I really enjoyed the dynamic between Kate and Mikhail. As someone who related to Kate’s experience with sexuality, this passage from the text really spoke to me
It was the care. It was maybe the first time in her life she’d been with someone who’d cared about fulfilling her needs. Her exes had all liked being dominated in bed, but in a selfish way, where Kate had to be both mistress and servant—in control of their pleasure, but expected to get her own satisfaction from the control alone. She hadn’t dated in a while because she’d started to wonder if she actually liked the things she thought she liked. If she did like dominating men, why did she find them so exhausting? Maybe all the neglect and chaos of her childhood had affected her more than she realized, and taking control with romantic partners was just a coping mechanism.
This was something that I struggled with for a long time, as many portrayals of MF relationships are too often Male dom and Femme sub. This book is great for the subtle theme of empowering women to reclaim their sexuality and not be afraid to reach for it.
The writing was also very good, well-paced and matched the personalities of the characters and tone of the narrative. Guerre does a wonderful job of bringing find justice to femme dom/male sub relationships without the usual rhetoric that makes it too vulgar or crass.
Got this rec from Reddit and happily impressed! Lots of heartwarming moments between Kate and Mikhail that had me laughing out loud and smiling for them

Great femdom 😈 book and just great dynamic. The smut was good and the characters were vibes.
I read this so fast! Heavy on the steam and femdom aspect but with very emotional character development, especially for one of the main characters. I like Mikhail and Kate, who did their best to overcome their painful experiences growing up. I enjoyed this! Looking forward to reading more of the author's works.

I loved everything here - the hot power dynamic between Kate and Mikhail, the tender way they each developed feelings, her conscious dismantling of capitalism, his understanding of the wounds she carried. This story sucked me in and didn’t let me go! Heather Guerre does it again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

this is not something i would ordinarily seek out but i enjoyed it overall! it was well written and in 3rd person which i don’t see much of in romances but there wasn’t much side plot so it felt a little flat to me. i liked the characterisation for the most part but the mcs both felt quite contradictory and it took me out of the story.
