Review: Finally A BDSM Novel that was Sexy, Fun AND Didn't have a Control Freak as the Male Protagonist
Rating: 5 out of 5

I have been reading a number of the BDSM novels since 50 shades of Control Freak to see if having a protagonist who IRL would probably end up beating you was de rigueur  or if a more sane male protagonist was possible. I've read some novels where the protagonist had all the hallmarks of a serial rapist - scary. The second thing that slows me down on these books is that most of them are written in first person which makes it difficult for me to get into the story and live there.Ms Hart's guy is refreshingly normal, sane, loving, sweet and willing to play both parts with equal fervor. What a nice change. I also like the fact that Daisy is no wall flower (pun sort of intended) and doesn't literally fall at Duran's feet in the opening pages. She is cool, competent, and entirely able to hold her own in both situations. Brava, author, I was glad to see her bloom. I couldn't BE Daisy because the book uses her voice exclusively and her POV but it was like going to lunch with a trusted girlfriend and getting all the sexy details.Thank you Ms Hart because you introduced us to a couple who play it both ways, for fun and who seem reassuringly normal.Readers, this book is fun, the sex is fun, the turnabout is fair play is fun...it's just fun. I will have to reread at a slower pace, but I shall enjoy doing it because this book is...FUN. (Now, what's my safe word?)
