Review: Intense, erotic, and slightly disturbing
Rating: 5 out of 5

**Potential Spoilers**This is not your average erotic novella. Trust me, I've read hundreds. Cara McKenna is a great writer (so is her alter ego). She writes and makes that characters feel real. I felt like I was inside their marriage, inside their bedroom, just one more voyeur for Emily to enjoy. I postponed reading this book for a while to be in the right frame of mind. I knew this book was going to be intense. I'm glad I was in the right frame of mind for that intensity. CM glossed over some negative details about the characters within the book that frankly, I'm kind of glad she did. Sometimes writers go into thorough details about negative things that happened in the past to the character (to help us better understand them) and then I personally can't get those negative things out of my head when reading the rest of the novels.Note: There is some non-sexual (but in a sexual context) mm touching.Bottom line: I loved this novel. I am fascinated with the relationship between Rasul and Emily. They felt so real, so right together. I am beyond fascinated with Rasul. I would love to catch another glimpse into their life, but the reality is that it would bring more changes to his personality and their relationship that I just wouldn't want to read about.
