Hidden Mischief (Shattered Embrace Series) by Alyndra Quinn – Review by Ayla Phipps

Hidden Mischief by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Domination. Submission. Longing and need. This is the first book I have read by Alyndra Quinn, and I am honestly struggling to organize my thoughts on her amazing talent. Hidden Mischief is the first book in a new series and part one of Ashton and Zachary’s duet.
Ashton is a scientist, everything she does is well researched, thought out and planned. Zachary is the billionaire CEO, Dom that every sub dreams of, only he doesn’t commit long term. Ashton took the biggest leap in her life applying to Shattered Embrace, the local kink club. Only she was full of doubts and fears from the start. Her best friend is co-owner and after years of carefully hiding half of her soul away from him the time has come to be her whole self. Zachary has never “chased” a woman before, but the instant Graham brings her application to him for her interview he’s intrigued by her impact on the experienced Dom. By chance the Ashton in the file is her and he can’t resist the questions in his mind of how she hid under two very established Dom’s without them realizing she was a soul-deep sub. A chance day full of important meetings start their interview early and the immediate electricity, intrigue, rightness, is combustible. She landed in his lap; he wasn’t looking for her and never realized he needed her but now he needs her to be his and no one else’s.
Can Ashton finally be whole? Will Zachary be able to heal her twice rejected soul? How can they work when one is a serial casual and the other plays for keeps? While the overall world isn’t made up the shear intrigue of their world and how they move within it is perfect. Ashton isn’t a doe eyed woman ignoring red flags and chasing fantasies from a book she wants acceptance, to be wanted, and desired. I cannot wait to start book two, Managing Mischief here I come. I just hope they find their HEA because lord they deserve it, and my soul needs it at this point.
