I devoured Zsadist’s and Bella’s story in one bite! I could not put it down!! It was heart-wrenching. You need to keep the Kleenex box handy for this one!

It has been three months since Nalla’s birth, and anyone who has had children knows the change that a couple goes through during this time. Zsadist and Bella are no different, and they are struggling as a couple and Zsadist is also struggling as a father! Bella misses her hellren and needs to know that he still wants her and needs her, and that I devoured Zsadist’s and Bella’s story in one bite! I could not put it down!! It was heart-wrenching.

It has been three months since Nalla’s birth, and anyone who has had children knows the change that a couple goes through during this time. Zsadist and Bella are no different, and they are struggling as a couple and Zsadist is also struggling as a father! Bella misses her hellren and needs to know that he still wants her and needs her, and that she’s not just a mahmen. Isn’t this the complaint of many new moms? She worries that Zsadist doesn’t find her attractive anymore. Meanwhile, Zsadist is so self-sacrificing that he puts Nalla’s needs before his own. He refuses to feed from Bella because he feels that Nalla needs her more than he does, and sex is non-existent. He also worries about bonding with Nalla, and he refuses to hold her or have anything to do with her. He worries what Nella will think of his slave bands once she understands what the marks mean. Bella gives Zsadist an ultimatum, and she says that she will leave the mansion with Nalla if things don’t change. Zsadist doesn’t even try to stop her or beg her to stay! When he gets injured in the field, he sends Bella a text as he is bleeding out and tells her loves her and is sorry and that he can’t live without her. Bella’s response? She loves him too, but she’s still leaving!

I started reading this late the other night, thinking that I would just read half of the book, but I could not put it down! I had to stay up and finish it, because I could not let Ward leave me hanging…wondering how Zsadist and Bella were going to work through their problems. This was such an emotional story. Even though Zsadist and Bella have had their “Happily Ever After,” I love that Ward shows us what comes next. It isn’t always rosy, and I love that the BDB and their shellens sometimes have real-life relationship issues!

OMG!!!
Yes, that was my reaction, after I finished reading this sweet novella of my favourite couple, Zsadist and Bella. Here a new character has entered the life of this couple, their sweet daughter, Nalla. Bella is both excited and nervous about being a mother. Z, on the other hand, is not even looking towards his new born baby and fears that is his mere shadow will make her dirty.....
