Kelsey meets Nathan when she goes into work one morning. He’s her very unexpected new boss. Nathan is a strong character who does nothing but work. He goes to the club when he needs stress relief and revigorated. But he has met his match with Kelsey. She’s a head strong determined woman who hopes one day to be the boss of a good company. This is a very well written story that keeps you interested throughout the complete book. It’s based on BDSM so be warned there will be some scenes in the book. There’s a lot of sexual activity going on with some very hot spankings and candle wax play to get started on. This is one hot scene after another type of book so you will stay excited throughout it. Now I’m off to find more Donovan brothers to read about. I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

My Review:
Warning! Warning! Yup, there are warnings everywhere on this book. On the cover, in the summary, inside the first couple of pages. Even here, in my review. Yes, this book definitely requires a warning about explicit sex. And not just sex, but anal sex and sex "toys". This is about as steamy as it gets.

The story line holds up to all the sex, though. Yeah, there really is a story line here. It's the one where the corporate shark takes over her company and she has to decide whether she wants to play the game or take it somewhere else. It's quite well done and well integrated with the sex games.

The characters are well written and interact quite well. Both have strong drives to succeed and like to be in the know and in charge. I think I might have liked to see one of the older brothers drop into the book perhaps to see another side of the boss. But that didn't happen. I may have to read the first two books in the series to get a line on them. I have to wonder if those books have the same warnings!

If you like your morning coffee really hot and with a lot of spice, this is a read for you. Contains sexually explicit content only suitable for mature readers. Don't say I didn't warn you or recommend this book to you! Get your copy Thursday, May 4th when it's released!

Nathan and Kelsey. I wanted more from this book. While I agree the steam and sex scenes were off the chart the story lacked a plot line, unlike the other two. I just felt it was weaker in the plot substance.
I liked Kelsey well enough, Nathan was doable. For me Kelsey carried the book.
This was a quick and fun read and if you're looking for steamy panty melting sex from a Donovan then this is the book for you! Sierra always delivers!

Kelsey is a serious hard worker for a company that gets taken over by The Donovans. Nathan Donovan in particular. Kelsey is very independent and has earned the respect from the male orientated business she is in. Nathan is a rule follower and a Dominate. Nathan has Kelsey become his assistant while he takes over the company she's worked for since she was an intern. Kelsey decides to finally have a life outside of work and a friends hooks her up with a BDSM club where low and behold Nathan is a member. He's not going to let anyone else become her Dom. They negotiate for one week and its just the beginning. I've only read one other book by Ms. Cartwright and needless to say I'm going back for more of her work. She tells a great story while at the same time keeping the heat on high!

This is the third book in the Donovan series and it just gets better, more sexy and hotter than the previous two books. It's all about Nathan who is the and Kelsey who's business he takes over. There is a lot going on in this book, with the personal journey they both go on together. The BDSM is super hot between them and how far there relationship grows within the book that makes this a fantastic read and fabulous story to read. I can't wait for more from this series and author. You can relate and get to know the characters which takes it from a good book to a fantastic book. Was very well written and easy to get into an keeps a hold to the end but leaves you wanting more which any great book should. Would recommend this book to everyone and have left a review on Amazon.co.uk.

'Boss' By Sierra Cartwright is book Three in " The Donovan Dynasty" series. This is the story of Kelsey and Donovan. I have read the previous books but this can be a standalone book.
Kelsey doesn't do relationship commitments but she is a hard worker who is an asset to the company she works for. But then it gets taken over by Donovan and she is attracted to him...and he to her. So they talk about having a 1 week affair where he can introduce her to his sexual lifestyle. Kelsey goes forward in this agreement but will she have issue when the time frame is over? Will Donovan be able to walk away too? "My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read."

Boss, is a very erotic romance book. One thing I noticed and liked was how Nathan was referred to as Boss, not The Boss, just Boss. Made him feel more approachable. There are a lot of BDSM kinks, a little bit for all comfortable levels I thought. The toe clamps were a new idea for me. Never heard of that, might have to try it.

Kelsey is determined to make her own decisions in life. When her overbearing boss approaches Kelsey with a special request, she can't help but to admit her curiosity is peeked. After all she has been researching the subject as of late. One thing she must remember is that she cannot fall in love with him.

Nathan wants Kelsey. His goal is to get her to submit to him as his submissive for a week, Surely that will be enough time for him to get her out of his system. But as the week progress and he finds himself crossing lines with her that he as never crossed before, and when he decides he wants to keep her he is stunned to have her turn him down. Now he must find a way to convince Kelsey that all he wants is her and her love.

Kelsey Lane gets the shock of her life when she reports to work one Monday and realizes her boss is no longer there and the company she loves and works for has been taken over by Donovan Industries. The Donovan’s have a reputation around Texas and the youngest Donovan just happens to be her new boss. His extremely arrogant and unfortunately hot and sexy as hell; and there’s no denying the attraction the two have for each other.
This book was nothing like what I thought it would be. While there were things I liked about this book, there were many things that didn’t work for me. Unfortunately the things that didn’t work out-weighed the things that did. First I didn’t realize it was a BDSM storyline, not that there is anything wrong with that because I read those storylines, it’s just that based on the description, it wasn’t what I was expecting. My struggles might have because I hadn’t read the first two books in the series but I’m not one hundred percent convinced it would have made a difference. Second the inconsistencies with both Kelsey and Nathan made it difficult to follow her at times.
Kelsey’s curiosity for BDSM and the club Deviation seems to appear out of nowhere. Then she learns that her new boss, Nathan, is a member of the club and Nathan realizes she has an interest, he offers to be her introduction into this world. This is when it just gets weird for me. I understand that Nathan is a “Dom” but he just takes over everything…her work life, her personal life. I understand a “Dom” takes over but Nathan just took over too much for me. As for Kelsey, I guess one of her struggles was to determine if she was a true “Sub” or not. One moment she was head strong then next she was submissive. Since the two worked together I just assumed there would be a separation between work and play but there didn’t seem to be. There was also the timeline, things just moved way too fast for me. Everything takes place basically within a week. I think had the timeline been stretched out a bit more it would have worked better for me. Too often things just seemed a little to scattered in this story.
I’m going to give the first two books a try and hopefully they will help with this book. Just because this book didn’t work for me doesn’t mean it’s not worth a read.

