I adored this book. I started reading two nights ago just to take breather from my current reads but I became obsessed. I am so enthralled by their relationship dynamics and even the characters themselves. It was really nice to see the inner thoughts of the bdsm scenes; how it made them feel to do things that were “unnatural” but so obviously right and good for them. 

This just became one of my favorite books and I cannot wait for the rerelease this summer. The only reason it’s not a five star rating is some minor grammar mistakes spread throughout the book but even then, the intensity of the book itself always prevailed in those moments.
