"4 Cups!...I truly enjoyed this fantastic book. The emotional tension is exceptional, and the portrayal of an alternate sexual lifestyle handled in a very delightful fashion. I related easily to the characters and their emotional dilemma, and found them to be quite charming and realistic. A great read for anyone who likes books with real people facing very real relationship problems. I highly recommend this book."--Regina, Coffee Time Romance
"3/4 Stars!...Ms. Dane has done it again...A great story of passion, love, and overcoming the expectations of others. Eliza and Joseph are perfect for each other...The sex between the two of them was intense...You can believe that the relationship between them was real. I would recommend this book to all Ms. Dane fans and to anyone look[ing] for a good read where they can learn about a new experience."--Tasha Fisher, Just Erotic Romance Reviews
"5 Angels!...Recommended Read!...Expertly written and provides a wonderfully insightful look into the BDSM community...All of the love scenes, including the ones that contain light bondage, have been sensitively done...This is a fantastic book, and I would recommend Adrianna Dane's work without question."--Heidi, Fallen Angel Reviews
"...The amount of trust between Eliza and Joseph is palpable. While it is present, the BDSM traits are light...While [the two characters] are apart, grief on both sides can be felt, relaying just how deep Eliza and Joseph's feelings are. Watching Eliza go from a steamy love scene to her courtroom office, a definite switch in personality could be seen. Therein stemmed her inner turmoil and I wanted to clap when she finally accepted herself."--Cerise, JoyfullyReviewed.com
"4 OUT OF 5 RATING!...The main theme in this book--the dichotomy between public and private lives--is a compelling one. Ms. Dane does an excellent job pointing up the tension and self-doubt that living such a double life creates. The characters are interesting, and the situation is engaging. It is lovely to see a full characterization of the lifestyle in a 'respectable' professional field. ...the scenes are hot...This book is a very good read, touching on a theme that will hit home with many readers."--Elise, BDSM Erotica
"4 Hearts!...A wonderfully graphic and beautifully complex story of a man and woman who love each other, but have difficulty living with each other. Ms. Dane skillfully wove several layers into Sequestered Passion. Eliza and Joseph are fully defined characters who walked out of the story. Sex was incredibly hot and arousing between them and Ms. Dane pulled me in along with them...Ms. Dane has long been one of my favorite authors and I plan to continue reading her work as often as possible."--Marcy Arbitman, The Romance Studio
Read a short excerpt...
...The elevator doors parted and Eliza stepped onto the plush dark maroon carpeted hallway of the tenth floor. The sconce lighting provided the illusion of an old-world gas-lit ambiance and any sound was muffled by the thick walls and carpeted padding beneath her feet.
Of course, there were other reasons for the lack of sound on this particular floor.
The Corrigan was discreet for very good reason. Much of the sense of quiet solitude was rooted in the unique aspects of the tenth floor. Like the floors that were made available for smoking or non-smoking patrons, handicapped and non-handicapped accessibility, the tenth floor catered to guests with unique requirements. And there were special employees who attended to the needs of the guests on this particular floor. And the rooms here were soundproofed.
Joseph had told her he personally was acquainted with the owners of this hotel. In fact, he’d assisted them in reviewing the contracts and in the closing for it some time ago. He apparently always received special consideration when requesting a reservation. He’d also been asked to assist in the plans for modifications of this particular floor.
It was a beautiful old building with the style and elegance of the early twentieth century, yet modernized efficiently and subtly.
She reached the door of their room and slipped the keycard into the metal slot. Slowly, she turned the glimmering brass handle and stepped inside.
It was dark, the drapes at the window drawn closed, and she reached out to turn on a light.
“Don’t touch the light switch,” a disembodied deep voice instructed her from the depths of the room. “Close the door and come inside.”
She pushed the door shut behind her and stepped farther into the room. Inhaling, she smelled the familiar scent of Joseph’s aftershave—woodsy, earthy. It eased its way inside her, burrowing deep...
