman behind the bar, was disrespectful. So when he sees her behind the bar at Verge, and is able to hide his identity from her because it was a Masquerade, he just wants to get to know her better.

I spent a lot of time in this book not really liking Liam a lot. He's really cold and calculating, and just a serious jerk. I really don't like the way that he treats people in general, nor the way that he treats service staff. I do eventually come to like him, but he's definitely not my favorite of Jane Henry's guys. All that being said, I do think that he's fairly good for Cora. He gives her a place where she can lay down her worries and burdens and just let someone else handle everything. For someone who has had to be so in control, like Cora, that has to be a relief.

I really like Cora. I admire her grit and determination. She also is going to fight for what she believes, no matter what. I truly respect her for stepping up and taking care of her sibs.

There was only one thing that I was curious about that didn't get answered, and that's Bailey's teacher who seemed to know something that he shouldn't, and was trying to lecture Cora. I might've liked to see something more from that. ( )
