exceeded all expectations. take a look at the book description, read it, doesn’t it sound like stereotypical erotica? I sure thought that this story would contain hot and heavy BDSM scenes (it sure does, no complaints) and fluffy plot filler (not the case! i was wrong!) The plot was complex and character development was intimate and executed perfectly. When I stepped away from the book, I found myself missing the characters. I had become so attached to their lives. Also, I’d like to confess that I’m not a huge dark romance/drama/erotica reader, if anything (similar to Zach Easton) I initially thought the genre to be overrated and filled with subpar content. I was wrong !! I loved this & am thrilled to know I have 9 other books to read. Also this isn’t a light PG-13 book, it features heavy themes and the exploration of BDSM relationships - which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But you never know unless you read!

I loved this book! With rich character development, a teasing story line, and the promise of another, I am hooked! Each main character was beautiful and intriguing. This was the first book in a long time that I took my time with and it was simply an indulgence. I would almost compare it to Five Shades but that would be doing this work an injustice. Well written and meant to be appreciated!

Storywise it is a bit more darker than 50 shades of grey. Different story as well!

I found this book really disturbing...interesting sociologically but not smut-ily.
