S.E.X. Review~ Jinxx's Big BDSM Adventure By Skye Michaels

Jinxx Mason, a self-sufficient, capable woman, is a litigation paralegal in a prestigious Wall Street law firm. Jinxx has lived alone since her disappointing marriage and recently experimented with some light BDSM play as a trainee sub at Le Club Eastside–Manhattan. She made the long-distance acquaintance of a California Dom on Facebook, and their relationship blossomed through texts, emails and telephone calls. 
Troy Barnett is a construction engineer working overseas projects as well as a dangerous side line of recon into several Middle Eastern countries to gain current intel on nuclear plant construction for the government.  It’s dangerous clandestine work done under the cover of his legitimate jobs as a civilian consultant on actual reconstruction projects. 
Troy and Jinxx meet in person at the ultra-luxurious BDSM Black Dahlia Hotel in Fort Lauderdale. All goes well, and both realize they had not made a mistake falling in love on Facebook. Can love conquer all and can their long-distance relationship survive the miles as well as Troy’s classified side line?
A Siren Erotic Romance

Jinxx’s Big BDSM Adventure by Skye Michaels was a wonderful read and a tad bit different from the other books in The Black Dahlia Hotel series. I have enjoyed this series from the get-go and Jinxx’s story has been no different.

Jinxx forms a relationship with Troy—a Scotsman with a big secret—through social media. Eventually Jinxx and her group of friends travel to the Black Dahlia Hotel for a New Year’s week extravaganza. Troy agrees to meet Jinxx in Florida and the relationship which formed through correspondence takes off without a hitch in person.

I loved Jinxx’s attitude and tenacity. She was an independent woman who knew what she wanted professionally and personally. She was no-nonsense and lived life by her own rules. Her desire to submit only enhanced her loving qualities yet at times I also found them to be her slight downfall.

Ms. Michaels’ portrayal of Troy as the strong alpha Dom radiated throughout the pages. The man fell for the red-headed paralegal and immediately knew he wanted her in his life as a partner and submissive. I loved that about him. What I had a hard time with was the slight double-standard I felt emanating from Troy. At times he appeared selfish in his thought process. No spoilers but I wondered how the man could have his feelings hurt at something Jinxx called him, yet he had knowingly lied to her. Jinxx was a good woman who took his flaws and his love equally and embraced them.

Ms. Michaels always delivers a steamy story with great characters and her series should not be missed.
