~ Synopsis ~

This is the reward of the forbidden. This is the ecstasy of Enthrall.


Billionaire Cameron Cole is the one in control. He makes the decisions of both pleasures and punishments. He is the ultimate master. Owner of L.A.’s preeminent BDSM clubs, Cameron has yet to relinquish the all encompassing control of his submissive, twenty-one year old Mia Lauren.



Mia’s training unlocks a maelstrom of passion. A powerful connection. An unpredictable result. Her uninhibited journey intensifies by the day, but there are new complications on the horizon.


A powerful rival of Cameron’s has emerged with a relentless desire to make Mia his own. Lance Merrill has the means and the will to take what he believes is his and bring down an empire in the process.


Mia is taken by Cameron to London for her protection. Her obedience will be tested in ways she could not have foreseen. Richard Sheppard, her former master, has decided it’s time to take her back. Will Cameron give her over?


Or will the choice be hers?


In the rousing third novel of the renowned Enthrall Sessions, author Vanessa Fewings guides her readers through the uncharted territories of raw passion into the most heated corners of the human heart.


This is true obsession. This is the time for Mia to Enthrall Him.







Enthrall Him continues Mia, Cameron, and Richard's story. Where the previous installments focused on immersing Mia in the BDSM lifestyle, this last installment focuses on keeping Mia safe as well as the overall growth of the characters.

One element I've really appreciated over the course of this series is the psychology behind the decision to participate in the BDSM lifestyle. Ms. Fewings uses also psychology to explain behaviors and Cameron being a therapist aids in this. I liked that Cameron used psychology in helping Mia confront her past and that he also taught Mia much about the science. This added so much perspective.

As I said, Enthrall Him focuses on keeping Mia safe from events set in motion in the last installment. Cameron is the one who takes on the role of Mia's protector. We see that his feelings for her have evolved beyond those of being merely her teacher. His struggle with those feelings and Mia's imminent return to Richard are difficult to witness. Revelations come to light about Cameron and why he has always remained single as a Dom which afford a deeper understanding of him. Although I understood, his indecision and contradictory behavior towards Mia was frustrating. But Mia (and I) didn't give up hope.

Richard, once present in the action, showed a different side of himself. His jealous side and his inflexible side make themselves known and they aren't as attractive. His actions towards Mia are perhaps realistic but I also felt they were selfish and immature at times. I always liked him and felt for him with the demons he carried. His behavior, though, reinforced my thoughts on his being Mia's Dom. I was relieved when he was finally honest with Mia and himself.

Mia continues to grow. She shows an incredible amount of empathy towards Cameron and Richard, as well as other characters. Mia is desperate to repair relationships, to make and keep people happy. She learns that she can't make people be happy - that's their choice - but she helps initiate some things that might help Cameron and Richard move towards that end. At one point, Richard accuses Mia of being selfish but I never saw her as such. Even her decision to embrace the BDSM lifestyle, although it aided in her growth, was done to help Richard be happy.

Enthrall Him sees so much character growth for Cameron, Mia, and Richard. That growth comes from them each dealing with their demons. Although not action-packed, there was action and a lot of tension which kept me riveted. And it all led to a satisfying conclusion.

Enthrall Her (Enthrall Sessions #2)
Publication Date: May 20, 2014
Genre: Erotic Romance
Event Organized by: Literati Author Services, Inc.
Source: I received an eARC in exchange for an honest review
Rating: 4.5 Bookworms

Synopsis
This is the escalation of the forbidden. This is the power of Enthrall. 

Deemed too feisty to train. Too defiant to dominate. Mia's journey into the world of the forbidden takes its next step. 

Richard Booth, her master, must make the crucial decision...let her go or give her over to the only man who can her truly subjugate her, Cameron Cole, Director of both Enthrall and the preeminent BDSM
manor Chrysalis, and a connoisseur of the dark arts. Cameron's gift with shaping blossoming submissives will ensure Mia reaches her potential, a destination that may take her too far. 

Mia's choices will lead her to places both within and without that she never dreamed possible. 

But when her training is complete, will Cameron be able to return her to Richard, or will her transformation have bewitched him beyond repair? 



**I want to note now that in my review for Enthrall, I said that it was readable even if you aren't into BDSM. Enthrall Her is a bit more graphic in its description of BDSM. I felt it was very tasteful, but if you are averse to reading about BDSM, this may not be your cup of tea. Although I hope you'll give it a chance.**

Holy hotness!! Enthrall Her was incredible. The stage was set, the dynamics were already established and the story unfolded beautifully. 

