In The Lock, we are in the third book in the Dark Path series. For those of you not familiar with the series, we told the story of the main couple is Max and Ericka. Max is the owner of the BDSM club The Gate along with Catherine. Erica has come a long way since book one. Her and Max are looking to get married. They even talking about going to Vegas to elope.

However, Max's brother, Daniel, gets into a scandal, so they make an unexpected trip to LA to visit him. While there, Max has a run-in with his old nemesis, Abraham, who is blackmailing his brother. Abraham is also marrying, Page, who is Chris' sister. Chris is Ericka's ex from the first book. Page is also Max's ex and lastly, she is crazy.

Then there's Catherine. Catherine is trying to figure out what she wants in her life. Does she want to stay with her overbearing Master? Or does she want to stay with Bryan. There are few twists that come up here that I won't spoil.

I know reading all of this it sounds chaotic, but it is really well written. The Lock kept me glued to my seat, turning pages. It has quite the climatic ending to the story that leaves you wanting more. As per the first two books in the series, the author leaves things with a cliffhanger. That is my biggest complaint about this series. I'm not a fan of cliffhangers and there has been one at the end of each book. If you like BDSM erotica, this is a great series with well developed characters and a wonderful story to go along with it.
