So, I've read a number of BDSM novels and novellas in the past year. Part of what attracts me to them is how much power the sub has in the relationship. One word and everything stops. But in this novel, Lydia really doesn't have a heck of a lot of power. Yes, she's choosing to be where she is. She made the choice to subjugate herself to the three men. But she doesn't have the power to stop any particular sex act. In that way, it isn't standard D/s fiction. It's something more.I enjoyed Lydia's evolution throughout the book. The sex is hot. It's mostly standard D/s sex with a few twists. And Lydia does a good amount of growing. Ultimately she does have a choice as to whether she's an inhabitant of the plantation. But if you're looking for a novel where the sub has ultimate power, this is not the book for you. Lydia has less granular power than a standard sub.The book is very well written and edited and it is a very complete story. I do recommend it. But know when you buy that not all of the standard D/s rules apply here.
