What They Deserve by EM Denning (Desires: New Beginnings book 3)


After meeting Jade in Sterling's book, I wanted to know more about them and I got my wish in What They Deserve

From the blurb:

Jade has spent years searching for a place that feels right. After years spent circling the block with just about every Dom at Desires, they're finally wondering if they've reached a dead end.

Angelo moved to get a fresh start, post breakup. But the only thing he's done is sling drinks at the local kink club, Desires, and watching Jade burn through partners like fire. Angelo has never stepped foot into a playroom there with a submissive for himself, but that hasn't stopped him from thinking about it. And those thoughts all center on Jade.

His crush on the non-binary beauty turns into serious concern when Jade has a scene end with a safe word, and their mutual friend Steve is wary about letting Jade continue down their self-destructive path. In response to their friends' worry, Jade ghosts everyone, which only sparks more of the untapped dominance that has been simmering just beneath Angelo's skin. When Jade stops coming around altogether, Angelo takes it upon himself to do something about it. After all, the whole point of moving was to move on, and it's high time that Angelo did just that.

Can a rusty Dom like him be the soft landing that a jaded submissive like Jade is looking for?


Heather's Review:

You'll have gotten an impression of Jade if you've read the other books in the series, but once you start reading What They Deserve you'll fall in love if you haven't already.  If you haven't read any of the other Desires books and are just looking for books with enby representation, be prepared to give your heart away... 

Angelo is so methodical and determined to do right by the person he's been crushing on and it shows in the details and the methods he uses to gain Jade's trust.  This book is a beautiful example of how communication strengthens a relationship - whether it's BDSM or romantic and it was wonderful to read!  I also appreciate the demi-sexual representation in a Dom and what that means to the story.

I think What They Deserve is my favourite book in the series so far!
