Wow...I'm not a proponent of pain, so the whole Dom/sub world is not for me-so says, my sane realistic self. According to the author, though, in each woman, unacknowledged, is a little corner, that longs to be a sub and take a man's slippers in her mouth and eagerly crawl on all fours to bring them to him. Happily, I have not met that part of myself yet!LOL. I have met the virago who would happily throw those very slippers at him. However, I digress.Was this story gripping? Yes. Was it erotic? Yes. Did you want to know more about the players? Yes. Am I fine with what I read? That's exceedingly more difficult to answer. I'm a "Shades" fan, but I thought a lot of their story was way out there, but Christian didn't share, not even for therapeutic reasons, as this short story depicted. I couldn't wrap my head around a person dropping his lover off for a week of BDSM with another man. Per this story, it wasn't the first time that "He" did this. Again, wow...I believe that the author shared with me the pain that Daniel, the giftee, felt. It was dark, and all encompassing. Therefore, I totally understand why the gift of a girl sub from your good buddy would brighten up your winter's day, and put a little pep in your step! Right! And Eleanor, well, she had some major issues,too, and she was a little kinked-not kinky-in her thought processes, and major kinky elsewhere. She needs intervention.Having said the above, it was a good read, and I would definitely recommend it. Right now it's free, and a steal, and a taste of what one can expect in the series...It's sort of like that really awful accident on the side of the road, that you really want to look away from, but you can't help but be mesmerized by the way that the cars are all twisted beyond belief, and you're just thankful it wasn't you!
