This is a well crafted story and I absolutely enjoyed reading it from start to finish. It's an absorbing and attention-grabbing work that had me engaged from the beginning. The story flows from scene to scene effortlessly, and the author shows exceptional ability when it comes to storytelling.The story had every element a good story should have. An exciting plot, attention to detail, but best of all fleshed out, well-written and well-rounded character development. This interesting and compelling work, as I said, had my attention from the beginning. There are twists and turns in this page turner that will take the reader on both an intriguing and stimulating journey! Also, the writing style is friendly and straightforward which makes for an enjoyable read.This book is a novel and at the same time is a HOW TO for couples who are interested in introducing BDSM as part of their lifestyle into their bedrooms. I believe it is done that way to make those who are interested more attracted to the idea. Of course, BDSM isn't everybody's cup of tea, but I felt the author gave an excellent insight into this intriguing world.While converting to Catholicism, the main central character, Rebecca, is drawn into the world of BDSM. This contrast makes the story all the more interesting given the strict rigidity of religion as opposed to the more liberal minded who can be quite flexible when they want to be! I loved how the author used the protagonist to make a parallel between Catholicism, namely the priests' secret thoughts, and her own sadomasochistic world.I don't do spoilers, so if you want to know more, you'll just have to lift up the bed covers, so to speak, to see what's going on for yourself! Nevertheless, I must admit that I loved having a nibble on this one!
