I have now read all six of the 'Wicked Play' novels and enjoyed all of them immensely. This book is unlike any of the others as it has a Domme/sub (f/m) relationship. To begin with I found this book quite disturbing and was not going to finish it. However, I changed my mind and am pleased that I did so. There are some very graphic sex scenes throughout and not for the faint hearted, I felt great compassion for Holden and only towards the end did I feel as deeply for V (life's a bitch when a parent is indifferent towards you). I felt they both displayed great courage in 'going after' what they wanted from life, but most especially Holden (as I live in Aust and we don't have a pro league of ice hockey here), as the pre-purchase review stated it would be hard for a macho style male to desire some submissive traits. Holden does also have strong 'vanilla' feelings and so at the end of the book I was unsure if (like Noah) they may have abandoned a great many of the BDSM aspects of their relationship.
