BREAK ME DOWN (LOVING ON THE EDGE #8.5)

The New York Times bestselling author of Call on Me invites you to discover the thrill of control as one couple wrestles for power in and out of the bedroom…

Samantha Dunbar needs to forget Gibson Andrews. When he trained her to be a domme, she experienced just how hot things could get with the sexy executive. She was ready to hand him everything—including her heart. But Gibson backed away, declaring them incompatible. He’s a dominant, and Sam’s no submissive.

But after an attack shakes Sam to her core, Gibson tracks her down at her family’s rundown farmhouse and makes her an offer. He’ll stay the week and be hers in every way—a helping hand for the renovation and a willing lover in her bed. He swore he’d never give up control to anyone again, but he hasn’t been able to touch another woman since Sam. Maybe a week alone with her will cure him of his relentless craving.

But one taste only makes them want more, and Sam and Gibson are drawn in deeper than ever. The man who won’t give in has just met the girl who won’t give up…

Nikki’s Review:

Holy crap! I wasn't expecting this. I don't read Femme Domme stuff...ever! It's not my bag, you know? But ummm, I may be changing my mind with that. Roni Loren. The authors name alone incites giddiness and excitement. I know when I open one of her books; I'm going to be going on a deliciously filthy adventure!

Gibson. Hot damn! This character has intrigued me since I met him in previous books. He's totally alpha, but there's something else that lurks under his well-built facade. His fantasy is to kneel before a dominant woman. And not just any woman...Samantha. I went into this book with a sense of trepidation. I love this series, but like I said, the whole Femme Domme genre doesn't flip my switch. But I will eagerly read anything by Ms. Loren. Man, once I started reading, I was hooked! 

Gib is struggling with his submissive needs and ghosts from the past. Sam has her own set of issues lurking in the dark of her mind. But together, they smooth out each other's edges and create a real sense of calm...even with Sam flogging Gib! 

For a novella, this book packed a real punch! So much going and so many emotions to absorb. Seriously, I was utterly captivated. The writing so beautifully put together. This author makes it seem like you're inside the story, a fly on the wall. Ha! I'd love to be a fly on the wall watching Gibson getting worked over!

When I think of a Roni Loren novel, I immediately start picturing all the yummy things the characters will do together. And I don't mean baking! The woman has a wicked, wicked mind. But she totally outdid herself in this one. It was filthy...and I loved every freakin' moment! So much sheet yoga in this one.

I loved the realness of these characters. It can't be easy for a tough guy like Gib to give himself over to a woman, to submit to her. In his mind, he's supposed to be in her role. That's what a "strong" man does, right? What you very quickly learn in this book, is that it takes so much strength to open yourself up and trust another person to make you fly. That's not something to be taken lightly. It's a gift. When Gibson is able to finally get out of his head and open his whole heart to Sam, the results are equally explosive, and so incredibly beautiful. Like I said, they just do it for each other. They connect like puzzle pieces.


You need to read this book. Well, read the whole damn series, but this book can be read as a stand-alone. What else can I say, expect...one click this baby! Thank you Ms. Loren for yet another toe curling, panty wetting Journey...my husband thanks you!
