JUST A WOMAN
Part Two

WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT...
JUST A WOMAN

"I have to say I was a bit shocked by this one, not just of Nate's need to control everything but also of Marina's complete change from a completely independent woman to allowing her life to be ruled. I'm looking forward to reading the next one and finding out how their relationship develops."

"The one thing that I absolutely love about Serena's books it's that you can relate to the women. Also you absolutely find the men just irresistible! The relationship between Marina and Nate in my opinion is one to be completely envious of! I love how Nate breaks Marina down and then build her back up. Love how he exposes her, but shields and protects her at the same time. It's not just a D/S relationship. Not about the punishments and the the great sex. It's about the the way Marina discovers the woman she really is inside. The woman that she denied herself to be. The woman that only Nate can bring out of her. I can't wait to read more. I absolutely love the Naughty Nookie series."
Giselle on Goodreads


"Unbeknown to Marina, Nate was a Dom who suppressed his desires to be with her, but no more, she is going to submit to him or lose him. Will she be able to do this as they go back to the ranch were she was born?

I like Serena Akeroyd's writing style and the theme for these novels - becoming your true self through sexual liberation. i'm looking forward to the next part of Marina's story."

I want to shake my head at the thought, question my sanity at actually returning to this madhouse, but before I can, I hear the outer door of my rooms open.
It can only be Nate.
The door swings open and the light from the lounge pierces the darkness in my bedroom.  I blink, gawking at his shadowy form.
“I didn’t realize you had a crush on Brad Pitt.”
“I was fifteen at the time.”  Whatever I thought he’d say, it hadn’t been that!
He hums under his breath and switches on the ceiling light.  I blink back the glare and stare up at him from between my duvet and cozy pillow.  He looks around, takes in the artwork on the wall and the rest of the adolescent paraphernalia on the shelves, anything from yo-yos to trolls.  But his attention is mostly on the drawings.  He limps over to the wall covered in paper tacked to the surface, as he studies it, he murmurs, voice soft, “I called you back.”
“I heard.”
My defiance has his head turning to the side to stare at me.  And it’s then I realize why I looked away earlier and why I’m looking away now.  When a tiger stares at you, you look away.  You don’t stare back, do you?  Not unless you fancy being tiger kibble! 
My eyes trace the flowers on the duvet and I swallow as he continues, “Different rules now, Marina.  You know that.  I told you in the plane.”
“No, you didn’t actually.  You didn’t tell me word for word that if you called, I was to come running!”
“No, I didn’t.  You aren’t wrong.  But tonight is the last night for any defiance without punishment.”

Guilt is no stranger to Marina Denison, but that doesn’t mean it sits well on her shoulders.

Wherever she goes, whatever she does, death shadows her, tails her and those who surround her.  She has to break the pattern, break free from the vicious cycle her life has become and the answers lie in the Blue Ridge Ranch back in Montana.  Her home.

There, she must face her past, accept her present and all so that she can finally enjoy her future.  

But is she strong enough to confront the years that formed her into the woman she is today?
