Making the Baby

Making the Baby

Harker and Alison are at it again. Book one left them at the club, with Harker enlisting Ethan’s aid in helping him to teach Alison about different kinds of pleasure. But after a confused Alison runs off to the restroom, Katie, the waitress, brings drinks and mentions the last time she saw Harker just as Alison returns, causing her to realize that Harker was at the club on their wedding night. And so the back-and-forth continues. What happened at that sex club? This topic keeps coming up between the two main characters. They each continue to blame the other, but somehow, Harker always gets back into her good graces, and the sex gets better and better. They argue about who orders what kind of food and their dissatisfaction with the choice. Their competitiveness leads to mind games and trying to manipulate and best each other.

She is growing on him. “You were made for me.” He is slowly falling or her and it is making him scared and happy at the same time. He admitted to using every trick in the book to keep her working late so that he could keep her with him. She learns that a perfume that she wears called “Vanilla Cream” brings back bad memories from his childhood because it reminds him of cookies baking. To learn more about his childhood and living in foster care, she devises a game with the winner getting whatever he/she wants from the loser. She hopes that WHEN she wins she will convince Harker to talk about his childhood. But the game starts to play havoc with their relationship.

This is a fun book to read. How Harker keeps convincing Alison to return to his bed is skilfully done. The sex scenes are so super steamy that they sizzle and explode. Harker’s words to entice Alison to engage in sex are arousing enough for the reader to feel the teasing tension. And this author is so good at thinking up brilliant and quick-witted games as she has also shown in her earlier books. The dialogue between her characters is so saucy, so engaging, so clever, each page giving us more crafty speech patterns to dwell upon. That’s my favourite thing about her books, the spicy and juicy banter!

Ellis O. Day has steered away from the darkness of the BDSM world and made it fun and exciting to peek inside the doors of the La Petite Mort Club and learn about the bizarre world of sex clubs. A good author always brings you back for more and so she has done with her characters, who although they frequent these sex clubs for fun, they are all looking for true and everlasting love. Kudos to you Ellis O. Day for another read that tantalizes the taste buds.
