3 1/2 starsThis is for more of the hard core reader that likes BDSM.  The story was an interesting one.  It shows a woman that meets a man at a restaurant and goes from seduction to ultimate submission.  It shows the process of indoctrination and mind games to accomplish it.  It had graphic sexual scenes with M/F, F/F, F/M.  Natalie is a bright, career oriented woman who falls for an attractive handsome Dom.  Her best friend, JoAnne, is also a Dom with a submissive and a slave. Natalie finds that giving control away is what she craves sexually, after being in control every day at work and in her life.I was interested in the difference between slave and submissive, and what it actually meant to be a slave.  It was an eye opener.  Although it wasn’t overly severe discipline wise, (Just cane and hand) it had elements that made me squirm.  There were collars, leashes, piercings, and cages to go with the bondage.One thing I did not like, and perhaps it is my understanding or misunderstanding of submissive, is that there is no real show of romance, or love involved in the relationship.  The Dom takes care of the submissive, and will not willing harm him or her beyond what they can handle, but I still would  like the romance. It was mentioned that it is like owning a pet.  You love the pet, but not in a romantic way.  Not sure I get that.All in all the book was interesting.
