Linger (v): to stay somewhere beyond the usual or expected time; to continue to exist as time passes; to remain alive while becoming weaker.I use this definition for this story because it explains what this book has done, for me. It has lingered for the past four days as I forced myself to spend time with my family during the holidays (and yes, force, is the right word as I could have curled up and finished it in a matter of hours). It has continued to exist even after finishing it earlier in the day. And although I have not been finished with it long enough for it to be alive while becoming weaker, this story will resonate with me for a very long time.I found myself sobbing as the story opened each petal of each couple shared parts of their stories. I cried along with Marc & Angelina as they both cried. I giggled each and every time Marc hit a ticklish spot on Angelina. I *gasped* when, yet again, tragedy, turmoil and heartbreak struck, again and again in their small community of Doms and submissives.KM has assaulted not only my senses, she's tied me up and made me be patient as she unwound this story of Marc & Angelina for all of us to understand more about them. This story has led me down the path of this author becoming one of my all-time-favorites from here until forever.
