She is lonely and makes the decision to explore a side of herself that has been missing, even when married to her husband. She has fantasized about finding a man to dominate her. She seeks what she is looking for at an exclusive club that caters to people indulging in their most hedonistic fantasies. She never thought that the one man she has leaned on these past three years would be there, Her husband's best friend, Dash.
Dash has lived in what seemed like an impossible position for years. He is in love with his best friend's wife. Unwilling to act on that attraction, knowing he would never betray his best friend, he has waited in the wings, offering Josslyn unconditional support and comfort as she works past the grief of losing her husband. When he finds her in a club devoted to the darker edges of desire, he is furious because he believes she doesn't know what it is that she is getting into.
It's when she explains exactly what she wants and needs in detail that has him reeling. He realizes that he has been given his chance to claim the one thing in his life that he has wanted the most, but can he keep Josslyn once he has her submission, her trust, and her love.
I really enjoyed LETTING GO. As the first book in Maya Bank's Surrender Trilogy this is a great start to the series. The romance quickly progresses and the entire storyline has a nice flow to it. The characters are great as well. Josslyn is a strong character who knows what she wants, who is honest and pulls no punches. She was so in love with Carson, even when he could not give her the one thing she wanted, needed most... dominance. The chemistry between Josslyn and Dash is good too. Their attraction is immediate, which leaves to no shortage of steamy bedroom romance.
This book also has a peek into the second book, which is Giving In, I can not wait to see how Maya Banks writes the story of Kylie and Jensen.
Book Summary
THE FIRST BOOK OF THE SURRENDER TRILOGY
In her sensational Breathless Trilogy, #1 New York
Times bestselling author Maya Banks tested the
boundaries of desire. In her new trilogy, there’s only one
thing left to do: cross them. And never have the
consequences of erotic exploration been so irresistibly
inviting, so shockingly intimate, and so totally
unexpected…
LETTING GO
Josslyn found perfection once, and she knows she’ll never
find it again. Now widowed, she seeks the one thing her
beloved husband couldn’t give her: dominance. Lonely,
searching for an outlet for her grief and wanting only a
brief taste of the perfection she once enjoyed, she seeks
what she’s looking for at an exclusive club that caters to
people indulging in their most hedonistic fantasies. She
never imagined that what she’d find would be the one man
who’s long been a source of comfort—and secret longing. Her
husband’s best friend.
Dash has lived in an
untenable position for years: in love with his best friend’s
wife but unwilling to act on that attraction. He’d never
betray his best friend. And so he’s waited in the wings,
offering Joss unconditional support and comfort as she works
past her grief, hoping for the day when he can offer her
more.
When he finds her in a club devoted to the
darker edges of desire, he’s furious because he thinks she
has no idea what she’s getting herself into. Until she
explains in detail what it is she wants. What she needs. As
realization sets in, he is gripped by fierce, unwavering
determination. If she wants dominance, he is the only man
who will introduce her to that world. He is the only man who
will touch her, cherish her…love her. And the only man
she’ll ever submit to.
