First of all, this is not my kink. There are a lot of CW but mostly this is a book about a consensual BDSM between consenting adults. The story, however, starts with an underage female and an adult male. I was troubled by parts of this book: the obsessive relationship between MCs, the initial age gap, the sexual leap in the final scenes. The things I did like about this book: learning about the BDSM relationship, the intensity that remained consistent throughout the story, the politics occurring, the retelling of King Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot. Definitely a 4.75 star book for me.
