Fiercely protective of her heart, India Burke let down her defenses when Cris Ardmore went from another notch on her D/s playdate belt to everything she could never admit she wanted.
But being disowned by your family and betrayed by your lover aren’t easy to get over, and India’s old fears of intimacy creep in against a backdrop of professional drama that forces her return to a place that never really felt like home.
Though she proved her loyalty when it mattered most, love is about more than grand gestures and Cris wants all of her—which may be more than India is able to give. Can Cris and India navigate to a shared future or will they forever be off course?
** Please Note: Intimate Geography is Book 2 of The Compass Series and CANNOT be read as a stand-alone. Personal Geography, the beginning of Cris and India’s story, released on December 1st 2014.**
Karen’s Thoughts
Tamsen Parker writes a compelling, steamy story in this second book and conclusion to the Compass series. It’s a provocative story about two people in a BDSM relationship. India is a brilliant, feisty attorney and has little patience for anyone who can’t keep up with her. Every one she works with is afraid of her and she has few friends. India enjoys the BDSM lifestyle and being a sub because it’s the one part of her life where she can give up control. When India and Cris first meet, it starts as a sexual relationship only, but as it grows into more, it scares India. Although she likes everything about Cris, India is afraid of getting too close. I went back and forth on my feelings about India. She has a lot of issues and was often whinny and selfish. She is terrified of getting too close to anyone and even though she cares about Cris, she hides her feelings. I like everything about Cris and he is amazingly patient with India. He is a nice, sensitive, compassionate guy and even though he is a DOM, he never does anything that makes India feel uncomfortable. He is intuitive to India’s needs without her having to tell him what she wants. When they are together sexually Cris has complete control as India’s DOM, but India controls all the other aspects of their relationship. This is an entertaining erotic story.
