The Trip

---

SUMMARY

---

On the long trip back to Toronto from an art show in Detroit, Shawna's bus makes an unexpected stop in the middle of nowhere. When the bus is evacuated, she ends up alone with a man who's just as dark and dominant as the heroes in her favorite books. Her desires tempt her to let her guard down-to take a chance that he might be everything she needs-but how far is she willing to go? She's afraid to find out . . . and even more afraid not to.

Oct 12, 2011   [ OFFICIAL REVIEW ]

Getting caught reading an erotic book on a bus has never been so sexy. When a hot man with strong dominant vibe takes interest and does something about it, hold on for a wild ride! In this short story, Shawna, an artist traveling home from a show is taken in hand by Mark, another passenger.

The illicit sex scenes in a public setting were hot and thrilling. I liked the interplay between the two strangers. As the trip ends, one wonders what will happen between the two. Will they meet up again? To my surprise, the ending is with a twist. This twist hit me hard; it bruised a sore spot based on my life experiences.

Ms. Sommerlands' writing is concise and no words are wasted. I enjoyed how she showed each sexy submission. I liked seeing from Shawna's point of view. Based on the writing and smexy material, I was going to give the book a 3 star. Then the ending took my breath away. It hurt. I sucked in my breath and let out a horrified gasp. My heart broke a little for Shawna. The entire set up made sense and from a personal note, I've been in the same situation. That's when I completely connected to the story and I was moved to tears. It's a sad story in some sense yet it ends in a happily ever after. I recommend this to kinky readers who are looking their special kinky partner. There is hope, don't give up.
