The Book Junkie Reads . . . To The Edge (At the Brink, #2) . . .
I
have been waiting for the next in this series. I have been wanting more since
the first encounter. I have just been teetering on the brink. Now, I have what
I have been waiting for and let me see what I have to say about it was a bit
different from my expectations. That could be a good things. Having thing not
be predictable and repetitive makes for a more interesting read. I did enjoy my
read and will be waiting for the next book in this series.
Noah
and Clara had a past. Now in the future they have a chance to make things turn
out differently than before. Clara had a job to do but the first attempted didn’t
quite go as anticipated. But the turnaround was that she got something she has
been wanting for a very long time. Now was her chance to be bold, strong,
commanding. Take charge of what she wanted and needed. It all lay before her. Noah
would give this woman anything including his heart. They had the chemistry, the
passion, the desire, and the love to make this second chance more than the
first one.
BLURB
Clara's gone wild.
Naked. Cuffed. Caged. Is this the sweet
senator’s daughter I left behind?
I didn't know it was her when I rushed into
that room filled with flames, but I'll never let her go again.
She’s proposed a unique way to thank me. It
could bring us both to the edge of ecstasy—or to the point of no return.
Clara wants to submit. To me. Totally. Damn
any limits. The very thought of it has brought me back from the dead.
But a stranger is watching from the shadows.
He’s made us his fantasy. And he plays rougher than I do. Where he’s taking us
now is somewhere so dark, and so dangerous, that this time it could be
inescapable.

Chapter One
Clara
My first attempt at submission went from failure
to disaster in a whiff. An odd scent teased my nose and rattled my nerves. A
prickle of uneasiness crept up my spine. I craned my neck, trying to figure out
where the smell was coming from, but I couldn’t see much beyond the narrow
slits of my sequined velvet mask.
Note to blog:
velvet masks may shield, tease and entice, but visibility sucks.
I heard a small sound, a swish maybe? It came
from my right somewhere, from the hallway that led to the powder room. I tried
twisting my body around in the cage, but I could barely move. My arms were
fastened above my head and my ankles were strapped to the bars near the floor.
I sniffed the air again. The smell seemed fainter. Maybe it was my imagination,
trying to shock some common sense into me and put an end to today’s little
experiment.
I was alone in the old house. My companion had
left twenty minutes ago, to find himself some coffee in town, he’d said. He’d
left me cuffed in the cage so that I could reflect on my irreverent conduct.
Right. Good luck with that, buddy. The truth was that he probably needed the
caffeine boost in order to tackle a handful like me.
I let out a little groan. Sure, this was crazy,
no two ways about it. Reckless my mother would say, risky and not exactly
consistent with my usually sane behavior. But honestly? I had suppressed my
life for others’ sake long enough.
But this? A seditious little voice nagged in the
back of my mind. I tried to quiet it down, but maybe, just maybe, I’d pushed
the edge a little too hard on this one. God, the things I did in the name of
freedom.
The tight leather corset dug into my ribs. My
arms ached. My legs were tired and my feet were beginning to cramp in the
impossibly high heels.
Note to blog:
kink garb isn’t exactly comfy.
Good God. I was actually going through with this.
Me. Clara Luz. Attempting something so far out of my comfort zone, not to
mention my family’s much-touted moral rectitude. I slumped in my bonds. Was I
really so freaking desperate?
A week and a half ago, Annette Collins, the
legendary editor of RelevantSex.com, had presented me with a unique
proposition. Annette had been my advisor in grad school and as such, the only
person who knew about my online adventures. From the beginning, she’d followed
sextattle.com, the sex and romance blog I published—anonymously, of course.
It wasn’t as if I was particularly versed or
gifted in these oh so very fascinating subjects. On the contrary. My
relationship IQ measured pretty low on the success scale. But the blog wasn’t
so much an advice column as it was a forum. Discussion questions came in
through an unfiltered inbox, I posted them under different categories and
people talked about them. I was good at research, so I mostly shared facts and
links to helpful resources. I followed the old adage: those who can’t do,
teach. Or, in my case, share online.
Initially, the blog had been an experiment, a grad
school project that went unexpectedly viral. But after graduation, the blog
transformed into a labor of love, a means to connect with people and the only
possible way in which I could pursue my own journey, separate from that of my
illustrious mother. These days the blog had a very respectable reach, solid
advertising revenues and an expanding market that had caught Annette’s eye.
She’d made me an excellent offer to merge my blog with RelevantSex.com.
The catch?
