I received this book from the author for an honest review.Ok I must start by saying I love love LOVE BDSM books. I appreciate the honesty of the relationships and the trust it takes to be in a BDSM relationship. The love story of the 2 main CHARACTERS WAS GREAT. They are both "damaged" and find they can heal through the S and M relationship. I truly enjoyed watching their relationship grow. I loved reading about how the two of them become a strong unit that cannot be shaken down no matter what the tabloids print or say. I loved the honesty that these two find with one another. I give that aspect of the book a solid 4 stars.However, the erotica of the book was too much for my little soul. I couldn't connect with the S and M relationship in the least. Now am I saying it is bad, not at all. I am just saying I found no enjoyment out of humiliation and objectification of a person. I found no enjoyment of urinating on someone or allowing someone to ingest your urine. I found no enjoyment in passing your significant other around as a party favor and referring to her as a F*** Doll or F*** puppet. Now this part of the novel was tough for me to read. I just couldn't appreciate that part of the relationship which both of the characters needed. Now just because I don't like it doesn't mean I wont tell people about the novel. There are a lot of people who want to explore the relationship of this magnitude and more power to you. I guess I will stay a little closer to the 'Vanilla World" then venture out into S and M. So my rating for this part of the book was a 3 star.My overall rating would be a 3.5 star.
