I received this book as a contest prize. No strings attached. I waited a little too long to write up the review, but I will say this: Heidi Cullinan is a master at her trade. She takes characters, makes them real - she takes kinds that might be hard limits for some people and makes them flow so smoothly that the reader may not even realize there's been a boundary crossed.This is how my experience with this book was. I'm not entirely comfortable with cross-dressing or drag, nor with sharps play, nor with watersports. But in this book, I was entirely engrossed with Caramela's character to the point where I was cheering her right along with the rest of the gang. And yes, I do feel that Caramela is a separate character even though she's part of Chenco. I don't think I could ever allow someone to stick me multiple times with needles. Yet, I was never squicked out at any point by the scene with Steve and Chenco. Perhaps because it was almost like a religious experience for them or because it was just another extension of their bond & trust for each other. And the watersports? There were watersports? It was handled in such a way that it (pardon the pun) flowed just as seamlessly as the rest of the kinky bits.And as much as I love the gang, I was happy to see that Steve and Chenco did not invite any of the others to play with them.I had already loved what I'd read from Ms. Cullinan, but now I've been toppled over into true fangirl realms. I will make it my mission to at some point read every book this woman produces.
