I usually hate the innocent bs but I love this story, why isn't it all one book?
Struggling with a body image is something we're all familiar with. This is the first time the main character has a stoma bag and I thought that was really cool. It must be difficult to live like that, and accept certain things beyond control and I feel Lenny perfectly illustrates this.
Even though this book barely touched what happened to Nathan, I'm glad that both seem to have relatively uncommon struggles. They may not be as uncommon, but there isn't that much representation in books and films, and I love that this author is changing that.

I feel like this could have used more research
I appreciate the author including a character with a stoma. I feel however, that the author could have done more research into why people have to get stomas, etc. Maybe it's just from lack of detail but I got the impression that they didn't really know what they were writing about. Also, there were several other scenes in the book where I felt the story wasn't fully thought through or explained. Basically, I feel that this story was a good idea but needed more follow through.

I was a little skeptical when I first started this series, BDSM with D/s relantionships are usually not my jam, specially when it's a 24/7 thing. But I was plesant enough to discovered that Lenny and Nathan story is more than just their kink or their roles in the lifestyle.
Lenny is truly new to the scene, and it was really well done. He wasn't a "natural" submissive, but had submissive tendencies and was willing to give it a shot. You can feel his struggle and reluctance to let any other person see his body, to let another person see him.
Nathan is a soft dom, the kind I most love. He is compassionate, sexy, caring. Beautiful first start of a series.
Matt Haynes did an amazing narration. He is a voice actor, he doesn't just read the book but also put emotions behind every scene, every speech. His pace was spot on, the pauses between sentences was also good. And I could differentiate all characters.
