The Dining Club is more than the name implies. It is a place to discover how far you are willing to challenge your sensuality and discover/expand your sexual horizon. This is erotica at its best.

Our story follows Grace as she discovers David, the man she has fallen in love with, cannot commit to his love for her, unless she is able to discover and participate in the kind of lovemaking that makes him complete. The Dining Club provides a series of tests which will expose Grace to BDSM. If she is able to complete the 4 trials involved, David will be able to finally fully commit to her.

The trials, although not extreme, left me wondering how far could someone go to prove love and commitment. Through this serial novel, we come to know our characters in some depth. This serial novel evolves through 8 different insttallments. We ourselves are placed in the trials with Grace, making us wonder how we ourselves would survive each test.

This story is brilliantly written, with full character development and a great plot line. The ending is good but leaves me wondering if the author is considering a spinoff novel or novels. There are characters in this novel I would love to read more about! ( )

Caress by Marina Anderson, the sixth book in The Dining Club series, picks up where Touch left off in Grace's apartment with Andrew about to spill the beans about the next challenge.

Will his and Amber's subterfuge manage to drive a wedge between Grace and David or will it just push them closer together.

The fourth trial is about to begin and Andrew has told Grace that it's a weekend long challenge. The big question is, will David tell her ahead of time or just leave her to discover it on the day of the challenge.

What does Amber have planned for Grace? Will it be enough to force Grace to quit the challenge and leave the Dining Club forever? Will David continue to sabotage his and Grace's happiness out of fear for the future or will he step up and be the Yin to Grace's Yang. ( )
