I'm not quite sure what I expected with this novel, but I didn't expect what I got.Apparently I should have paid more attention to the name of the series.What I liked:Well written except for a couple of stumbles.Good steamy romance.Interesting plot that had some mysterious twists.Great character development (even when they weren't real likable).What brought it down to "good" instead of "great" for me:The whole dominance/submission theme.  I realize that it is an integral part of the storyline, but it was too self-abusive for me.  I mean come on.....a strong and independent young woman is suddenly wanting to be a submissive because of some great sex?  And she feels 'a sense of moral outrage'  on behalf of women who have to prostitute themselves to satisfy their addictions?  Yeah, right....but she wants to do the same.Lastly, I truly hate abrupt cliff hangers at the end of a first book in a series.  Yes, I know it's a common practice with series, but I still don't have to like it.However, I do have to admit that I found the book hard to put down--it really proved a compelling read in spite of the issues that I had with it.
