Volatile: An Enemies to Lovers Standalone Kindle Edition

Can an experienced Dominant find his happily-ever-after with a non-submissive, bullheaded, fiery—no, scratch that—flammable f*cking hellcat on two legs?

It makes no difference how enticing those two legs are—they’re not worth the stubborn ass they belong to.

Jonathan Blazek is a busy man. His days are packed tight with whiskey, women, and work, and he has no time for the pounding headaches that arise when Hurricane Ivy blows down his door.

Ivy Swanson comes with her own warning label: Will explode when challenged. As far as Jonathan is concerned, it might as well have been written in a foreign tongue. He can’t figure out her mercurial moods, nor does he care to. They’re only tolerating each other out of mutual concern for Ivy’s sister, and once he’s no longer the therapist on the case, he’ll never have to deal with that woman again.

She’s the opposite of what he wants. He’s the opposite of what she wants. They have no business even being in the same room together. They are destructive. All wrong.

But as any good Dom knows, it’s not about what you want.

It’s about what you need.

**Author’s Note** Volatile is a STANDALONE novel based on a character from the Julia series. It is not necessary to have read any of the others in the series first.

When not crafting stories in her small Wisconsin town, she hikes unbeaten trails, watches hockey games, and wishes she didn't detest cooking so much.

Dahlia is her middle name. Her last name is more suitable for a horror writer.

I liked it mostly because I read Jon's character's background in the Transformation The Complete Julia Series book.

I would have liked this book less if I had not read the Transformation... This book needed more of Jon's character's personality and some scenes pulled forward in this book from his past from the Transformation book.

Shredding her softly..

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2018

This story held many engaging moments but I’ll choose just one of several things that impressed me. The author’s ability to convey the female characters irrational preconceived notions was superb. How a person can be judgmental about something they know nothing about (in this case; a sexual lifestyle), but are adamant in their uneducated, one-size-fits-all belief...going through life unhappy and unfulfilled and never knowing why. I loved how Ivy was being tutored in lessons of submission without ever realizing it. At the same time she’s a challenge that Jon enjoys with relish. Anyway, the story of Jon Blazek., a therapist trying to counsel a young female client, and in doing so involuntarily becomes attracted to the clients shrewish older sister. And therein lay the answer to his young clients dilemma. Ivy Swanson is a hurricane...she believes anyone not having what she deems to be a normal sexual relationship, is otherwise perverted and wrong. Even though she’s unable to define “normal”, she nevertheless irrationally feels it’s abnormal or weak for a woman to want to be a submissive. And men who are dominant’s are really bullies. I liked the main characters but the descriptions of them were skimpy...(except for Ivy’s curly black hair and acorn color eyes). It would’ve been nice to reiterate their physical attributes periodically throughout the story. It was aggravating how Dom’s spoke to their women in normal situations.. (when they were not in a scene), like they were toddlers...as if they’re incapable of thinking small thoughts. I’m talking every day life moments. Speaking slowly and gently, as if they’re mentally challenged. I mean, I know they’re Doms...but, come on! It was ridiculous, degrading and offensive. But the main plot of the story is told exceptionally well...great sentence structure and strong, explicit analogies. Original and fresh dialogue. Provocative language and sex play.

Showed how relationships can grow even in conflict and stress.
Will be reading others from this author.

It was an okay romance.

Jonathan is a Dominant and a sex therapist. The way this story started, I expected a strong no-nonsense, alpha Male, dominant throughout. That's not how it went down. And frankly, I didn't like Ivy or how she treated her sister, Lily, even after her explanation of her beliefs, but what can you expect from a what? 22 year old? She was just too narrow minded and had no emotional filter to like at all. Her sister was the more mature of the two of them.

I am very disappointed Jon and Ivy ended up together because neither of them can change their characters and needs. She just let's him be controlling in the bedroom to get some sex, and he'll never be able to fully master her. It must be very frustrating on his end. It's just not believable. Sorry. And no, no, NO-, I do not want to go back to read his story with Julia! Two stars for the suspense only.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. Lily is a submissive, but her sister cannot seem to accept it. What happens when her sister meets her sex therapist? Very interesting read, and kept me turning the page.

My first read by this author. Steamy, non conformist romance.... I adore when insight inspires understanding, and I can learn a little too!

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2017

My Kindle seems to have an issue with Instafreebies. A dogged determination and a measure of luck helped, too.

The first paragraphs were, to say the least, a tad shocking. Not because of the explicit content but rather for its placement. It was easy to assume that this was a work of smut. It's happened before and I don't subject myself to garbage. The writer in me was already laughing and planning a snarky posting to go with the one star I planned on giving. ::: The shrill buzzing of the alarm clock sliced through the morning silence like a clarion announcing an impending doom. Blindly and on autopilot a hand reached over to swat away at the annoying cacophony and with more luck than accuracy the room became blissfully silent, again. But not for long. Minutes later outside the closed bedroom door and further down the hall a raised voice screamed, "Johnny Fuller, (fictitious name) If you don't get out of that bed right now you'll be late for school :::

... So I kept reading ...

But the stubborn masochist in me wanted to at least finish the first chapter so I could honestly say I gave it a try. So, I did. It got interesting and earned another star. As I progressed I began to see things in a clearer light and somewhere around 60% I realized how flawless this ARC was. No typos, or any other unedited annoyances. Two more stars.

The clincher was, the story got me to thinking. Introspection of last experiences and people I knew and still know. Five stars for a very well crafted and poignant read. Wish I were that good.

Thank you Bree Dahila for this ARC opportunity. Sorry for being so late in coming.
