“I’ll be the match and the fire, Kitten. You run. I chase. You’re mine now. I won’t let you go.” With those words of warning, Penelope became the married possession of the most dangerous man she had ever met.
Just a few weeks earlier, Penelope had been Pip, a talented pickpocket surviving on the London streets, until the night she chose the wrong man to rob. Looking past the foul mouth and boyish garb, Lord Alex Evers saw a diamond in the rough, a defiant female in need of his special brand of discipline.
Penelope fights him every step of the way, unwilling to give up her independence or to submit to his demands, despite her attraction to the handsome lord. Will a trip over his knee for a well-deserved spanking change her mind?
MY THOUGHTS:
Penelope (who goes by the name Pip in the pretense of being a boy) lives as a pickpocket and has been surviving on her own for years. When she finds a wealthy man alone on the streets, he becomes her next target. But her plans take a sudden turn as she quickly finds herself in the hands of Lord Alex Evers, a man who would alter her life forever.
Alex has been spending all his life searching for a "little one" for him to love, cherish and to dominate. Years of loveless encounter with women and he still hasn't found a woman who would fully submit to him. Who would have thought that one night on the streets of London was all it took for him finally find her?
Despite the feisty lass' futile attempts to escape him as he caught her, nothing was stopping him from making her his and taking her to where she rightfully belongs. She would be his little one, he would make her submit to him in every way possible and he would never let her go.
"I am the match and the fire, Kitten." His tone fierce with barely leashed desire. "You run, I chase. You're mine now. I can't... I won't let you go."
Ms. Zoe Blake never disappoints when it comes to Victorian Age-play Erotic romance. I simply loved this book. I adore the characters and the plot itself and the writing is as breathtaking as ever. Penelope's strength and willingness to fight and her sassy mouth and feisty attitude were what made her a lot different compared to Emmie and Lily from the two previous books in the series. As usual, there were lots of smexin' anal play, spanking and domestic discipline in this book and I loved every detailed scenes of Penelope's punishment and submission.
The only thing that made me not rate this book 5 stars is that the scene towards the end was a bit abrupt. I wasn't fully satisfied with how this book ended, but it was still indeed an entertaining read. In my honest opinion, Ms. Zoe Blake is what every Age-Play authors out there shall aspire to be. Just simply outstanding. And I hope there's a next book in the series.
