Story synopsis.
DL is a broken man. He ruined the relationship he had, and, as a consequence, escaped to try to heal in a far-off land. While drinking himself into a stupor most days, he battles with his inner demons to find a meaning to his life. Out of nowhere, a chance visitor intruding on his seclusion brings him a new focus on life, and the process of healing begins.

Unbeknown to him, Lady J is determined to find him, and has set in motion a world-wide hunt with the aid of Sato the Yakuza boss.

While he enjoys the peace and calm with his new companion, the forces of Der Unterworld get ever closer. Eventually they locate him, and he knows that hiding is no longer an option. To return to his old life means sacrificing his new-found happiness, but it doesn't stop him from going to find out if he has truly been reborn.

His return is treated as a great event within the community, and he sets about reforming everything about the Alternative Lifestyle he heads. He comes into contact with an enigmatic Priestess, who, not only feeding his passions, brings another element that he decides will be incorporated within the changes. Using the Grand Ball as his setting, he once again creates a marvel to enthral his followers, but will it also bring him the one thing he is craving?

Poison Ivy's Review 
Reborn: The Final Chapter
The Darkside Saga Book Six

Let me start out by saying that The DarkSide Saga is one of the most erotic and darkest book series I've ever read. It all begins with the introduction of the Dark One himself, Gabriel Douglas but known throughout the LifeStyle as DL (Dark Lord). The journey through DL's life is one like no other.

He is a dark man. A man that carries his dominance with great pride. A man who knows what he wants and doesn't hesitate to take it. But behind this man, this Lord of all in this LifeStyle, is a man seeking his true place on the throne but from deep within his soul.

Throughout the Saga, DL is challenged by Lady Fate. His heart, his love, his hunger for  his lady loves are put to the test with results that will leave you in shock.  Loyalties broken due to greed and power of others. New loves collared. Old bonds stronger. Self-destruction that goes farther than anyone could ever imagine.

What is it that Lady Fate has in store for DL?

Reborn: The Final Chapter brings DL's life into a rebirth, not only a rebirth of his Lordship but a rebirth of his soul. Wow, this last chapter was just fantastic. The new characters, the introduction of a Priestess, the new love, and the return of the Grand Ball.

I do believe DL was reborn in this last book. There was a piece that fell right where it belonged. I gasped in that very shocking moment and the tears flowed. I felt the emotion that oozed through the words written. A beautiful ending that also left me smiling. DL stayed true to who and what he is but you saw a growth of understanding of it all in the end.

Author Douglas Vaughan is a magnificent writer. The great amount of detail written about the historical buildings, history in itself, the character description of emotion and OH MY GOODNESS the erotic scenes, will just leave you breathless. I didn't want it to end but at one point all great things must come to an end.

I personally read the first five books in the saga in about a week. I couldn't stop reading. The story is addicting in a great way. Once you thought it couldn't get any better...BAM it does. The wait for Reborn was tortures for a fangirl like me but well worth the wait. DL's journey may be over but the writing of his creator Douglas Vaughan is here to stay.

 Reborn is deserving of more than just 5 🌟 so I give it all the stars in the galaxy.

Well done, Sir Douglas!



Have you met DL yet? It's time you both became acquainted with one another.  Meet DL and a couple of his DarkSide members Nicole, Christopher, Lady J, Fire-Minx, Elsa and more. Step into the dark erotic world of the alternative lifestyle.

Release Blitz: Surrender to Me by Claire Thompson

           

             

Surrender to Me

By Claire Thompson

 

Let the erotic pain lift you into its arms. Surrender to it. Surrender to me.

 

Rylee Miller, independent, strong and in control, seeks intensity of experience in all things. She craves hardcore sadomasochism and believes erotic suffering is just another challenge to be overcome. 

 

Taggart Fitzgerald, aka Leather Master, is a world-class whip and leather-gear craftsman. A highly skilled and sexy Dom, he’s also a brooding, intense and self-contained man. He takes what he wants from women, keeping his heart firmly out of the equation.

 

When they meet on a video shoot for BDSMConnections, their intense, visceral connection stuns them both. The Leather Master is intrigued by Rylee’s staunch assertion she’s not a submissive. Is she lying to him—or just to herself?  Or maybe she has never learned to truly surrender. 

