The time has finally arrived. The final conclusion of Calla and Flynn’s love story. Will it end in a happily ever after? Or will the forces that have sought to keep them apart triumph over love?


Dr Calla Jones is no longer a green sub with her heart in her eyes.

When Flynn Banroch hired Calla to act as the resident psychologist for the most exclusive BDSM club in Vancouver, she was excited. One of the conditions of her employment was a thirty-day training contract with an experienced Dom in order to understand the lifestyle fully. Calla couldn’t have been more on board with Flynn’s plan, especially after he signed the training contract.

Flynn Banroch wasn’t looking for anything more than releasing the sub he knew was lurking inside of Calla.








Instead he found an incendiary connection forcing him to question the strict rules he had for playing with subs. In exploring Calla’s submission, Flynn found his own dominance growing and changing in ways he had never thought possible. When a threat to his position as CEO of his families multi billion-dollar company arises. In order to keep Calla safe, Flynn ends their thirty-day training contract.

The malignant danger against Vancouver’s BDSM community has steadily increased since Flynn ended his thirty-day training contract with Calla. Compelled to keep Calla safe, he offers her another contract and whisks her away from the dangers of the city. At his private island off the coast of British Columbia, Flynn and Calla will rediscover the bond between Dom and sub that has haunted them for months. As their enemies close in, will the pair be able to finally escape the past and look towards a future together? Or will the forces conspiring against them finally win? Find out in As If The Whole World Were Watching.

MY REVIEW - 4 STARS




This is a thrilling conclusion to both Flynn and Calla's story AND to the story arch that has flowed through the series


The first book or two of the series had more of a BDSM romance feel, however this, along with the last few books, is more of a romantic suspense with strong elements of BDSM. The kink is very consensual, even when Calla disagreed with some of Flynn's decision she still ultimately had full control of whether the scene would occur or not. I loved how Calla wasn't afraid to speak her mind, she may be a submissive but she was never a doormat. She shone in this book and I really felt a connection to her.



At a push you could read this as a stand alone, but to get the full benefit of this book you need to read Our First Dance at the very least. In that book we saw Flynn and Calla begin their troubled relationship. Since they have already developed feelings for each other we don't see them 'fall in love' in this book. What we do see are two people learning to compromise and to trust others and each other again.


I have to admit there were a handful of occasions where either Flynn or, more often, Calla seemed to make a very strange or sudden decision. However a few paragraphs later the author would explain their thinking, and all suddenly made sense. 


There were times when I felt that Flynn made irrational decisions. Whilst this seemed out of character for such a smart, ambitious, driven and successful CEO, it really emphasised how difficult he was finding it to cope with the situation he found himself in. I loved how Calla called him out when he was being a fool, I also adored just how supremely sexy this guy is when he goes into full Dom mode.




The plot is fast paced, there is LOTS of suspense, plenty of interesting characters, very good writing and an overall engaging story. A fantastic end to the over arching plot line but I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of Callaghan, Master Diego, Melanie or out old favourites from this series of books.

Ratings

5 stars - This is a book I will not forget and would definitely read again.

4 stars - I really enjoyed this book, I might not read it again but I would definitely recommend it to others.

3 stars - This story was good but either forgettable or just very typical of its genre.

2 stars - Whilst the book was readable I either didn't enjoy parts of the plot or just could not connect to the main characters.

1 star - This is a book I simply could not finish for reasons listed in the review.
