Publisher's Summary

Unemployed, blacklisted, and pregnant, Sophie Scaife's life is totally upside down. Her relationship with publishing magnate Neil Elwood is on the rocks. Her best friend's career is igniting. And Sophie is afraid that she'll make one of the toughest decisions of her life alone.

When a devastating diagnosis forces Neil to return to London, Sophie throws caution to the wind to follow her heart across the Atlantic. Keeping a scorching affair as red-hot in sickness as it was in health is a challenge, even for two lovers as inventive as Sophie and Neil. But Sophie is more than willing to try anything her sir commands, and their fantasies of control become a welcome refuge from the daily stress of illness.

While Neil's wealth and privilege make adjusting to her new situation easier, Sophie finds herself rebuilding her life around an uncertain future. And while both of them face the changes between them head-on, they're all too aware that their happiness may be fleeting - and that Sophie could lose Neil forever.

Inconsistant quality...with controversial issues

The book series starts off promising with some decent character development. However, the psychology of the characters becomes off as the author throws in very controversial issues purely for shock and awe rather than to enhance an already intriguing relationship between hero and heroine. There should be trigger warnings regarding a detailed abortion and violent demeaning behaviour toward the heroine in second book which some readers may find disturbing. As well, there is meage a trois content starting in book two. So if you don't find material such as this romantic consider this before you invest hours of your time listening to this series. The series started off promising but, in my opinion, becomes less romantic as it progresses which is unfortunate since I had high hopes wanting this to be my new intriguing read. . Even if characters experience turmoil in a book the material can still hold it's romantic draw but unfortunately this series lacks that. It's also disappointing that the 'shock & awe' isn't used as a catalyst to explore emotional growth & healing on a deeper level. As well, the narrator has talent but her male British accent is lacking and inconsistent.

Irritating, annoying, disappointing

Sophie's inner dialogue is annoying and this book actually changes your view of her to the point of not liking her at all. Her decisions will have you questioning all her decisions
