I picked this up expecting a steamy, cheesecakey BDSM romance and that's exactly what I got. Some other reviewers bemoan the story's unrealistic qualities, but those didn't bother me. In my mind, that's why people read books like this--it's fun! In fact, it was quite fun to buy into the fantasy of a gorgeous and uber-wealthy woman paying off your student loans for you, when she's no more than 10 years your elder. The BDSM scenes were well-done and mindful of the realities of how to engage in BDSM safely, sanely, and consensually. This, I'd say, is the book's highest merit. I'd recommend this book to someone who is unfamiliar with BDSM outside the incredibly unhealthy dynamic featured in 50 Shades of Grey. The book didn't sufficiently hold my attention throughout, though. The scenes that did not specifically involve Mel and Vanessa's relationship were often boring and bordering on telenovela-esque. Oh, well. It's a short book, and the steamy scenes more than make up for the stale parts in between them. Really enjoyed it and will definitely explore other f/f fiction for a treat. :)
