Crave Me: Luminous, Book 2

Lynn’s second Luminous contemporary (after Dominate Me), set in a BDSM community in Grand Rapids, Mich., is a gentle, erotic representation of kinky life. Simon Delgado is a dominant whose last relationship collapsed when a scene went too far too fast and his partner viewed it as assault. Chloe Reynolds, Simon’s ex’s sister, has been in love with Simon since the day she met him, and she wants to get involved in kinky life. After Simon rescues Chloe from a caning gone wrong at the Luminous club, he agrees to train her despite his misgivings about her family’s reaction. As Simon introduces Chloe to the role of a submissive, together they explore the different motivations they have for their roles and their relationship. Chloe is already in love with Simon, and Simon’s kink experience outweighs Chloe’s, so they both grow and learn together. The valid concerns of both their families, to which there are no easy answers, are skillfully portrayed. (June)
