LEANN'S REVIEW: White Collared (Shelly Bell) Part Four







SYNOPSIS:
Part Four: Passion





In the thrilling conclusion of Shelly Bell's

White Collared series, Kate and Jaxon are finally free to put the past behind
them, but a shocking betrayal could have deadly consequences that neither saw
coming.




Compelled by
 truth …



With Alyssa's

murder solved, Kate attempts to fix the damage to her relationship with Jaxon,
but with his reputation and career destroyed by false accusations, Jaxon asks
for time to consider their future. Yet as hard as Kate tries, she can't
extinguish her desire for Jaxon, or forget the pleasure she's found in
submission.


Dominated by
 love …


In an attempt to

convince Jaxon they truly belong together, Kate allows him to dominate her
completely, signifying her trust and proving her love. But just as everything
she's ever dreamed of is finally within her grasp, Kate discovers a chilling
secret from Alyssa's past that brings her world crashing down … and reveals a
murderer hiding in plain sight.



Review:

An end to this amazing little serial series. After completing all four parts I am 100% satisfied with this series. There were times I questioned parts as I read along, but now with the ending I am very happy with the results. First off I loved that you didn't have to wait months or years to get the ending. By quickly releasing these parts in the series the author kept my focus. 

The characters are great. Again at times I question some of their motives or actions, but it all comes together nicely! I was a little surprised at who the killer was... Suspense and surprise are the two things I love most about this book. Well that and the very steamy romance. A great read and a perfect conclusion to this four part series.

BOOK TRAILER:
















TEN
MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT BDSM
  1. It’s
    all about sex.

TRUTH: BDSM is about many

things and sex is only a part. It’s a consensual exchange of power. 
  1. It’s
    all about pain.

TRUTH: BDSM stands for bondage,

discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, masochism. In other words, there are
a variety of ways people practice BDSM. Just because you’re a submissive
doesn’t mean you’re a masochist and not all Dominants enjoy inflicting pain.
Whips and chains are not required.
  1. Sadists
    are killers.

TRUTH: Are some killers

sadists? Yes. Are some sadists killers? Yes. But sadism in itself does not mean
you’re prone toward violence. To qualify as BDSM, it must be consensual.
  1. Dominants
    are mostly men.

TRUTH: While most erotic

romances about BDSM showcase male Dominants, female Dominants or Dommes are
common.
  1. There’s
    only one way to practice it.

TRUTH: Every healthy

relationship includes responsibilities, expectations, and boundaries. But what
works in one relationship may not work for another. It’s the same in BDSM, only
the responsibilities, expectations, and boundaries are explicitly negotiated.
  1. People
    who engage in the lifestyle are abusers or suffer from abuse.

TRUTH: BDSM is not abuse. First,

it is consensual. Second, the masochist/submissive/bottom can use his/her safe
word to stop it. Third, there is no research to suggest a higher incidence of
previous abuse for those in the BDSM lifestyle than the general population.
7. People who engage in the lifestyle have a psychological condition.

TRUTH: The American Psychiatric

Society no longer classifies participation in BDSM as a mental disorder.
8. People in the lifestyle are promiscuous.

TRUTH: There is no evidence to

support that those who engage in BDSM are any more promiscuous than the general
population.
9. No one you know practices it.

TRUTH: Want to bet? An

estimated five to ten percent of people practice S&M, but plenty more tie
up their lover in the bedroom (thirty percent). Ever allow a lover to blindfold
you? In doing so, you’re consensually handing over power to him/her and
trusting him/her to honor your boundaries. This is part of BDSM. Based on that
definition, twenty percent of the population engages in the practice.
10. It is your business to know what happens behind closed doors.

TRUTH: Even if your neighbors

are part of the lifestyle, it is none of your business. They have the same
right to privacy as you, so unless they choose to divulge their sexual
activities, don’t worry about it. They won’t bite you without your consent. J
