This is not your typical story, either romance or bdsm... its also not for the faint of heart.  I think the synopsis of the book pretty much encompasses the story.  Briony is trying to find her "one" true master after being betrayed by her previous Dom.  Chris wants her but patiently waits and gives her time.  They have a few confrontations throughout the story before he finally corners her.  He's not your typical Dominant.  His methods and needs are very different than she's used to and almost a little uncomfortable for her.  Over time she begins to understand him a little better.This story takes us, first person, through her journey to discover herself and what she truly wants and is capable of giving.  Chris is confident in what he can offer her and knows it will be enough, even though its so different than what she is used to.  "Love" was not the overwhelming emotion in this story.  You could feel it resonating in the background but it wasn't the star of the show, for sure.  Eventually it evolved in to that and it was very powerful.  It was interesting to read this from her perspective.  And the uniqueness of the story in so many ways was as thought-provoking as it was refreshing...I don't know if I could personally wrap my head around all the dynamics of this bdsm story but nonetheless it was a good read and did not fail to affect me deeply, even though it was a short story.  If you like bdsm stories, you will probably enjoy this book.  Its an interesting change to what we typically read.  I'm interested to read future works from this author...
