Club Surrender #1
A Very Kinky Holiday
Sometimes love is the sweetest when you go in blind…folded.
Well-meaning friends can either lead to disaster or another chance at happiness.
Nolan and Mia have suffered through their own tragedies. Nolan dove into work, taking over his grandfather’s company, and Mia focused on being a single parent and her growing catering business. Individually they come to the understanding that it’s time to find a balance between grieving and living again.
Meddling friends and a blind date photoshoot lead to a weekend getaway, reigniting a passion neither Nolan or Mia ever expected to feel again. Join Mia in trying to find freedom in his ropes and surrender under his belt; while Nolan finds the peace he’s been searching for by being the nurturing dominant she needs.
But Mia has more than just herself to consider, and she can’t bear the thought of putting her family through another heartbreak. If Daddy has his way about it, though, the presents won’t be the only thing wrapped up under the tree this Christmas…

November 20, 2022Huge thank you to the author for sending me a copy of A Very Kinky Holiday.
After both suffering great losses and looking to finally move, Mia and Nolan’s pesky friends set up a blind date photoshoot where the pair instantly hit it off. After texting back and forth and a steamy video call, the pair decide to spend a spicy weekend together to test out their chemistry and fulfill their fantasies.
Their story was spicy & fun, and Nolan being a soft and supportive Dom was actually nice to see compared to similar stories I’ve read. I also really loved how well they fit together, especially after losing their partners the way they did, they both deserves to find their second chance at love and they balanced each other out so well.

Mia and Nolan have both lost their partners and have been set up on a blind date with each other. Can they overcome their grief to see that they still have a life to live?
Right off the bat I loved the BDSM that was used in this book. It was a little more on the realistic side and was done a lot better than some erotica books. The story was sweet and heartbreaking, and I enjoyed watching Miq and Nolan fall in love.

Strangers to lovers, BDSM dynamics and honorifics. Good Girl. Use of rope, floggers, belts, and hooks, single mom
This is the story of Mia and Nolan, two people who had lost their partners and are convinced by their friends to meet up with someone. Through healing and encouragement Mia steps out into the dating world again. It took one look from Nolan, one photoshoot was all it took to spark depraved feelings. Nolan gives what Mia needs and ensures she’s taking care of herself.

This was a very sexy, raunchy, and sweet holiday story!
Mia a widower whose husband died unexpectedly a few years back and left her alone with a young child ...while completely heartbroken she hasn't been herself and has been really empty. Nolan trying to recover from a lost love and move on with his life because the couple times a year a Club Surrender with a sub wasn't the same because they weren't his sub. When they're both (Mia and Nolan) setup to do a stranger photoshoot it turns out more than just pictures.
Mia overcoming her emotional imbalance and finding her lost submissive self again and Nolan doing the same while finding the sub who holds his heart. The pleasure dynamic was off the flipping charts and may I add how flipping hot the sub/dom relationship was burning through the pages. The way Nolan was able to ease Mia anxiety about her son Zander having a new man in their lives was so precious. It's the pet names like bruh ....who wouldn't like to be called little one or my butterfly...like come on ...Never thought it was sexy before, but I need that in my life. My favorite panty dropping line has to be "I'm going to have you singing for me" if you know you know wooooow. I really enjoyed it!

I loved how the role of a dominant was outlined in this book. Showing that there’s more to it than just barking orders or being in charge… I enjoyed the storyline, the fact that Mia was struggling to find herself again, after having been alone and independent for so long.

Not afraid to admit that booktok of all places was where I found this and was convinced to read it. Blind date turned into a forever story. LOTS of spice, the occasional moments of sass, longing, acceptance and growth. Worth a read if you’re curious.

I absolutely adored Nolan and Mia’s story. Their connection was instant and sizzled across the pages. They were also super easy to relate to. The secondary characters just made this story so much better. Zander was such a cutie and sweetheart while Lexi and their shenanigans kept me laughing out loud. I cannot wait for Noah and Lexi’s story!!
November 26, 2022
I loved this story so much. Nolan wanted to make sure that Mia communicated with him when she was feeling down or having a rough week or anything really. Check your triggers when diving in. There were some things in here that are tough to read. Mia has to deal with grief and loss and love. The way Nolan and Mia met was adorable. Ive seen so many of the stranger photo shoots and they turn out amazing. And a good portion of them actually turn into something more, which is exactly what happened with Nolan and Mia. This story has the perfect amount of everything I need in a book: love, HEA, bondage, and smut! Lol. Its definitely worth the read.

Mia is a widow, her husband died from a brain aneurysm. Mia and her husband were into the BDSM scene and had a membership at a club. Nolan’s girlfriend died from cancer and although they don’t say we can assume they were also into the BDSM scene. Mia and Nolan meet in a blind romantic photo shoot. There is an instant attraction between the two. They begin to text one another and get to learn each other’s likes and hard limits. Although Mia is ready to get involved with Nolan she is concerned about introducing a man to her son. Since her husband passed away it has really just been the two of them them. This story is very sweet. Two people who have lost a love finding a new relationship is so touching and wonderful. The sex is very hot, steamy and sexy. There are many references to BDSM. There is mild degradation, flogging, bondage and some daddy kink as well. A truly beautiful story about two people falling in love again.

