A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: ELF
What She Needs by Cris Anson is the sizzling story of a newly published erotic romance writer who discovers how much fun research and carnal exploration can be. A flippant comment about her imagined role as a slave attracts the attention of a mouth-wateringly masterful Dominant who undertakes to educate the attractive older woman in the sensual satisfaction of a D/s relationship and the true joys of participating in a menage. Each of them has obstacles to overcome in order to truly savor the relationship but the lusty attraction they feel for each other helps level the playing field.
This is a zesty novella guaranteed to elevate your temperature and make you give a cheer for the benefits of tactile research. It's a stimulating reminder of the benefits of being open to new experiences and overcoming the insecurities generated by experiences, expectations or fear.

Book Blurb for What She Needs
Older widow Delia Barnes is sporting a black eye when she greets fellow authors before an erotic romance convention, which she explains away by joking “I didn’t say ‘Yes Master’ quick enough.” Sitting at the bar, burned-out ad executive and former Dom Kurt Reinhardt overhears the remark—and interrupts to suggest maybe she needs “a new Master”.
Urged by her friends to accept the younger man’s invitation to learn some D/s basics—hey, an author needs to do her research, right?—Delia joins him to get first-hand experience at being submissive, starting with removing her panties in a corner booth. Later, she learns more than she bargained for when she spends a weekend at Kurt’s home…with his eager business partner added to the mix.
But an innocent misstep brings Delia’s world crashing down around her. Can she trust Kurt with her heart…and her life?
Reader Advisory: Delia gets some up-close-and-personal training during a delectable m/f/m ménage.
