Ok... so with much deliberation on how to even being this review, I think I will start with a disclaimer. This book is not what I would normally read as BSDM, this takes it to a whole new level that I am not sure I am totally okay with. I didn't dislike this book either. This book was intense and way out of my comfort zone, but the relationship between Cara and Travis had me reading more and more. If you choose to read this, be warned. It is not 50 Shades, it is so much more than you can even imagine.I knew going into this book that it was going to place me well outside my comfort zone, but I was also curious how all of the things in the warning played out in the book, and boy did they play out.Travis, a shy, rich, computer geek and Cara, the artist who likes it more than a bit rough share a dinner and after dinner snack which leads to a world of BSDM like no other. I carefully considered the characters when I sat down to read this book. If I could imagine the characters outside of the scenes, I could easily review this book.How wrong I was. I loved their story as a couple and the scenes played well into their characters sexual needs. I know if this book was written with the scenes toned down, it would still be a good book with a good story line.Even being well beyond my comfort zone, I found it to be an easy read and I loved how the relationship between Travis and Cara played out.And for those of you wondering, Quinacridone is a pigment of red, as I said Cara is an artist.I would definitely yellow light this book and read with extreme caution, but the overall story was good, I have a hard time giving it a higher star rating because I was so taken back by the graphic nature of it, pushing so much further than you standard BSDM read.
