After ending her passionless marriage, Cali Reynolds is eager to live out her forbidden fantasies. Her first step is attending new members' night at The Den, the most exclusive sex club in town. Perhaps here she can find a man who understands her desire to be dominated…

At first, Jake McCallister thinks Cali has come to his club for the wrong reasons. But when he discovers she is seeking fulfillment after years of denial, he's intrigued—and takes it upon himself to initiate her into the pleasures she's been missing.

Her first encounter with Jake is everything Cali has always craved, and more; she's not prepared for the feelings he inspires in her. And Jake is just as surprised by his overwhelming attraction to Cali. As their play intensifies, so does their bond. Now, Jake doesn't want anyone but Cali—but is he ready to officially claim her? And will she submit to being his forever?

Dishabille--The state of being only partly or scantily clothed. It's the perfect name for Miranda Marchand's nightclub.

For Alex, it was the means of getting exactly what he desired, plus so much more.

For Dahlia, it was the beginning of a life she thought completely out of her grasp.

Dishabille is a love story for those who aren't looking for Prince Charming. Or Sleeping Beauty. It's a story for those who want it a little bit rougher.

Before I start let me just say that I had the honor of getting to review all three books in this series so far. I absolutely loved these books and love the characters that are in each of the books. Bianca Sommerland is a great writer and has an amazing insight to the world of BDSM. Although some aspects of the lifestyle can be extreme it is not for everyone. Going into this series I figured that it would be considered medium BDSM nothing too extreme. If you can't handle more than the light stuff I say stay away from this series...it will push your limits. Bianca does not concentrate on bits and pieces of the lifestyle but takes you through a variety of it. Although I have read and enjoyed some BDSM...she had my eyes bugging from time to time. With that being said...please read on. :)
