Every so often, I read a book and take about three notes, one of them being the main character's name. Then, I completely forget to take notes after that because I am so obsessed with the book. This was one of those books. I was hooked on this book from the very first page. I simply couldn’t read fast enough. I wanted to absorb this book; that’s how much I enjoyed it.
One of my favorite things about this book was the aftercare. There were some BDSM elements in the book and after each session, Lady Cora made sure Grace had proper aftercare. It was so lovely to see that. Aftercare is so very important when engaging in BDSM and the fact that this book had it is just awesome. It needs to be in every book that has BDSM
I loved that this book was one big healing journey for Grace, who was the main character. She had to learn how to trust and heal after dealing with her husband's abuse. It was a long process, but I was rooting for Grace the whole way through even when she was being extremely difficult and stubborn. If I'm being honest, I saw a little bit of myself in her as I also had to go through a healing journey after a bad relationship. Grace wasn’t perfect but she was perfect to me.
Overall, this was such a fantastic book as you all might have been able to tell with my glowing review. I enjoyed it so much and I never wanted it to end. Everything about it was just so good. I adored the relationship between Lady Cora and Grace. The spicy senses were so spicy. This book healed something in me. I highly recommend this book.
