Book Blurb: 

Alistair Ingram is finally the man he wants to be, with the woman he wants to be with. No longer ruled by his manager, producer, agent or fans’ desires, he and Bethany “Black Betty” Stavars have settled into his LA mansion and have started a life together. Everything is as it should be…until he gets the call that Bethany has been brutally attacked in their home.

Alistair can barely stand to see Bethany’s bruised and battered body, but that’s not the worst of her injuries. She regains consciousness thinking she’s still married to her ex-husband—the man responsible for putting her in the hospital in the first place—and has no recollection of being with Alistair.

Unable to coax her brain into giving her any memories of the past ten years of her life, Bethany struggles to comprehend how she could’ve ended up on the other side of the country—California instead of Florida—and living with superstar actor, Alistair Ingram. Even worse, how had she become a dominatrix at a Vegas men’s’ club?

Lucky for her, the past few months have been detailed in black and white newsprint in every gossip magazine she can get her hands on.

With their relationship hanging in the balance, there’s only one thing Alistair can do. Jog her memory the best way he knows how. In bed.


Review:  

Oh Alistair, how I remember you.  All of your pretty boy charm and your pretty boy good looks.  You haven't changed a bit.  

I loved where this book takes you.  You get to see a softer side of Black Betty aka Bethany and it's a refreshing turn to see her be her "normal" self.  It was hard to see them go through the agony of the memory loss but you really got a feel for how much Alistair loves Bethany and how much he wants to be her one and only.  I also enjoyed the fact that even through the memory loss, Bethany could still feel the connection she has with our Pretty Boy.  

I felt like this was a good easy read.  Had plenty of intrigue and plot to support it and I enjoyed seeing the changes in the relationship.  I recommend this one and look forward to seeing what Bethany does to become one person, the person she has always truly been.

Blog Tour: Review of The Submission of Alistair Ingram


 February 10, 2013
 Rating:  5 out of 5 stars
Erotica 

How is the sex?  
Amazing, erotic and romantic all in one 

How are the story lines?  
Gripping 

Would you read it again?  
Most definitely 

Back of the book:   
THE SUBMISSION OF ALISTAIR INGRAM is the first in a novella series from www.DollsandDoms.blogspot.com, where erotic tales from the Dolls & Doms private men’s club are told in weekly episodes.
Movie star Alistair Ingram strolled into Dolls & Doms private men's club in Las Vegas for his bachelor party and limped out with a torn shirt, red welts covering his chest and a broken engagement splashed all over the pages of every celebrity magazine in the country.A session with club Dominatrix, Black Betty, will do that to a man.With Alistair's manager breathing down his neck and Black Betty's abusive ex-husband alerted to where she's been hiding for the past ten years, there's only one thing to do:Lie.And get the hell out of Las Vegas.
But the real ruse is on Alistair and Black Betty, because despite both of their best efforts, they've gotten under each other's skin. Can their explicit dance of domination and submission end in anything other than disaster?
Review:

I asked for a copy of this book from the author because I had read a few episodes on her blog.  Dolls & Doms.  The author was gracious enough to send me a copy.  Needless to say, I bought the book once it was out.  This book is a keeper.

I loved Black Betty from the moment I met her.  I didn't think I could love her character more.  And then I got deeper into the book.  Black Betty and her demons are intriguing and grip you from the very moment you are introduced to her dominant ways.

Alistair Ingram is cocky and confident.  Until he meets Black Betty.  Never in his life did he think he needed or wanted to be submissive.  But then she enters his life.  And he can't seem to get enough.  And I couldn't get enough.  I couldn't put this book down.  The demons these two characters have to exorcise all while getting to know each other, was enthralling to watch.  As they fall deeper and deeper into each other they fall deeper and deeper out of their former selves.

I'm glad I requested this book because it's a damn good book and worth every moment of angst, hot sex and romance put into it.  Well done Kelli Maine, well done!