Spicy. Sweet. And so much more!
I couldn’t get enough of this book. This book will melt your kindle, but keep the tissues handy because while it’s full of kinky spice, it’s all heart at it’s core.
I adored this couple. They’ve both gone through deep heartaches, but when they find each other… *chefs kiss* Mia is such a strong feisty woman who refuses to not do it all. Running her own business and raising her son on her own, she’s running on empty and losing herself to her to-do lists. Thankfully Nolan is the perfect man to come and calm the storms for her. His strength and steady adoration is everything, and I do love a man who is good with his hands 😮💨
I loved this book. It hit all the emotional notes for me and I completely fell for the characters.

Wow. This is basically a perfect romance story with a strong BDSM core.
Mia and Nolan are both widowed. Mia has a small boy and, after 5 years, is thinking maybe of trying to date again. Mia's bestie sets her up on a blind date. Nolan is also thinking of trying relationships again and agrees to the date. They are both connected to Club Surrender, but Mia has not been there for many years and so they had not met.
The story arc is simply and beautiful. The characters are portrayed lovingly. The sex and the scenes are HOT.
Quite beautiful.

This book was amazing. Short and plot vs. spicy balanced. Mia and Nolan have not had an easy life the last couple years when it came to love but with the push of family and friends that may change. It’s not just Mia that she has to worry about. Nolan instantly feels the attraction can they both be what one another needs and take their baggage. With this being under 200 pages the spice is still there and amazing but it is very plot heavy. With a BDSM themed book I feel like that is a must and this is very well written and accurate.

Steamy Christmas Read!
This was such a good Christmas novella. This is the first book of Lenore’s that I’ve read and you can tell she knows her stuff. She wrote and delivered a really good steamy Christmas read while delivering a good plot and some emotional moments. I really enjoyed the way this developed. I would so read more of Nolan and Mia as a full length.

Single Mom
4/5 stars
After losing their respected partners unexpectedly, Nolan and Mia, meet at a blind photoshoot, through the club that they are both members of.
Mia, a single mom who is hesitant to start dating again. Nolan, is ready to go all in and restart his life with someone new. They are both struck instantly.
I related to Mia a little bit. When I first became a mom, my whole identify shifted into “just a mom”. I really lost who I was as a woman. I did a photoshoot and I felt like I was finding myself again.
Mia struggled a lot with her sexual side. Nolan made it is mission to help bring out Mia’s sensual side. He is extremely patient and understanding, but when it comes to the bedroom, he is an experienced Dom with some mad skills.
Mia and Nolan click in a way neither one of them saw coming. I seriously LOVED their first encounter.
Overall, this was a really nice and easy read. I found some of the dialogue a bit blah. I know this was a novella, and really jumped right into it, but I wanted a little bit more details as they were growing their relationship. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed this kinky wholesome novella.

A Very Kinky Holiday is a very kinky novella! Such a spicy little read. Perfect for a quick, one sitting or in between. The loss of loved ones puts Nolan & Mia on the path to each other. What happens once they meet is a heartwarming and very spicy ride. A definite recommend for me. As always make sure your comfortable with what your reading. This book does deal with loss. While light on angst, this work of fiction contains: BDSM dynamics and honorifics. Good Girl. Use of rope, floggers, belts, and hooks. This book is absolutely intended for 18+. Jump in and enjoy the ride. Happy Reading Book Besties💙

Very quick read. Mia and Nolan are the best for each other. Lots of BDSM which I normally don’t like. But I loved this book. Their pasts are so similar and the sparks were flying everywhere when they first laid eyes on each other. Their relationship grew very quickly and it was easy to fall for both of them.

Mia and Nolan were set up on a blindfolded blind date. They instantly clicked and fell for each other. He understood her so well seeing as he had a similar history. They both came from a certain lifestyle background and haven’t dipped their toes in a few years or if they didn’t it didn’t feel right. Love when they end in a HEA after the MC suffer heartbreak

A short but wholesome and sexy read. Both main characters meet at a blind photo shoot after losing their partners. What ensues is every woman’s dream. Nolan and Mia compliment each other perfectly. He ensures she takes care of herself and doesn’t take on so much that she becomes overwhelmed. I loved how patient Nolan was with Mia especially since she was hesitant in the beginning. Overall this a short, sweet and spicy read and I can’t wait to read more from the author

This is an erotic little short story especially if your into bdsm and daddy play. Mia was married and had a daddy previously but he died suddenly. She locked herself away for 5 years while raising her son and then she meets Nolan at a set up photo shoot and they hit it off. Nolan is the perfect guy for Mia he is able to take care of her and keep her in line. They end up with a collar on her neck and baby in her stomach! I loved every second of this book.
