I'd give this book 3 1/2 stars. There was plenty of action in this story that kept it going and I generally liked all the characters. I was also very happy that while there was sex it didn't comprise the entire novel like some of the books I've read. It was also a decent length. This book does leave some minor threads hanging, but by the way the other characters are introduced I can see this book being the beginning of a new series, or at least I hope it is.Despite it being an enjoyable read I did find some room for improvement. While we got to know the characters reasonably well I wanted to know more because I liked them so much. I wanted to know their histories and what made them tick. Again, this could be solved if there are more books in the future, and at times the mc was able to give us a real good feel of some of the characters, but I wish that rather than getting some really strong glances of the side characters, we got a full blown picture of everyone.Some warnings, aka, spoilers: You won't want to read this book if multiple partners bother you. The main character likes that type of relationship and so sex scenes of that nature happen more than once. Also, if you dislike characters that almost every other character likes in some way then this story is also not for you. The mc is liked by almost everyone and while that doesn't bother me I know it irritates some people.There is a d/s club, but the BDMS relationship in this book isn't really what I would call a BDMS relationship. Yes, there's some bondage, some whipping, but the way it's described seems rather light to me and that relationship doesn't leave the bedroom, with the exception of the top being called 'boss' at times.Overall, enjoyable read. I would have loved for the characters to be fleshed out a little more, but I would buy the sequel if the book had one.
