My entire world changed the second that I saw her in my casino.

She’s a professional gambler. And a cheat. A damn good one… but not good enough. And now she owes a debt to me. A debt that only her body can repay.

I’m restless with lust and need and desire for this thing of beauty not in my possession. My mind and cock are obsessed with her.

When I spank her for the first time, I know that I’m right.
She is the one.

The woman that I’m going to break. The woman that I’m going to train for only my particular tastes. I’m going to shatter her into a million pieces and then rebuild her into everything that I want and need and desire in…

My next submissive.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2! Her Debt, book 1 of 3. Tristan sets in motion his devious plan to collect a debt only to get derailed by lust & compromise!

“Just so you know, the harder you fight, the harder my cock gets.”

Books in Lock & Key trilogy should be read in order:
Book 1: Her Debt
Book 2: His Deal
Book 3: Their Destiny


Her Debt (book 1) opens up to casino owner and heir Tristan Broussard aka Master confronting the woman who has been scamming his casino. He’s been watching her for months. In fact, he has been biding his time so that her debt would constitute a severe crime. Tristan decided long ago he did not want to be reimbursed in money, but his repayment would come in submission.

“If you don’t choose to be my plaything, you’re going to end up in jail being someone else’s plaything. Which may not bother you too much if you enjoy eating pussy.” He chuckles.”

Gambler and con artist Emma Lia Grant, Em aka Mon bebelle almost feels guilty for cheating sex-on-a-stick, too-handsome-for-his-own-good and richer-than-Croesus Tristan, until he threatens her and demands repayment. The nerve! Game on! It becomes a tug-a-war with Em, always the gambler, knowing how to keep her cards close and her feelings under wraps.

Tristan, the sadist and Dom cannot wait to break the feisty Em into his depraved lifestyle and be declared her owner until the debt is considered paid off. But what he did not factor in is that his attraction and lust may be clouding his judgment. Soon it is unclear who is controlling whom and who is topping whom and who owes what to whom…

Her Debt, told from dual POVs, offers the perfect mixture of forbidden, reckless and sinister blackmail, dark desires, seduction, lust, depravities, coercion, villains, sex, secrets and jealousy, but above all it was my absolute pleasure to watch the scheming borderline anti-hero Tristan begin his fall into whipped.

Scorching sex scenes! Hilarious bantering! Panty-melting dirty talking Tristan!

“I am your submissive… Sir.”
Victory. Triumph. Success. Mastery.”

I really loved this book. The story was a deeply erotic and sensual BDSM tale. The pacing was smooth. I hung on every word, trying to savor each. Also, the intensity of emotions floored me. Unlike some BDSM books there was an amazing storyline rather than just sex! Give this book a try and I hope you fall as deeply for this Dom and sub as I have. I'm looking forward to reading book 2!

In short:

"Mon bebelle"

I sometimes need to remind myself that expectations of norms, rules and limits in any "fictional" world, situation or character that an author creates need not follow a formula. Come to think about it, when does our own reality ever live up to the absolute constructs we impose on it.? We are human and very fallible.

Your probably asking yourself and the point being? Here's the thing... I was somewhat rattled by the fact that Tristan, the dark devastatingly dashing Dom, basically abducts a woman, drugs her unconscious and blackmails her with her crimes into being his submissive. This isn't how Doms are supposed to operate in the world of BDSM. Yet... Why is this still so appealing to a woman, namely me, fed up with the gender inequities and bias in the world?

The heroine, Emma Lia, is outraged at the indignities foisted upon her by Tristan and she fights back. She decides that she cannot suffer this humiliation and decides to leave him whatever may come.

Desperate to have "his" Emma Lia, he seduces her like a lover. Surprisingly he finds that the Dom in him could be held in check and he enjoyed the kissing, the eye contact and devoting a night to her pleasure.

Desperate to keep her, Tristan changes his overpowering ways and lures Emma Lia into a game of chance to ease her into his lifestyle while offering her the opportunity to wipe the slate clean of her debt to him from cheating at his casino. The time she needs to spend with him determined by each attempt at his game. Emma Lia is a professional gambler... a skilled cheat. She stays because she may be a little smitten by Tristan and she plays to win.

This is the stuff that lovers of darker romance devour. And about our bad boy, oops I mean Dom, and his crimes... it brings to mind the old saying, "All's fair in love and war."

allahım sen ne güzel bir kitaptın öyle!!!

