Enter a decadent sensual world where gorgeous alpha males are pleasure slaves committed to fulfilling a woman's every desire. At the elite Honey club, no boundary will be left untested, and one's darkest desires will become a sensual reality.

Olivier isn’t sure what he’s gotten himself into when he joins the Honey Club, only that a dark part of him craves the lifestyle offered by this secret, exclusive club.

When Amèlie invites Olivier to surrender, she pushes him to explore his deepest desires as a submissive. As they grow closer and find themselves falling harder than either of them anticipated, the truth about Olivier’s past could threaten the budding relationship they both long for.

Gripping and seductive, The Deep End is the first book in a sensational new series from bestselling author Kristen Ashley.

MY RATE

"I've lost control. I paddle, but you're too strong. But I gotta trust your flow, 'cause boy, I'm in your waterfall."

Have you ever linked a song out of nowhere to a book and then having it on repeat on your mind while reading it? No? I'm the only one? Well, I have done a lot of times in the past, but I am really pleased to say that this song goes along this book lines. These two characters, Oliver and Amèlie, lost control of their feeling and the only thing they could do was trust their own flow. See how the song connected?

I have read almost all the books that Kristen Ashley has published in her life, what can I say... I am a really big fan of her stories and writing. It was really good news when she said she was going to publish a book of the BDSM world. She writes so well that there was no way I was not going to like it. I couldn't be more correct. I loved every page in it, every word and sentiment.

In the past, I have read other types of BDSM books, but all of them the Dom was him, but now, in this book, the Domme was her. I couldn't be more thrilled. Amèlie, aka Leigh, is the perfect character of my likings, I swear. She's badass, people show her respect without even knowing her, she's sweet and caring, but overall that she's a dominatrix, which makes her the "boss". In the other hand, you got Oliver, aka Olly, and he is in the receiving end. He's a sub, but he's an alpha too, which makes things very interesting and a whole lot better for me. I picture my men like him, tall, brute and alpha, but with a whole lot of tenderness and sweet inside. These two couldn't be more a better match. Kristen did her job well.

The story goes around these two meeting each other and finding their own flow in this type of life. Leigh is a pro in what she does, but Olly still a rookie in their play. Everything they meet, they keep going deeper and deeper in themselves, so it was super perfect that they ended up together. Everything together for these two. She's ice-cold to touch, but he is blazing heat from a look. ::Sighs:: They are perfect, perfect, I am telling you.

"I needed you to try me. I needed you to push me. I needed from you what you said you needed from a sub. I needed you to break me. I needed someone to throw me in the deep end and force me to lean how to swim. But I needed to do that knowing she was right there to pull me to the surface. And you were right there, Leigh, now pulling me to the surface. Leading me up and forcing me to surf a fucking killer goddamned wave."

I loved this whole new flip of a coin of this author and I am prepared to read more of this. I cannot wait to read a whole series that she might be preparing while I write this review. I just hope that's true and that it comes out sooner rather than later. If you like BDSM, you should definitely read this book.

PS, the song from way above is Waterfall, by Stargate ft. P!nk and Sia. You can find more about my music here.
