I've only read one or two other dubious consent erotic novels, they're not really my thing, but Cari Silverwood does an excellent job of walking the edge between dark erotica and erotic romance. For Klaus and Jodie, it is a case of "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." They know just enough BDSM to get them into trouble. They devise a relationship that gets darker and more dangerous as Klaus discovers his inner sadist and Jodie realizes she likes being his plaything.The characters were interesting. At the beginning I liked Klaus better as Jodie seemed rather cool and distant. As things heated up though and Klaus got more sadistic, I started feeling scared for her and worried for the both of them. How far would they go? I don't want to give too much away, but the ending was quite satisfying to me.I liked how the author showed that both characters got too deep into their "play" without making rules and discussing  limits, and they both paid the price. Klaus' reaction to their shared mistake was just as intense as Jodie's. There is enough rough play in the story to please fans of dark erotica, and the discoveries the characters make about their  feelings will satisfy readers of erotic romance.