Enthrall Her finds Mia growing and changing. She is struggling with a secret from her past as well as a shocking revelation in her present. As she and Richard are now involved, he tries helping her cope. But it's Cameron who is able to give her the tools she needs. Mia is also able to explore her interest in the BDSM lifestyle. Richard doesn't feel capable of training her to be his submissive, so Cameron takes her under his tutelage. Mia finds it hard to completely submit though - fearful of losing herself. Cameron has always been able to bring out her submissiveness though. He is able to help her lay to rest her demons - "using pain to banish pain" - the guilt and shame she feels over her childhood. But as Cameron works to transform Mia, something changes between them. And that something may irrevocably alter their lives.

I found this installment riveting! Not only is the forbidden lifestyle explored, but forbidden feelings between Cameron and Mia as well. I must admit that although I like Richard, it's Cameron that really intrigued me. Of course, that might be because he's such an enigma. I think he's also a stronger alpha male and seeing his softer side with Mia made him all the more appealing.

I believe this is my first true BDSM read - although I do think it'd be considered BDSM-lite. It is heavier than, say, Fifty Shades. What I most enjoyed about this BDSM element is Ms. Fewings' inclusion of psychology. Ms. Fewings incorporated glimpses of why someone would choose to enter this lifestyle. And Cameron's idol is Carl Jung and he did serve his patients and clients in the way that best suited them. I also appreciated that Ms. Fewings addressed questions that arose, for me anyway, such as how a woman not develop feelings for her Dom when said Dom is only training her for another Dom.

Enthrall Her captivated me. I adored all the interactions between Mia and Cameron and I was satisfied with the way Ms. Fewings ended this installment. I'm also extremely anxious for #3. I can't wait to find out where things will go from here!





GIVING MY WRIST another pull, I tried to escape this handcuff
securing me to the headboard of the four-poster. I’d been lying here for the last ten minutes, feeling a heavy mixture of arousal and frustration. Being restrained was doing crazy things to my body. My toes curled in anticipation.

Cameron Cole’s signature style was all dark wooden furniture with understated elegant pieces like this bed, that corner high-back chair, that mahogany dresser over there, and a flat screen TV halfway up the wall.

Breaking my stare from the fine silver chain dangling above, taking in deep calming breaths, I returned my attention to the décor, replaying the words I’d practiced before I left Malibu. Words that would change my life forever. The kind that meant there’d be no going back.

This wasn’t about securing your girlfriend to the bed as a precursor
to a night of lovemaking. No, this was secure your best friend’s
girlfriend to the bed and hope she tells you what the hell she’s doing here, dressed provocatively in a corset, high-top stockings, and a thong. My blonde locks were tussled to perfection and my makeup hid the fact I was only twenty-one. I’d gone for sex on a stick.

It was hard to tell from Cameron’s expression if it was working.
Casually, he leaned against the doorjamb, his tuxedo rounding out his usual look of perfection, tieless and with an open collar, hinting he might relax that fierce demeanor.

He sipped from a glass of dark amber liquor. “Can you unlock this?” I said. He shook his head. These were his handcuffs and this was one of his many bedrooms in his million dollar Beverly Hills mansion. I trusted Cameron, really I did. How could I not? He was a respected psychiatrist and he’d also been the one to get me the job as secretary at Enthrall, L.A.’s elite S & M club. A place where the rich played out their darkest fantasies. Becoming Enthrall’s secretary had seen financial freedom for me as well as placing me on a fast track to maturity.

I needed to know that look on Cameron’s face wasn’t fury.

Not that I wasn’t used to that expression, and coming from one of the most handsome faces I’d ever seen it had the expected effect of
stunning me into silence. It didn’t help that his genius outshone his
beauty.

Short black inky hair framed that intelligent face. A chestnut gaze
saw beyond what you willingly shared. As the director of Enthrall,
Cameron could hire and fire at will and he’d plucked me out of
obscurity, only it wasn’t my admin skills he’d been interested in
but my innocence.

He’d used me to entice his best friend Richard Booth away from his obsessive thrill seeking. Richard thought nothing of swimming with sharks as a way to get his adrenaline fix. He faced off with danger and then gave it the finger.

Still, I adored my beautiful Richard. I hadn’t known love until I’d met him. It was that love that had driven me here tonight. The
willingness to do anything to save the most important relationship I’d ever had.

“Dr. Cole,” I tried again, “you told me I could talk with you anytime.”

“It’s Cameron.” He strolled on in, exuding dominance.

This was the kind of man you could tell anything to. Though I’d
never want to disappoint him. Cameron set the bar so high that those around him could never reach it.

