Such a great spin on the D/s relationship.  This moves away from the typical young newbie sub introduced to the lifestyle by an experienced Dom.  Vanessa is doing a paper for school about BDSM and interviews Will as part of her research.  What follows is her gradual awakening (the title is so appropriate!!) to the fact that she is a submissive.  But the author throws in so much more.  Will is a hostage negotiator and there is some trouble.  Then we see the sort of subtle shift in Vanessa as the story evolves.  So well done and emotionally nuanced.  The secondary characters, Rod and Nina are well drawn.  The scening is hot and the chemistry between Vanessa and Will absolutely smoking.  I have to admit that I did have some trouble initially with Vanessa but now that I've thought about it, I think the author was trying to convey that Vanessa, while mature, is 22 years old.  I also had some trouble with the age difference but those are my hangups and nothing to do with the book.  The ending was a tad rushed but overall I loved the book so much that I had to give it 5 stars.
