I've been introduced to bad doms and good doms in real life (I'm vanilla ish I guess cause I've never dove into it completely plus researched it for psychology of sexuality class) and this was a great slow quick intro to what I know. Better than the 50 shades saga of cringe.
It has the right amount of intimacy to sexual imagery that tugs at the heart but the story's intro is very much internet blog writing so it dives into the smut fantasy quickly unfortunately. I'd give it full if it weren't for the set up between characters and the thought process switch between them. I do however like how the bdsm scene was handled in comparison to icky main stream works but the trust aspect needed an even more gentle approach. Master Z may be a psychologist but his own action could be even dangerous if misinterpreted. So he needs work a bit.
