Wow, this book is a pill. Wordy, tiring, and overly literal.  I've read some "out there" books about abuse and being held in sexual captivity, so at no point was I shocked, just bored.I bought it because reviewers said that it was gut wrenching and thought provoking but unfortunately, it was neither.  The sexual content is so plentiful that it seems almost gratuitous and counterproductive. It felt like the author was bludgeoning me with their abusive pasts. I get that these past encounters scarred and warped their views of intimacy, power, and pleasure, but do I really need to read 18 pages of an orgy to get the picture? I didnt know whether to read or get out a red pen.The main characters are devoid of any real emotion and remain two dimensional throughout the book which is astounding considering the hefty baggage they're toting.Holy crow, I'm tired just thinking about this book.Number of Sex Scenes: 20+Sexual Content: Erotic/Sadomasochistic/ m/m, f/f, m/m/f/fOverall Ratings/Comments: HEAVY - 2.5 Stars
