Oh my where to start with this one. This is the fifth book in the series and takes a turn off the established track in many ways. First, it is much longer and feels darker.There are much more serious back stories for the characters and the first theirs of the book is mostly flashbacks. It was a lot of story to take in and at times it dragged. I understand this was to give us more of the Heroes motivations but it could have been chopped down.There is much more scene playing going on in thus book. While that is all interesting and informative, I would have liked more sex in the mix. I did really love the shibari and would have loved more. There is too little about the art in BDSM books!These characters were all rather serious most of the time. It made me miss the banter and sarcastic dynamic of past couples. I have just come to enjoy lighthearted play from the series and was disappointed in the stoic feel of this book.This book also stepped things up with a ménage dynamic. It is easy to see that Zach is very conflicted and as it is his narrative that flows through the story.There is also the whole slave element with Angel. I never really enjoy stories that are slave/master relationships and I found myself skimming at times. I am more of a sassy brat and can relate to them much better than the obedient slave.An interesting read but not a favorite for me. But if you enjoy this type of BDSM I am sure you will love it and all the turmoil.
