I am having trouble finding the right words for this review. On one hand this book has some amazingly hot sex scenes but on the other there were some things I’m finding it hard to look past. The biggest thing that I had a problem with was the approach to the BDSM relationship. It’s not until toward the end that they approach a conversation about what they want from this relationship and it’s not even a real conversation. It’s mixed in while they’re fooling around and I really don’t think that should have happened. At the beginning Matt mentions that they need a safe word and Lucy says ‘I wouldn’t have used it anyway’ but then a safe word is never picked. Ever. Matt mentions wanting to be in control but in a true dom/sub relationship the sub has the control, they have the power to stop it at any time, and I just felt like Matt was being a bad dom and not ensuring her safety fully. Safe word, use them.The second thing I had a problem with, and seems much less important after all that, is the very short amount of time that it took Lucy and Matt to ‘fall in love’. A lot does happen and it would have been easy to pretend that it took longer than a week and I would have, and had, until Lucy mentioned that it was only a week. I think it would have been better spread out over a longer period of time. There isn’t a rule that says romances need to happen within a week.Overall, a good enjoyable read from Tessa Bailey. I was up way too late (6 am) reading this book and only stopped because the words were blurring together. I immediately picked the book back up when I woke up. Not my favorite in the series but definitely a great addition to a wonderful series.Denise @ Dandelionn Wine Book Blog [...]
