yan is a hanging on to his sanity by a thread. His constant struggle to deal with his past has made him a shell of the man he could be. Without a doubt, he has come a long way. But there are only so many times that you can shove the past into a corner and not deal with it. Ultimately, it is going to come up, bite you in the ass and explode all around you.This is how we find Ryan. From the outside, he has it all - a great career, a great daughter, a happy life. But underneath that facade is a man who is struggling to keep away the demons that haunt him.What a roller-coaster ride of a story!When the story begins, we are immediately catapulted into Ryan past. The situation is horrendous, the account of it even more so. Kudos to Margaret McHeyser for bringing forth such a horrific set of events in a way that has your heart breaking for the child Ryan used to be but glad that he is still able to lead the life he does.There's not much that I can say without giving too much away and I hate it because I want to tell you what Ryan's story entails.Heartache. Fear. Lust. Yearning. Discovery. Frustration. Freedom. Happiness.This is truly a journey of healing and moving on. But the bonus is the hot factor that was added into the mix. The BDSM scenes were great, the sex was wonderful and the connection and chemistry between the characters to die for!I loved Ryan and Mason together. I loved Ryan and Stella together. I loved it all!I laughed and I cried. I tapped the hell out of my tablet when the BDSM scenes came on, I read, re-read, highlighted and devoured it all.My only complaint would be that I didn't get to truly experience the connection between Stella and Ryan as more than Master and sub until the story was almost done. I did enjoy their scenes and appreciated the way Stella went about dealing with Ryan and his issues. I just wish I could have seem them together more outside their play time so that I could fully experience the extent of their connection as a couple. If I'm being truthful, I thought Ryan shared more of a connection on the page with Mason than he ever did with Stella.But thankfully, that didn't interfere with my enjoyment of the overall story. In the end, Margaret Mcheyzer made sure that I had enough of their connection to accept the outcome and come away happy when I finished.All in all, an intense emotional read about finding yourself again and fighting your demons by leaving your past behind and leading the life you were meant to live.
