This was so not what I expected.  While I really enjoy BDSM themes, the concept of a female dominant (Domme) had never tripped my trigger before.  But - this is a Tymber Dalton book after all, and she rarely steers me wrong so I took a chance and I LOVED IT!!  It is so different from the norm.  Written in first person with chapters alternating between `Her' and `Him', it explores the development of a husband who wants to submit to his wife and her struggle to accept that role in their relationship.  What she really wants is to let go of control and be cared for herself.  The psychological journey described is one of the best I have read into the mindset of a dominant.  She wants to give him what he wants because it makes him happy but she is tired of keeping it together and being the `good girl' that everyone relies on.  After much angst, they find a way to make it work for them with some surprising and unexpected results!  The character development was such that I was cheering for them before they figured things out for themselves.  You want them to find a path that works for them because you can see they love each other in an achingly sweet way.  There is very little description of physical BDSM play, the sex is steamy but restrained.  It is a psychological book more than a graphic erotic romance.  This book is a love story detailing the depth of sentiment and what one couple is willing to do to ensure that the needs of their mate are satisfied.  Well worth a read to ask yourself - what would you do for the man you love?
