This is one of the best BDSM books I've read, and the absolute best with a female dom/ male sub dynamic.
I enjoyed Donovan and Lilly's story and I liked that there was an exploration of Lilly and Donavan as people outside their d/s relationship.
Lilly and Donovan fall in love not because they are the perfect d/s couple but that is a facet of their relationship. They spend time out of their persona's and actually connect as regular people something I enjoyed with their coupledom and also just because it is so rare.

In general I liked the character dynamics -- the power imbalances in most of the billionaire romance scene kind of bother me, and I liked how this book addressed the issue and how the author took the trope and made the heroine the Domme and the hero the sub to balance things out a bit, in what seemed like a playful way.
It did seem a little magically perfect in places, but if you're a fan of sweeter romances that might be ok with you. If you're a fan of darker romances, this might not do it for you.
It didn't seem to have the intensity of some of the other Burkhart romances I've read, but the worldbuilding was a lot easier to understand than her PNRs usually are.
