 Taken from a verified purchase review by author RE Hargrave:

**** A budding romance. Intrigue. Kinky sex. Murder.
Welcome to Las Vegas, and the life of Samantha Drake: lawyer by day, Domme by night. Except that Vegas is the city that never sleeps and it doesn’t take long for her two worlds to begin blending.

With her defenses locked up tighter than Fort Knox, Sam faces her biggest challenge when she decides to let Thomas Hunt inside her armor. Little by little, she starts relinquishing control to her playful young submissive as he takes his fledgling steps into “Domhood.” What she isn’t prepared for, is exactly what that means or how to separate her growing romantic feelings from the possessive, domineering ones.

When things start going wrong in her professional life, it’s unclear who Sam can really turn to for help. Does she follow her heart, or her head? It seems every decision she makes leads to pain for someone else. Only time will tell when her own life ends up on the line.

Roulette will sweep you up and take you on an adventure across the pages. Don’t trust anyone, and be prepared to be left chomping at the bit for more when you reach the end.

Don't miss Book Two of The Thomas Hunt Series, Blackjack: Wicked Game, available now. Steamy, funny as hell, with twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end.

*****Explicit Escapes: ...simply amazing. I started the story thinking I was going to be reading about a hardcore Domme. In fact what I got was a regular woman who liked to have control and male submissives, with some kinky sex on the side. When you meet Thomas Hunt, her new male submissive, you instantly fall in love with his young boy charm. ...You will laugh, find joy, be scared, be skeptical, be sad, be turned on, and be happy through this adventure. This story was refreshing and I highly recommend you take the journey with Sam and Thomas as they figure out if a D/s situation can actually work as a real relationship.
***** kdbooks: a multi faceted story with layer upon layer of emotional pull, and a plot line filled with intrigue. And let's not forget about Thomas, it is set in Sin City, after all, and Thomas is certainly worth sinning for. If I had to place a bet on Roulette, I'd go all in!
***** from Book Excursions Book Reviews: …I love a strong and kick-ass female character…Thomas is adorable; he completes Sam, in that where she lacks the ability to let go, he shows her how to relax and have fun. ... there is plenty of suspense that leaves you begging for the next story! …read this story because this has very hot light BDSM scenes with a great surrounding storyline that is both balanced and well-written. I hope you will love it as much as I did.
***** iLoveAGoodBook: What an amazing debut book by an amazing author! Sam J.D. Hunt has proven she is a force to be reckoned with in the world of BDSM.
***** from Katrina: From the very first page you are always on your toes. It is full of intrigue, a little suspense and loads of hot, steamy, OMG-did-they-just-do-that sex. It is hot! Sam knows how to write a sex scene. Well, let me say, Sam knows how to write, period. Even though, the book is BDSM related, you don’t see a lot of that in here. It is light...

The first thing you are wondering, is this author male or female? After reading the book I can tell you this author likes to keep you guessing. While the ending did not have a big cliffhanger (Thank you, Sam,) there are scenes in the book that keep you on your toes and you are never bored. You might want to have a towel handy, if you know what I mean. *smiles*

Samantha Drake is a Dominant. Yes, you got that right, a Domme. She is independent. She likes to be in control. She is a well paid attorney in Las Vegas and one sexy lady. Whenever she decides to take a sub it is always with the understanding that it is only about the sexual relationship and nothing more; nothing romantic. EVER. To her, with her being the Dominant, romance can’t work. Then she meets the submissive, Thomas Hunt, a younger, scorching hot doctoral student looking for a Domme. When he moves in to become her submissive, his playful, sexy as hell nature gives her pause; she may have met her match. He pushes HER boundaries (she even feels a little insecure with the age difference) and slowly starts to tear down those walls she has around her heart, but not without a price.

From the very first page you are always on your toes. It is full of intrigue, a little suspense and loads of hot, steamy, OMG-did-they-just-do-that sex. It is hot! Sam knows how to write a sex scene. Well, let me say, Sam knows how to write, period. She (yes, the author is female) even makes you wonder if the book does not have some truth to it since the character’s name and her name are the same (Sam is short for Samantha.) But, then again, is not that part of her intrigue, using her name as the character name to make us wonder? Even though, the book is BDSM related, you don’t see a lot of that in here. It is light in nature.

