I'd give 4.5 stars, if I could.Dakota Lynn's Protegee gives a fresh perspective to bdsm. It delves into the psyche of a new sub and her seasoned Dom as much as it goes into the physical relationship between them. Amelia is in her 40's, a widow who, after 20 years of marriage, is searching for something new and exciting. She's someone I can relate to. And Dirk, Amelia's Dom trainer, is another character whom I can understand. I didn't do the math, but I imagined Dirk to be a little older than Amelia, and as many of us do when we hit mid-life, Dirk also has questions about what he wants for his future.The writing is topnotch. The storytelling is compelling. The sex is hot. The bdsm focuses more on bondage and domination than it does on s/m. I heard someone call it "sugarkink," which I think fits. If you're into romance, but unsure about bdsm, this is a good book to start with. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.
