Congratulations to Lori B., Nancy B., 

Meredith M., Faye G., and Linda P.,

winners of my ebook, Tempestuous. 

Happy reading, ladies! 

Tempestous

 

Once a woman’s deepest, darkest desires have been exposed—whetting her appetite for taboo pleasures of the flesh—her unquenchable hungers will not be denied.

 

Floggers and whips
Chains and leather restraints
Erotic rewards and punishments…oh my!

 

Seduced by erotic stories and the forbidden lure of Dominance and submission, Evie Sloan longs to explore the scintillating delights firsthand. While some fantasies are better left to the imagination, for the chance to visit a real BDSM club, she’s willing to take a risk.

 

Been there, done that, seen it all—or so jaded Dominant Niko Kovalenko thought. Evie’s arrival on the scene reawakens long dormant passions and ramps them up to a whole new level. She’s an exciting challenge—a dangerous temptation—igniting the compulsion to posses. To collar.

 

Evie is no man’s submissive pet. Niko stripped her bare, shed light on all her secret desires and weaknesses, but it’s still not enough for him. To win her man she’ll have to confront her fears and find a way to bridge the distance between them.

The story behind the book:
Imagine this if you will. Its early morning and you are a night person who hasn’t had your first cup of coffee. You’re at a conference, standing in the breakfast buffet line at the hotel when an acquaintance you know is a Dominant comes up behind you and whispers in your ear.

“We have an open spot tonight. You want in?”

The “oh holy crap” chorus echoing in your head comes along with a vivid slideshow of what a Dom could possibly mean when offering you a “spot.” A spot tied to a St. Andrews cross or some other device? A spot on a spanking bench?

Sometimes having an imaginative mind is a curse. Needless to say, a caffeine jolt is not longer needed because you are now wide awake and fully alert. This actually happened to me a few years ago.

So you are probably wondering what the Dom was offering. Two friends and I were invited to visit and observe at a private BDSM club with the Dom and his sub/wife. We even got to check the place out before it opened for the night. Score!

Being able to experience the club before scenes were conducted gave me a greater comfort level. Knowing that I was under the protection of a Dom I trusted helped a lot too. But talk about questions. My mind buzzed with a million of them from having read many wickedly delicious erotic BDSM tales.

The Dom who invited us, along with the Dom who owned the club, demonstrated fire flogging, a violet wand and knife play. They allowed us to try wielding a whip and check out the collection of canes and other toys. The truly brave among us even tried out the stocks and other devices to get a feel for being restrained. Once the club opened and members arrived, we were permitted to roam around and observe a variety of scenes.

The inspiration for Tempestuous came from that club visit. In fact, much of Evie’s first trip to club Rendezvous came from my walk on the wild side. Many of the questions popping into her head were ones I had, as was most of what Evie experienced. During the fire flogging demo, I held fire in my hand. I now know the tingling touch of the violet wand, the heart-pounding sensation of wickedly sharp knives sliding over my throat and arms and the sting of a whip.

My trip to the club was truly one of the most amazing, thrilling, exciting nights of my life! For me, that’s where the experience ended and my creativity kicked in. No, I did not meet a hunky, rich Dom like Niko or turn into a tempestuous brat and get spanked (darn it).

Oh, and speaking of the very delicious hero, Niko. He was inspired by a real life hunk straight from the pages of PlayGirl. Oh yes, ladies, he’s real, although I have no idea if he’s a Dominant, regardless of what my imagination insists.

Tempestuous "Will Keep You On The Edge Of Your Seat"

Susan’s Review:
"Where, oh where, is Niko Kovalenko when you need him? One hot Dominant male enters submissively curious Evie’s world and it will never be the same. Attending a BDSM conference out of curiosity, led Evie to meet a practicing Dominant/Submissive couple who take her under their wing. Heading off to a mysterious club in town, they invite her knowing full well she won’t be able to resist the temptation.
"And that is where all of the fun begins! Within seconds of entering the hotel lobby to meet the group, Evie runs into the quiet, reserved, desirable, and dangerously sexy Niko. He is blown away by his reaction to her and knows she will be under his spell and body soon. His character was palpable, his actions and reactions in total alignment with the powerful man he is. Women flock at his feet and he gives his attention to whomever he pleases. At the moment, Evie is the object of his desires…. and man, does he have desires!
"I loved Evie’s innocence and determination to learn about what was causing her insides to tingle. Her rookie mistakes at the club were perfect as they showed the true spunky person that she was deep inside. Watching her unveil the woman underneath was a delight as Nicole Austin skillfully wove an erotic tale of discovery of one’s true self. Tempestuous will keep you on the edge of your seat as you experience Niko, a man like no other."
