What promises to be a hot and steamy, sexually charged story developed into so much more, with characters that were complex and flawed, a story line that promises only a summer but leaves everyone looking for more.James is a sex therapist, and far from being open to the possibilities, he is closed off and wants nothing of emotional entanglement.  In fact, he discourages entanglements by insisting on surrender, a common misconception of the lifestyle from those not familiar with Dominants. Despite his control issues, James clearly displayed his flaws and fears in his approach, and it was interesting to watch him grow and develop.Kezia is loud, brash and brazen, the complete opposite of James in every way, except one.  She too hides a deep sadness, manifesting in her bold and often forward behavior.  Also a fan of no commitments or entanglements, the struggles between she and James for control of situations is often cleverly displayed.As the two battle it out for supremacy, the true essence of submission as a means of power, and the trust needed to truly engage in the lifestyle is beautifully developed. As they start to share with one another, the walls start to come down and the two start to form a bond.Heartbreaking moments are perfectly intermingled with moments of hope and joy, mixed with some seriously steamy sexual play.  Far from just being a voyeuristic view, the emotional development between the characters and their own personal growth makes this a story well worth reading.I received an eBook copy from the author for purpose of honest review with Tasty Book Tours. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