Tristan Broussard, sen Dom'ların efendisi olabilirsin sanırım. seni var ya öpeceğim aghfdhdf

Tristan Broussard, kızımız Emma Lia ve gardaşı Adam'ın, kumarhanesinden haksız kazanç (cfajfgjf) elde ettiğini anlayınca aylar öncesinden kızımızı göz hapsine alır. nihayet beklediği an geldiğinde de minnoş kızımız Emma'ya bir teklif sunar; ya benim kölem olursun ya da babanız abinle sana mahpusa temiz çamaşır getirir zira görüntüleriniz elimde, der. kızımız önce mırın kırın etse de, bir 'vanilla sex' e kanar ve Tristan Broussard'ı da beğendiğinden mütevellit, kendi şartlarını da sunar ve kabul eder.

bu tarza daha yeniyim ama #şükür ki kötü kitap okumadım. şu anda da serinin devam kitabına başlamakla başka bir kitap okumak arasında kararsızım... #help

okuyun, okutun :D

I was pleasantly surprised by this author! I love how strong Emma is and that she doesn't bend so easily! I know, I know this is a dom/submissive story but it still is fun to see a sassy and strong person. I don't like Claire, I understand her frustration and anger but she is a sub and there was an arragement so..

I would recommend this to everyone who likes a little darker side story with dom/sub.

Emma Lia learnt how to cheat with cards in casino from his father and with her brother she seems to be very lucky until she’s caught by the casino owner Tristan. Tristan gives her an ultimatum-become his submissive or go to jail. Emma Lia doesn’t like either of the options, but after considering both options, she chooses to become the submissive. It’s a world she doesn’t know much about, but that’s what Tristan likes about her.

It’s the first part of the series and it was a solid introduction to it. Both main characters are strong-minded individuals and it was great to see them get what they want, but also bend their own rules for each other. The first part ends on a cliffhanger, so it’s better to have the next parts at hand.

Kitabın beni zorlayan birkaç yeri vardı. Özellikle de pelvik muayene kısmındaki etik dışı olaylarla ilgili. (Malum ben ebeyim :D ) Yani düşündüğünüzde adam öyle pek hayran olunacak bir bok değil :))) Kızı kaçırıyor, sub'um olacaksın diyor. Yoksa sen gitmek hapse diyor...

Azıcık zorlayıcı olsa da konunun anlatılış tarzını beğendim.

🃏She is mine. She just doesn’t know it yet.🃏


“Why do you want me? There must a million women out there who would willingly fall at your feet. Volunteer to be your submissive.”
“You can’t break someone who’s willing to be broken.”

Yani bu kitap hakkında ne söyleyebilirim diye düşünüyorum... ıııı... aradığım seri geldi beni buldu resmen. Böyle bir çılgınlık arıyordum.

Tristan, Emma Lia'yı aylardır gözetliyor. Kumarhanesinde -gazino mu desem? her neyse işte..- Emma Lia'nın hilelerle kazanıp paraları cebe indirmesine izin veriyor. 6 ay sonundan başlıyor kitap. Tristan artık bıkmış ehehe. Gün bugündür diyor.

Emma Lia'yı odasına çağırtıyor.
Emma Lia geliyor.
Yakalandığını anlıyor..
Parayı geri getirebilirim diyor..
Ama
Tristan;
Parayı değil
Seni istiyorum.
Diyerek noktayı koyuyor..

Like a predator, he’s been lying in wait for me. Watching. Biding his time until he was ready to strike. I’ve been the prey out in the open on his hunting grounds, believing that he was oblivious of my presence.

And now the beast plans to feast.

On me.

Şaşırdık mı?
Biraz
Şaşırmamın nedeni tamamen Tristan'ın Emma Lia'yı gözüne kestirme nedeni..
Adam Dom
Diyor ki daha önce kimse tarafından eğitilmemiş bir Sub lazım bana.. ehhee biraz takıntılı yani
Emma Lia'da.. yani.. ne yapacağını bilemez halde
Adam, ya hapishanede çürürsün, kamera görüntüleri elimde; ya da benim itaatkarım olursun diyor. Başka da bir şey demiyor.

Bu arada Tristan'ın hala itaatkarı olan Claudia var. Kızın daha Emma Lia'dan haberi yok.
Tristan kıza Emma Lia'dan bahsedince bi' kötü oluyor. Tristan'a aşık.
Tristan artık benim itaatkarım değilsin. Yeni bir efendi bulmana yardımcı olacağım diyor.
O zamana kadar otelde kalabilirsin diyor.
Claudia, bulana kadar burada kalmaya devam etsem olmaz mı diyor, sonuçta bir anda verilen bir haber olduğu için burada Tristan hatalı.
E, kal diyor.
Böylece aynı evin içinde bir müstakbel itaatkar, bir de gerçek itaatkar var olmuş oluyor.

description

Mm... bu iş hiç iyi yerlere gitmiyor derken
Emma Lia'nın babası da kızını almaya geliyor ama eli boş dönüyor..
Tristan'ın eli güçlü
Kızı bırakmamaya yemin etmiş
benim olacak diyor
başka bir şey demiyor
lfkjldk deli oldum

Baba artık pes etmi��, kızının itaatkar olacağından haberi yok, Emma Lia'da üzülmesin diye bir şey demiyor..
“He only wants you.”
“And people in hell want ice water.”

