Wow, not sure where to start... I guess I should start with the fact that I almost let this book slip through my fingers. Being one that isn't that big of a fan with BDSM, I was very hesitant with getting it. But, with the help of my nagging head and a couple of reviews stating that the BDSM was on the mild side, I decided to give it a try. Sure glad I did. The story was to interesting for me to pass up. I loved the detail that went into explaining the world of BDSM, and I found myself understanding it better then I had.I had once read a story of a man that was kidnapped and tortured, after his rescue, his lover helped him heal from his damaged self by submitting. I left that story thinking how can that even be possible? How can someone go through such unmentionable torture and then be okay to go through the role of a sub? Didn't make sense. AJ Rose's book made me more then understand, he made me appreciate both the Dom and sub role. He is so clear on explaining every part of it, in a well written way. I had a lot of 'wow' and 'oooooh, okay... now I understand' moments.The characters are very likable, I loved both Gavin and Ben. The detective stuff was interesting and had me turning pages to figure out the mystery behind everything. Unlike some other reviewers who guessed 'who done it', I had no idea, I was quite surprised, I guess some people are good that way.Power Exchange is a great read, with great characters, and a great storyline, and very well written. Highly recommend it! So happy I didn't pass it up:) I will definitely be on the look out for more of AJ Rose's work!!
