I wrote an earlier review but was  not allowed to send it, because I went into detail as to why I did not like the book and used examples from the book as to why.  Naturally this book is described as Erotic Romance and those examples were not appropriate.First off, this book is not romantic and it certainly was not steamy.  I saw no romance in this book until the very last few pages.  Other than that, the hero was strictly Master and seemed to take pleasure in the punishment.  He was not protective of her in that he made her "get into position", and a position that was very revealing for all to see her finer qualities who might be visiting and were allowed to touch wherever they wished while he watched.  It reminded me of the Story of O.  The entire book was focused on one aspect of her anatomy, and I hint at it in the title of this Review. There was no pleasure to pull you into the book to feel what she felt and to go "OMG" at steamy scenes such as books from Vivien Sparx.I have read much better Master/Submissive books wherein the Master was kind and considerate and eventually one could see something growing between the two such as love.  These Masters did not like the idea of someone else looking at her finer qualities let alone touch.  When I see the word "romance", I expect to see exactly that and/or something growing between the hero and heroine as the two work together in that sort of relationship. I did not see this in this book.I forced myself to read to the end hoping that it would get better.  It only got worse and to me, degrading.  I do not care if I never read another one of Ms. Cartwright's books. Very disappointed.
