This was great! I have a few negatives but mostly positives. The progression was a little quick for me in the beginning, but I understand that that's due to it being such a short book, plus I'm personally a control freak and wouldn't be able to relax shall we say, as quickly as Phoebe did. There were also a very few minor typos, but that tends to happen with ebooks I've noticed. There were so many small things in this book that I really appreciated because I rarely if ever see them in sexy/smutty books. When they had sex it was shown that there were condoms involved without taking you out of the sexiness of the scene. There was clear consent before they did anything. This is where my previously stated control freak issues came up because personally I'd be setting the guy down for a full on conversation beforehand BUT i can realize that that's not necessary for everyone and consent was definitely made clear. I would have liked if he had made sure she had safewords but that didn't seem to pose a real problem. They have great communication, he always makes sure she's okay, she tells him any issues she has, etc. Amazing show of communication. This shows the importance of aftercare. This perfectly illustrates that in a D/s relationship the sub is the one actually in control and also the distinct difference between an abusive relationship and a D/s relationship, which some books don't do remotely well at all *cough* fifty shades *cough*. I really appreciate that he told her that he was on her computer and interacted with her ex, though I would have appreciated if he'd also told her about disabling her car, though I have a feeling he will in the next one.
Overall this was very well done and, as I said, has a lot of small things that make me very happy to read. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what happens in the next one!
