They call him Masque.
I call him God.
The man I want to consume me, own me,
break me and corrupt me.
Yet I've never seen his face.
His body ripples like an Adonis, sculpted in steel and
dripping in sin. His flesh is inked with the mark of the
chimera - one body, two very different halves.
He plays hard.
He plays rough.
He has no limits.
He's so fucking dirty bad wrong.
But I love him for it.
***
Lydia Marsh is always the strong one. The girl who never breaks, and sure as hell never cries. She's got it all - the perfect little life in cosy suburbia, with her perfectly nice boyfriend, and their perfectly sufficient sex life. She's even got her perfect little career plan all wrapped up at Trial Run Software Group.
But when it all falls apart, and Lydia's pretty, green eyes are fixed on a brutally sexual stranger - the man they call Masque - she comes to suspect that being strong isn't all it's cracked up to be.
For now Lydia wants something she's never wanted before...
And she wants Masque to give it to her.
**Warning - this novel contains graphic sex, and hardcore elements of BDSM. There are scenes of violence (consensual) as well as sexual practices some readers may find offensive.
If you aren't turned on by dirty bad wrong sex then please walk on by. Thank you.***

Oh [a:Jade West 10681321 Jade West https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1429497078p2/10681321.jpg]! I hate you! LOL This was an Audiobook and free to boot as a lure to try Audible. I picked this tittle as a challenge to myself. It looked like a whole bunch of stuff that I knew I wouldn't like and I was sure it would definitely not be a romance much less one with a HEA. At this point I must confess that though I read and have read my fair share of BDSM, I'm not too keen on the S&M part when the MCs are M/F and the female is the submissive. It almost feels like too much of an imbalance of power but I know that that's just a senseless bias on my part and there have been exceptions I've quite enjoyed.On to this book: it threw me for a loop! Even though I'd never trade places with Lydia, I fully believe in her and James. In their journey to love and that the acts they engage in lead them on that path and it brings them pleasure equally. I had started wanting to hate James for being an asshole and damn if I wasn't surprised when I found myself rooting for him and my adoration of him was sealed with the final scene at the office. He is a total badass and yet the romantic hero Lydia needs and deserves.Lydia was equally good. Not a pushover but rather a woman who has found what will bring her freedom & fulfillment and isn't embarrassed to go after it.And what to say about Bex but that she's the best friend anyone could ask for.I know some will be aghast at some of the sexual acts depicted as they clearly aren't for everyone, hell they're not for me, but Ms. West fully made me believe in James & Lydia as a couple on equal footing and in their HEA. So yes: I hate Jade West. LOLKudos too to the narrator [a:Anais Inara Chase 16317954 Anais Inara Chase https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]. She was perfect.
