Review: For the Roses

For the Roses by Tymber Dalton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Not all doms are made equal. And not all men who call themselves doms should be one. This story hit me in the gut from the beginning. Meri is not just down on her luck. She's been kicked whilst she's down. I reckon if she wasn't as loved by her brother, she would be a suicide potential. It's amazing to see someone who is supposed to "love you" just walk away because of a cancer. I realize she never married her boyfriend/dom and that maybe should have been an indicator something was off. This long term relationship lasted as long as Meri was useful and pretty. The second she no longer was arm candy for her asshat boyfriend, he tossed her aside. Unbelievable.

The only good thing about being at the bottom is there isn't any lower a person can go. For Meri, this is true as her little brother rides in to the rescue. Bringing her closer to him, the two of them are able to help Meri heal and get back on her feet. Part of this happens because she reconnects with a high school crush--Elvin, a teacher. No longer a student, Meri and Elvin are free to explore their old un-acted upon desires. I love a teacher/student romance when it's done right. Ms. Dalton serves up a deliciously kinky erotica with these two. Playing on their former relationship adds additional heat to this sexy story.

This story is a journey of healing and centering oneself again. It's a kind of kinky Hallmark movie that conjures up warm fuzzies with a dash of spice. This erotic novel is recommended to kinky romance readers who enjoy second chance themes.
