Five Weeks In December (Twisted & Tied #1) by Blue Kincaid

Erotica with a lot of heart is what comes to mind after reading book one in the Twisted & Tied series. I am and was pleasantly surprised at just how much I liked Five Weeks in December.

Unlike so many books that are out at the moment this one was more about rebuilding and building up courage to live again. Be part of a world again.

Harry hires December to help get back in the game. Two years ago his wife dies reroute to her lover. A lover Harry never knew about until after her death. His marriage and his role as dominate in that marriage has been shaken.

December is a professional submissive and has a gift for “fixing” broken dominates. Not all through sex. That is only something she does when she trusts and forms a friendship. By no means is she a prostitute or escort. I think knowing this about December makes her so likeable.

As you can guess what starts of as a professional service turns into much more and the story just rolls on from there. At the half way point I was worried that the direction of the story was changing and I was not at all happy, however I was exceedingly happy when Harry changed his mind! I highlighted much during my read, but after second though I find it better to let the reader discover these adoring quotes on their own. So, all in all I found that the sexy times were steamy and the loveable times sweet.  A very good read.

Two years ago tragedy took Harry Everett's confidence as a man and as a Dom. And while he's managed to continue to live his life, what he hasn't been able to do is venture back into the lifestyle that used to be as much a part of him as breathing. The trust he once had in his instincts is broken and for the first time in his life, this alpha man is lost and without answers. So when a friend suggests perhaps a professional submissive could help him, Harry's reluctantly willing to try. He doesn't hold out much hope, though. Until she shows up on his doorstep and turns everything upside down.

A professional submissive for the past seven years, December doesn't belong to any one master. And she likes it that way. But when her best friend’s Dom asks December to help his friend, she can't resist the chance to really do some good. Here's a man who doesn't just want someone to flog - he needs what she can provide and December is determined to help. She's prepared for this to be tough, but what she's not prepared for is how Harry makes her feel. It’s obvious from the beginning that he’s not like any other client and this is not just a job – for either of them.

She’s got five weeks to help him heal.

He’s got five weeks to learn how to keep her… or how to let her go.
