Cleo knew the overseers of Las Palmas, L.A.’s most exclusive BDSM club, would use their new checklist game to pair her with one of the more serious Doms. She never dreamed she’d end up with the Dom who has the power to destroy her soul—her first Master, and ex-husband, Hadrian.
Hadrian hasn’t been to the club in years. After the fiery dissolution of his marriage, he threw himself into work, doing his best to forget his beloved submissive, who also happens to be his ex-wife.
When Cleo and Hadrian are forced together once again, they’ll have to decide if they’ll play the game and explore the letter D…or if it would be easier to walk away from BDSM altogether.
D is for... (BDSM Checklist #4) Reviews
-
The letter D is different yet again,making a divorced couple play the game....together.
And again,Lila manages to set the right tone,showing the feelings of both for what they are,namely painful.
Cleo and Hadrian have been divorced for 4 years now,and whilst she continued coming to the club,Hadrian stayed away.
The game has changed that,and if he wants to remain a member,he’ll have to play.
But when he enters the room where his sub for the game is waiting,he’s in for a very unpleasant surprise.
Sitting there,in the perfect position,is his ex-wife,Saffron,or Cleo,as he nicknamed her.
Cursing the overseers to hell and back isn’t helping,and he decides to give into his still lingering desire for her.
Cleo has been content playing the way she has the past 4 years,but is she happy? Not really....
She misses a real Master,one that can bring out her needs like.....well,to be honest,her ex-husband,Hadrian.
But finding out who she’s partnered with for the letter D? OUCH!
Their divorce was painful enough,thank you very much!
Can these two find they still have enough in common to play without hurting eachother?
And is it possible they can even admit what they feel?
This letter was another delicious story,one with a very satisfying end.
And i look forward to the letter E..... -
Second chance stories are tricky for me. I often get upset with the time wasted by the couple rather than celebrate that they got back together. It all balances on why they split, and what they have been doing since the split
This one had me worried because of the added complication of unknown and D/s relationship. I shouldn't have had any trepidation, as this was handled beautifully. The exploration of the now with a glimpses of the then, and a little discuss of the then, made for an emotional, yet, beautiful story
The aspects of business, marriage, couple-dom and the BDSM relationship were separated and then put back together as Hadrian and Cleo worked through everything. Have some tissues close, there was way more of an emotional punch than I expected. There was also some extremely hot and sexy times, like, a lot -
Dang, it only took a couple of hours to finish this book. The Overseers really did it this time by putting a divorced couple together for their game. I really like this series and the ending of this one was great. The only problem I see with this series is that the stories are wrapped up in a couple of pages (but then, I am a story junkie and not so much a sex scene junkie and I want a little more story than a quickie). I hope we get to see more of the Overseers and the people they put together for their Checklist game. I am impatiently waiting for the rest of the alphabet.

Delicious
DuBois brought us another delightfully delicious story.
Master Hadrian and his assigned sub Cleo have the letter D.
I love that these two have a past and that we get to see exactly what that past is.
Hadrian hasn't been the Master he should be and Cleo has been a very lazy sub looking not to serve but to receive her pleasure.
Boy, I really felt for her when came time for punishment, my own ass was sore with sympathy pains!!
I can't wait to see what E brings us!! -
3.5 stars
I feel like the actual reason for divorce that we were leading up to didn’t match up to the explosion they kept referring to.
Overall very nicely done with dealing with a divorced sub/Dom dynamic -
I love these overseers. They are playing Puppet/Master with these people. D is for Divorced couple.
Again, I'm loving exploring all these nuances of the BDSM world. Who knew there where this many kinks?
Cleo and Hadrian's second chance explored the past, present and future. -
D is for .....Dam hot
I have been waiting for D for a while. It did not disappoint. The letter D does not have many items to it but Lila made it hot. Cleo is paired with her ex husband for the new game at Las Palmas. If they both want to retain their membership they must play the game. Her ex hasn't been to the clubs since their divorce. She didn't even know he was still a member there. She got the shock of her life when he walked into the room she was kneeling in and spoke.
Hadrian had not been to Las Palmas in years. He is summoned there by the game or lose his membership. So he goes and gets a big surprise when he opens the door to his assigned playroom and finds his ex wife kneeling on the floor before him. He realizes that he still loves her and tries to hide that from both her and himself.
As they play the game, Cleo must apologize to all the Doms she has "used" and not properly submitted to. There were 6 in the room at the time. She was in for a wide awakening. After 48 hours she must make a choice, continue to come to the club and be Hadrian's sub or to walk away. But Hadrian may have a say in that!
I CAN'T WAIT for the next book!!! -
It feels like I've waited forever for this book to come out. It was worth the wait. She didn't disappoint. The story was HOT. I actually think it was better than C is for... I think the main characters were very relatable in regards to their issue.
I can't wait to see what she comes up with for the letter E. I do wish she could put out 2 books in the checklists series every year. I hate waiting. -
Divorce doesn't mean forgotten. Sometimes a second chance with lots of sex is all that's needed to move on from the past.
This series not only captures the essence of BDSM, but also the essence of what it is to be true to yourself and understand your own personal kinks. If you haven't read the rest of this wonderful series you really, really need too. -
D is for delicious!
Hadrian and Cleo/Saffrons story is loaded with emotion that you felt what they were feeling throughout the entire story.
I love that with this series the overseers place the players of the game with a purpose, very thought through and the reader can feel that along with characters. -
Awesome!! Awesome!! Awesome!! I have loved every one of these stories and this one was no exception! Can't wait for the next one. I just wish they were longer stories. I just love Lila's writing and story telling.

