Lovely story I really got into the story of this book! There was just something fun about having a womanizer and a woman who doesn’t trust, find that their feelings for one another may change everything. It kind of hits the dot on the whole romance story thing, which I think a lot of authors miss now. That being said, the novel was well written and everything flows really well. This made the book a quick read, but I sort of wish I could have gotten through it in one sitting. The story is filled with great characters and dialogue that suits them. Of course, there’s quite a few racy scenes in this book, but they don’t end up cliché or too out there, which was nice. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who loves romance or domination novels. The story line is well worth the read even if you’re not though. ~ Chelsey McQuitty Today's links are below.

Simply "Sexcellent"! I've been dabbling more and more in this particular genre as of late, and SaFleur has successfully drawn me in even deeper. I think Carson and London may be the most intriguing BDSM partners that I've had the pain/pleasure of reading, but their exploits go so far beyond the basic, somewhat hackneyed plots of other erotica and Dom novels that I've read in the recent past. They are real people, packed with insecurities, despite their apparent strength and confidence. It was nice to see the layers peeled back as the book progressed, and while the sub-plots, such as the blackmailer, added a certain element of intrigue, I think the story could have been carried completely with their own exploration of intimacy, romance, sex, and, eventually....love. I didn't expect some sort of happy ending, as the tone of the book was dark and pensive, and I didn't want the author to cheapen her good work by copping out with a "they lived happily ever after" ending. Without giving away too much, the close of the novel will leave you hungry for the next one, and wildly satisfied that you made your way through. An excellent read from start to finish. ~ John J.

The elements in this book should be taken seriously if that is something you want to enter. I think the author has done a GREAT job explaining how people must always make sure they are safe in any situation and that it is ok to have limits and say no. She also outlines how the BDSM community takes care of their own to ensure the safety of others at all times. That being said, I liked the storyline, I love it when a self-professed Dom who vows to remain single gets hit with cupids arrow. That is what happens to Carsen and since this is uncharted territory to him, his protective tendencies and take charge persona are exactly what drives Logan away. I loved that Carsen would do anything for Logan and he realized that on their first weekend together, he stepped right into the boyfriend role without really consulting her and in the end, this is what made Logan push him away. Yes, Logan craved and needed a take charge kind of guy but she was afraid of it because of her past and was able to walk away. Of course Elizabeth keeps us rooting for the couple even as Logan keeps pushing and Carsen keeps trying and you'll have to read the book to find out what happens but let me tell you there is a whole lot of steamy, heart melting action going on between this couple.

An Outstanding BDSM Erotic Romance! *Untouchable* is the second full-length erotic romance in the irresistible Elite Doms of Washington series. Each story in the series is a stand alone, but some characters do reappear in other books. I'd highly recommend reading *Holiday Ties* (novella) and *Lovely* before *Untouchable* for the sheer pleasure of it, not because it's necessary. ~ Ria Restrepo Today's links are below.

