I had a very hard time putting this book down, despite my children begging for lunch and dinner that day. (j/k)
While I've read some erotica before, as well as BDSM, I'm not as well-read in this genre as in others. However, I'm familiar with BDSM from a personal stance and I have to disagree with some of the other reviewers who complained that this was "vanilla BDSM." The beauty of the lifestyle is that there are so many levels to it. Not everyone who practices BDSM is going to go hard-core, 24/7. Beyond the kinky bedroom play, these characters identified with dominance or submission. *And* Brynn was relatively new to it. Just sayin'.
I enjoyed how the author flipped between Then and Now, showing us the relationship of the hero and heroine in current day and ten years prior. It was a unique, and effective, way of illustrating how they'd changed and grown.
I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in the series, and have already pre-ordered the in-between novella.
