Review: surprisingly sweet --

The first reviewer was pretty much spot on. You don't expect stories involving BDSM to be sweet, but this one certainly is. Fortunately, this is sweet in a heartwarming way -- not in some cavity-inducing saccharine overdose, but still intense enough to satisfy. And the subversion of the D/s setup was very nice.I've never read a complete Voinov story, but I have read a bunch of Amy Lane. She can do some great emotionally raw writing, and there's plenty of that here. I wish the story was longer -- I get really tired of insta-love, and with shorter novellas like this it is pretty much unavoidable -- but over all, this is a very good read.