Kitaba bam bam diye 5'i basmamın iki nedeni var..
Çok hızlı bir giriş olmuş olabilir
ama
gelişme kısmı yavaştı
kitap kısa olduğu halde uzatılmıştı bu ilk neden
ikinci ve en önemli nedense
aralarındaki yaş farkı
14
yaş farkları 14
harika..
yani bu kitaba 5 vermemem için yapılan hiçbir gevşeklik yoktu
ben beğendim

description

🌪“I don’t understand why you want me; I don’t know anything about being a submissive.”

“I know that it probably comes as a surprise, but I don’t want my submissive to know anything about being a submissive. I want to be the one to teach her everything. It’s very important to me that I am her first Dom.” One of his brows lifts. “I very much want to be your first Dom.”

🌪“I’m the Dom.”
“More like the male chauvinist.”
“Being a Dom doesn’t make me a male chauvinist.”
“That’s not the way it sounds to me.”
“I feel as if you have this idea in your head that maybe I will see you as inferior because you submit. But that isn’t the case at all. I will hold you in the highest regard. You will become the most important person in my life. No one will come before you. And I will become the center of your universe.”


🌪“I will give you limits and rules and when you break them I will take pleasure in punishing you. And you’ll take pleasure in being punished because you know that it pleases me to do so.”

Only a freak would enjoy this stuff.“I will never take pleasure in having my ass spanked.”


🌪“I’ll spoil you with the best of everything. Shower you with gifts—whatever your heart desires.”


🌪Intense. Extreme. Harsh.

Lewd. Carnal. Hot.

Put all of those words into a verbal blender, turn it on high, and whatever you come up with would never be enough to describe what I just witnessed. Someone needs to come up with a whole new word for what to call that.



🌈“You don’t get it, baby.” He fists the top of his hair. “I’m fucking obsessed with you. I’m not going to let you go until this is finished.”


🌈His palms flatten against the wall beside each side of my head, forming a cage of muscular arms around me. A prison without an escape.
“You can go if that’s what you want. I won’t try to stop you.” His words say one thing, but the enclosure of arms around me says something entirely different.


🌈Emma Lia. Mon bebelle.

I hated the hero in this book. He wasn't charming at all, and after half of the book, I can't understand why she stopped trying to run away. He kidnapped her, drugged!, did medical procedure against her will! and claimed that she will love BDSM even when she said that she is not into it. He totally ignored the fact, that she may not enjoy that kind of game. It's not about play, it's his way of treating her all the time. I read a lot of books about BDSM, and I really liked most of them, but this time I wanted to scream at him "Dude, it's plain violence and rape, not consensual adult sex game!". He is so full of himself, cruel and ignorant. And I can't belive that he is confident and powerful if he can't charm the girl to have fun with him. Or I'm just spoiled by Roni Loren way of describing BDSM society as regular people with unusual way of having fun in bedroom.

This book was advertised as BDSM, but the most important rule in the community is CONSENT. I under what the author was attempting to do, but by kidnapping, blackmailing, and drugging Emma she was not given the change to consent. He even had an IUD placed inside of her while she was drugged.

Now, i do not have a problem with books that involve kidnapping or books that have ethical errors. One of my favorite books is about a man who kidnaps and psychologically “breaks” a woman by using sex. But this book did a terrible job setting how they reached the sexual part of their relationship

The biggest problem is the misrepresentation of the BDSM community. The main male character claimed to be a “Dom” but you don’t just give that title to someone who wants to be the dominant individual in bed. I DNFed this book at 54%.

If I finished the book, it would probably be three stars. I can see where the plot is going, but the set up is overall too problematic. I was tempted to finish the book, but knew I would spend the entire time criticizing it.

sadly this was a 2 star for me. liked the writing. I tried to keep an open mind but sadly I believe this might be myy last fiction book about BDSM. as some one who is living and learning more about this lifestyle I just couldn't get past what happened in the first chapter when he left his sub and had no aftercare.

God knows I'll read just about anything, but the conversation between the H {read: complete Asshole - with the capitol A} and the sub he's kicking out of his home to replace with a new one after a year...well, just NO.

This was a good one!

