I loved the premise of this story: a man who has been abused, perpetuates the cycle of abuse on himself until he is saved by the love of the heroine. However, the author doesn't really deliver. The story starts off as potentially smoking hot, the h is invited to a club where the H presents himself for extreme sexual debauchery night after night. But then the story takes off from there without looking back to make sure the ensuing is logical or cohesive. The h goes from completely uninterested in the H to possessive and jacking him off to sexual release in about the course of three paragraphs. Because she can sexually satisfy him, the H is intrigued but afraid so he turns into a gigantic douche bag, calling the h every degrading name under the sun. But this only makes him more attractive to the h. She turns her life upside down to help him, despite his rebuffs at every turn. Then the story gets really confusing, switching from a contemporary BDSM story to a futuristic paranormal where we find out that the H is super human due to government testing. His family was kidnapped and tortured with testing to make them all superhuman, but intolerant of human touch. He and the h are kidnapped and torture. There is a son. They call him peanut. He is also super human. The h and H have lots of loud sex at inappropriate times in inappropriate place. A secret mom appears. The H has a tracker in his prostate. The h and H have more sex. People are killed. The H who also is a genius manages to take down an unsanctioned government experiment lab. The h and H have more sex. Confused? That's what reading this book was like...
