Review: Well written, but the character motivation is still troubling to me

I read this back to back with Bach's story.  It was extremely well done - Pani viewed what was happening to her so very differently than he did - he was viewing it as an interesting challenge in bending a pet to his will, she viewed it as trying to survive while preserving her sense of self.  I was surprised at how her resistance - so strong through most of the book - became weak kneed acceptance - to such a degree that she wanted to stay with him when she had other options, especially as she spent very little time content with Bach.  But there could be no HEA if she didn't so I guess that explains it.I still don't get the age play turn on - it clearly didn't turn Pani on (although the hot sex did) - it only humiliated her - and Bach never expressed being turned on by humiliation from his perspective in the first book.  It detracted from the eroticism.  I also think this book would have been better if the two perspectives had been woven together into one book - but that would have reduced the revenue stream for the author, I guess, but the character motivation would have been clearer.  I won't be reading Bebe.
