This was much better than expected. I got way more involved in the relationship than anticipated.
Narrator was also very good.

This one wasn’t very good. Again, we had a very unlikable character who excuses all her behavior on trauma. I also don’t like the narrator. This woman has some very nice and accommodating friends for seemingly no reason because she’s a bitch. She flies to Hawaii on weekends to be dominated professionally. And for all that trouble, the BDSM stuff is pretty tame. It was like she thought it was very dark, but it was very 50 shades. I didn’t get much out of this book, but I may read the second one if I’m waiting for other library holes just to hear what happens next in the plot.

Tamsen Parker's first novel about India and Crispin was definitely a sexy ride!
I read this book after the second one, Intimate Geography, and I have to admit this was a wonderful way to introduce the characters. The novel introduces India and Crispin and their very interesting relationship which involves lots of sexy scenes and R rated words. It's a great ride to follow along and introduces everything at just the right speed.
Crispin is not introduced in the first chapter, which is excellent! Tamsen does an excellent job of introducing the reader to India's current life first, then proceeding to introduce the conflict and pieces of India's past as well.
There wasn't much wrong with this book at all to be honest. I felt like there could have been more "action" or conflict that could have happened, but since this is a series and I have read the second book, I can say it's a wonderful introduction. This definitely is not a standalone novel and should not be read as one. If anything, that is the only problem with this novel. Some novels can be read as part of the series and as a standalone. This one is made to be a series and should not be read as a standalone.
Overall, I really enjoyed it! It's a sexy BDSM novel with lots of twists and turns that I didn't see coming.
I would suggest this novel to people who like: romance, erotica, Fifty Shades of Grey novels with a bigger plot, and drama/emotional reads.
Five out of five stars!

Well I finished it in one sitting, so I think its safe to say that this was attention grabbing! That cliff hanger was a doozy though! Jeepers Creepers! The series is on kindle unlimited, so I can just keep cruising along! Yeah!!

Not a super fan of duology's, otherwise this was a pretty good book (if a bit predictable)
