I would have given this book a full five stars but I did find a few things missingNumber One - I felt all four characters should have been more developed ---- more so, Lydia, Kruin and Gabriel.....I kind of "got" Preston....Number Two - I thought that Preston was just a LITTLE TOO unkind toward Lydia - It was so obvious that he was obsessively in love with her....Number Three - The costume party scene was just a bit much for me - I felt the crux of the story was about the "Dark Triad" and Lydia - It felt kind of icky that Preston subjected Lydia to group discipline and sex....That being said, I could not put this book down---It was wonderfully written and the storyline was very original---A woman driven to the point of turning herself over - emotionally and physically to three such different men to avoid going to prison...Her emotional and sexual awakening....Some of the scenes were very, very intense - this book is not for the feint of heart....I cried right along with Lydia after her first whipping....The emotion just jumped off the pages as I read....I felt the anger/hatred between Preston and Lydia.....The least connection I felt was with Kruin and Lydia.....Gabriel and Lydia had chemistry! I think Lydia was in love with him and Gabriel with her....There were subtle and not so subtle intimations in physical gestures and he was the only one of the three that said the words "Making Love" to her... I see there's a sequel coming soon...PHEW!!! Can't wait!!!
