I’ve never done this before—two months on a private island, isolated from the

A client who wants my unwavering submission.
What if I’m a horrible submissive? What if I fail?
Worst of all—what if I fall for the man I know I can’t have?
Protect your heart, Belle, I tell myself. Protect it when he smiles at you,
kisses you, binds you. Don’t let Dean Donahue have it, as tempted as you are to
surrender it.

Belle Bennet, escort. Darling Belle, sweet girl, on her knees, bound and
gagged, writhing in pleasure—or pain. The choice is mine.

Review
I had been missing me Liz Meldon's kind of kink.
Belle is an escort and is branching out into the sub world. Her first real go at it will be a two month 'vacation' with Dean on his private island for $250K. She is both excited and scared to explore that side of herself. But she is scared she will break the #1 rule: never fall in love with a client. After the past months getting to know Dean and working on their contract, she has come to care for him already and that's without the sex and emotional/powerful relationship between a dom and a sub. She can't wait to have him as her Dom though.
Once they get to the island it's all fun and games until Belle starts breaking rules. First it's one she can work on with his help and then it's one that can break everything they have worked on.
Dean is a billionaire who is in desperate need of a break from his chaotic and stressful life, dealing with his d*ck brother's mistakes both in the workplace and his personal life. Dean has his demons and when Belle breaks an important house rule, she brings back old and painful memories that Dean reacts to without thinking and that just might cause him his sub. But their bond is more powerful than they both realize and they work through every problem and obstacle they come across.
Watching these together in all the sweet moments, protecting each other, supporting each other, loving each other was amazing. And the kink got way more intense. Belle really flourished under Dean's hands.
These two needed each other in their lives to be their true selves and they were finally able to figure out what they needed out of life together. I loved watching their journey and watching them overcome their past, their fears, watching them become the person they were meant to be, and specially doing it together. Their relationship was much more than the kink, and I loved that.
Belle was actually a very sweet story, way beyond the Dom/Sub relationship. It's a story about allowing yourself to be true to who you really are, about knowing your worth and knowing when it's time to let go of things and people...and most of all a story about finding the right person for you, the one who helps you see life in a new light, who allows you to be yourself and loves you for everything that you are, good and bad.
Liz killed it once again. I love how she writes her kink but never forgets her romance. For me it's the perfect combo in a book like this. I truly enjoyed Belle and Dean so much and I cannot wait for Penny and Felix's duet.

snarky characters, babying her herb garden, loitering on social media, or
taking care of her furbabies.
Liz dabbles in both paranormal and contemporary erotic romance. Her paranormals
are usually dark and angsty, and her contemporaries are stress-free smutfests,
but you'll find both riddled with feels. Most of all, she loves writing
realistic characters in fantastical settings.