The secondary characters add suspense, flair, laughter and some of them you just love to hate. There is a couple I want to throat-punch. Some of them you fall in love with so easily. I want to get my hands on Thomas’ mother and hug her neck; she is so sweet and fun. Sam’s dad, on the-other-hand… I want her housekeeper, Evan. I mean a gay former WWF-type professional wrestler as a housekeeper? Yes, he is fun to have around. With the type of law that Samantha and her partner practice, they deal with some high-powered, sometimes unsavory people and this gives the book some suspenseful situations and occasionally leaves you questioning what will happen next.

However, the book is not really about all of that, it is about tearing down emotional walls and the blurred lines between Dominance and submission. It is about learning to trust and let go. It is an emotional journey watching these two fight for this relationship and sometimes I want to *spank* Samantha. (smile) It is baby-steps for her, while Thomas wants to scale the wall.

I am looking forward to the next book. I could have used it right now, this story is so good. I am really impressed with this being a debut book from this author. High-five, Sam!

I liked a great deal of this story, though not all of course. There was one part of their story that was a 'squick' to me, more of a matter of your kink is not my kink, so that's on me and not the authors writing ability.

The sex scenes were smoking hot and complimented the story, rather than 'being' the story. I liked that they were both switches, even though it was clear Samantha was the dominant one of the two. It was great she was willing to bottom and put her trust in Thomas's hands, something she didn't find easy to do.

My nit-pick, I got sick and tired of hearing about how much this guy liked to eat! Yes we all have to eat, some people have huge appetites, but gosh damn don't ram that fact down my throat...pun intended :)

My Grumble, and what knocked off half a star, the stupid cliff-hanger, and the fact this story is told entirely from Sam's POV.

I'm on the fence if I will read book 2 or not. From the titbit I read, it is just a recap of this story but in Thomas's POV and with him becoming the dominant one in the relationship

5.0 out of 5 stars A sexy and entertaining take on a female Domme with a male submissive!
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2014

First, let me start by saying that this is an Erotica novel. Don’t complain when the main point of the story is the characters having kinky sex; if you didn’t know that’s the point of the whole Erotica genre. Character growth through the use of sexual acts.

Samantha Drake, successful lawyer and Domme, takes on Thomas Hunt sexy submissive. Samantha needs control after being denied “free will” in a sense, from her family. Her overbearing Father ran the household with an iron fist and her Mother bends to his every demand. Samantha determined to not be like her mother grows into the Domme that we meet at the beginning of the story. Samantha takes on a case that changes everything; her business partnership with Cal and trust of Thomas. Her emotions are challenged along with her learning if she can bend her own rules and take a gamble on the losing game of love.

I was captivated at the beginning of this story. I love a strong and kick-ass female character. It was humorous the way Sam messed with Ms. Cutler by telling her the explicit sexual experience between her and Thomas. Samantha has a carefree, I don’t give a damn, kind of attitude and it rocks!

Thomas is adorable; he completes Sam, in that where she lacks the ability to let go, he shows her how to relax and have fun. They may have a Dom/Sub agreement, but their friendship and love is evident (even when Sam refuses to believe that she is falling for Thomas). Their playful banter made this story amusing and there are plenty of laugh out loud moments.

Don’t let me fool you because when the plot twists kick in, there is plenty of suspense that leaves you begging for the next story!

If you’re looking for a repeat of Fifty Shades, forget it. I don’t care what people say, but the only thing similar to Fifty Shades is that this is an Erotica BDSM novel. So stop looking for a repeat of Fifty Shades and read this story because this has very hot light BDSM scenes with a great surrounding storyline that is both balanced and well-written. I hope you will love it as much as I did, but if our tastes vary that’s fine. Give this read a chance and it will entertain you.

I started reading with no expectation (though I’ve heard so much about this book) but as I read, I found it had an amazing story (with lots of sex in it). Sam, I loved every single page of this book. I can’t wait to read the next one in the series!

This book came recommended and I'm very happy that it did. There are not many Female Domme books out there and this one is written extremely well. I love the dynamic between the main characters and the level of detail Sam went to when writing. I can't wait to read the next book in the series!
