Being dominated by someone isn't about having a low self-esteem, it's about needing to give up control, and needing someone to take care of you. This is the theme that author, Cari Silverwood explores in this interesting novel about passion, love, loneliness, and loyalty.Danii is a complex character, because she is all alone in the world and has no one to take care of her, yet she goes out of her way to take care of others. She is a kind person, who helps out her neighbors whenever she sees an opportunity. She feels it is her duty to take care of people, which is why she became a police officer. However, she isn't feeling much satisfaction from her work or her life, as she begins to feel an overwhelming sense of helplessness at the awful stuff she has to see and deal with every day.  Her lack of understanding about why she is drawn to Heketoro and his dominate ways is a fascinating study in psychology that will give you insight into not only Danii, but the need to be dominated on the whole.Heketoro is a character that I wasn't fond of at first. He comes off as very arrogant and a little abrasive, but as interacts with Danii and reveals who he really is, you will come to see him as a brave, loyal and tender creature. He ends up being someone you want by your side in a battle, in your bed at night, and holding your hand throughout the day.The sexual scenes in this story are interesting to say the least. There is a definite paranormal twist that I haven't seen, and it makes for a fascinating and steamy read. This whole novel is creative, erotic, sexy and full of adventure. Ms. Silverwood could easily make some sequels from this book, and I really hope that she does.
