Wow!!! This is the first book in the Twisted and Tied series by Blue Kincaid. I've looked, but can't find, any other books by this author. This reads like she's been writing for years. It's that good. Yes, it's erotica...but it's also romance. It's sweet. It's hot. It made me smile. It made me want to smack some people (their exes). And then...back to sweet.Can an erotic book be charming? This one certainly is. Harry was hurt. His Dom side took a hard hit two years previously. He needs to find his confidence. He hires a professional sub at the behest of one of (hot) friends). December takes on the job because she likes to help people. And she knows he does need some TLC, in a perfectly sub sort of way, of course.Both of these characters need some healing. Lucky for us they find it with each other...oh, and with Raphe at one point.Yes, this is not for the under 18 crowd. There's some kink here. But this isn't smut, at least not to my mind. I'm not fond of "smut for smut's sake." Thankfully, Ms. Kincaid doesn't go that route.I liked December's "bratty" mouth as she pushed Harry's buttons. And Harry liked it, too. There's a line that sums this relationship:“Because any Dom knows that the submissive is the one in control. He might wield the crop or the candle wax or the rope, but she holds the reins. Nothing happens without her consent.”So while she's the sub...she's still in charge, and they both know it.Yes, I'm impressed, and now anxiously awaiting the next book, Taming Drew. The writing was that good. I need more.*Thank you, NetGalley and Blue Kincaid, for the opportunity to read FWiD
