Club Shadowlands (Masters of the Shadowlands #1) by Cherise Sinclair

Club Shadowlands by Cherise Sinclair 
SUMMARY 

Her car disabled during a tropical storm, Jessica Randall discovers the isolated house where she's sheltering is a private bondage club. At first shocked, she soon becomes aroused watching the interactions between the Doms and their subs. But she's a professional woman--an accountant--and surely isn't a submissive...is she?

Master Z hasn't been so attracted to a woman in years. But the little sub who has wandered into his club intrigues him. She's intelligent. Reserved. Conservative. After he discovers her interest in BDSM, he can't resist tying her up and unleashing the passion she hides within.

MY REVIEW 

"You may call me Sir.”
Like the marines or something? “Uh, right. Exactly what kind of club is this?” 

I remember years ago, when I was curious about BDSM books, I have started reading this book. It is highly recommended by the experts and this series is like the epitome of BDSM romance.
Anyway, I think I read about 10 pages before I fell asleep. The next night, I had a similar experience. I read about 10 pages more before I fell asleep.

This book has such a tranquillity, such a peacefulness, that it was like reading a lullaby for adults. 
You may say “Are you crazy? This book describes ropes and crosses and spanking and orgasms and hard-core kinky sex.” 
But honestly Master Z was describing in such a clinical, detached way to thunderstruck Jessica the way the BDSM works and the rules; that I was feeling that I was watching a documentary from the Discovery Channel.

Besides the fact that there is no angst, basically there is also no story. It is an introductory book that describes the outline of the club and the main characters, especially mastermind and mindreader Master Z. 
This time I managed to finish the book and I learned that he is a psychologist. Does this explain the fact that he knows straight away if someone feels aroused or threatened? I don't know. I have never trusted much the psychologists and their judgments to be honest.

I believe I will continue this time and conclude the available books in this series.
