Review: Sugar and spice, but wait....

Well, what do I say.. The beginning was all sugar and spice, and a little over the top for me...but very sweet, and I could feel where it might go in the future. But when it got there, I felt a little, I don't know, yanked into the darkness from all the sweet.And then the last third of the book, well.. I felt like Lucca was a little clueless, and he tended to give up too easily for me.. like his life had been all sunshine and roses, and he didn't seem comfortable with really 'knowing' what was going on in Christian's mind. Their latter relationship felt more like a brat/top scenario, then a D/s one for me.The story did bring to my mind that relationships that we assume are 'perfect', and that could never break, well, not always the case... the words we say, the premise that what we believe is true is all an illusion, etc. What does it mean, when we say 'for better or for worse'? Does anyone ever think through what 'unconditional love' is?Anyway, not bad overall, and I can see potential for the author, especially since I received it as a free-read. Someone else had noted, though, that a good editor would have helped in the way this felt too heavy/light in the different portions of the book, and maybe would have given some comments to elaborate on areas that were skipped over, and I tend to agree. Pretty good book though. It did pull me in enough to want to see where it ended :)
