Blurb:
When I arrived at
the club Desnúdate I had no idea
that my entire life was about to change. What started out as a strange
gift from my best friend transformed everything about me. Looking over the list of Masters at the club one name
stood out…the name he gave himself was Voodoo.
I had these desires that I couldn’t quite place. These dreams…these
images…haunted my fantasies and now all of them were about to become
reality. This man, who simply went by the name Voodoo, led me
into this lifestyle. Voodoo, his name rolls off my tongue like silk. Voodoo,
the man I would call…Master.
“Voodoo” is the first book in Justus Roux’s Master of My Heart series.
Excerpt:
Chapter
One
Amanda looked at the
clock for about the millionth time today. It seemed like time was crawling by.
She was glad that today was kind of a light day at work. There was no way she
could concentrate not after the birthday gift her friend Alice gave her.
Amanda looked over the
print ad one more time. It looked good, thank goodness. She looked up at the
clock again. Damn, she wished she would stop doing that. Time wasn’t going to
speed up because she was watching the clock.
Why in the world did
she accept Alice’s gift? What was she thinking? A million questions filled her
thoughts. Alice surprised her this morning with this unusual gift and all day
this was the only thing Amanda could think of.
“What are you doing for
your birthday, Amanda?” Rodney said as he handed her a small gift.
“You didn’t have to get
me anything.”
“I know, but I saw this
while I was shopping. It had you written all over it.”
Amanda smiled at him.
Rodney was a nice enough guy and he was always hinting at asking her out. She
was a firm believer in not mixing business with pleasure. It always got
unpleasant when these kinds of romances fizzled out and both parties still had
to work together.
“Any big plans for
tonight?” Rodney looked hopeful.
“Alice is taking me to
a club.”
“Oh…that sounds like
fun.” Rodney couldn’t hide his disappointment.
Amanda opened the small
box, inside was a beautiful pendant. It was a little golden elephant holding a
small sapphire in its raised trunk.
“You mentioned that you
collect things with elephants on it.”
“Thank you, Rodney.
This was very nice of you.”
“You’re welcome. Happy
birthday, Amanda.”
“Thank you.” Amanda
smiled at him.
Rodney went happily
back to his desk. He seemed very pleased that she enjoyed his gift.
Amanda looked back up
at the clock. Ten more minutes then she could head home. She set the ad aside
she was working on. She did some more busy work. Holy crap these last minutes
were like movie minutes they went on and on.
“Finally,” she sighed
when it was time for her to leave. She quickly hurried to gather her things
then headed out. She didn’t want to give Rodney a chance to ask her out for a
drink. She was too wound up about tonight and didn’t want to hurt his feelings
by turning him down. She got to her car and headed home.
Amanda took a shower
then stood in front of her closet. What was she going to wear? What was she
expected to wear?
Alice worked as a
waitress in a BDSM club named Desnúdate.
Only members were allowed in this club. Alice secretly submitted Amanda’s name
and pulled some strings to get the head Master to allow Amanda to join as a
submissive. Tonight Amanda was going to pick her Master.
“This is absurd.”
Amanda felt like she was going to be sick. What in the hell was Alice thinking?
Amanda walked over to her bed and sat.
“Hey girl,” Alice said
as she came into the room. “You aren’t dressed yet?”
“Well excuse me if I
don’t know what to wear to a club that basically translated into English means
get naked.”
“You don’t have to be
naked, silly. In fact it is frowned upon. They have playrooms…”
“Playrooms?” Amanda
interrupted her.
“So you and your Master
can play a little spank and tickle.”
“I’m not just going to
fuck a random stranger.”
“I would hope not on
your first meeting. Jupiter wouldn’t like that.”
“Jupiter?”
“One of the head
Masters at the club. Everyone has a code name remember. Speaking of code names
what is going to be yours?” Alice looked through Amanda’s closet.
“My code name? Oh
shit…well I’m guessing that all those Masters will give themselves the name of
some god.”
“Pretty much.”
“How will I know which
one to choose or is one chosen for me?”
“You choose your
Master. You will be given a menu so don’t worry.”
“A menu?”
“I thought I was just
meeting with a Master.”
“You are, but you will
feel sexy. Can’t hurt. Now hurry up and get ready.”
Amanda found her lacy
black bra and panties. She also wore her thigh-high stockings. She always felt
sexy wearing these underneath whatever she was wearing. She put the little
black dress on and looked at herself in the mirror. She let her long brown hair
hang loose. Her makeup wasn’t too severe but emphasized her big brown eyes. The
dress showed off her curves and added length to her small frame. She made sure
to wear her four inch stilettos. She grabbed her small black clutch purse and
threw her cellphone, lipstick, compact and wallet into it.
“Well here goes
nothing.” She convinced herself she had nothing to lose. Why not check this
club out? At the very least it would provide some very interesting people
watching.

11/29: You Gotta Read ReviewsOkay so I'm not sure about my review for this book. For me I loved and struggled with some stuff in this book. I tried to keep an open mind through the entire book and can honestly say without a doubt that I could not be a submissive 24/7. And that is what this book pretty much surrounds. I've read some BDSM books where during certain times the Dom/Sub realtionship comes out, but never something that would be full time. It's very different and interesting and different.
So the story takes place with Amanda getting a birthday present from her bff Alice. Recently Amanda has been interested in the BDSM world. She wants the chance to explore it....and it just so happens that Alice works for just such a place. So Amanda goes one night and looks over the menu....to find the type of Dom she would like to try. She picks one off the menu and then goes to a meeting room to talk and see if they are a match in the sense to see if they would like to take it to the next level and try out a "relationship". When you go to the club no one uses their real names so Amanda a.k.a. Iris chooses Master Voodoo. They meet and they are both intrigued enough to meet again. However, Voodoo gives Iris some homework.
They end up meeting once a week for the next several weeks. Iris is ALL over the place when they meet up and she experiences new things and explores a side of her she's been curious about. It also helps that Voodoo is a pretty awesome teacher. My only issue with him is the whole you and me when we enter this thing and uggg 3 cows.......that I for sure know about. Anyways as their time continues Iris/Amanda begins to see a shift in her real world and her actions. I've never truly read about or seen a true submissive and this book was a huge eye opener to that. Amanda fit the role perfectly....however, I think she only did because of who her Master was.
Speaking of Masters I honestly thought Voodoo and Iris would have more issues with Zeus.....but that was just me. However, what's a book without some drama? Rodney is Amanda's co-worker and he's had a thing for Amanda for a long time. But she isn't interested and apparently he can't take that hint. And he truly shows his colors when he finds out that she's "dating" Voodoo. And ahhh I hate Rodney....I'd like to smack him around a bit.
Anyways this story continues to explore the bounds of a "relationship" with Voodoo and Iris. She wants more and he really may not be able to give it. He needs a submissive 24/7 and Iris may or may not be that person. Overall, I was intrigued by this book because it something not in the norm. It was a quick read and grabbed my attention from the menu. I would recommend this book to those curious or just looking for something a little different. So make sure to go get a copy and read all about Voodoo and Iris and if they will find what they need with each other.