 

 With Taggart’s dominant, sadistic side and Rylee’s sensual, masochist mindset, they should be the perfect pair. But accepting her true nature may not be easy when the Dom she’s falling for is a man so damaged by a past filled with pain that he’s unable to trust in love. Or maybe it’s that he has never learned to surrender to his heart.

 

Editor’s Note: Surrender to Me, Book Two of BDSM Connections, is a full-length, stand-alone story. The series may be read in any order.

           

             

Excerpt: 

 

The first stroke landed on her ass. Unlike the sensual flogging, the whip cut across her skin like a blade, leaving a line of fire in its wake.

Rylee hissed her pain. She still managed to keep the chain between her teeth, and saliva drooled down her chin. Her heart was pounding so loudly she was sure Taggart could hear it. 

The whip snaked out once more, its tail curling cruelly over both ass cheeks so that the tip bit into the thin skin stretched over her hipbone.

Despite her best intentions, Rylee’s mouth opened of its own accord, and she screamed, the chain falling away.

Taggart appeared in front of her. “Focus, R. You can do better.”

Tears blurring her eyes, Rylee nodded. 

He lifted the chain that hung between her now completely numb nipples and touched her lips with it. 

Rylee forced herself to open her mouth. Taggart pushed the chain onto her tongue, and Rylee closed her teeth over the wet, metal links. 

She tried to keep her eyes on the image of his face in the mirror as the whip licked over her ass and the backs of her thighs. 

It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts.

Why had she thought she wanted this? How could she possibly endure any more?

Even as these rebellious thoughts crashed into her brain, she became aware of the deep, urgent tug of pure, raw desire deep in her sex.

More, more, more.

As her skin adjusted to the fiery onslaught of the whip, she became calmer. She hadn’t realized she’d risen on her toes, but she now made a conscious effort to lower her feet until they were once more flat on the ground. 

Behind her, Taggart nodded approvingly, sending a rush of warmth through her soul.

He put down the whip and picked up the leather paddle. Though Rylee knew from experience a paddle could pack a serious wallop, she was at the point where, in spite of her fear, or perhaps partially because of it, she was primed and ready to receive its leather slap.

Or so she had thought.

The first strike covered the entire surface area of her ass in one savage blow. Pain exploded like stars, knocking the breath from her lungs and the chain from her mouth. 

He struck again, the force of the thrust pushing her body forward as her heart crashed into her ribs.

She screamed.

Again and again the paddle pounded against her flesh, reverberating in her bones. 

She could hear herself whimpering and knew she was dancing and twisting on her toes, but was completely powerless to control herself. Yet, no matter how much she flailed and cried, she couldn’t escape the relentless pounding of the all-encompassing paddle.

Above the thumping crash of her heart, she heard Taggart’s deep, gravelly voice. “Let go. Let the pain flow through you. Let it lift you into its arms. Do it for me, R. Surrender to me.”

His words penetrated her trembling panic like a flame shining into the darkness. 

All at once, she was enveloped in a velvety, encompassing warmth. 

Her body stilled, her feet lowering of their own accord to the floor, her clenched fists unfurling above her bound wrists. Her head was heavy, too heavy to support and she let it fall back, her lips parting, her eyes closing.

“Yes,” Taggart breathed behind her. “That’s it, R. You’re almost there.”

The paddle nearly lifted her from the ground with its force, but the pain had gone. Or not gone precisely, but transformed into something loftier and more rarefied than simple erotic pain.

Rylee felt at once heavy and light. Her feet were planted firmly on the ground, her muscles no longer twitching, her heart beating in a slow, steady rhythm like the pounding of the funeral drum. At the same time, she was as light as air, as if her spirit were hovering above her body. It was a lightness of being, of freedom so absolute she thought she might float away altogether, were it not for the rope and Taggart’s deep, steady voice keeping her tethered to reality.

“Yes,” he urged. “That’s it. You’re there. I can feel it too. I’m with you. Don’t be afraid to let go. I’ll keep you safe.”

She became aware the paddling had stopped, but her spirit continued to soar on wings of pure and utter peace.

Taggart’s arms encircled her from behind. He touched the clamps that still held her numb nipples tight in their grip. 

“Stay where you are. Don’t let this distract you.”

Two small explosions of pain at her nipples nearly jerked her from the heavens, but Taggart’s hands immediately covered and cupped her breasts, his lips brushing the side of her neck in a sweet, caressing kiss, and the pain ebbed away like a half-forgotten dream.
