I wrote a whole thing and it deleted so here are vague bullet points instead 

• MMC heartless and cold
• FMC agrees to this CRAZY contract way too quickly 
• MMC makes an egregious error when he lets three men he clearly does not know well enough see FMC in bondage without any prior discussion between any of them. And on top of that TURNS AWAY from them long enough that they took vids without consent and assaulted her. 
• When Jace, FMC’s bro walks in on FMC in very vulnerable bondage and punches MMC, MMC just gives up. He doesn’t fight for her and instead tells her that she was getting too attached to him and it was time to end their arrangement. He says this to her in front of Jace and Ash while she is half naked. 
• Jace forgives Gabe WAY too quickly. The office scene where Gabe tells Jace he loves Mia is maybe 2 pages long. Within a page, Jace is forgiving Gabe, despite having previously raised concerns about their BDSM dynamic and its effects on Mia. 
• The sex scenes were plentiful but written in a detached way. They had no effect on me. They almost sounded clinical. We did not hear much about how things felt physically and emotionally for the characters during these scenes. Instead, we got a play by play of the acts themselves, which felt impersonal.
