Wrapped Around Your Finger

Tyler wraps up her intensely erotic BDSM trilogy with this searing tale of sex, submission, and seduction, leaving readers with more questions (and more true, messy, real-life emotions) than ever before. Samantha is an erotica writer whose need for submission drives her. She's found herself the perfect Dom in Jack, the stoic lawyer who knows exactly how best to torment her, and who sows chaos and complication in her personal life to ensure that she'll never grow complacent. The two have a partnership that many in the vanilla world consider extreme or even abusive, but a peek into Samantha's mind and heart reveals someone who thrives on submission, and whose relationship is both consensual and safe, if often challenging. Less satisfying is the plot, which revolves around Jack's craving for non-monogamy but almost entirely omits mention of his other lover, Alex. Even fans of kinky alpha males will find Jack a bit cold and distant, but those with a taste for power exchange will be rewarded. (Oct.)
