A Story of Sexual Obsession
Lily: I should never have agreed to it. A woman will do a lot to keep her husband happy. But when my husband sells me to the highest bidder—billionaire, former Navy SEAL, pride of Boston’s business scene—I agree, not to keep him happy but because it gives me the chance to finally escape. Escape my marriage, escape my debts, escape my life …
Josh Lane demands a steep price: my pride and my morals. But the truth is, I’ve never felt anything like what I feel for him. He brings color into my gray world. And his insistence that I submit to his commands—his depraved, filthy, amazing commands—only feeds my craving to be taken by him. Again. And again. I should never have agreed to it, but I’m so glad I did.
Josh: I don’t need to pay to keep women in my bed. Though my preferences may be unorthodox, I never leave a woman unsatisfied—far from it. Lily Boswell, though … her innocence draws me, her secrets intrigue me. Having her is worth dealing with her cowardly scum of a husband.
I want to release her passions and heal her wounds .On my terms. Because the blindfolds and restraints hide more than she could imagine. I must keep her safe from the people who would destroy me—and the demons that haunt my dreams.

Review:
This risqué romp is more than worth the time it took to create, edit, and publish! I was so intrigued, I thought I’d become a sexy spy. I absolutely LOVE Josh and all his hang-ups, demands, and naughtiness; and for the record – I have absolutely no shame!
When I thought the sex scenes couldn’t burn any hotter, the flames would spike; and the best part? The plot, the characters, the action! Take your pick. I choose them all.
A former Navy SEAL, Josh is organized, demanding, and trustworthy. He lives his life by military rules, and he has no problem demanding – and expecting- what he wants. Lily is quite the opposite, but beneath her soft exterior lies a vixen, and before Josh can count the bullets in his gun, he’s hooked. Of course he has trouble verbally expressing that, but talk isn’t the only form of communication. Lily is a talker, but she quickly- albeit reluctantly- learns his favorite form of communication. The characters are well-developed, as is their relationship, and I would love to read more about them. Even their initial attraction was more than just physical; the cute-meet kicking off a tantalizing read.
Amman, Mac, and Baez grabbed and held on to my attention just as much as the H/H. Secondary characters is too mild of a description. I loved these guys! There’s also some mystery – a who’s-trying-to-dun-it, if you will. So my mind was just busy all the way around. There was not one boring moment. And the dialogue? Expert!
Del Mar didn’t disappoint. I read the Asset, so I was already aware of her capabilities, and this just confirmed her skills! Kudos, and more Kudos!
Rating system: Cups of Coffee (the less the better)
0: You won’t need any coffee to stay up for this one. It’s intriguing enough all on its own.
1: You’ll stay up late, but not all night. Brew one cup.
2: You’ll read as long as you’re not tired. If you are, two cups should do the trick.
3: I hope you got plenty of rest; you’ll need it, or at least 3 cups.
4: If the cable goes out, read the book. It’s better than nothing, I guess. Oh, don’t forget your brew!
5: Find anything else to do- it doesn’t matter what it is. Don’t waste your coffee. Too much caffeine is bad for you.
My rating: 0 cups of coffee

I stopped by to thank you so much for featuring At the Brink in your blog. Thank you especially for your kind review. I’m thrilled you enjoyed At the Brink and, although I love coffee, I’m glad you didn’t need it to read the novel. 🙂
Haha! I really didn’t. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Josh is just….ahhhhh! 🙂 You really did a great job! Kudos!!
