***NOW INCLUDES A SHORT PREVIEW OF "A FRAGILE WIFE"***

Two Billionaires. Two Dominants. One Drunken Bet.

IAN MATHERS

That feisty blonde�making my life hell is Kathryn, a woman whoseduced me twelve years ago. Seduced and left me in one of the most embarrassing situations of my life.

I don't hold a grudge. Not really. How can I when�I still find myself staring at her�every time she's around? How can I want her to leave my presence when all I think about is her watching my every move, studying me... wanting me?

Oh,�I still want her.�I need to have her like the world needs the sun. There's just�one problem.

She's a Domme.

I have no idea how to seduce a woman I refuse to let control me.

KATHRYN ALISON

Ian is smug, condescending... and so stupidly handsome that�I can't stop thinking about him�as we work together. When the sparks fly so hot that�we finally get what we've wanted�for the longest decade ever, I make�the greatest mistake of my life.
I propose a friendly wager that sees the loser submitting to the other for a night.

I never anticipated losing.

--EXCERPT--

He's so close that his breath tickles my chin. "That means you and I are a lot more experienced at certain things than we were, what was it, twelve years ago?"

"Okay."

"We're also better at forgiving. So, do you forgive me, Katie?"

I'm not sure what's happening. The room is spinning. Something that feels like fatigue infuses into me. I'm awake, but... what's controlling me? "Forgive you for what?"

"For that day. I forgive you."

Another swallow. My lips are so dry. "Yeah. I forgive you."

"Kiss me."

"What?"

His hand is squeezing mine so hard that I don't doubt he's bruising the both of us. It hurts. Oh, God, does it hurt. Everything. Everything hurts. My hand, my arm, my heart.

"If you believe me, kiss me."

"And what will that solve?"

There's that shrug. That smug, I-don't-really-care shrug. Except I know he totally cares right now. "Let's find out."

It would be so easy to lean forward and kiss those lips. To know how much experience he now has. To express everything I've learned in the same amount of time.

Like how I've become a Domme.

Dommes don't do this.

They're not seduced by men like Ian. They don't have the control stripped from them, at any time...

Except. Except. Isn't he giving me some control right now? He's left the ball in my court. All I have to do is pick it up and toss it back to him.

I'm in control. Anything that happens from here is because I wanted it to happen.

No regrets.

No fears.

I'm a Domme, which means I know what kind of man Ian is. No matter what happens, he'll take care of me. And I'll take care of him. Mostly that one, because I have been given control.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath. Next thing I know? Boom. My whole life has changed.

And my name is muttered on my lips, Ian Mathers's tongue slipping against mine. The pain in my hand is absolutely exquisite, and I slip far, far into the comfort of something so long ago and familiar.

He's as good a kisser as the girls at school said he was.

Want to read again and again!
By Speed Reader
This lengthy series is now compacted into one solid novel. We laugh, we cry, we want to shake them both by the shoulders and tell them to pull themselves together! They're in love! Can't they see it? I loved this story so much that I want to read it over and over again. Definitely set aside a chunk of time to tear into this beast. Don't worry, though, the writing is easy to read and there's lots of snappy dialogue propelling it forward!

More like 90% Dom, 10% Domme
By RedRedtheycallmeRed
I borrowed this with my Amazon Prime membership, and I'm glad I didn't buy it because I felt like the blurb was misleading. There was very little equality in this relationship. There will be SOME SPOILERS in my review.

Ian and Kathryn are both dominants (and of course they're both rich and beautiful), both harboring an attraction from high school. They have vanilla-ish sex a couple of times, but are aware that a relationship probably wouldn't work between them. They make a stupid, drunken bet that Ian wins (which I knew he would, the other outcome MADE ZERO SENSE). And thus starts my many disappointments with this trilogy.

I liked Kathryn at first. Strong, smart heroines are the type I like to read about. Too bad she didn't stay that way. Ian was condescending 90% of the time, and even when admits he's been jerk, it doesn't feel like he really believes it.

