Danny is a model and about to go for an interview. All she knows is that the job involves tea and a kink convention. She thinks this will be an easy job: possibly wearing latex and getting spanked in front of an audience, she’s pretty sure she can handle that.
That is until she meets Lucy, her interviewer, dressed in riding boots and a corset. At the end of the interview Danny realises this job isn’t going to be as easy as she first imagined.
The book mainly takes place over the two days of Danny’s new job with Lucy. The whole experience is nothing like she expected and she very quickly finds herself enjoying her introduction into the world of BDSM and it leaves her wanting more: more of the riding crop and more of Lucy.
Camellia is extremely well written. The characters of Danny and Lucy were very real and at times I felt like I was them, I could feel what they felt, hear what they heard and see what they saw. I have to admit I don’t know much about the BDSM scene but the way Cari & Caitlin put across the scenes in the story I feel I know a lot more now that I did before I started reading the book.
This is the first in a series of Camellia books and this one definitely left me wanting to read more. Whether you are, or aren’t, interested in BDSM, I would recommend reading Camellia. It is much more than whips & chains, it is a story of two very different women who come together through their work and how a business relationship can very quickly turn into a personal one.
I didn’t want to, in fact I couldn’t, put this book down and I read it over two nights, I was sad to find I was at the end so quickly but will definitely be looking up the next in the series. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
