Review: Quick read, decently written.

This was REAL BDSM, none of that 50 Shades hem-hawing where the heroine talks about how much she really, really doesn't wanna do it and gets talked into soft play. Ivan was the most dominant Dom that I've encountered. He did not take "no" for an answer, only the safe word. At many "scenes" I had to put the book down, put my eyeballs back in my head, and close my gaping mouth. But I kept reading because Ivan intrigued me. He's got a touch, maybe more than a touch, of autism and Dryden did a good job with this part of his characterization. Those parts charmed me when his bedroom manners scared me. I also appreciated that the end was a bit non-traditional...