Ooh boy. Tristan is a man you love to hate. He comes off as a domineering ass that always gets what he wants. Of course that's a Dom for you, but he takes it to another level. However, just reading how he bends for Emma Lia when he never has for anyone before. I can't wait to continue reading because I have a feeling he's going to be the one to break in the end.

this was something. There were parts that felt incredibly familiar from a previous book i've read in the past, and at the same time, for an introductory book by Rebel Rose, it was very well written and a book that has given me the good kind of itch - the ones where you're impatiently waiting for the next book in the series because you have to know what will happen between Tristan and Emma Lia.

Maybe i read too many books for the plot to sound familiar to me - some aspects were something that i've read before (think of Gemma James' Devil's Kiss series), but what Rebel Rose did that Gemma James' hadn't was show the good side of D/s and why so many can crave it. I'm not saying it's the very best in the genre, but i will say that it was quite entertaining and explained very well many nuances that exist in this lifestyle.

All that being said, Rebel Rose still wrote a book that completely had me thinking and more than a little curious to find out what Tristan will do next with his little submissive and whether or not she will manage to bring him to his knees no matter what he thinks or says.

Book #2 of 2020 is a bit different than my first. No fairytale syrupy sweet romance here.Nothing but some dirty, less than ethical, hot written porn to make 50 Shades fans blush. This book is mostly sex,with just enough storyline to keep it from becoming boring. While the story isn't extensive, Rose excels at giving the reader just enough to keep them interested and set this book apart from the loads (hehe) of other books in this genre. I know I'll be looking for the next in the series.

This is my first book by Rebel Rose but it won't be my last. Her Debt is about a woman that's born in the family of gamblers that cheat and steal the system. Emma Lia finds herself having fun and winning at the same time, that is until she's caught by Tristan himself. She has taken him for well over a hundred grand and he gives her two options, one is jail and the second is be his submissive and work off the debt. Tristan wants her and he will stop at nothing to have her. Emma Lia agrees because she doesn't want to go to jail but she has no clue what she's in for or how twisted Tristan can really be.

SEXY AS HELL!!!

Her Debt is the first book in the Lock and Key series. Tristan is a sexy as sin dominate who has his sights set on a lawbreaking woman.

Emma Lia is a card shark. She plays the tables with skill and wins big with her brother by her side. Bad luck catches up to her when she is caught by casino owner Tristan. Now Emma Lia is looking fate in the eyes. Either submit to Tristan or go to jail.

Tristan is dying to break this one in!

Holy shit, Tristan is everything I would imagine a domineering male to be. Everything from his attitude to his actions is spot on. This man is hot as hell.

I am loving Emma Lia's stubbornness and her tenacity to defy undermine Tristan in every way. She's definitely not the submissive type on the outside but deep inside there is something in her that wants to bend to Tristan's every whim.

I'm intrigued by this series!

This book has me so conflicted, to the point where it really had me sitting down to think how I would rate it. Do I give a negative rating because I disliked the majority of the practices in the book or do I give it a high rating because I loved the writing so much that I couldn't put the book down or stop liking it no matter how much my brain told me to.
So this book is very very BDSM based, and all though I am no Mrs. Christian Grey I am pretty sure some of the things Tristan gets away with in this book is a big no no for any Dom.
Who the hell forces you to choose between being their literal sex slave or going to jail? Puts a monetary value on each act? Best yet, forcefully places an IUD in a non consenting unconscious woman? Honestly all of it made me a bit uneasy BUT the way it was written caught me and didn't let go.
You have Tristan who is the owner of a casino and Emma Lia who is a cheat, she counts cards and the such. Of course she is warned about going into Tristan's casino but since her twin brother is a dealer there she tries her luck. She gets caught, and owes 100K. Tristan does not want the money instead he wants her to be his submissive. Of course she does not want to but if it is a choice between jail and that....
He begins her training but instead of things going as smoothly as he would hope she fights back making him rethink his approach and finding that he likes the softer approach more than he thought he would.

Great idea that fell flat for me because the H turned into a wimp. He's a big, bad Dom who sort of kidnaps then drugs the h, invades more than her privacy with is on-call female doctor, what acts way beyond what'd expect - because he demanded it. Loved the edgy actions but I didn't like the h. She's vain, and spoiled and thinks she's smarter than she is. She is so arrogant, she puts her family at risk. But what I hated was that he found her 'assets's so spectacular, the H turns into a beta pussy cat. I was looking for good BDSM but this morphed into a romantic fairy story. Big fat disappointment.

I always love a good Alpha Male story with a strong female who is willing to relinquish control. This story surprised the hell out of me because I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did. You have a young woman who gets caught cheating a Casino, but the Owner doesn't want her to repay what she's stolen from him, he wants to use her body for his own pleasure instead. He wants a woman he can train to be his submissive, molding her into the perfect sub. She is anything but submissive, and the sparks fly between these two!
Can't wait for the next two books in the series!