Wow!! Another great read from Ms. Dubois in her BDSM Checklist series!
See how divorcees Hadrian and Saffron/Cleo reconnect and find their HEA.
Another wonderful HEA!!! Cannot wait for E!! -
Excellent
BDSM Romance at its very best. I'm excited about the entire series and hope she takes it through to Z. -
Lila DuBois is an amazing writer of BDSM erotica. I'm addicted and don't plan on seeking "help". LOL
-
Another great book by Ms Dubois. 5 freakin-amazing stars 👏👏

D is for Disappointed. This tale was not as good as others in the series. The protagonists were not very credible and the tale whilst starting off fairly well ended in a real rush and it felt like the author got a bit bored, some of the checklist items were brushed over in less than a paragraph and the way the relationship is set up felt unlikely to me. There are some good bits though, some hot sex and inventive scenes but not up to the usual standards. This is another short read with lots of advertising/excerpts at the end.

I really enjoyed the first three letters of the game and the blurb of this story was really promising. Sadly it turned out to be much different than what I expected. This is clearly a story when a man and his ex-wife find a way back together thanks to an intense BDSM weekend, but there were so many unspoken issues to be addressed, so many conflicting feelings to face, that the story was just too short and felt incomplete. Let's see what E will bring....

D is for...
Well, this one, I really think must have had more words. The story between Cleo and Hadrien is very heavy because of their past. And the flashbacks was not helping very much to understand this past. For example, I don't understand why put the moment when they signed their adhesion to the club, because nothing really important happened. And I would've liked more slow motion about the reunification. -
!!!!!
This installment of the checklist was perfect. It hits another profound realization of BDSM which is the act of submission. Even though it was extremely risky for these two to be paired for the game, the act of submission brought them to a place they never thought they would reach again. The act of submission brought them back to love. Powerful. -
Second chances never looked so good or spicy this was a story of a wonderful couple being given a second chance with a little help from friends to realize what has always been hidden deep in their hearts even years after they broke
-
Hot!! I wish the whole alphabet had been done!!
-
Desperate For More
I'm ready for the next letter! So loving these books!!!! Letter E is next!!! ❤❤❤Thank you so much L. DuBois!! -
Love it
Felt shorter than the others, think it is didn't pay attention to page numbers this is kinda brutal honesty mixed with other things but glad it worked in the end. -
This entire series is fabulous! Each letter in the story gets better and has yet to disappoint.
-
I have been waiting for this book! Was counting down the days, literally. Really enjoyed it. So when's the letter "E" out? Hey? Will keep an eye and ear out for it.
-
WOW, the letter D, is NOT just for BDSM play, but real life, Divorce!
What an evil and maniacal way to bring two broken hearts together, than to force them to play the alphabet game together.
Hadrian is a Dom who has stepped way from the BDSM world after a messy divorce.
Cloe is Hadrian's ex wife and partner in exploring the letter D in the BDSM Alphabet Game.
This had to be one of the most explosive books in the series to date. tThe attraction to each other that never went away, even after all these years and their denial to submit to that attraction is intense.
I loved the push and pull that finally lead to them seeing each other for who they really are and finally admitting the old feeling and desires they still have for one another.
This is my favorite book in the series to date.
