Hot body, loads of charm and a willingness to get her off in any way she pleases. That\u2019s his reputation at The Zone. But Marius has a dark side. When a Mistress pushes him for something deeper, he\u2019ll push back, mess with her head. When he takes it too far one night, The Zone management has had enough. He\u2019s kicked out of the club and there\u2019s only one way back in\u2014Lady Regina.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;\">Regina\u2019s been studying Marius for a while. She enjoys her submissives in all flavors, and she likes them challenging, though not usually the \u201cknight-in-distress\u201d type, so screwed up she\u2019d need a backhoe to dig him out of his dysfunctions. But on that pivotal night, she sees something in Marius. He doesn\u2019t know what it means to be truly helpless to a Mistress, but he needs it, more than any sub she\u2019s ever encountered. And that\u2019s a challenge this Mistress can\u2019t resist.<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/kristis-review.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10983\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/kristis-review.jpg?resize=300%2C96\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"96\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/kristis-review.jpg?resize=300%2C96 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/kristis-review.jpg?w=428 428w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader\u2019s Copy of this book<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This is my first Joey Hill book and it&#8217;s the 10th book in the Nature of Desire series. I was a little nervous that I would be lost having never read any of this series before, but that wasn&#8217;t the case.<br \/>\nIt was a little slow for me in the beginning, however once all the players were introduced I was intrigued.<br \/>\nLady Regina is a Domme at The Zone, she is known to be strong and able to give any sub she tops what they need. She is not one to be screwed with though because she is more than able to take care of herself both physically and mentally.<br \/>\nMarius is a sub that into one nights with a Mistress. He&#8217;s hot, fun loving, and able to get a Mistress off anyway she wishes.<br \/>\nMarius has a dark side that comes out to mess with a Domme&#8217;s mind if he is pushed farther than his fun loving nature allows.<br \/>\nOne night he goes too far, even for him, and is kicked out of the club and isn&#8217;t allowed back unless Lady Regina helps him.<br \/>\nSo, Marius is like the title says truly helpless. He, I feel, can&#8217;t help becoming that asshole sub that pushes things too far, it&#8217;s his way of dealing with the feeling that are fighting inside him.<br \/>\nI love that even before they are put together that there is something inside of Marius that calls to Lady Regina. That coupled with the fact that there is something inside the screwed up sub that listens to her is the reason that the powers that be put her in charge of giving him the chance of returning to The Zone.<br \/>\nThe scenes that are written of them outside of play scenes are just as beautifully written and explains Marius&#8217;s story in such a way that you can&#8217;t help but start to fall for him just like Lady Regina does.<br \/>\nPutting these two characters together was a perfect fit. Lady Regina is a lady I would love to be when I decide to grow up and it&#8217;s not just because she ended up with one hot as hell sub.<br \/>\nAfter learning what he truly wants and how to deal with the things inside him, Marius becomes a sub that any Domme would be proud to have.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6166\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png?resize=113%2C51\" alt=\"\" width=\"113\" height=\"51\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/34272086-truly-helpless?ac=1&amp;from_search=true\">Goodreads<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6156\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png?resize=158%2C45\" alt=\"\" width=\"158\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"color: #743399; line-height: 1.5;\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2pqptHc\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-596\" style=\"clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; height: auto; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 12px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wlkbookpromotions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/amazon.jpg?resize=192%2C108\" alt=\"\" width=\"192\" height=\"108\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Excerpt<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;\"><em style=\"border: none; line-height: 1.5;\">Background: Regina is tending Marius after he competes in an illegal fight\u2026<\/em><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;\">She stepped back. \u201cYou\u2019ll do.

Embracing her Mistress side meant understanding there was an energy flow between Dom and sub once a connection was made, even if the connection was the rope in a tug of war. She rode that energy how it was meant to be ridden, not forcing her own expectations on it. It worked better that way. She\u2019d accomplished what mattered most to her here, which was confirming he\u2019d finally released that surfeit of potent energy from his session at the club earlier in the night. He was leveling out. While he could likely use a lot more aftercare, they were quite a distance from him earning that kind of treatment from her.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;\">\u201cYou don\u2019t want to talk about what happened in Tyler\u2019s office?\u201d he said abruptly. \u201cOr why you followed me here?\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;\">\u201cNo.\u201d She continued to move toward the opening that would lead back to the ring area and then the parking lot. She didn\u2019t need or want to stay any longer. She didn\u2019t anticipate that he would do or say anything to hold her there longer, so it was a pleasant surprise when he did.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;\">\u201cYou didn\u2019t say what you thought of the fight.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;\">She pivoted and met his gaze. \u201cNo, I didn\u2019t.

He had thick, dark lashes. His gray eyes were like the mirror surface of a lake. \u201cYeah,\u201d he said at last.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;\">\u201cOkay.\u201d She returned to him. There was a pen sitting next to the tray of gauze. Picking it up, she extended her hand, looking pointedly at one of his. When he offered it, she clasped his wrist and wrote an address on the inside of his forearm, along with Friday, 6:30pm.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;\">His fingers flexed above her grip and she was aware of his breath stirring tendrils of hair against her cheek. Her hip pressed against his knee. She imagined sliding between his spread thighs, tasting the metallic flavor lingering on his lips, feeling the flex of his shoulder muscles under her splayed fingers and firm palms. His hands would curve over her hips, his own fingers digging in, showing he wanted and needed her.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;\">Careful, girl, she thought.

His lips set in a thin line. \u201cThat a command, Mistress?\u201d he asked tonelessly.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;\">\u201cTake it however you want.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;\">He curled his fingers around the edge of the table, body leaning forward, eyes suddenly cold and hard. \u201cIt wouldn\u2019t matter, anyway, since you don\u2019t really like me.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;\">\u201cNo. I don\u2019t,\u201d she responded frankly. \u201cBut I care about you.
