Desire (The Dining Club #1) by Marina Anderson

For fans of New York Times bestselling authors E. L. James, Sylvia Day, and J. Kenner comes the first part of international bestselling author Marina Anderson's erotic series The Dining Club.

Part One: Desire

Young, ambitious theatre director Grace has no time for distractions, but she just cannot resist enigmatic city financier, David. Alluring, charismatic and an incredible lover - David never lets Grace get too close. So when he invites her to a weekend at his private club, Grace is thrilled.

Arriving at the secluded location, and excited by her nerves, David reveals the truth behind the Dining Club: a place where guests are taught to open their minds, and their bodies to erotic challenges. If she passes the tests, she is promised ecstasy beyond her wildest fantasies. If she fails, she's forbidden to ever set foot in the exclusive club again. But even as David's seductive commands make Grace feel more daring than ever before, she begins to fear for their future. What if she fails one of the Club's tantalizing trials? Will David still want her or will she lose him forever?

I was asked to review this for Netgalley.

The characters are lovely when you meet them at the beginning. The 1st line grabs you to where the characters are in the throes of the moment. I am liking the way the story is unfolding with the main characters. The scenes are interesting and sometimes I feel like I am part of the story. Makes me feel like I want to be there to experience the feelings and things Grace is feeling too. I am not too keen on Amber and the way David is stringing both the girls on at the moment. I hope this series carries on and we get to know the characters more.
