San Francisco Longing (San Francisco Trilogy, Pt 1)
Lila Dubois
While checking out a building for demolition, Christiana Dell, a civil engineer, discovers a false wall. She breaks through to see what is on the other side. She goes through, almost like Alice falling down a rabbit hole. Christiana discovers a whole extravagant setup on the other side. As she walks around, she recognizes some things and not others. She soon realizes that she is in a makeshift BDSM club. Now comes the hard part, should she go and report what she’s found, or should she indulge in a fantasy? Christiana decides to stay and just watch. She dresses up as one of the submissives to blend in, worried the whole time she will be caught and thrown out. Then she sees him – James Nolen. James is rich and a Dom, a member of the Orchid Society, a travelling BDSM club, and he is also bored. Life has no challenges for him. Then he looks across the room and see Christiana and is immediately drawn to her. Christiana is a novice in this world. But she wants a chance to experience submission with James. James has only three nights with Christiana before the club shuts down. But will three days be enough?
This is Book 1 in a trilogy. I started reading it and couldn’t put it down. Both of these characters are interesting and come from diverse backgrounds. As the story develops, we see that James ends up with a new purpose, to win Christiana’s trust and submission. Christiana soon discovers another side of herself and enjoys it. She also begins to develop feelings for James as he does for her. As I read, I kept wondering if she would be discovered. Christiana feels she should tell James the truth of who she is but is afraid it will end their interaction. I also found James’s friend Jun another interesting character, This ends in a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to see what happens next to Christiana and James.