That familiar slow and steady walk, that ability to rule a room without speaking a word. It was impossible to drag my gaze away.
This man left both men and women alike spinning. His laser-sharp
perception ensured any outcome he desired. Yet his kindness, his
ability to always know what to say and when, put you at ease and
balanced out his intensity.

I wondered what it might be like to get inside Cameron’s head. Turn the tables on him for a change. That ability of his to see the truth beneath the surface of avoidance was admirable. Cameron was a mystery. Surrounded by the city’s most beautiful women, yet even after the several months I’d known him I’d never seen him with a lover. I’d merely witnessed swarms of ever hopeful submissives encircling him at parties. The lure of an impossible conquest.

Cameron perched on the edge of the bed and it dipped slightly. He
was close. Too close. Close enough for me to get a whiff of his
cologne that sparked every cell in my body.

He knew he was affecting me. I gave the handcuff another tug and it clanked its disapproval.

His lips curled in amusement. “Mia, if you ever enter any one of my properties uninvited again I will not be held responsible for my actions. Understand?”

I slid down the bed frame. 

“Interesting response.” 

Focus, Mia, I warned myself. Ask him. Say it. Go through with why you’re here.

A thrill tingled between my thighs as my imagination ran off with
thoughts of what I might experience if I dared to go through with this. The dominatrixes at Enthrall, the ones I affectionately called the ‘girls,’ had told me Cameron could make a woman pass out from pleasure. I believed it. He was making me lightheaded with merely his presence.

With Cameron’s laser-sharp perception, I didn’t stand a chance. He
was intoxicating. Any woman would be hard-pressed to refuse his
advances if she were lucky enough to get his attention. He oozed
raw sexuality. The get under your skin kind. The stun you into
silence kind. Even the way he set his glass down on the side table
reeked of control.

Light glinted off his onyx handcuffs. 

“Next time, Mia,” his tone was deep, cultured, “choose somewhere
else to turn up in the middle of the night. Like Bailey’s. That’s what best friends are for.”

“Bailey’s out with Tara,” I said. “It’s her mom’s birthday.” He picked up his drink and ice clinked. “Want a sip?” I rested my lips against the glass where his had been and he tipped the tumbler. Bitterness burned my throat, sending a shiver through me. He reached in and removed a cube of ice and popped it into my mouth. I resisted the urge to nip at his fingers, grateful for the melting ice soothing this burn.

Cameron acted as though all this sensual tension was business as
usual while placing the glass down squarely on the coaster, taking his time.

“Say what’s on your mind,” he said. 

“Richard refuses to talk about it.” 

“It?”

“Me becoming his submissive.”

Cameron narrowed his eyes. “He has mentioned his concerns.”

Of course he had. Richard and Cameron were best friends.

They told each other everything. Life had been going along perfectly well, my relationship blossoming, my trust solidifying, our intimacy progressing. It had been decided that I would become Richard’s submissive. Days later my dream had been shattered.

Everything I’d known had been turned upside down when a family secret had reared its ugliness and caused my entire world to implode. A revelation so dark that it had sent me into a tailspin.

And Richard had changed his mind.

If there was one thing I knew how to do well it was survive. Though my ability to cope was apparently freaking out Richard. He’d expected something different, a crumbling victim of her circumstances. Richard didn’t believe I could get over something so quick. Move on. You’d have thought I’d have received a standing ovation for my strength in leaving family trauma behind me, but no. Instead, Richard treated me like I was made of china.

These men were infamous for helping victims deal with their pasts. Using pain to banish pain. Not with me apparently. I was too broken even for them.

“Share your thoughts, Mia,” said Cameron, shaking me from my 
daydreaming.

I didn’t want to talk about any of that now. Didn’t want my father’s betrayal to encroach on this moment. Not after the courage I’d rallied to be here. I was alone in a room with the most incredible man I’d ever met, other than Richard of course, and Cameron was the one man who could save my relationship.

I needed to focus.

Not only was Cameron a master of conversation, he’d also conquered the art of silence. I wanted him to speak the words I
couldn’t say.

“How long have you lived here?” I said, slicing through the tension.

“I’ve owned this property awhile. I entertain here. My family’s coming into town, so I need to prepare the house.”

“To impress them?”

“They don’t need impressing.”

“The Venice Beach house is too small?”

“It’s the location. Too many tourists.”

“What about Chrysalis?” I cursed myself for sounding so stupid.

Cameron looked amused. “I can’t have a naked gimp appear from nowhere and scare the hell out of my Great Aunt Rose, now can I?”

“That would not be good.”

