If you have read any of my previous bdsm reviews then you know I like my bdsm stories light. In fact I prefer vanilla sex with a little kink thrown in every now and again, but this author made me eat my own words. Lisa Oliver made a couple flogging scenes acceptable. She made the recipient / the sub such a tough strong wolf shifter who could take, who wanted the heat and pain of the beating. He was able to shift to heal, yet he chose not to because he wanted to be marked by his " Master", to feel that he'd been with him.There is so much here-not just one man beating a smaller "willing" sub. Why Levi subbed for a man whom he actually could be a Dom to? How did they end up being partnered? Why was he so unhappily submissive? Why did his "Dom" treat him so shabbily? Why did he tolerate it? Why was the behavior permitted by the club owner / alpha? You learn the importance of aftercare. You get into the psyche of both MCs. Then you see what happens when there are multiple misunderstandings. How a couple of dunces can make everyone's lives miserable.One of the best things about the end of this story is the preview of the next in this series, Pearson's story. I can't wait. So if you enjoy reading about two strong willed men whose excess baggage make their being together a trial. Enjoy mates who fight against their inherent attraction. Like men who treat each other as equals except when doing a scene. Want two men obviously meant to be together but for whom that HEA is a matter of many trials and tribulations to continue to fight for each other. Like a some bdsm sprinkled in your story then this book is for you.
