Katie Snow is not thrilled to be accompanying her boss, Jack Benedict, to a business conference in Rio de Janeiro.  She’s not happy with crowds and isn’t sure of how she’ll keep her personal feelings hidden from the charismatic Jack.  Arriving in the Rio airport, Katie is dismayed when their luggage gets lost. Jack comes to the rescue, taking her clothes shopping, making some highly suggestive comments. Could Jack feel the same way as she does?  Will whatever happens in Rio stay there?   

Be prepared for a different kind of BDSM story in Delphine Dryden’s When in Rio.  Katie’s had a crush on Jack for the past two years but has never acted upon it.  She’s a submissive at heart with a very active fantasy life.  Katie’s got no idea Jack is a Dom until he revels his dominant nature.  He’s a superb, unselfish lover, demonstrating in both word and deeds his mastery over her.   

Jack shows he’s more than a pretty face when he decides to take Katie on not just a D/s journey, but a field trip of sorts in a land he knows so well.  Against the backdrop of the lovely Brazilian countryside, Jack shows he’s more than capable of bringing all of Katie’s fantasies to life. I especially enjoyed when he uncovered Katie’s secret stash of toys and uses them in panty melting ways!   

While engaging in their week-long D/s affair, he proudly introduces her to several people he knows in Brazil which reveals another layer to this complex man.  When an old flame comes into the picture, Katie wonders if Jack truly wants her in his life.  I loved the way Jack convinces Katie she’s the woman for him.  I found When in Rio a multi-leveled treat, titillating my senses as well as my spirit of adventure.  Give Ms. Dryden a chance, because this new-to-me author is one to watch for engaging BDSM play.
