Exit to Eden by Anne Rampling
3.0
I had to struggle to read through the first half of the book. May be well written and I'm sure people into BDSM would love it, but such things put me off.
The second half is completely different and I found myself lost in it. Not actually lost in the story, but in some of the ideas behind it, when they were outlined... And in my own story, when it was just about the two of them...
So there I was, ten pages from the end, wondering whether it's worth four stars for just half a book, when she ruins it...
Ok, she did point out the real reason for marriage, when it's not done for money or other such interests: A voluntary confinement because the two know their commitment is not strong enough to keep the relationship going in the long run. Also, there is a hint about trying to mix their relationship and The Club in the future, but that's not covered in the book, so for all I know the author doesn't think it possible.
So say things are wrong, but do them anyway. No thank you; goodbye.
