Long for Me

Trust is everything… I was so looking forward to Bennett’s story because he was such an intriguing secondary character in the second book of the series, Crave Me. And, wow! Ms. Lynn does not disappoint in bringing us such a strong and powerful alpha man. Bennett had me melting with everything he did. Bennett Ashby is a man’s man who is described as a force of nature. He exudes power and confidence with absolute finesse. But unfortunately, his employees see him as an unrelenting and demanding boss. His new assistant, Rebecca, merely sees him as egocentric, rude, and mercurial. . Rebecca Morales has been working her buns off trying to prove herself since acquiring a new position with Ashby Enterprises. After a long day, she’s ready to usher in the new year with comfy pajamas and a bottle of wine, but her friends, Shawn and Miranda Lawson, invite her out to a New Year’s Eve event at Luminous, a BDSM club. Ever since Rebecca accidently stumbled across the playroom at Sean and Miranda’s house, she’s been curious about the lifestyle but remains apprehensive about it after what she’s lived through with her family. Rebecca sees Bennett at the club and both are surprised. It’s a chance for Bennett to introduce Rebecca to the pleasures of his world, but she’s not convinced the lifestyle is any different from an abusive relationship. She’s unwilling to give up control over her life. I just love how Bennett takes Rebecca in hand and helps her discover a whole new side of herself in her submission, with patience and trust. And the dynamic between these two is irresistible. Sweet, romantic and a whole lot of sexy goodness. Long For Me is the third book in the Luminous series, and a great addition. I’ve enjoyed the series so far and I highly recommend it. I received and reviewed an ARC of this book.

I love the Luminous series by Stacey Lynn. Her writing always brings an emotional side of mine upfront. I was ready to start Long For Me and start digging through Rebecca and Bennett's story. Long For Me will give all aspects of BDSM. You can have your hardcore, and then there is the custom part of it that makes it yours. That is what Bennett taught Rebecca. I love the beauty of it with the trust and being loved like no other. The part where the Dom is captivating and shows the Sub how precious they are. Between Bennett and Rebecca it was amazing and pulled at my heart strings. I loved that all of the characters from previous books show up a time or two. When a book series brings back our favorite previous characters, it makes the story come back in a full circle. I truly enjoyed reading this book. The passion was off the charts and learning how to let go was a big takeaway for me. Rebecca is my favorite kind of gal, and Bennett will stay in my dreams for a long while. What a great story to end the week with.