Of course Ian wins the bet, because if Kathryn had won, this book might have actually been interesting. Instead, it's the same old sexist crap I've read before. Ian keeps going on about how much he likes who Kathryn is, yet in the next second it's all about how much he wants to change her to fit his needs (never mind about Kathryn's needs, only Ian's are important). The second book was mostly about her training, in which Ian acts like even more of a tool, shows Kathryn less and less respect, and Kathryn becomes more and more of a doormat. Every time she'd stand up for herself, it was right back to doormat. So frustrating. I started skimming a lot, especially the sex scenes.

Kathryn finally pulls her head out of her butt and takes a break from Ian after realizing he's a selfish jerk who says he loves her but clearly doesn't respect her. She's still a domme, and she wants to turn the tables on Ian. Of course he says no (because he's a selfish jerk), but finally agrees only because he needs Kathryn's money. So it finally happens when the third book is almost over, and it's so...lame. Really lame. Again with the sexist crap. He gets to be a real dom, but she just gets to play at it a little with him. The last scene at the club made me hate Ian even more, and Kathryn too because she's back to doormat.

WOW! Really great series and ending
By Beauty95
Bite Me
This is a good story about two people (Kathryn, who is a Domme, and Ian, a Dom) who are obstinate and used to getting what they want. They have known each other since they were teenagers (after the awkward and embarrassing incident that each of them never forgot), and it has been 12 years since they have seen each other face-to-face. Because of their family businesses, they are asked by their fathers to help with the proposal for the purchase of the Grand Hotel. During their working relationship, they find that their attraction to each other is intense and it escalates, but they know that there is no chance for it to work because she is a Domme and he is a Dom. After a drunken night a bet is made. Who will win the bet between the two? Because of their BDSM lifestyle, can Kathryn and Ian ignore the fact that she is a Domme and he is a Dom to pursue a relationship or to satisfy their sexual attraction?

Fight You
The second book of Dom vs. Domme series continues with the story of Kathryn and Ian, which delves deeper into their relationship. Kathryn finds that her feelings for Ian have changed and it seems as if the deeper she gets involved with Ian, she has to compromise her identity, push her boundaries, take risks, and worry about her insecurities. When their families meet at Ian father’s house, their families find out about their relationship, which they were trying to hide, after a surprise visitor is invited. To further complicate their relationship, Ian divulges that he ‘thinks he loves her’ after their love making and in return Kathryn tells him that she loves him. After the surprise visitor that was invited at Ian father’s house appears at Ian’s house the next day, will she try to blackmail both Ian and Kathryn about their lifestyles? Or after taking a picture of Kathryn, will she blackmail just Kathryn to get what she wants? This makes you wonder if they will be able to sustain their relationship—I hope so.

Save Us
Really great series! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The third and final book of Dom vs. Domme series, Save Us, continues with the story of Kathryn and Ian, who are obstinate and used to getting what they want. This book delves deeper into their relationship and shows how Ian and Kathryn’s relationship has flourished. Finally, Kathryn realizes that she does not want to give up her identity of being a Domme even after she has submitted to Ian. The realization that there are two distinct personalities (Katie that loves Ian and submits to him and Kathryn the Domme who is very confident) makes Kathryn contemplate if Ian would submit to her as well. Because one of the investors did not provide his portion of the money for the hotel, Ian and his father needs additional money ($15 MM) before they can have the grand opening to the hotel, and Ian had to relent and ask Kathryn for the money. Kathryn gives Ian an ultimatum that if he wants the money for the hotel and her as a submissive, he would have to submit to her. Since Ian is an alpha Dom, will he accept Kathryn’s ultimatum to submit to her in order to get the money for the hotel? There are a few bombshells that occurred before the end of the book that were very astonishing. Can Ian and Kathryn handle these revelations? Will this affect their relationship and their love for each other? I love this series by Cynthia Dane, who is a very good writer and this trilogy is well written. If you enjoy reading books with hot scenes and lots of sex, then this would be a great read.

I received these books as an ARC for an honest review.

How a Car Accident Upset a Plot
By Acute Observer
Give 'Em the Ax, A.A. Fair

Donald Lam returned from the South Seas, he had suffered from a tropical disease. The meeting has some sly humor. Miss Georgia Rushe entered the office for help. She had been friendly with her boss Ellery Crail, then went on vacation. When she returned her boss suddenly got married! Mr. Crail had hit Irma Begley's car, and an offer to repair her car and pay her bills soon led to a quick marriage. Georgia wants Cool & Lam to investigate Irma and the Rendezvous business she wants Ellery to buy (Chapter 1). Lam discovers Irma had been in an earlier accident (Chapter 2). Chapter 3 tells about the Rendezvous clubs that operated in the afternoon. Lam is recognized and told to leave. Lam interviews the other man who was sued by Irma Begley, and meets someone from the Rimley Rendezvous. Billy Prue has information, and explains it to Lam. But when she returns to her apartment she finds a dead body (Chapter 5).

