Synopsis:
She still craved him… The sight of a collar in her boyfriend’s drawer had stunned Sarah. Panicking, she had fled. But no other man has ever been his equal.



Two years ago, the woman he’d hoped to collar and marry disappeared. So Reece McRae is stunned to find his former girlfriend on her knees, behaving as the submissive he’d always wanted.

Is it too late? He should refuse her, but an undeniable sexual attraction consumes him.

Sarah had been under Reece’s spell from the moment she met him. When she found a steel collar in his drawer, she panicked. The idea of a lifetime of his relentless demands, sensual and otherwise, suffocated her.

In the years they’ve been apart, she hasn’t met his equal. Now, convinced one last night will vanquish his memory, she sets out to seduce him.

The Reece she returns to is even more determined to have his way. Is she now strong enough, brave enough, to surrender to his love?
Review:
This is the first Sierra Cartwright book I read and I must say I was quite impressed and became a fan of her with just reading one work of her.

Crave is the story of Sarah and Reece. How both loved, suffered and got together once again. How both made mistakes and where blinded by their fears. 
People always say: Don't judge one person without hearing their side of the story. Well, it suits this book completely.
You shouldn't condemn Sarah nor Reece but instead listen to both of them. I must admit that in the beginning I did judge Sarah for her actions and how she broke Reece's heart two years prior but once I kept reading the book and understanding Sarah's mind, I knew why she did what she did.

The main word (or problem, you could say) here is: miscommunication. Sarah needed to grow up a bit more so she could really be prepared for the BDSM world that Reece introduced her into. He was always gentle, calm and understanding towards her but she wasn't ready, she needed more time and after finding that specific object (no spoilers, go read the book) it was normal for her to panic. Yes, she shouldn't have run away, she should've talked to Reece but Reece also should've talked to her instead of assuming she was prepared for something she obviously wasn't. 

In the end... I think that both decisions weren't mistakes at all. Why? Well, it made both Sarah and Reece grow and learn. Made them both learn more about themselves and each other and that's why when they eventually restart their relationship it actually works out and evolves into something more.   

They both love each other and that much is quite obvious from page one but one broke the other's heart so there's some work to be done so they can reconnect once again. The love, the desire, the connection never left nor did the spark died between them. 

I enjoyed every single thing in this book because it wasn't just a stupid thing that was the catalyst of the story. Every thing happened for an understandable reason and in the end both characters understood that.
