What a delicious finale to this incredible series. Madame Kink is such an incredible character, I love that Sara expanded the series to give her her own story! I don't want to leave any spoilers, so if you've read the rest of the rest of the series all I'll say is that this is a worthy finale. And if you haven't, read the rest as well! It's worth it.

So many people read / watch fifty shades and that’s their only introduction to kink….. and oh boy does that do a disservice to the entire community. This character, and the series as a whole, are the opposite of that. Salacious is such a wonderful dive into all the positive things the world of kink and pleasure can provide. Enjoy the ride 😈 ( )

One word: Fantastic!
I read this book because I've read the Highest Bidder. I haven't read the previous books in the series even if I've seen them a lot before. The book blurb hinted a three-way relationship, which is not my preference, but I wanted to step out of my comfort zone so I gave this a try. And surprise! I'm now questioning my sexuality! Joke. But gosh, Madame is hot! Burning hot. Everything in this book is my first time reading and I love it! ( )

First Impressions
Madame is the finale in the "Salacious Players' Club" and I had a fun time with this one. It wasn't perfect and didn't quite meet up expectations for it being a menage romance, however, it still was a solid read and had some very captivating moments that really made this one redeemable. I enjoyed finally getting Eden's book as she has been a character that we have seen throughout the series and I just really enjoyed seeing her have a story and find her place among the other owners but we also get some fabulous backstory to who she is and her growth as an individual.

First Line
My straight black hair hangs over the porcelain bowl as I'm assaulted by another round of violent dry heaving.

Summary
Eve is a professional Domme but also is the queen of the BDSM world at the Salacious Players Club. She is well known for her professionalism and class. She fell hard for Clay who was her submissive for some time, but she pushed him away and he left and its been months since she has seen him. Clay is now with Jade and both Clay and Jade are wanting more in their relationship and take upon the talents of Eve to teach Jade what she needs to be a bit more commanding in the bedroom. But what develops between the three is a poly relationship neither of them expected. But will Eve push Jade and Clay away again or embrace the relationship she could have with them...

What I Loved
There were many things that I did enjoy about this story. I really loved the backstory that we get on Eve. Seeing her living her life and not just being the dominatrix that we have seen her to be throughout the series. We see quite a bit of more depth in her character that I truly was so endeared to. Love that she is a single mom and the way that she is with her seven year old son was so precious and really showcases her vulnerable soft side. Eve is one of those characters that is so tough and commanding when she needs to be, but you also see how much she needs love in her life but doesn't feel like she deserves it. Her character is really well fleshed out and I appreciated that.

What I Struggled With
I really struggled with quite a few things in the story. First off the flashbacks wasn't my favorite aspect and would have preferred a prologue or first few chapters of Clay and Even and then jump to the present, it was too distracting and too focused on their sex only relationship and not seeing much more else to it. Then we have Jade's character which wasn't very likeable. In fact, she was quite annoying most times. And I also didn't like the way she kept secrets from Clay like she did when they were the ones in the current relationship. I felt like it was too deceptive of her and Clay just readily accepted as okay. And the three way relationship should have been more fleshed out. We didn't really get much between Clay and Eve relationship wise. Yes they had a history but it didn't feel resolved and when you are writing any poly relationship all aspects of the relationship need to be well developed or it feels lacking.

Overall View
Madame is a spicy, curl your toes romance that will leave you breathless in feels and tingles! A SOLID FINALE!

Favorite Quote(s)
Looking back, I realize that was the first time my guard was down between us. He had asked something no one else had. It was the first time someone truly cared. It’s like there was a weak spot in the armor I had built around myself, and Clay easily found it.

Steam/Spice Explanations

Blazing fire to the building-The prime focus is the sex scenes, scorching hot, and could burn one. Less focus on the emotional intimacy to the relationship. ( )
