These two characters rocked the bed, the walls, the car and the window. Both characters have issues to handle and both characters need more than just the sex however they use it as a coping mechanism and a way to find connection.

Sexually they were matched made in heaven, emotionally not so much. Nikki wasn't afraid to show Damien her need and desire for him, she took delight in their encounters and even encouraged him to go out of the ordinary. Damien is a sex god and knows how to make a woman moan. What I liked about the story, the sex, the passion, the games, the pampering. I thought she would be able to stand up for herself and put her mother in her place. I believe in strong women and though Nikki was professionally strong, as a person she was somewhat weak. Her inability to confront her demons (mother) brought me border line mad. Nikki was more preoccupied on saving Damien, than saving herself. I like the way Nikki's strong personality handled certain situations in her professional life, however her infatuation with Damien didn't seat well with me. He made an impression on Nikki and stayed in her mind ever since. While for Damien she was just another young participant, for Nikki meeting Damien was a dream, even when she only saw him for a few minutes.

Nikki first met Damien during a beauty pageant that Damien was sponsoring however he didn't give her a second thought and moved on. I like her personality but I disagree how she handled her relationship with Damien. Nikki is funny, smart and believes in individualism. I like Damien but I can't help to compare his character to Christian of Fifty Shades of Grey. What I don't like however, is his lack of communication and explanations for his reasoning and actions. I like that in a way, because it shows his determination and dedication to the things he believed in. Everything and everyone around Damien always did what he wanted and when he wanted. As an adult he found release in his control.

As a child his father pretty much controlled his life and he was forced to follow other's commands. Damien is possessive, sexual, and overpowering.

However, I find it a bit refreshing that the female main character wasn't innocent at all she was witty and had playful personality that I enjoyed very much. Release Me follows somewhat the same path as Fifty Shades of Grey, a hot, young and intellectual man who has control issues based on childhood scars. As far as the plot, it was interesting but not different from others in the genre. Like many other contemporary Erotica Release Me presents characters and situation that are pretty common in most the erotica coming out lately. I know that I was going in with an open mind and the idea that I would find an original and different story. When I finally got to read this book I was very excited.