The police arrive to take their statements (Chapter 7). Bertha Cool was traced from her earlier accident (while investigating). Lam learns about the dead man's nephew (Chapter 8) and his relationship with Billy Prue. Lam gets a surprising telephone call after the murder weapon is found (Chapter 9). Who could have planted it? Could a clock be changed to create an alibi? Billy Prue tells Lam about Stanberry's racket (Chapter 10). Chapter 12 explains how multiple parties can be held liable for one accident. But one party can make a deal with the plaintiff. Is there a reason why this case should be settled out of court? Can a person be sued to sway their testimony (Chapter 13)? Or to influence a witness? The testimony about the accident sounds like a real court case (Chapter 14). [This is a lesson in testifying about an auto accident when unprepared. If you are ever in an accident write down all the details as soon as possible. Lawyers earn a living by analyzing testimony and making opposing witnesses sound stupid.]

There is a surprise when the lawyers want to settle out of court (Chapter 15). Miss Rushe had a change of mind. [There is more humor in this chapter.] As part of the settlement Lam gets the names of the witnesses and the license numbers of every car that was there. Lam reviews the notes and finds a surprise that leads to a solution of the conflict (Chapter 16). Lam figures out why the handle of that ax was sawn through (Chapter 17). Detective Frank Sellers arrives to conclude the story; the ending is a surprise (Chapter 18). The last chapter ties up the loose ends. [I found the ending to be sort of tacked-on]. Did the famous Fall River murders inspire the method of hiding the ax?

But one party can make a deal with the plaintiff. Is there a reason why this case should be settled out of court? Can a person be sued to sway their testimony (Chapter 13)? Or to influence a witness? The testimony about the accident sounds like a real court case (Chapter 14). [This is a lesson in testifying about an auto accident when unprepared. If you are ever in an accident write down all the details as soon as possible. Lawyers earn a living by analyzing testimony and making opposing witnesses sound stupid.]

There is a surprise when the lawyers want to settle out of court (Chapter 15). Miss Rushe had a change of mind. [There is more humor in this chapter.] As part of the settlement Lam gets the names of the witnesses and the license numbers of every car that was there. Lam reviews the notes and finds a surprise that leads to a solution of the conflict (Chapter 16). Lam figures out why the handle of that ax was sawn through (Chapter 17). Detective Frank Sellers arrives to conclude the story; the ending is a surprise (Chapter 18). The last chapter ties up the loose ends. [I found the ending to be sort of tacked-on]. Did the famous Fall River murders inspire the method of hiding the ax?

Lady Sings the Blues: The 50th-Anniversay Edition with a Revised Discography (Harlem Moon Classics), by Billie Holiday, William Dufty

Originally released by Doubleday in 1956, Harlem Moon Classics celebrates the publication with the fiftieth-anniversary edition of Billie Holiday’s unforgettable and timeless memoir, updated with an insightful introduction and a revised discography, both written by celebrated music writer David Ritz.

Lady Sings the Blues is the fiercely honest, no-holds-barred autobiography of Billie Holiday, the legendary jazz, swing, and standards singing sensation. Taking the reader on a fast-moving journey from Holiday’s rough-and-tumble Baltimore childhood (where she ran errands at a whorehouse in exchange for the chance to listen to Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith albums), to her emergence on Harlem’s club scene, to sold-out performances with the Count Basie Orchestra and with Artie Shaw and his band, this revelatory memoir is notable for its trenchant observations on the racism that darkened Billie’s life and the heroin addiction that ended it too soon. We are with her during the mesmerizing debut of “Strange Fruit”; with her as she rubs shoulders with the biggest movie stars and musicians of the day (Bob Hope, Lana Turner, Clark Gable, Benny Goodman, Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, and more); and with her through the scrapes with Jim Crow, spats with Sarah Vaughan, ignominious jailings, and tragic decline. All of this is told in Holiday’s tart, streetwise style and hip patois that makes it read as if it were written yesterday.

