Dirty Bad Wrong by Jade West
4.0
Read for ByoB
I need to start by saying this book has the best warning EVER and Ms. West puts it right out there for you. This book is not for the faint of heart, it pushes all of the boundaries and everyone of my "hard limits." It is filled with debauchery and smoking hot hardcore BDSM. The book is dirty, it is bad and it is all sorts of wrong. But beyond that it is the story of Lydia Marsh.
Lydia's life was running along very nicely until it all fell apart. Her perfect ideas and dreams were shattered in a moments notice. She is a private person, with a tough outer shell. When her perfect little world crumbles new friends and eye-opening experiences will show her that suburbia and white picket fences are not all they cracked up to be. During her fall-out she winds up somewhat confiding in James, a co-worker with an equally tight lid on his private life. Lydia becomes totally intrigued by this man, who gives her nothing of himself. Then there is Masque...a man so dirty, so bad, so wrong, he is so right. And exactly what Lydia needs. She needs someone strong enough to break her and break her he will.
"Maybe white knights did turn up to slap your clitoris after all?"
James and Masque don't know quite how to handle Lydia. James keeps his personal and professional life as far away from each other as possible. Being burned once was enough for him and getting too close to someone is not in the cards. He keeps his distance, but mistakes happen...a lot of mistakes happen. Masque lets no one get close to his heart, he lives to give pain and relishes in what it does to his willing participants. He is a beast that no one will tame.
Beyond the eroticism (and there was a lot of it) this was about becoming strong and allowing yourself to break free. I talked about this book constantly while I was reading it because really I didn't know what to do with some of it. It pushed me out of my comfort zone on more than one occasion but I just couldn't put it down. I was intrigued by what was going to happen next and wanted to know how the players were going to work their issues out.
"Breaking isn't weak it's strong."
