Enter a decadent sensual world where gorgeous alpha males are committed to fulfilling a woman's every desire…
Olivier isn’t sure what he’s gotten himself into when he joins the Honey Club, only that a dark part of him hungers for the lifestyle offered by this exclusive club. Here, no boundary will be left untested…and one's deepest fantasies will become an exquisite reality.
When Amélie invites Olivier to surrender, she gives the alpha submissive what he craves. Soon they both find themselves falling harder than they ever anticipated—but as their connection deepens, the truth about Olivier’s past could destroy everything…
Gripping and seductive, The Deep End is the first book in a sensational new series from bestselling author Kristen Ashley.
I never doubt that I’m going to love a book by Kristen Ashley. Never. But I did wonder how she was going to create an alpha-submissive, and do it in a way that’s true to the lifestyle. I don’t know why I wondered. I should have known she would create a wonderfully alpha man ready to take care of his woman, but also NEEDING to be dominated by her. It was beautiful, it was beyond hot….WAY BEYOND HOT!! I can’t wait for more from the Honey Club!
Leave everything you know about Kristen Ashley books at the door. This is a new type of romance. It’s actually more erotica than the Unfinished Heroes series, but it definitely takes it’s queue from those alpha males and flips it on it’s head. Now the woman is the one calling the shots in the bedroom (or kitchen, stable, and BDSM club.) I liked all the characters, of course, but still felt there could have been more of Amelie and Olivier. The sex scenes are off the chart hot, but they tended to overshadow the character development. And we see a lot of side characters thrown in from both Amelie’s life and Olivier’s, but Kristen gives us hints for the next 2 (hopefully 3) couples. Don’t be afraid of an Alpha-sub. Even though Olivier may like to be told what to do in the bedroom, he is ALL normal Kristen Ashley Alpha male outside of that. Remember to respect all kink.
