This is what they meant by erotic romance.
Carrie's Answer has all the elements of the traditional romance genre (tender, sweet, compelling characters struggling through some sort of hurdle to be together) but it has the BDSM and brief ménage (m/f/m) twist to add the erotic spice readers are looking for. Not the raw, edgy somewhat dark BDSM story I am used to, this one is loving and endearing.
Carrie Worthington has held a torch for her boss, Marcus Worthington, since going to work for him. For the past ten years, she stood by him through the highs and lows, especially the low point of his divorce when his ex-wife publicized his lifestyle as a Dom. Still, Marcus never sees her as anything other than his secretary. That is, until he spots her at the local BDSM-themed club. Unable to deal with his newfound lust he terminates her employment.
But Carrie fights back. She has a contract and if he wants out, he has to give her one weekend to be trained by him to be a submissive. And that's when the sparks turn into a roaring blaze.
Marcus has been hurt before, and I could relate to his desire to protect his heart and keep a barrier up. He's been the clueless fool one too many times and he keeps expecting Carrie to be the same. Poor Carrie has waited long enough and I love how she took the reins to claim her man. She wasn't going to let him chase her away. Whatever he wanted, she was there, submitting to all his needs and desires.
I think my favorite part was when he gave her a simple velvet collar to wear for the weekend and she just about melted. Me, too.
This story is the first in the series The Worthington Group. We did meet some other characters, but for the most part Carrie and Marcus dominated the action. The pacing was quick. The sex was written incredibly well. And the characters had undeniable chemistry. I've already bought books two and three, so clearly I'm sold on the series.
I enjoyed having a sweeter side to a BDSM story. I love my raw, dark, edgy characters, but this was a fun excursion. It's pretty much loving, sensual BDSM that would be easy tolerated by those unfamiliar with the genre. Enjoy!

You MUST read the WHOLE series!!!!!

I don't give 5 STARS lightly as i think they are over used, but I totally LOVED this whole series!!! You must read this. Each one of the siblings - Marcus, Meredith and Matthew each have a different life story.
Below is my review for the third book but I enjoyed ALL 3 different but equally as good as each other. Not many series are THAT good!
This third book was SUCH a surprise. I expected this to be HOT and man was it, but more typical of the character we met in the first book 'Çarrie's Answer'. Marcus's best friend - Daniel is a physical man but emotionally detaches himself from his trysts and we are fed small snippets of his childhood through the previous books but mainly in this one. What I didn't think I would like or even connect to is the love of Daniel and Matt. I do like a odd occasional threesome but where it centers around the two males concentrating their physical love to the female but in 'Daniel's Surrender' VJ Summers does a BRILLIANT job at making this truly a beautiful LOVE STORY.

After Marcus divorces his shrew of an ex wife Karen he is left with his personal sexual nature putted to the press. With the help of his family and his personal assistant Carrie he gets his life back on track, but he is changed. Carrie has been with Marcus through it all and has always been attracted to him. But when she decides to explore his wold of BDSM, he freaks.
The story is alright and the pace is good, I just wish there was more of back story between the characters and more details between their budding relationships. The sex scenes were wonderful, but there could have been more of them.

Hot Read.......
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 18, 2012Verified Purchase
I really liked this story alot.....Carrie was a mixture of innocence and aventure. She loves Marcus and is willing and wanting to delve into his lifestyle of BDSM to see where it will lead them. Marcus doesn't know it yet, but he loves Carrie too and wants to see if she can be with him for who he is, a DOM. The story moves along and takes us through a great journey that made for some really HOT HOT steamy scenes. I thought it was engaging and emotional and am glad to have come upon it via an Amazon recommendation.. Looking forward to Book 2, Meredith's story...

ALERT: Heroine wears pantyhose! Do they even sell those anymore? Writer must be ancient!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 19, 2014Verified Purchase
Don't waste your money. Also, book description should warn than hero is bi. Author and editor need to understand their target audience better. Unless you're over age 65 you don't wear pantyhose. Ick! It makes the reader think the writer must be completely out of touch.
