A year after being dumped by her fiancée on her wedding day, brokenhearted Rachelle James has started to move forward with her life. She consumes herself in work and has a mutual rebound relationship to ease her loneliness. When her younger sister Gina and her friend, Aubrey don’t include her whenever they go out, she begins to wonder why and demands to know what’s going on. When they bring her to Club Lux, Rachelle’s faced with another dose of reality: a sensual wonderland. In order to prove to them and to herself that she’s amenable to what this club has to offer, she goes along. The last thing she expects is to meet Master Lucan, the one man who she can’t help but submit to.
Lucan Dicic, the eldest of the Dicic brothers just terminated a long-term relationship with his beloved slave, Luxur and is still coming to terms with her absence from his life. When Gina and Aubrey bring Rachelle to his club, the sparks between them fly instantly. He feels a duty to not just be her Master for a night, but for much longer, even if he won’t fully admit it to himself at first.
Club Lux is an exclusive members only club that tailors to all sorts of sexual fantasies. Lucan Dicic or Master Lucan is the owner and with the help of his two brothers operates the Club named after his former slave of six years Luxur.
Rachelle James lives a pretty mundane life, having been dumped at the alter a year ago she doesn't do much except spend her days working at Dawson's Assisted Living Facility as a Recreation Coordinator and her evening's playing Bingo at the same place with the residents. Needless to say her sex life is severely lacking and the most action she's had since being dumped has been a former acquaintance from college and even that has most recently ended. Noting that her sister Gina and their mutual friend Aubrey have been going out quite frequently she decides to crash their twosome and find out what they've been up to. Disclosing their secret they introduce vanilla Rachelle to the world of Masters and Slaves, Doms and Submissive's.
For me this is where it became a little bit too much and even though I read through and had interest in the hero and heroine and the outcome of their story the actual Club aspect and some of the scenes or some of the terms used within the club just were not my cup of tea. Having said that I feel like I should clarify a bit, the BDSM in this book was not new and isn't anything that hasn't been read before by readers that enjoy the genre. But I also feel like it should be mentioned that within the walls of Club Lux some of the scenes that you will encounter are menage's, scenes that include MMF and without giving too much away it's a sexual taboo paradise (take that as you will) but for some I feel that it's important that be mentioned. On the flip side even though I though Rachelle embraced the Club Lux life rather quickly, I liked that she had her limits or boundaries that she wouldn't cross.
My overall thoughts are that this was a well written book that gives insight into a world unseen and takes the reader on a risque journey that they may otherwise never dare to go. Every book is different, and everyone's tastes vary and for me the downfall was I had a hard time immersing myself in their fantasy oasis and therefore had difficulty relating to the lifestyle lived behind the doors of Club Lux. I would recommend On Display for anyone who is comfortable with the genre but would not recommend to someone looking to experience it for the first time.
