Honestly a great book. Rare to have a dom female in books and even rarer to have one as well written as this one. A great fast read.

read this book in five hours and five hours long "when will it be my turn" bounced through my mind. If I could have any relationship in the world, it would be the relationship of Kate and Mikhail. The whole "Spend all my money and use me" thing? I'm obsessed. 

This is an amazing example of femdom and malesub done deliciously right. Kate making sure Mikhail has safewords? We stan healthy bdsm practices. Mikhail's realization he is in love with Kate? Chefs kiss. Kate's dominant but soft way of handling Mikhail most of the time? My heart has exploded.

Also them playing chess while doing the dirty? While Mikhail is basically falling apart? Genius. If I could I would remove my memories of today so tomorrow I can read this for the first time again.

Read this pretty quickly. 
Enjoyed the sex and exploration of dominance. Felt characters lacks emotional connections. Hero was suddenly in love. Connection created bc of their histories.

I don’t really have any thoughts on the book although it hits all my favorite preferences except for the “spend all his money bit” (never been a fan). Mikhail and Kate are very cute. I wish the book was longer and could expand on their relationship for a bit since i would love to hear more about them and their relationship. They broke my heart and but it back together again. I really liked the book despite being too short for me to take all of them in but its was great nonetheless. 

In my mind they got married and have kids 🫂

Even though it was a short novella, there was still a lot of story and it was so good!
