I'm going with 4 stars because I enjoyed the heck out of this book. However, whoever edited this book needs to have a serious time-out in the naughty corner.This book juggled a few topics that are easy to mess up. The main character has PTSD from his time in the military, so there are a lot of psychological issues that come into play. This book is also a GFY/OFY, which if done poorly can read really false. Additional, there is domestic discipline in this book with an emphasis on spanking as a fetish. The author managed to combine these elements in a surprisingly cohesive and emotionally charged way.I liked so many things about this book. I happen to really enjoy domestic disciple books as that sort of lifestyle intrigues me. Here, it is kind of like intro-DD or light BDSM because it is really all about spanking for pleasure instead of discipline, though that is the direction the couple is headed in. And, damn those spanking scenes were HOT! The passion between Christian and Logan was absolutely palpable.It is well known that I'm a sucker for GFY books. I can't get enough of them, when they are done right. I just loved going along with Christian through his journey of being attracted to a man for the first time. His struggles with his sexuality and coming to terms with his desires really worked for me. The author did a great job showing progression of Christian and Logan's partnership. Their relationship felt natural and they worked beautifully together.However, this book was not without flaws. It has some seriously annoying and out-of-the-blue POV changes (one of my BIGGEST pet peeves). Also, this book is typos galore. When I read "prostrate" instead of "prostate", I actually growled out loud. Additionally, the author NEEDS to use a word other than "russet" to describe Logan's skin tone. NEEDS. Get a thesaurus, please! Honestly, I blame the editor for a lot of these issues. This book needed a firm hand (ironically for a spanking book!) in the editing process and I would have been blown away.**Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review**
