The synopsis:Girl dumps boy.3 years later, boy dumps girl.Boy threatens girl with restraining order.Boy and girl make up in a BDSM club and live HEA.Throughout, they have down and dirty Dom/sub sex with floggers, nipple clamps, and spanking benches.Obviously, this is grossly oversimplified. For example, I left out Daly and Jeremiah`s Trust Issues, which is a huge part of the story. These two had trust issues the size of Antarctica. They could be poster children for dysfunctional couples. Their entire relationship was based on a lack of trust. Since the bedrock of a Dom/sub relationship is supposed to be absolute trust, no wonder they had such a terrible time making their relationship work.I did note that Daly didn't seem to be able to stand up to Jeremiah about ANYTHING. Example: He breaks into her house repeatedly. She gets angry (understandably), demands to know how he got in, he refuses to tell her. And she just lets it go. Every time! She even has the locks changed, he breaks in afterward, and she asks him with no real heat, 'how'd you get in after I changed the locks?' He smiles or something and she lets it go yet again. I couldn't figure out whether this was because she was submissive or just lacked backbone.There's also a bit of a mystery written into the story, which you may or may not be able to figure out (I didn't til the end). It's fun when erotica has something extra added to the story line, especially when it's done well.The sex scenes were hot, literate and evocative, and appropriate to the story, rather than being thrown in gratuitously.Minor quibble: A woman in her 20s nicknamed Day-day? Slightly nauseating.Would I spend my hard-earned cash on this book? ProbablyWill I look for other titles by this author?
