10 Nights by Michelle Hughes

My rating 4 of 5 Stars

Leah is a recent graduate who has no interest in losing her virginity.  She has no respect for men because of how her father treated her mom.  Her best friend is Janie, who lives life for both of them. Leah's greatest worry is finding a job until Janie takes her to an after-grad party that changes everything.  

This is the night for Janie to share her only secret with Leah.  She has a boyfriend and is into the BDSM lifestyle.  Leah is shocked and overwhelmed at what she is seeing in the dungeon.  Even worse is the way her body responds with excitement.  Unable to deal with all of her desires she runs from the party and into the first man she has ever found desirable.  

Rhett finds himself uncharacteristically drawn to this girl and decides he wants her as his pet.  He makes Leah an offer of 10 nights to surrender to him and experience pleasure.  She immediately wants to accept but agrees to spend the night thinking it over and discussing with Janie.  When Rhett is informed of Leah's innocence he finds it even harder to let her go home for even one night.  

Of course Leah accepts even though she is terrified of the unknowing.  They spend the first evening discussing the details and agreeing with the use of safe words until she discovers her limits.  They agree to start the 10 nights tomorrow and take care of her virginity tonight.  

I found myself being swept up into their feelings and experiences and at the same time thinking no one can be that submissive.  Leah is determined to finish the 10 nights no matter how hard Rhett pushes her or forces her to experience things she has no desire for.   He even questions himself several times but continues full speed ahead.  I found myself wanting to smack them both and tell them to discuss things, but Rhett is all dominant and refuses to allow his feelings to get involved.  

When Rhett pushes to far he breaks something inside of Leah and she finally uses her safe word to get away.  Her heart is broken and still longs for Rhett even if she doesn't like him right now.  This situation finally opens Rhett's heart and mind to how much he truly feels for Leah.  When he realizes theses feelings are love he decides he will surrender himself to be whatever she needs him to be.  She also decides she cannot just walk away and agrees to meet and discuss their relationship.  Together they can see what they have together and what they need from each other.  

I am anxious for the next book and I hope they have a healthier relationship.  I loved the story and characters. My favorite was the relationship between David and Janie is a great erotic love story. I liked the fantasy role playing and the BDSM scenes were hot.
