Review: Pain vs Pleasure, Dark vs Light, Enslaved vs Freedom,
Rating: 4 out of 5

I've read a lot of books but this was a first for me. I've never really read a hard core BDSM book. I've read some books that I would now classify as possers after reading this book. So if you have a thing against pain and the thought of being "owned" by someone else turns your stomach, then this isn't the book for you... thought the book touches on the fact that she was never really owned against her will... it was ALWAYS her choice to be there.Also there is a subplot that is M/M and I had to have my urban dictionary handy for a few words.I am a student of why... what is the root issue... and this book did a good job of solving for Y. Growing up with a parent that loves drugs more than you or finding your mom with a needle in her arm in the kitchen would be a good why as to the reason someone would like pain over pleasure.I had issue with a twist or two but end the end that is what really made the story more than just an erotic porn and turned it into a erotic romance. Also it is the reason I look forward to reading the next two books.I would not recommend this to a person that thought that 50 Shades was a "naughty" book because this book will poke their eyes out. But I would recommend it to people who might have already lost an eye or two to books like this!PS I wasn't paid to read this book, but I was allowed an ARC from Netgalley, in exchange for my honest review.
