Ok...I shut my kindle screaming "Stupid story!!" I know there are people who are into the extreme BDSM and this was definitely a tale of subjugating the female character...all because she's part of a clan that she didn't know she belonged to. The whole premise was ridiculous and half way into the book I was thinking about just deleting it but I persevered to the end.Michael started out as really intense almost to a stalker stage. Kate started out as this really independent woman and in the end due to Michael's "training" she becomes a submissive - much to his delight...because of course only through being controlled, whipped, pinched, shackled, tied and treated like a dog will Kate ever achieve ecstasy and release to become the submissive she was born to be...because that is part of what the clan is all about - pleasure through pain. And Michael is the ultimate dominant that needs his submissive dog in order to be whole! Blech!!!!! Gag!!!! I can stomach a little BDSM but this type of sexual play is so demeaning. At one point he fantasized about all the purple bruises he will leave on Kate's white skin because that turns him on. Ok Michael...and uh..Michael also has an abnormally huge manhood that he hurts Kate with when they finally do have actual intercourse. Oh please!!!! Spare me! This book was all about demeaning a woman to bring pleasure. Excuse me but I think I will pass. I didn't see much romance in this book but with the title of "Power and Pain" what did I really expect. Uh...I will NOT get Book 2.
