The Romance Studio
For five years, Raoul Saint Germain has been in love with his best friend Nikita Ashton. In fact, if Nikita had believed anything other than the known existed, alpha werewolf Raoul would have given into his wolf and claimed her as his mate. When Nikita is attacked and runs to Raoul for safety, he’s furious that she’s been harmed in his territory. He’s also torn since Nikita needs looking after right now, not to see the Dom in him come out now that he has her in his home and under his protection. Nikita has known about her friend’s lifestyle for a while now, and when she admits it, Raoul can’t resist the challenge of teaching her how to submit. Just when they are both finding a new happiness, Nikita is kidnapped. Can Raoul get to her in time for them to have a lifetime of the happiness they only got a taste of? There is a lot packed into this really intriguing book. I enjoyed watching the relationship between Raoul and Nikita change and grow, and of course there was the incredible chemistry and sex between them. There is definitely an element of BDSM to their relationship that just adds to the heat. But there is also so much more. You get an interesting look at the shifter world the book is set in and it’s very richly described for a relatively short book.
