Punished is a contemporary roamnce that wasn't particular dark, but it does contain a dose of kink. In a way, it is a spin on the "kinky billionaire vs. young ingenue" trope, but it was well-polished.
Emmaline "Emma" was hoping to access her trust fund to save her fledgling business when she found out it had been stolen by her father to pay down his gambling debts.. and he still wanted more money out of her. Desperate for cash flow, a friend suggested she part-time in Club Crave, an exclusive BDSM club. Logan Steel was betrayed by some of his closest associates and almost lost his business, but he crushed them and regained his business, and to celebrate, he'll visit Club Crave. The two met, and both are smitten, but neither really want to let down their guard just yet. But Emma has a different secret. She had never had an orgasm... Until Logan Steel...
I find the ending quite lame, way too much talk, though the strategem does take time to come into fruition. However, it wasn't tied into the romance and that made it less than ideal. Oh, and it wasn't that particular "dark". Still, consider this 3.5/5
