Violet Blooms (Acting the Part Book 1) by Eden Freed — Reviews, Discussion, Bookclubs, Lists by Kaylee

Violet Blooms by Eden Freed is skillfully written and blended with hot, steamy sex scenes and a side of BDSM. I enjoyed reading about a passion that’s wild, burning, and erotic between these two characters. The story compels you to continue reading in order to uncover the ending.

Violet is an aspiring actress about to graduate college in acting but has never landed a leading role. Angry she’s willing to pursue an alternative direction to steer her life, until an opportunity arrives. BDSM takes her into a whole new world of exploring her sexual side. When she falls hard for Master Blythe, she wants nothing but to belong to him. Can she love him enough to make Master Blythe forget his rules? Is she strong enough to accept the challenge? Will this challenge break her? Will her self-esteem and the confidence she gains be enough for her to follow her dreams and find love?

Master Jericho Blythe is a man of discipline and follows a strict code of having no feelings for his students. That is until Violet is brought into his erotic shop that caters to the needs of adults. He has a 4 week time period in which to train her to take instructions. She must give the performance of a life time to impress a big time Hollywood director. As Master Blythe spends time with Violet his feelings intensify. And he becomes more conflicted about his rules and feelings for her. Will he break his rules with Violet? Can he find the courage to love her? Are his rules and discipline more important to him than his happiness?

Blurb and excerpts:

A young aspiring actress, majoring in Theater Arts in her last semester of school, must overcome mediocrity and learn to take violetdirection in time to be discovered by a talent scout during her final performance. Her new acting coach decides to teach her direction through a non-conventional method: introduction to BDSM. Will Violet have what it takes to learn the art of role playing or will she end up on the “casting couch?”

……
“Frankly, you frustrate me Violet. I could teach you,” he said and I felt Chase hand grip my wrist and pull it towards him. Something in his face changed from excitement to concern and he let go of me and straightened out his shirt. He sat back in his seat and blew out through pursed lips before he said, “There are rules.”

…….

Without even hiking my jeans and underwear back up, I sat bare assed on the cool leather couch and awaited my punishment. My lower lip was trembling with nervous anticipation. I could feel my breaths coming in short gasps keeping time with Blythe’s quick footsteps as he returned

………

I loved each sub for who they were, but I wasn’t in love with them. Detaching myself from my subs a little made me a better master. I was more objective and able to exact obedience from them. One look at Violet pushed all of my reservation aside. I wanted to possess her completely and utterly.

……
Love isn’t easy. It takes courage. There are days when you just want to walk away and call it quits because you feel as raw inside as you do outside, but you don’t go because it would hurt even more,” she said and sighed. I felt the same way. Georgette looked at me for a moment and asked, “Did you want me to make a collar for her?”

Monomania !

imageHello Readers,

I finished reading a book (review to follow) and went to switch it out for a crisp new one in my shelf, when low and behold (yes, people still talk like this) I discovered I was missing #Sunstone #Comic Number 3. Now, anyone with #OCD will understand the meticulous nature with which I put my things away, in order. OCD kicked right in and I actually began to feel the effects of a little stress.(coping mechanisms in place for anything more)

Control freaks such as myself like things the way they damn well put them! So I was not my happiest self and considered playing some Minecraft or approaching this problem like a detective (hey, Sherlock…) Guess what won?!

(Nostalgia boner when I hit the shelves with #AnneRice and #CeciliaTan #books I’ve read over and over again)

Anyway, I’m getting a little off topic- I #stressed and immediately began rummaging through everything, emptying three bookshelves, and then the adrenaline spike wore off and I was left trying to restore everything to its original state with a tired and still unfullfilled mind.  In the midst of this I did find an unread book that belonged to my hubby and, being the good natured sort I am, decided to put it in his bookcase for him. (Wifey bonus points brought me up to #level9000 here!) Guess what I found in the process… Yup, LOL- the hubby is guilty of reading my comics again. (Side note to hubby- sometimes I just love you so much!!! Teary eyed that you read it.)

After a good laugh and a little dusting my day resumes with a new book in hand and a tidier bedroom. Now, I can get back to writing a new short story.

 

Taking reading to an almost pathological level, LOL,

Eden Freed
