Date Published: 6/26/12


Synopsis:
Millie Newton has been in love with her neighbor and best friend, Brad Cooper for as long as she can remember. She harbored a secret crush for years, hoping for the one chance with him. It was stolen from her when he enlisted in the Marines, and was sent away. The last time he was home on leave she missed him. This time, at the 4th of July block party she knows it is her chance to get what she wants. Only a surprise has come along with Brad, his buddy, Kenny Willet. She also had no clue that Brad is a Dominant in the BDSM scene in Chicago, and Kenny is a Sexual Sadist. Millie decides its time. When Brad and Kenny decide they want her together, fireworks erupt in a 4th of July spectacular that none of them anticipated.

My Review:
Bonnie handles writing a shorter story very well. Was I hoping for more afterwards? Well, yes. But I think with the length of the book it was well balanced.

We got just enough background on Millie and Brad to not be in the dark of their feelings for one another. One thing I do wish is that we learned a bit more about Kenny. He was very much an equal part of the threesome, but I feel like he was in the background for most of the story.

For me this read more as a Menage than BDSM. Yes, Brad and Kenny practice the BDSM lifestyle, but this scene being held at a backyard barbecue kind of hindered their ability to show the extent of what the reader knows they are capable of. It was a bit of a tease and I would like to see them in a club like they eluded to for sure!

Overall a HOT, but short and sweet menage/BDSM story!
