A witty, tightly-written love story about a couple of academics in their late 20s who discover they have a few things to teach each other. The balance of BDSM with everyday life made me think of the tone set in the film Secretary (starring James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal), minus the masochism. The characters stay true to their essential personalities (hero is definitely Aspergers), while growing to trust and love each other. Thoroughly enjoyed the developing relationship. Usually, stories like this set up artificial miscommunication to force conflict into the story. Here, the miscommunication was natural and directly related to the Aspergers. Recommended for readers who like distinctly unique characters and out-of-the-ordinary love relationships.
