Love Slave to the Sicilian Billionaire Guilty Pleasures # 4 Erotic BDSM Romance

Ella's blue eyes looked huge and frightened as she stared up at him from a kneeling position. Her obvious vulnerability made him feel all-powerful. "Come." Max stretched out a hand, and pulled her to her feet. He felt tiny tremors of anticipation pulsing through her fingertips. It felt good having her complete attention. When she stood in front of him, he cupped her chin, angling her face to his. He wanted to test her reaction, so he kept his voice low. "I should give you a good spanking for coming in here without my permission. I'm minded to lay you across my knee and redden your bare ass right now."

 

"Please, Max. I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't be in here." Her eyes flared wide, and she snapped her head back defensively. "Please don't spank me. I promise not to do it again. But it's partly your fault, too. If you don't want anyone to come in, then you should keep it locked."

 

"It's never locked." He raised his brow, wondering how much she really knew about a D/s relationship. He guessed she had a lot to learn. It seemed to him that Ella wanted to blame everyone except herself for her bad behavior. "So, are you saying it's my fault that you entered without permission?"

 

Her lips pouted. Gaining in confidence, she replied, "In a way, yes." She looked around. "Besides, I don't see anything special about this place. It's just an empty room with an old chest in the corner. I don't see why you're so bothered that I'm in here."

 

To keep calm he spoke very slowly. "I see." Max scanned the playroom intently, as though seeing it for the first time. Behind the large panes of mirrored glass lay his favorite toys. Large pieces of bondage furniture could be maneuvered into position at a moment's notice. Each time he played in here he set the scene to his own personal desires. With the aid of mood lighting and the right buildup he could create an atmosphere of dominance and surprise for his sub. At the moment it looked very barren and clinical. "Hmm, do I detect disappointment, Ella?"

 

"Max, I was curious, that's all. I wanted to know what to expect."

 

"Then I take it that you want to continue with our relationship?"

 

Ella nodded. "Yes, Max. I feel safe here. I haven't felt this calm for a long time. And you make me feel…"

 

She shrugged her shoulders and he encouraged. "Go on. We shouldn't have any secrets from each other."

 

A pretty pink color stained her cheeks. "You make me feel incredibly sexy."

 

He smiled, pleased by her frankness. "You do know I should punish you for coming in here?"

 

"Will you?"

  5 STARS "FEATURED REVIEW": "This is not so much a BDSM book, although there are some elements of that here. It is more a recovery of souls from a trauma that haunts both Ella and Max because of Kirk's death. Ella now feels that if she failed Kirk, then likely it was her fault somehow, so Max won't want her either. Max is on a mission to help Ella regain her equilibrium, and he feels that his Dom side will protect Ella and teach her that she is a person worth having and worth loving. When Ella finally finds out the truth about Kirk's last days, she loses all her newfound confidence. It's up to Max to bring her back to reality and love. I liked Love Slave to the Sicilian Billionaire a lot. I liked Ella's journey and thought it was very well done. I have reviewed other Bowles novels and now follow her and read whatever I can of her books. I think this may just be the best of the ones I've read. Looking forward to more." -- Alberta, Manicreaders Reviews

  4.5 STARS: "Maximiliano D'Alesandro is reeling from the suicide of his best friend and there is only one person to blame, the wife who led him to his death, Ella Williams. Looks can be deceiving though, as Max begins to realize there is more to his friend's death than what he thought. Ella is not to blame and his guilt for the harsh accusations he made towards her has him wanting to protect her, if only she could see him the way he needed as a Dom. I thought this was the best so far of the Guilty Pleasure series. The story tugs at you emotionally as you grieve with both Max and Ella, but as they begin to discover something special between them it becomes magical. A wonderfully written story that will become a favorite for fans of Jan Bowles." -- Emily, Sensualreads Reviews

  4 STARS: "There were a lot of twists and turns in Love Slave to the Sicilian Billionaire, the 4th book of the Guilty Pleasure series, that will make you sad, bring a smile to your face, and satisfy your many BDSM desires. Ella's world has turned upside down, and she finds that everything she knew was a lie, which takes an emotional toll on her and those around her...The way Max decides to help Ella, with both professional help and the love of a Dominant male, keeps the story moving. The sexual acts between the two include an awesome playroom filled with benches, bars, clamps, whips, and so many other great sexy items...The use of a character that is deceased and is only accessible from memories and emails works very well and kept me interested. I really enjoyed this story with all of it's emotional roller coasters." -- L T Blue, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

I will warn you though, there are times this book will hit you with the emotion...The author does a wonderful job of describing the characters' surroundings in very vivid detail. The beginning and middle of the book have a great set up and you want to know what is going to happen next. It is sexy, hot, sizzling, and erotic. Those are just a few of the words that I would use to describe this book. This is book four in this series by Jan Bowles and i have read them all and was not disappointed. I can't wait to see if a next book is coming from this author." -- Camilla Berg, The Romance Studio

  4 STARS: "Love Slave to the Sicilian Billionaire takes us on Ella's journey from a widow in despair to a woman confident with her sexuality and a submissive who has learned exactly how much pleasure a loving DOM can give. Max is a loving, but stern DOM who was exactly what Ella needed in her life. Max is a sensual lover and even when doling out Ella's punishment you can see his care and love for her...Overall Love Slave to the Sicilian Billionaire is an enjoyable, steamy read. There were some definite make me hot moments where I went "OH I WANT MAX!!" One in particular is when Max tells Ella "this is your sexual journey, not mine. I'm just the facilitator for your fantasies (yes I swooned). " -- Didi, Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

  4 KINKS: "I loved Max right from his first appearance in this story. He quickly learns that there is always more than what meets the eye. Max takes what he wants and right now what he wants is Ella. She is a beautiful woman who is hurt and in need, and Max finds himself wanting to be the man to protect her. I enjoyed watching Ella blossom. Seeing her feistiness return with Max's help was also a nice read. The two make a wonderful couple. Ella learns that she has more than just a curiosity about the lifestyle and finds the perfect place that she has always longed to be in. I really enjoyed watching the bond of trust develop between the two. The attraction is always there but the trust takes time. Ella must learn to trust Max and let him in. Max and Ella must both learn to follow their hearts and not their pain. This was one hot read that takes you on an emotional ride. I was immersed in the story right from the first page and didn't put it down until the very last page. The author brings Ella and Max to life brilliantly and their emotions burn up the pages making this a wonderful read that should be in every reader's library." -- Gabrielle, Kinky Book Reviews

This book is awesome!" -- Stephanie Rollins, BookreviewsRus