Chapter 1


Some Other Spring


Mom and Pop were just a couple of kids when they got married. He was eighteen, she was sixteen, and I was three.

Mom was working as a maid with a white family. When they found out she was going to have a baby they just threw her out. Pop's family just about had a fit, too, when they heard about it. They were real society folks and they never heard of things like that going on in their part of East Baltimore.

But both kids were poor. And when you're poor, you grow up fast.

It's a wonder my mother didn't end up in the workhouse and me as a foundling. But Sadie Fagan loved me from the time I was just a swift kick in the ribs while she scrubbed floors. She went to the hospital and made a deal with the head woman there. She told them she'd scrub floors and wait on the other bitches laying up there to have their kids so she could pay her way and mine. And she did. Mom was thirteen that Wednesday, April 7, 1915, in Baltimore when I was born.

By the time she worked her way out of hock in the hospital and took me home to her folks, I was so big and smart I could sit up in a carriage. Pop was doing what all the boys did then--peddling papers, running errands, going to school. One day he came along by my carriage, picked me up and started playing with me. His mother saw him and came hollering. She dragged at him and said, "Clarence, stop playing with that baby. Everybody is going to think it's yours."

"But, Mother, it is mine," he'd tell her. When he talked back to his mother like this she would really have a fit. He was still only fifteen and in short pants. He wanted to be a musician and used to take lessons on the trumpet. It was almost three years before he got long pants for the wedding.

After they were married awhile we moved into a little old house on Durham Street in Baltimore. Mom had worked as a maid up North in New York and Philly. She'd seen all the rich people with their gas and electric lights and she decided she had to have them too. So she saved her wages for the day. And when we moved in we were the first family in the neighborhood to have gas and electricity.

It made the neighbors mad, Mom putting in the gas. They said putting pipes in the ground would bring the rats out. It was true. Baltimore is famous for rats.

Pop always wanted to blow the trumpet but he never got the chance. Before we got one to blow, the Army grabbed him and shipped him overseas. It was just his luck to be one of the ones to get it from poison gas over there. It ruined his lungs. I suppose if he'd played piano he'd probably have got shot in the hand.

Getting gassed was the end of his hopes for the trumpet but the beginning of a successful career on the guitar. He started to learn it when he was in Paris. And it was a good thing he did. Because it kept him from going to pieces when he got back to Baltimore. He just had to be a musician. He worked like hell when he got back and eventually got a job with McKinney's Cotton Pickers. But when he went on the road with that band it was the beginning of the end of our life as a family. Baltimore got to be just another one-night stand.

While Pop was overseas in the war, Mom had worked in a factory making Army overalls and uniforms. When Pop hit the road, the war jobs were finished and Mom figured she could do better going off up North as a maid. She had to leave me with my grandparents, who lived in a poor little old house with my cousin Ida, her two small children, Henry and Elsie, and my great-grandmother.

All of us were crowded in that little house like fishes. I had to sleep in the same bed with Henry and Elsie, and Henry used to wet it every night. It made me mad and sometimes I'd get up and sit in a chair until morning. Then my cousin Ida would come in in the morning, see the bed, accuse me of wetting it, and start beating me. When she was upset she'd beat me something awful. Not with a strap, not with a spank on the ass, but with her fists or a whip.

She just didn't understand me. Other kids, when they did something wrong, would lie their way out of it. But if I did anything wrong I'd come right out and admit it. And she'd have a fit, call me a sinner and tell me I'd never amount to anything. She never got through telling my mother I was going to bring home a baby and disgrace the damn family like she did. One time she heard me say "Damn it" and she thought this was so sinful she tossed a pot of hot starch at me. She missed, though, because I ducked.

She was always finding fault with whatever I did, but she never did pick up on Henry. He was her son and he could do no wrong. When I got tired of getting beaten because he wet the bed I got Elsie one night and convinced her we should both sleep on the floor. She was scared. It was cold and she thought we might freeze.

"All right," I told her, "so we might freeze. But if we ain't frozen to death in the morning, the bed'll be wet and we won't be in it."

