In a surprising move, Carmen bids on a weekend of pampering and personal pleasure from Carl. She thinks it may just be the small perk she needs after the recent troubles life has thrown at her. Carmen isn't expecting sex, it's not in the agreement. But a weekend of being waited on by a gorgeous man is definitely worth the money. Except, the attraction simmers between them. Will Carmen discover more about herself than she ever thought possible during her weekend with Carl? Will this weekend open the door for new possibilities?

Charming Carmen is sexy and very captivating. Here, the woman is the Domme. Carl is the submissive and it makes a nice departure from the other Incognito stories. Carmen is a woman on the brink of discovery throughout this story. She learns new facets about her personality, her sexual tastes, and her desire for control. She is a strong woman but has only recently discovered those strengths. For Carl's part, he sees a woman on the brink of something and he wants to be a part of it. It is not easy for him to leave his comfort zone, the pretenses he has put up for so long, but he does it for Carmen and for the chance of something wonderful between them. I have to say, the ending in particular was pure grace and emotion. I felt Carl and Carmen did a great job of handling themselves and this story ended on a very high note but not necessarily the clichéd marriage and babies ending. Carl and Carmen are only just discovering each other and their own personalities to an extent, and this book welcomes that discovery with fluid prose, smart love scenes, and two characters that leave indelible impressions.