While not for every reader, this book will appeal to readers who enjoy stories with a D/s storyline.

Unrealistic. Would he really tell her on the first day that he knew she was a sub, really. Predictable, rushed ending

I loved reading the outstanding and spellbinding erotic romance by the fabulously talented Sierra Cartwright. I received an advanced reading copy from Totally Entwined Group Publishing through NetGalley.
Kelsey Lane's new boss is none other than the multimillionaire sexy, Nathan Donovan. Kelsey is interested in going to an exclusive kinky club with her friend and when Nathan finds out, he offers to become her Dom for one week. Sparks, attraction, and feelings ignite between Kelsey and Nathan that make the week an unforgettable experience for both of them.
Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written full of romance and erotic scenes, and a must read love story of Nathan and Kelsey.

This is the first book I have read by Kelly jamieson! Marco and carrie get thrown together due to their friends being a couple. There is tension from the couple from the onset and fee unworthy of each other. They must overcome their own insecurities to find their happily ever after!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it can easily be read as a standalone. I read the first in the series quite a while ago, so I really didn't remember anything, but had no issues following events in this book. Why? Because this book is all about Nathan and Kelsey, with a pinch of other people a couple of times, but other than that, completely focused on our couple - wondrous! Oh, and Nathan's watch, aka, Julien Bonds

Nathan is very much used to having things kept in their boxes and no overlaps. He prides himself on separation and running things smoothly. Kelsey completely throws that off for him, and he doesn't know what to do with it, but he goes with it, because his instincts are always right, right?

Kelsey decided long ago how her life would go, and she is not deviating from that path, even for her new, dynamic, controlling, boss. Everything about him tells her to turn away, but everything in her wants to go right to him and submit

As they explore a BDSM relationship, neither is all that successful on keeping lines drawn, as it spills into every part of their lives when they are together. Nathan couldn't be more happy with the way things are going, he is falling, and falling deep for Kelsey. Everything she does, everything she is, is perfect for him. Kelsey is falling as well, but worried about what it will do with her plans and life

There is a catalyst, but it is late in the book, and quickly resolved. It really did shock me, and I didn't see it coming, but was happy with how it was handled. Needless to say, I loved this book and these characters, and didn't want to stop reading once I started!

These two start out contentious boss and employee, but that doesn't last long. Chocolate cake and a discussion about submission, boundaries are crossed, and a relationship ensues. Then worlds collide and their D/s relationship makes for some hot sex scenes. This was an enjoyable read. These two had to figure it all out in order to make it work, but they do eventually get their HEA. I liked that she didn't easily back down to him, except in the bedroom. He gave her what they both needed. He constantly pushes her to say what she needs, so he can give it to her. He falls in love with her before he realizes it.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Kelsey Lane goes to work on a typical Monday morning, expecting it to be like every other work day. When Kelsey left the office on Friday, she worked for Newman Inland Marine which was now Donovan Logistics. She never in a million years expected a man like Nathan Donovan or all the changes that he brought along with him.

Immediately, Nathan is completely fascinated with Kelsey. She was not intimidated easily and he is very attracted to her. Kelsey is not a fan of overbearing men and usually runs the other way, but something about Nathan leaves her intrigued.

Kelsey and her friend Andi have decided to go to a BDSM club called Deviation. Unfortunately for her, Nathan’s brother Connor was notified and he in turn called Nathan. Kelsey had no idea, until now, that Nathan is a Dom. Nathan wants to put all of it on the table for discussion with Kelsey. Nathan takes it upon himself to teach her all about BDSM and so the fun begins.

As Kelsey shares her dreams with Nathan, he doesn’t thoroughly hear her. He focused on dominating her when all she truly wanted from him was real love with no expectations or limits. Now the race is on for Nathan to let Kelsey know he heard her, loud and clear.

We’ve all read some books with a BDSM story line and there is almost always a portrayal of a uniformed and virginal woman. This is totally not the case in this story. Kelsey interest in BDSM completely thrills Nathan and surprises him at every turn. It was nice to read a story about a women who knew what she liked and didn’t act timid and shy. A definite change of pace!

The chemistry between Nathan and Kelsey was outstanding! It was immediate and intense. Kelsey seemed to give Nathan her trust, and a little bit of sass, right away.

The sex scenes in this book are extremely hot. There is a lot of role play, a BDSM club, anal play, toys, etc. I felt it was all tastefully written, however, it may not be for some readers.

I also enjoyed the fact that Kelsey knew exactly what she wanted out of life. She was a smart, strong willed woman who walked away when she knew it just wasn’t for her. It was also nice to see the man being the one to have to figure out what he wants in life!

Sierra Cartwright is a first for me. I have not read anything by her prior to this and I have got to say that I love this book! It was wonderful to read about a woman who knew exactly what she wanted and would not budge on her morals.

I will definitely be reading the entire Donovan Dynasty Series!
