This book had some seriously HOT scenes! But, I loved how more than being all about Brooke and the men she's attracted to, it's about Brooke taking control of her life. When the book starts, she's in a stagnant relationship with Karl (who she refers to as "Kind Karl"). He's a nice guy, but he's not really passionate about anything. Brooke wants to go out and do things, have new experiences, eat new foods, etc, while Karl's happy to stay home with a pizza and some beer. The relationship really isn't doing it for her anymore.Brooke meets Marshall - a sexy older man who lives in her building, when she visits the building gym one morning. He gives her some great business advice that helps her get noticed at her company, which also helps her get noticed by Jack.Jack is married, but things haven't been going well for awhile. Jack is a very dominating person, and unfortunately, so is his wife. Neither wants to submit to the other, and they are struggling. They still feel deeply, but they are just not compatible. At least, not sexually. Jack senses a submissiveness in Brooke that he wants to explore further, and he takes steps to get to know her, and the book picks up its pace.One of the things I liked best about this book, is that it's not a book about cheating. Neither Jack nor Brooke enter into a relationship together without first ending the one they are currently in. There are too many books that have cheating and infidelity, and even though they have an instant connection, they don't act on anything. In fact, Jack actually refuses to do anything with Brooke while Karl is still in the picture.The only thing that I felt was missing from this book, was some kind of clue as to who was narrating the chapter as it does switch back and forth. It would take me a minute to figure out who was speaking this time, and the only way you were clued in was when the other persons name was said. Other than that, this was a fantastic read and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a story with mild BDSM.
