Review: Freed (Club Sin #4) by Stacey Kennedy

Freed (Club Sin #4) by Stacey Kennedy

Fans who can’t get enough of USA Today bestselling author Stacey Kennedy will love this wicked, wild spinoff novel that explores how sexy life can be outside Club Sin.

Mary Schmidt knows only too well how thrilling a Master’s touch can be. Her husband, Charles, had been her ultimate fantasy, a seducer in the erotic dance of dominance and submission. She misses the sensual lifestyle they shared, but mourns him so deeply she cannot bear to embrace her submissive needs with another Dom—until a man who exudes temptation reawakens desires she can no longer deny.

Elliott Foster is dazzled by Mary. He instantly knows that she’s the woman he’s been waiting for—a woman who turns games into need. As her Master, he dares to unlock the deepest pleasures of her flesh, releasing her from pain and healing her mind. When Mary’s lithe body comes to life under his, he knows their connection goes beyond sex. Now that he has found the perfect woman, the perfect partner, the perfect submissive, he desires only to give her everything she craves.

Freed is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

5 out of 5 stars

This was an amazing story about moving on, love, and hope and I was truly touched by it.

I had planned to just look at a few pages and start another day but I started reading and I immediately wanted to know more. I felt for Mary and was intrigued by her story. Her connection with Elliot had me instantly drawn in. He is so commanding and I loved that connection the two of them shared. I was invested right from the beginning and couldn't put it down.

I really enjoyed that both the main characters in this story were a little older. It was nice seeing the perspective of an established Dom and submissive. They both knew themselves and what they wanted in the D/s department, that was refreshing. Elliot and Mary together were very passionate, there were some major steamy scenes involved.

Beyond the hotness, there was this majorly emotional story about moving on, letting go, and finding love again. This story is told from both Elliot and Mary’s POV’s and I loved getting into their heads, really getting to know them more and understand what was going on with them.The second half of the book had me crying. Not just teary eyed but full on pass the tissues crying. My heart hurt for these people and hoped for them. There was a really nice build throughout the story to their evolving relationship which I really enjoyed but the end was incredible. There's an epilogue too which was pretty darn perfect.

Beautifully written story. Fast paced. Wonderful characters that made me feel and pulled me into their world. I love the overall picture what was painted in my head, all the different characters and relationships. Everything came together nicely. I adored getting to see more of Dmitri, such a great man. Makes me want to read Claimed, book one in the series again.

I'm a Stacey Kennedy fan and I love the Club Sin series so much. I didn't know what to expect or how is feel when I started this book but Freed was so much more than a hot read that includes BDSM elements. It's about hope and life and living. Being happy. It was beautiful.
