This novella by Ms. Carr reunites Callie with her former Dom, Jack.  She found the strength to walk away three years ago when she recognized that while she loved the way Jack dominated her and loved the man himself, those feelings weren't reciprocated and she admitted that the physical connection wasn't enough to hold her.  She's back in town for a holiday visit, staying with her best friend, when she runs into Jack at a party.  Their chemistry is as blazing hot as ever, and she can't resist resuming at least a temporary D/s connection with him.Naturally the question in a reunion story is whether the couple can make things work this time.  Has the problem that they faced before been removed or resolved?  Have they matured beyond what challenged them before?Honestly, for much of the story, the answer remains very much in doubt.  There's no question that Jack and Callie are very compatible sexually, and her desires with regards to being dominated mesh well with what Jack requires of her in submission.  But both seem to have trouble communicating outside of sex and I found that frustrating (if somewhat realistic).  Because of that lack, Jack came across to me as selfish and Callie as less assertive--both perhaps a bit immature--than I would have liked.I had a hard time understanding Callie's willingness to forego more open communication and Jack's inability to use some verbal connecting as well as the physical.  I really didn't like some aspects of Jack's character at all and felt like Callie was settling--they both seemed so driven by their chemistry that it was a little hard for me to relate, and I think that made it hard for me to understand their perspectives.  This is one of Ms. Carr's earlier stories, and perhaps this is somewhat reflective of that.Ms. Carr does write a scorching story, and Jack and Callie's holidays ARE blazingly hot :)  I have read some of Ms. Carr's other work and enjoyed it tremendously.  This simply isn't one of my favorites, but it  could be yours...
