Discovering Desire (Shattered Embrace Series) by Alyndra Quinn – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Discovering Desire by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance set within the ‘Club Shattered Embrace’ world. The storyline revolves around a steamy love triangle involving Justine, Jordan and Derek. Derek Ingram is an ex Navy SEAL, who having joined Ingram Enterprises is now a billionaire corporate mogul. Whilst playing at the BDSM club he finds himself attracted to two very different but independent women. Justine is using the club to help her with her doctoral in authenticity, as Club Shattered Embrace is perfect for people-watching. She never expected to get involved with the emotionally distant playboy Derek. He teaches a class on power dynamics but the lines between academic and personal get blurred.

Meanwhile event planner Jordan loves going to the club to experience adventure, passion and pleasure, with multiple partners. One of those is Derek but she starts to want more than a casual relationship with him. Derek thought he had left danger behind him, but then the head of a powerful family, Lucian targets his brother Zachary and his sub. Derek needs to take Lucian down whilst keeping those he loves safe, including Justine and Jordan. As usual the BDSM Club Shattered Embrace is brought to life through the descriptive narrative. The characters are likeable and relatable. The romance between those in the love triangle came across in the story. Whilst their chemistry sizzled off the page and led to some steamy scenes. This is an entertaining series.
