This was a very intense story from the very beginning about a woman trying to come to terms with her past and accept her womanly side in a man's world.  There were quite a few scenes of BDSM used by Adam to gain the affection of Taylor.  These scenes were evenly paced throughout the story and were very imaginative.  I give the author credit for keeping things spicy.  There were times that these scenes overshadowed character development though.In the case of Adam in particular, once the story was over I felt that I still knew nothing about him.  He was purely used to draw Taylor out from behind the wall she'd built.  Considering his comfort with BDSM I wish we would have learned more about his background in that world.  As it stood, I felt rather cheated by not knowing him better and never felt fully invested in their relationship because of it.The character of Taylor sees emotion as a weakness.  A tough childhood has led to her putting up barriers to protect her heart.  This has led to two different sides to herself...M and Taylor.  M is from her childhood and stands for her feminine side of Molly.  It's this side that Adam is trying to reach.  It did become a bit odd for Adam to keep swapping her names but the reason behind it made sense even though it was distracting at times.This book is long on intensity but is a bit short on character development.  I would've liked to have had more background on the characters and interactions with others to better understand who they were.  I enjoyed the intensity of the sexual interludes though and that kept me intrigued until the end.  Even though this book didn't fully work for me on every level, I still found this an intriguing read and want to read more from this author.
