Lauren is a successful doctor with a healthy attitude toward sex, unashamed of her proclivities as a sexual dominant. She wants love and a family, but she's beginning to believe there is no Mr. Right willing to stand by her in sickness and health...and be cuffed, stripped, and smacked with a riding crop. Then her friend Lisette invites her to spend a long weekend on a private island. It turns out Lisette can't come with her, but Lauren opts to go anyway, with no one for company but Joshua, the island caretaker, and his visiting friend, Marcus. Though both men are beautiful, it is Joshua that catches Lauren's attention, and not just because Marcus prefers men. Something in Josh's stormy eyes calls to her. When Marcus facilitates a game of submission and control between the three of them that will last throughout the weekend, Lauren embraces the opportunity. Josh overwhelms her with his willingness to submit to her body's desires, but her heart wants to get to the secrets behind those eyes. She is going to have to tear down his defenses and make him give her everything. And this is one Mistress who doesn't take no for an answer...… (altro)

There were parts of this I liked, and I'm trying to keep in mind that this was written 20 years ago, probably if it were written by this author today it would be better. It's not very grounded in reality though. With most of the things I can just chalk it up to fantasy, (there's an elaborate beach scene involving sand, but of course none of it goes anywhere inconvenient, etc). But I had a much harder time with the poor understanding (or at least representation) of actual power exchange dynamics. These scenes have not one, but *two*, highly experienced doms, yet their work is a mess. Poor practices, wonky psychology, I hope no one out there is taking notes from this for their own D/s ventures. =D As sort of BDSM "fluff" though, I suppose it's probably fine. I'm going to try the next book, but I really hope that aspect improves as it goes along. ( )

A Dom/sub romance that nicely explores the emotional complexities of such relationships while also offering up fun, steamy sexy-time scenes. I liked all the characters right away and very nearly loved them all by the end. Two quibbles: 1) the dialogue gets a little cheesy at times, and 2) I really wanted more filling-out of the back stories for the characters.The outline Hill gives for them is really promising, and if she'd fleshed them out more it would have made a good story great.

Emotional pain comes in all shapes and sizes, the path to healing takes many different forms. Great read, accepting oneself for who and what we are is a great message here as well as hot scenes

It has happened. I can't take it anymore. It's not the story, it's not the characters, it's the writing. I started reading this in October 2017. One page per week. I broke down today.

As Elena and Teal were saying, life is too short for bad books.

An erotic romance with a BDSM relationship, female Dom, male sub. The characters are well fleshed out (does that need a "sorry not sorry"? I can't decide), all of the sex is multi-purpose (all the sex scenes had a purpose in addition to being sex scenes), the sentence-level writing is great, and the pacing is good. Despite all the sex and edginess, something about Holding the Cards is almost sweet. I loved the characters in the end, and loved the emotional journey they went on. This was almost a clutch-it-to-my-chest-at-the-end-and-sigh read. If you want a m/f BDSM romance with a female Dom, I'd rec this. ( )
