| Brad and Marc have the hots for their coworker. In fact, both of them see her as their perfect submissive in their fantasies. The difference is that Brad thinks it could be a reality while Marc is convinced he's crazy. Marc figures if she stepped into the BDSM lifestyle, it would be as a dominant because of her tendency to control. But they both realize that they have to at least try and find out if she'd be interested, and the card they found for 1-800-DOM-HELP was the in they'd been looking for. When Lori finds the card in her in box, she's convinced it's a practical joke. But when she finds it again in her briefcase at home, the idea starts to build that maybe this is what she's been missing. In fact, the more she thinks on it the more convinced she is that she can't even bear the thought of another boring lover. But what will she do when she finds out it's not as anonymous as she thought it all would be? And that Brad and Marc are even looking towards a future for the three of them?
This was a fun book. I really enjoyed watching Lori's journey to self discovery and into a really fulfilling love life, both in and out of bed. Brad and Marc are definitely hot, and the sex scenes could scorch, but around those scenes the book is really about Lori and learning to be who she really is, even if that's not socially acceptable. Now like I said, the sex scenes are sizzling, but as far as the BDSM elements go they're fairly mild, with nothing overly extreme between the three main characters. There are some more extreme things that are mentioned, but do not fall into Lori's area of interest. This is part of the 1-800-DOM-HELP series, but all of the stories are completely stand alone.
