Still smarting from the betrayal of a cheating spouse and a recent divorce, Anne retreats to a friend's cceanside B & B to lick her wounds during the anniversary of her marriage - Valentine's Day. The owner, Jack, was a good friend of her ex. He's also suffered a loss - his wife and submissive died of cancer three years ago. Anne is aware of Jack's Dominant urges and lifestyle because his late wife had clued her in and shown her their playroom. Far from being scared off, she's intrigued...which is good thing because Jack, who has taken Anne's side in the divorce, has big plans for her over Valentine's Day.What I liked most about this book was the tenderness and caring that Jack demonstrated toward Anne, even though he was a Dom. It was easy to believe that Jack cared for her and her well-being. The one thing that happened a little too quickly for me was Anne's switch from being intrigued by bdsm to her full willingness to try it. I would have liked some indication earlier that she'd had those yearnings. That didn't hinder my enjoyment of the story though.Sue Lyndon has crafted a quick, fun afternoon read with likable characters.
