****SPOILERS****THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!! STOP READING NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ SPOILERS!!!!Okay you were warned...I really liked Gus. He is a good guy. Would have been nice to get a little more of his background, but you get a good sense of who he is & why. Aislinn is not very defined, other than being a Domme & a high end doughnut shop owner. In her inner dialog she states that she became a domme after an a$$hole ex boyfriend gave her panic attacks. How did that come to pass? How did the dominant come out? How did she hook up with Mondo for training? How is it all his best friends know about the woman Mondo has been mentoring for years, but Gus has no clue, even though he has been to the club?My first big problem was the menage scene at the club. Aislinn chose that scenario b/c she wanted to humiliate Gus b/c he topped her the first time they had sex in the club. She didn't set this up b/c she was trying to break down a submissive's barrier & she thought he would enjoy it. She set the scene as payback, to make herself feel in control & that she had the power. In the end to me it made her look weak. Not a trait I like to see in a dominant, even if it is just a story.My second issue was them saying I love you at the end. You've known each other a week. Seen each other 4 times, had sex 3 of those times. The 2 of you have had 1 conversation that didn't involve sex & you're in love? Seriously? I get that this is fantasy, but come on, there was no basis for love at that point. I would have liked to have seen the I love yous a little later, especially since this is a continuing series.I liked the direction the story was going. It seems as if half the development is missing. DD's writing is up to her usual standards. Very rushed. A lot of heat, little substance.Overall I would recommend the book, even with the flaws I saw in it. You may not agree.
