Learn the hard way that you don't like spanking with this erotic (but never sexy) spank-fest.

The spank/content ratio of this review is lower than that of the book.

I wish I could tell you this had me hooked for all the right reasons, but it doesn't. I adore a good erotica, but it gets to a point it just feels a little gross. I am not against BDSM at all, I give kudos to the description of how there is a relief/freedom during the punishment. It's just... not great. I mean, it got me. As I tried to see what else was written. This is a trainwreck for me personally.
HOW MANY KINGDOMS ARE THERE? TO HAVE SO MANY PRINCE / PRINCESS SLAVES? I know this is fiction. Also, there's this whole 'no one is lower than you as a slave' yet the moment they are handled by anyone beyond the court people they're treated so badly. This didn't fit my socialist agenda.

I heard this was a bit of the “original” 50 Shades, and I definitely prefer it over that! There was a bit more storytelling than I thought there would be in an erotic novel but overall I liked it!
