Dirty Talk, Sweet Release by Opal Carew

Sonny has a debilitating fear of men. Tal is a scary looking tattooed bad-ass. Can Tal get Sonny past her fear and help her become whole? After learning a terrifying secret about Tal, Sonny is been thrown into emotional turmoil and draws away from him. Tal thinks she’s backing away because of the step forward he helped her take in her sexuality.

Later, Sonny finally learns about Tal’s past demons and that draws the two of them closer together. She asks him a very special…intimate… favor that helps her take another tentative step forward in her healing journey. But as the oppressive bonds of pain begin to loosen, and she starts to think she might become whole again, she runs into someone from her past, and that encounter strips her of all the progress she’s gained. Can Tal save her from the devastating pain of losing herself again? Or will his actions only make things worse?
