I received the ARC for an honest review**This story was like no other BDSM book I have read!  The story line didn't center around Ryan and his "Master" but followed Ryan on his journey to free himself from the bonds of the horrific things that happened to him as a young boy.  Ryan has lived with the pain and terrors of it for years even though it ended over 20 years ago.  It has kept him from having meaningful long lasting relationships and makes him question daily why he hasn't ended his life.  Even his best friend Mason can't reach him to help pull him from the hell he lives in his mind.Then Ryan meets Stella through Mason.  She is a BDSM Master that specializes in special cases like Ryan, but there is more to their feelings for each other than Master to pet.  Ryan isn't sure if he can handle him past pain and fears to deserve someone like Stella.This book was heartbreaking to read but I couldn't put it down!  I wanted, no I NEEDED to know that Ryan ended up ok and that his path because easier for him to travel.  The gamut of feelings and pain that he went through so tangible and real.  I could feel his hurt and pain screaming at me from the pages of the book.  I wanted to wrap Ryan up in a huge hug and never let him go.  The steam between him and Mason and him and Stella was HOT, burn your hand HOT!!  The connections between them were amazing and I was so relieved that Ryan had found people that understood his pain and could help him through it!  A great read!!