It was and we weren't, so this time Cousin Ida beat me for being smart with her. "Henry's weak," she said.

You couldn't tell her nothing about Henry, why that boy used to give us girls a terrible time. He even tried to do what we called "that thing" to us while we were sleeping. Sometimes we would be so tired from fighting this little angel off all night, we wouldn't wake up in time for school. I used to try to plead with him because I knew it wouldn't do any good to talk to Cousin Ida.

"Henry," I'd say to him, "it ain't so bad with me. I'm only your cousin. But Elsie's your sister, and besides, she's sick."

Henry grew up to be a prize fighter and then a minister. But when he was little I had hell with that boy.

One day we were playing baseball and afterwards I was sitting on the curb. I was scared of the tiniest bugs, anything that crawled, and Henry knew it. This day he came up to me holding one of Baltimore's biggest goddamn rats by the tail, swinging it in my face.

"Don't do that, Henry," I begged him.

"What's the matter, you scared?" he said, grinning and swinging it closer and closer to me.

"All girls is scared of rats and bugs," I said.

He kept right on swinging. Finally he hit me in the face with the rat. I took a baseball bat and put him in the Johns Hopkins Hospital.

I don't think my grandma ever understood me either, but she never beat me like Cousin Ida did, and that was something. My grandpop loved me, though. He was half Irish and named after his father, Charles Fagan, who was straight from Ireland.

The one I really liked best, though, was my great-grandmother, my grandfather's mother.

She really loved me and I was crazy about her. She had been a slave on a big plantation in Virginia and she used to tell me about it. She had her own little house in the back of the plantation. Mr. Charles Fagan, the handsome Irish plantation owner, had his white wife and children in the big house. And he had my great-grandmother out in back. She had sixteen children by him, and all of them were dead by then except Grandpop.

We used to talk about life. And she used to tell me how it felt to be a slave, to be owned body and soul by a white man who was the father of her children. She couldn't read or write, but she knew the Bible by heart from beginning to end and she was always ready to tell me a story from the Scriptures.

She was ninety-six or ninety-seven then and had dropsy. I used to take care of her every day after school. No one else paid any attention. I'd give her a bath sometimes. And I'd always bind her legs with fresh cloths and wash the smelly old ones.

She'd been sleeping in chairs for ten years. The doctor had told her she'd die if ever she laid down. But I didn't know. And once after I'd changed the cloths on her legs and she had told me a story, she begged me to let her lie down. She said she was tired. I didn't want to let her. But she kept begging and begging. It was pitiful.

Finally I spread a blanket on the floor and helped her stretch out. Then she asked me to lie down with her because she wanted to tell me another story. I was tired too. I'd been up early that morning to scrub steps. So I laid down with her. I don't remember the story she told me because I fell asleep right away.

I woke up four or five hours later. Grandma's arm was still tight around my neck and I couldn't move it. I tried and tried and then I got scared. She was dead, and I began to scream. The neighbors came running. They had to break Grandma's arm to get me loose. Then they took me to a hospital. I was there for a month. Suffering from what they said was shock.

When I got home Cousin Ida started right in where she had left off, beating me. This time it was for letting Grandma out of her chair. The doctor tried to stop her. He said if she kept it up I'd grow up to be nervous. But she never stopped.


I was a woman when I was sixteen. I was big for my age, with big breasts, big bones, a big fat healthy broad, that's all. So I started working out then, before school and after, minding babies, running errands, and scrubbing those damn white steps all over Baltimore.

When families in the neighborhood used to pay me a nickel for scrubbing them down, I decided I had to have more money, so I figured out a way. I bought me a brush of my own, a bucket, some rags, some Octagon soap, and a big white bar of that stuff I can't ever forget--Bon Ami.

The first time I stood on a white doorstep and asked this woman for fifteen cents for the job, she like to had a fit. But I explained to her the higher price came from me bringing my own supplies. She thought I had a damn nerve, I guess, but while she was thinking it over I said I'd scrub the kitchen or bathroom floor for the same price. That did it. I had the job.

All these bitches were lazy. I knew it and that's where I had them. They didn't care how filthy their damn houses were inside, as long as those white steps were clean. Sometimes I'd bring home as much as ninety cents a day. I even made as high as $2.10--that's fourteen kitchen or bathroom floors and as many sets of steps.

