Double Down & Dirty by Samantha Cole

Double Down & Dirty: A Doms of The Covenant Short Story written by Samantha Cole is phenomenal!  Twin millionaires, Grayson and Remington Mann are owners of Black Diamond Records.  They have a lot in common – they share everything: the same birthday, the same house, the same business, and the same women. They are also very popular and well versed in the BDSM lifestyle.

Abigail Turner is their personal assistant.  She fantasizes about them, they fantasize about her but employees are off limits, especially one as talented as Abigail!  That is until the twins make an outstanding and shocking discovery that has them coming to blows and Abigail quaking in her shoes.

Now the fun really starts and Cole works her magic.  The seduction is slow and sweet sending tingles down the reader’s spine … romantic and intriguing.  Cole’s books are much more than romance, it is about respect, friendships, family and being ethical and moral.

Her characters are strong and yes, sexy in their own way.  Her female characters are not drop dead gorgeous models but are rather modeled around real people – they have the same struggles and doubts shared by many of her readers – image, emotional misconceptions of ourselves.  The men are strong and she demonstrates that chivalry is NOT dead.  They are strong but respect women.

Cole’s books show a depth to her characters and story lines that are growing with each book she writes.  Cole’s growth as a story teller and writer has been amazing to watch unfold moving from the simple to more complex story lines adding in more characters and growing the Trident/Covenant world.

Cole’s dialog is realistic as is her story lines from the BDSM piece to the mystery and romance pieces.  She writes with enthusiasm yet does so tastefully.   As an avid reader, I have enjoyed reading Cole’s series.  My first and last thought was, “WOW! Uh, Samantha Cole – when’s the next one coming out?”

WordsAPlenty awards this book with a strong 5-star rating for the continued growth of the series and author as well as being both action packed and extremely well written.
