Dear lord Laura Kaye, you naughty, naughty woman!! But, in the very best way. This book is so completely different than any that I have read by LK before, so I didn’t really know what to think going into it. But, she definitely did not disappoint.

I had no idea that Kyler was the kind of man he was. Meeting him and seeing him in the previous Hard Ink books gave me no indication that he was a Dom, or that he was so involved in the lifestyle that he was an actual Master at his own BDSM club! Who would’ve thought? I didn’t think any of these LK men could be as down and dirty as Marz (he was my favorite dirty birdie- mainly because it was so unexpected), but Marz has NOTHING on Kyler Vance. The man is like his own force of nature! The only downside that he possessed that I could see, was an incredible amount of self-doubt when it came to whether he could make things work with Mia. He was constantly feeling as though she needed better in her life, or that he couldn’t give her exactly what she needed, which was so unlike his dominant persona. There were so many times I wanted to smack him upside the head, or shake the crap out of him, so he could get his head out and see that all Mia needed or wanted- was him.

Now Mia, she threw me for a loop as well. I didn’t realize just how much some people need a certain lifestyle in order to truly be happy. But she most definitely required someone in her life that could allow her inner submissive to shine. I understand how, given her father’s profession and position in such, that it was difficult for her to find a long-standing partner in her life. The man that won Mia had to be a true Dom, both in and out of the bedroom, because that is what made Mia’s heart and soul sing. There was no other man that I could’ve thought better for that job than Kyler. These two were, as stated by one of the other Masters of Blasphemy, two sides of the same coin. Her light to his dark, his hard to her soft- equal halves of the same heart. So, it killed me to see how quickly and deeply she fell for Kyler, only to have him walk away when his head got the best of him. Luckily, his head eventually caught up to his heart and things worked out.

If there is one thing that I can say about this book, it’s that it was a complete surprise to me to see LK write this kind of story. A wonderful surprise though. So, if you are wondering whether you can get into a BDSM book written by Laura Kaye- trust me, you can! You will get so involved in these two that you’ll find yourself wanting more- more of the men that you meet in their book, and the women that may come along to bring them to their knees (even if they are Masters). You’re going to devour this one- just as I did. Luckily, LK’s new series is all about Blasphemy- and I cannot freaking wait!!

About HARD TO SERVE:

To protect and serve is all Detective Kyler Vance ever wanted to do, so when Internal Affairs investigates him as part of the new police commissioner’s bid to oust corruption, everything is on the line. Which makes meeting a smart, gorgeous submissive at an exclusive play club the perfect distraction…

The director of the city’s hottest art gallery, Mia Breslin’s career is golden. Now if only she could find a man to dominate her nights and set her body—and her heart—on fire. When a scorching scene with a hard-bodied, brooding Dom at Blasphemy promises just that, Mia is lured to serve Kyler again and again.

As their relationship burns hotter, Kyler runs into Mia at work and learns that he’s been dominating the daughter of the hard-ass boss who has it in for him. Now Kyler must choose between life-long duty and forbidden desire before Mia finds another who’s not so hard to serve.

Hands settled on her waist as she moved on the dancefloor. “You want him, Mia?”

She recognized the voice in her ear before she laid eyes on the speaker. And then she peered over her shoulder.

Master Kyler.

“Do you?” he asked, dark eyes absolutely blazing, his hands gripping her more firmly, his body moving behind hers.

She couldn’t pull away despite the chaos erupting in her brain—over the fact that he was here, over the feelings of relief, rightness, and heat rushing through her blood, over the fact that she didn’t want to feel anything at all, not if he didn’t want her back. “What if I do?” she called over the music.

“You don’t,” he gritted out, tugging her back against him, his cock hard against her lower back. His hands slid upward, inch by slow inch, until they were right beneath her breasts and she ached for him to grab her there. Their bodies moved together, falling into a shared rhythm.

The music changed, the song erupting into an arousing, driving beat that conjured up images of sweaty bodies and twisted sheets. The dancefloor went wild. The man with the nice smile and nicer moves offered her a little bow, his gaze flashing to Kyler behind her, before fading away into the press of bodies.

She whirled in Master Kyler’s embrace. But, no, he wasn’t her Master, was he? “You don’t get to tell me what I do or don’t want.”

His arms banded around her and his hands moved over her back, holding her close, staking a claim. At least, that’s how it felt. But she didn’t trust it.

“Maybe I don’t,” he said, hauling her into him, his thigh pushing between hers, forcing her flowy skirt up to bare more of her legs. The way he moved—the way he moved her—had her brain thinking about all the other times he’d been between her legs, thrusting, grinding, penetrating. Her core clenched at the frustratingly light friction, wanting more, needing more. Of him. “But what if I’d like to have a say?”

What the hell did that mean? She pushed at his chest. His closeness made it too hard to think. But he wouldn’t let her go. “Mast—” She shook her head, exasperated and overwhelmed. “Kyler, what are you even doing here?”

Blue eyes blazing, his expression was full of that intensity she loved. He leaned his mouth to her ear. “Bachelor party. Was on the way out when I saw you. The others just left. I told them I’d catch up.”

She frowned. “Why…why did you do that?”

His got right in her face, their hips grinding together as he guided them, his erection obvious against her. “Because the woman I can’t stop thinking about is here.”