When I went into the scrubbing business it was the end of roller skating, bike riding, and boxing, too. I used to like boxing. In school they used to teach us girls to box. But I didn't keep it up. Once a girl hit me on the nose and it just about finished me. I took my gloves off and beat the pants off her. The gym teacher got so sore, I never went near the school gym again.

But whether I was riding a bike or scrubbing somebody's dirty bathroom floor, I used to love to sing all the time. I liked music. If there was a place where I could go and hear it, I went.

Alice Dean used to keep a whorehouse on the corner nearest our place, and I used to run errands for her and the girls. I was very commercial in those days. I'd never go to the store for anybody for less than a nickel or a dime. But I'd run all over for Alice and the girls, and I'd wash basins, put out the Lifebuoy soap and towels. When it came time to pay me, I used to tell her she could keep the money if she'd let me come up in her front parlor and listen to Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith on her victrola.

A victrola was a big deal in those days, and there weren't any parlors around that had one except Alice's. I spent many a wonderful hour there listening to Pops and Bessie. I remember Pops' recording of "West End Blues" and how it used to gas me. It was the first time I ever heard anybody sing without using any words. I didn't know he was singing whatever came into his head when he forgot the lyrics. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba and the rest of it had plenty of meaning for me--just as much meaning as some of the other words that I didn't always understand. But the meaning used to change, depending on how I felt. Sometimes the record would make me so sad I'd cry up a storm. Other times the same damn record would make me so happy I'd forget about how much hard-earned money the session in the parlor was costing me.

But Mom didn't favor her daughter hanging around the house on the corner. And especially she couldn't understand why I wasn't bringing home any loot. "I know Eleanora," she used to complain, Eleanora being the name I'd been baptized under, "and she don't work for nobody for nothing." When Mom found out I was using my hard-earned money paying rent on Alice's parlor to listen to jazz on the victrola, she nearly had a fit too.

I guess I'm not the only one who heard their first good jazz in a whorehouse. But I never tried to make anything of it. If I'd heard Louis and Bessie at a Girl Scout jamboree, I'd have loved it just the same. But a lot of white people first heard jazz in places like Alice Dean's, and they helped label jazz "whorehouse music."

By Brandi Paige
This was a great book. Although I've heard all of it might not be true, it's still a captivating book. What I liked most about it is that I actually took and keep to heart some very wonderful quotes that Billie said that really touched me and helped me face some things in my own life. If your expecting a full biography about her life then you might want to read a different book. This was written by her only up to a certain time in her life, so it's by no means a full biography. . . However, she tells some amazing stories about her life and how she came to be from her point of view, which I thought made a wonderful read. I think this is great book to start reading if you have the initial spark of interest in Billie Holiday's life. Keeps you interested and wanting to read more about her!

Hoodwinked by life...
By Elizabeth Echavarria
I gave this book four stars because when I read about the inaccuracies and false stories in her memoir I just didn't know how to approach the book. I wanted to read a factual version of her life but I settled for thinking of this book as a work of fiction inspired by the life of Billie Holiday. Reading from another source and confirmed by the book, I learned that this talented woman had a fascinating but tragic existence due to personal abuse with drugs, men, and the injustice of society due to racism and being a woman. It was also tragic how hard she worked and was consistently swindled monetarily from the people (often men) who were suppose to have her best interest professionally at heart. She died with only change in her bank account and an insignificant amount of money on her person (not in the book). I also gave the book four stars because I had some difficulties understanding the urban lingo of the time period, often becoming confused because there wasn't additional explanation for some of the slang used. Overall, the book was an interesting read but a disappointment as far as accuracy.

Lady Sings the Blues
By Karl H Schwerin
William Dufty presents Holiday's biography in her own voice. She is unflinching in describing the difficulties and triumphs of her life. Though she doesn't particularly stress it, her musical achievement is impressive.
One gets the sense that she was uncompromising in acknowledging her identity as a Black woman--sometimes exploited, but just as often standing up for herself. She refuses to be pigeonholed by promoters, associates, the press, or her fans. She acknowledges her addiction to heroin and decries how it came to label her and her experiences with the law enforcement community. She emphasizes her strong desire to get clean and stay clean, in spite of the difficulty of her struggle.