“That would be very bad.” He flashed a mega-watt smile. “Very bad indeed.”

Chrysalis was a fetish manor extraordinaire, visited from all over the world by rich clients who wanted to live out their fantasies. A place where L.A.’s finest partied to the extreme, with Cameron Cole as the grand master.

Maybe I really did need therapy. I wasn’t going to let him into my
mind, though. That was the promise I’d made to myself before
stepping foot over the threshold of the grandest foyer I’d ever seen.

“Do you live here alone?”

“Let’s talk about you—” 

“Will your dad be coming too?” I sounded casual. “That will be nice.”

“Why are you here, Mia? Straight to the point, please. It’s late.”

I could do this. I was ready. So I braced for the words I’d practiced
to say.

“Mia,” he coaxed.

“I want...”

“I’m listening.”

I couldn’t say it.

“Ah,” he said darkly. “You want me to teach you how to become a good submissive.”

**Review ~ Enthrall ~ Vanessa Fewings**


Enthrall (Enthrall Sessions, #1)
Enthrall by Vanessa Fewings
Enthrall Sessions #1
Genre: Erotic Romance
Release Date: August 16, 2013
Source: I received an ecopy, via Literati Author Services, in exchange for an honest review.
Rating: 3.5 Bookworms

Synopsis
Mia Lauren is a single, twenty-one-year old working in a West Hollywood art store who dreams of one day becoming a fashion designer. When an unexpected offer arises to work at Enthrall, L.A.'s premier fetish club for the wealthy, Mia accepts. It's a salary beyond her wildest imagination.

Mia becomes the secretary to the club's assistant director, blond and broody Richard Booth. Richard is not
only one of L.A.'s most beautiful and wealthiest men, he is also the club's senior dominant. Mia is both drawn and terrified when he reveals flashes of his white-hot passion, threatening an unbound pleasure like no other. She knows her attraction may be her undoing, but the spellbinding feelings render her powerless to resist his advances.

What Mia cannot know is that Enthrall's dashing director, thirty-year-old Cameron Cole, who is also the club's psychiatrist, has lured Mia to save his best friend and patient Richard from his obsession with thrill seeking. Cameron masterfully sets up sexy scenarios to ensure the collision of Richard and Mia, hoping that love will save him.

However, despite Cameron's noble intentions, he also finds himself enticed by Mia's haunting innocence. Passion and pleasure stir, forming a dangerous love triangle.

This is the world of the forbidden. This is the embrace of Enthrall.



"Do you know what enthrall means?" he said.
"Mesmerize."
"Enslave."
-Cameron & Mia, Loc 3807

Enthrall was an intriguing read. It took familiar elements - rich broken man, young beautiful virgin, and BDSM - and put its own twist on them. While I did have a few issues with the execution of the story, I was still compelled to read it.

Mia Lauren needs a job making more money than she's currently earning. Not only is she supporting herself, she's also taking care of her step-mom's medical bills. Her best friend's girlfriend sets her up an interview at Enthrall, a BDSM club. Mia is hired - and her life changes in many unexpected ways.

Richard Booth, Mia's new boss, is domineering, handsome, and apparently damaged. He and Mia have this push-pull dynamic and Richard is constantly warning her off him on minute and then coming to her rescue in the next.

Then there's Cameron Cole. (*swoon*) He's the hot resident psychiatrist at Enthrall. His specialty? Profiling people. Watching as he gets in Mia's head and dissects her interactions with Richard was actually kinda fun. He fascinates me despite some of his actions being questionable.

Enthrall is the first in the Enthrall Sessions and as such does the setting up for the rest of the series. We meet characters, are introduced to the lifestyle, and get background on the main characters. It made for compelling reading. However, I did feel it odd that Mia, being so innocent, I mean, she refers to her vagina as 'down there' - would even entertain taking a job at a BDSM club. She didn't know exactly what went on there though, so I suppose I can forgive that. I also felt that there were things missing. For instance, revelations and decisions would be made and I was left feeling as though I hadn't been privy to how the characters had arrived there.This left me frustrated at times.

Despite my few issues though, I still was caught up in the story. I wanted to know all the secrets and see where Mia, Richard, and Cameron would go once everything was out in the open. I was anxious to read Enthrall Her, the second in the series, and I was rewarded. My review of it posts tomorrow.

One thing I'd like to note - I know BDSM might frighten some of you. I wanted to say that although this book is about the lifestyle, set in a club, etc., there's very few actual 'scenes'. It's more talked about and talked around than shown.

That star split off a millennia ago into a thousand pieces and yet we've found each other by some remarkable twist of fate.
