First up I would like to say that domestic discipline is the one area of BDSM that I LEAST understand. Who wants to control every aspect of their (supposed) partner? How boring (IMO). I'm always left wondering why they don't just get a dog? Having said that, I have enjoyed books where domestic discipline is part of a romantic story & I have been able to put aside my personal distaste to really enjoy the story. In fact, one of my favourite books features a domestic discipline relationshipBound and Determined. This book just left me confused. How is this relationship supposed to work? The needs of the two characters are almost diametrically opposite! Aiden seems to truly 'need' the pain (admittedly not in the doses dealt out by Scott) whereas Keaton seems incapable of giving Aiden what he needs. Keaton needs/wants a submissive who is totally dependent on him whereas Aiden is resentful of his dependence. How is this going to be a HEA?The book is well written & the characters are beautifully portrayed but I am unable to be comfortable with the resulting relationship between Aiden & Keaton which seriously detracted from my ability to enjoy the story.