Wealthy Washington, D.C. corporate attorney and seasoned Dominant, Carson Drake is the master of the romantic pre-emptive strike. One weekend is all he needs or wants, and every relationship is over before it begins. But London Chantelle, his company’s public relations “princess,” intrigues and provokes the protective alpha male in him. Outside the office, their unexpected meeting at a local BDSM club presents the opportunity to do what he’s always wanted—earn her submission. He proposes a unique weekend of sensual pleasure. Though damaged from her history and mistrustful of men, London agrees to forty-eight hours with Carson, anticipating she could finally put her unwanted, darker longings to rest. The passionate weekend proves beyond what either expected and they quickly discover how perfect they could be together. But London’s long-buried secrets and a blackmailing co-worker interrupt their weekend of romantic exploration. Carson calls on the powerful and secret Tribunal organization for support. But soon the greatest threat to Carson and London’s relationship is revealed—their own assumptions about love. Book Trailer Seven Burning Questions about "Untouchable" by Elizabeth SaFleur’s latest in the Elite Doms of Washington series 1. Untouchable’s hero Carson Drake first makes an appearance in the first Elite Doms book, Lovely. He seems much more honorable in Untouchable than I recall in Lovely. Is that right? Carson has always been a decent and honorable Dom and friend. When he “befriends” Yvette in Lovely, he hadn’t realized the depth of her depression around her divorce. No one had. As a former beauty queen and socialite, Yvette “smiles over” her true feelings and isn’t always honest. He felt terrible about what happened between them. In fact, he still does, though Yvette and Carson have since patched things up. 2. What is "London List"? As Carson gets to know our heroine, London Chantelle, he discovers London-at-the-office is quite different from London-in-real-life. As an attorney, Carson abhors mystery. So he starts a mental list of her characteristics. It’s in his nature to figure things out, and London proves to be quite enigmatic at the start of Untouchable. Here’s a clue as to what’s on London’s List: She hates being cold. Carson makes sure to heat her up. <wink> 3. Carson and London’s brother, Benny, didn't like Pottery Barn, is that a personal thing coming out in the book?Personally, I love Pottery Barn. However, Carson and Benny are a tad snobbish when it comes to home design. They prefer non-mass-marketed possessions. Benny, London’s brother, had always wanted to be an architect. He is attuned to details such as proportion, lines and shapes of furniture. Carson also has particular, yet impeccable, taste in interior design, which London discovers when she visits his home. Me? I need furniture that can withstand puppy scratches and dog hair. 4. You introduce The Tribunal, a powerful and secret organization, in Untouchable. Will we hear more about the Tribunal in future books?Oh, yes. The Tribunal, formed by Alexander Rockingham in 1986, is an important organization throughout the entire Elite Doms series. With each book, you’ll learn a little bit more about how it was formed and why, and hopefully be a little surprised by its influence and reach into certain, ahem, circles. Also, the reason Alexander started the Tribunal is tied to something dark that happened to him in his past. 5. London’s mother is mentioned quite a bit in Untouchable. Will we ever meet her?Who would want to? LOL You never know. When her mother gets tired of her current husband, she might come to Washington. But I doubt Carson would embrace her with open arms! 6.Several new characters make an appearance in Untouchable, such as Alexander Rockingham and Derek Damon Wright. Do we hear more about them later in the series?Alexander and Derek’s stories are coming soon. You know those bossy Doms. They all want their own books. I am here merely to take dictation. Alexander’s story is complex and dark. Derek, on the other hand, had a privileged upbringing, albeit in an unloving family. Derek’s story might take some people by surprise—and I’m not telling yet. 7.We know a sequel to Jonathan and Christian’s story, Lovely, is in the works. What about Carson and London. Will there be an Untouchable 2?I don’t know. When London’s mother shows up do you want to read what happens? I might leave that decision up to the readers. Elizabeth SaFleur is an erotic romance author and dying-to-retire public relations practitioner who writes, tweets and posts under a pseudonym since her business clients might be (would be) shocked at her second career choice. She wrote the Elite Doms of Washington, a contemporary erotic romance series, somewhat inspired by her thirty-year career serving D.C. clients, though her work life didn’t include the smexines or BDSM she features. Today Elizabeth shares twenty-eight, wildlife-filled acres in Central Virginia with her husband and dog, and is sometimes separated from her laptop to indulge in dance classes and local wineries. Elizabeth is a member of the Romance Writers Association and avid reader of all fiction genres. www.ElizabethSaFleur.com This is the first book written by Kris Michaels that I’ve read, and after reading this book, it’s not going to be the only one I read. As far as I’m concerned, A Heart’s Desire ticked all the boxes. I fell in love with the characters, especially Liam. He found a special place in my heart. He endured torture that I’m sure would have broken a lesser person, but he came out on the other side even though he was broken, both physically and mentally. Steel McKenzie was a strong alpha male, but was not afraid to show his softer side and protective instincts when someone he cared about was in danger. Being an FBI agent had nothing to do with it. The minor characters, whether good or bad (and believe me there were BAD) each had an important part to play in this book and I couldn’t imagine it without any one of them. The story itself ensured that only basic housework was done during the time I was reading it. This book was filled with drama from the beginning until the end. It also kept me awake last night because I had to finish it before I could go to sleep. I had to know how it finished! But even though I needed to finish A Heart’s Desire, I didn’t want it to end. And then there was the hot sizzling sex. I’ve read a few M/M books before, but nothing compared to this one. I gave A Heart’s Desire 5 sizzling stars and I’ve already downloaded another book written by Kris Michaels. This will be the last day of the "A Heart's Desire" Blog Tour.
