Innocence Defied (NEW YORK #3) by Lainey Reese ~ Blog Tour and Giveaway

SYNOPSIS:


Gage Hollister is a Southern Dom looking for a full time sub/slave. When his family's business brings him to New York City for an indefinite stay, he decides that now is the time to find her. Night after night he prowls the local BDSM club in search of a woman whose need to be dominated equals his thirst for true submission. As the search drags on he begins to wonder if his perfect match even exists. When he is asked to play chaperone for a family friend embarking on her first trip as an adult; he welcomes the chance for distraction from his thus far fruitless endeavor.

Zoe Marshall is the youngest sister to Gage's best friend and she has been in love with Gage for as long as she can remember. She has saved herself for him and him alone. Now, after careful planning and a bit of luck she finally has her opportunity to show Gage that she's all grown up and ready to be his. Although he believes himself too old and jaded for an innocent like her, Zoe will not relent until she belongs to him in every way.

Soon Gage's resistance crumbles and Zoe's dreams become reality but their budding love is tested when her brother discovers them. As those bonds of friendship strain under betrayal and broken trust, Zoe is confronted with having to choose between the man she loves and the brother she worships. Will having the love of her man cost her the love of her family? If so, is her heart strong enough to survive that loss? Is their love?

Warning:
This book contains graphic language, BDSM elements, M/F/M ménage, a Southern Dom who's a gentleman; and the woman who brings out the scoundrel in him.


Review

3.5 Stars

Innocence Defied is the third book in this series that focuses on D/s relationships. Zoe, also known as "Oops", has been in love with her older brothers best friend, Gage, her entire life. She's innocent in every sense of the word, but has raunchy fantasies about Gage doing kinky things to her.

When she convinces her family to allow her to take her first trip to New York City by herself, she plans it perfectly so she can stay with Gage.

Gage hasn't made it back to visit his best friends family in a few years so he's excited when Oops is coming to visit. Remembering the little girl she was, he is beyond shocked to see the beautiful woman she's grown to be. Even more shocking is when she blatantly throws herself at him and professes her love. Wanting a full time slave he doesn't think innocent Zoe is ready for that.

Can she convince him she is all that he needs? And can her family accept the fact that she's grown up enough to be submissive to Gage?

This book was an easy, no brain necessary read. Perfect for a lazy day at the beach or lounging in bed. It kept me intrigued enough because it was full of hot sex but it didn't take too much thought as far as following the story line. It was very predictable but sometimes all a girl need is lots of hot, steamy sex to read about, right? I liked that we leaned what the characters from the first two books are up to, and they were intwined in the story some.

Overall, it was a good read if you're looking for something raunchy but not mind consuming. I didn't find it as interesting as the first two books so definitely start with those before reading this one!

AUTHOR BIO:

A note for my readers:
I write books that have very dominant men in them. The men in my books are fierce and controlling in the bedroom and overbearing and protective out of it. And the women never have anything to fear because the men would throw themselves in front of a bus before they'd let anything hurt their ladies..including themselves. I write fiction. In real life we need to be way more careful and choosey than my heroines are. Never give up your power or your body to anyone unless you have all the groundwork of safe words and real solid trust in place. Safe words are non-negotiable- No safe word? No way.

Now, as for me. I live in a tiny little place called Lake Stevens with my daughter, and our many pets. I'm an animal lover. Yup it's true. I am one of those people who lets the dog on the couch and has cat hair on her sweaters.

I've dreamed of writing since I was twelve and after the reception my first novel received I am kicking myself for not following that dream sooner. Since my first novel A Table for Three came out I have been a changed person. My childhood dream has come true and every day away from my computer feels like a waste. With the release of Damaged Goods I took a leap of faith and left the day job behind. Every day is a crazy adventure of second guessing my decision and wallowing in the joyful realization that "I don't have to go to work today!" A realization that I have NEVER had for longer than a week in my entire adult life.

Fate has smiled on me and I am now a full time author! My dreams are becoming a reality and I have you to thank. Thank you all for reading and reviewing (those reviews really make a difference). I hope that this is the start of a long and fabulous life together...you and me...I'll write and you read and together we'll make the world a steamy wonderful place!
