There were things I liked about this story and others I didn't.What I liked:- Blaire was a great character to get to know. I admired her strength of character and her loyalty. I enjoyed watching her discovering her sensuality. Although she had a submissive nature in the bedroom, outside of it she gave as good as she got - even when she was a mess inside.- I was intrigued by the concept of the story. Not because it hasn't been done before but because the blurb gave the impression that it would lead to some interesting outcomes.- The 'air' of mystery behind Blaire and Mr. R's encounters. It added a different edge of the story.- The way the author brought forth Blaire's story and her conflicting emotions over what she was doing and what she thought she was supposed to do.What I didn't like:- Although Jaxxon was rich, hot and sexy, he was kind of creepy too. I liked that he was passionate and dominant, but his stalker behavior just didn't sit well with me. Especially considering the situation Blaire was facing. She didn't need a man stressing her out at that moment. Pfffft!And what was up with the shouting? I don't know about the D/s world, but I don't think Doms go around shouting orders - over the phone or in scenes. In most of the BDSM books I've read the Doms 'speak' in an authoritative voice without having to resort to shouting at every given moment.- The time frame of the story did not work for me. Insta-love? I could get over easily if the connection between the MCs is developed well. Let's face it, sex does not a connection make.Did they have chemistry? Oh yes! But they spent too much time doing the dirty not enough time doing the talking. In two weeks' time their 'insta-lust' could have turned into something more meaningful, but not as the story was written on the page.- That leaves the ending. Nope. Not believable AT ALL! Where were the revelations, the working through of issues? Yes, she saw the bad side of him and was drawn to it, but it freaked me out that she accepted it without him having to deal with it.All in all, a good story that did not meet its great potential.
