I can only say - Wow. I read this book, turning every page like a greedy addict just trying to get to the next few lines and see what happened. This book simply blew me away and kept me enthralled with every word.The story of Detective Gavin DeGrassi being sucked into the BDSM world after some particularly gruesome murders, then meeting psychology consultant and Dom Ben Haverson, is one of the most compelling reads I've had in a long time. I absorbed every line, every desire of Gavin's to become a sub and have Ben teach him all about his world. The story line is terrific, the back ground plot so entertaining and fascinating and the characters themselves are so multi dimensional I felt as if I could reach out and touch them.Ben's love for Gavin, his willingness to teach him about his life and world, and Gavin's dependence on Ben to keep him safe and loved, just made my little heart pitter patter in its overstuffed container and made me laugh, cry, take a deep breath and feel with them as their relationship developed. And of course the sheer hotness of the sex scenes and the love making did a lot to make said heart beat faster as well...just so well written and believable -oh and did I say 'HAWT'?The disturbing and emotional scenes throughout the book that play out to a very gut wrenching and visceral scene which had me literally squirming in my seat are beautifully written with thought, empathy and a real consideration for the scene in which this book is set, that of the world of BDSM.Of course, I've read the second book 'Safeword' too (wild horses couldn't keep me away when I heard this was out and it was on my Kindle immediately) and that review will be put up shortly too. No surprises there I'm sure as to what I'm going to say about it...
