Or so says, Dilly, (Dylan) the very interesting hero of this novel.  As his family breaks down under the weight of a scandal caused by his brother, he decides at age 19 to explore the world of BDSM.  He meets Miss Dolphinia, (my favorite character in any book in a long time), an older transvestite who runs a gay bar.  At the bar, as he learns about this new world under the rather dubious protection of Miss Dolphinia he meets Vincento Hauser.  Vin has been avoiding getting involved in a serious relationship because he tends to become too possesive and obsessive.  Miss Dolphinia decides he and Dilly are just what each other needs and continually throws them together.  Though the world of BDSM is dangerous, Dilly's own home, despite it's sedate and "Leave It To Beaver" appearance, is actually far more dangerous.  Dilly's new friends from the bar may be the only people who can save him from an emotional breakdown and physical harm.I love this book.  I've read it through three times in a row now.  It's very different from the usual thing of this type, I think because the characters are so well-developed and unusual. All the main and side character were wonderful.  The events transpire so quickly you are left gasping for air.  The plot was quite shocking with a plot turn at the end I didn't expect. Be prepared for humor and trauma.  If you like this book you might like the manga, "Totally Captivated"Totally Captivated Volume 1 (v. 1)Also you might like the books Warrior's CrossWarrior's CrossAn Unlocked HeartAn Unlocked Heart (Collars & Cuffs Stories)and the book, "Pup"Pup (Guards of Folsom)(Oh and to me, the cover didn't really fit this book.)  I really want to read a book where Miss Dolphinia finds a new love too, now.  *hint, hint*
