For One Night Only: The road to redemption can sometimes be a dangerous one Kindle Edition

Jake Morrison is seeking redemption for a terrible mistake ...

Jake Morrison's position as Dom has been deeply shaken by his unwitting role in the recent death of his sub.

When he's allowed back into Langley's Pleasure House after a six-month ban, he longs to make amends in any way possible.

Club-owner Langley's surprising request for an unexpected encounter, however, tests Jake's sense of purpose to the core. He's willing to learn, but the lesson might not be one he expects...

A powerful read for all lovers of erotic romance.

Reviews:

"This short story is a carefully crafted piece of work, almost an analysis of the clearly complex concept of power in BDSM. There is a judicial balance between the two sexual encounters described that reinforces the lesson of this BDSM morality tale. It was a compelling piece of writing." (Jessewave Reviews)

"This is one of those books that sticks with the reader even after they have finished the book and has you wondering what more will happen between Jake and Langley in the future. The author did a wonderful job of pulling me into the story and keeping me entertained all the way to the end." (The Romance Studio)

"This is a story about personal growth as much as power play. If you like pondering the nature of D/S relationships, are interested to see the impact emotions can have on something many would call purely physical encounters, and if you enjoy well-written stories, don't miss this one!" (QMO Books)

Reviews:

"Every single character here is unique. I couldn't stop thinking while reading this story that each and every one of them pulses with life." (MM Good Book Reviews on Maloney's Law)

"a flawlessly written, beautiful yet haunting story, at times gritty, dark and intense" (Queer Magazine Online on A Dangerous Man)

"an exceptionally well written and thrilling mystery novel. This novel grabbed a hold of me almost immediately and would not let go." (Romance Junkies Reviews on The Bones of Summer)

"a slow burning mystery woven into the ordinary lives of a close-knit group of friends. This is a great choice for readers who prefer to get to know characters well before the plot heats up. The payoff at the end is well worth the initial emotional investment." (Long and Short Reviews about Thorn in The Flesh)

"a great, laid back story with many twists to keep you laughing. The fast paced flow of the wacky story was undeniably fun. I say that if on a rainy day or just when you need to laugh in a 'The Birdcage' feel, this book is for you." (Dark Diva Reviews on Pink Champagne and Apple Juice)

4.0 out of 5 stars Heartbreaking and lovely!

Erotica + grief = ? Could such an unusual mix of themes ever work? The answer is yes, in this novelette it does. At least for a reader like me who enjoys a good dose of angst and spiritually hurt characters, at their emotional low. And get to follow them on the road to turn things around.

My favourite thing about this story was the connection between the characters, their very human flaws and vulnerability, and not necessarily the steamy scenes. This book is not a romance novel as there is no HEA, but there was the tiniest hint of a romantic HFN that worked well for me.

I love this book. It is short, but wonderful written. It makes you look at the characters in a whole new light and just might make you think before you judge some again. I loved it for all its beauty.

This was my first book of this type. I wish it had been longer so that I could have gotten to know the characters better. Good descriptions and back story. I learned a lot from this book. I did find it funny the dom-sub culture seems to be very needy. LOL. Good, fast read.

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2017
Thoroughly enjoyed this story filled with angst and dark emotions. We read many stories of the confident, competent Dom, but seldom does anyone delve into the darkness that can surround the type of emotional control these people can have over other people's lives. This is one story I would have loved to see developed into a full length novel.

Emotionally repressed Dom whose sub committed suicide has to work to be trusted again and allowed back in to a private club. Very emotional packs a punch for a short story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Touching Story.
Reviewed in Canada on December 26, 2023

I'm a bit touchy about Dom and sub stories, I really don't get it but fully appreciate that some need it, parts of it can be rather touching actually, the relationship of full trust. This is rather short, very sad at the start as a Dom is getting over the loss of his sub and much later is nervously trying again, it does have a touching ending though. A nice read.
