It pains me to say this, but I didn't enjoy this book. I thought the first half of the book was quite boring.  There was too much space dedicated to the history of Keturah and Crispin.  Their history, in my opinion, could have been told with fewer words.In addition, I did not feel that the character of Keturah and Crispin were well-developed---they weren't even likeable. POSSIBLE SPOILERS: Keturah, in my opinion, was overly trusting of Crispin when she first meets him.  Then, she was overly suspicious of him.  Near the end of the book, she easily forgave him.  She seemed very naive, even after the ten year separation.  In fact, I believe she was naive when she made assumptions about her fiancee, Richard.  Crispin, on the other hand, was ruthless and selfish.  He is selfish when he meets Keturah, and he is selfish when he relentlessly pursues Keturah after their separation, despite the fact that she is engaged.  Making him even more loathsome is the fact that the people to whom he refers as friends are nothing more than pawns to him. Yes, he was betrayed, but he was just as dirty as Sam and the others because he kept them around and began to use them to complete his dirty work.Finally, I must say a few words about the "heat" of this novel...where was it???  I have read an abundance of BDSM books.  Some are good and some are bad; some are outstanding, and some of just okay.  This one was just okay.  The greatest BDSM books, in my opinion, not only include the elements of BDSM but also include the love. I felt no love between Keturah and Crispin.  To be honest, there was a greater sense of love between Ricard and Keturah. I just did';t feel the love between the  main characters.  This book read more like a mystery novel with a little sex thrown in.I never thought I'd say this about a Sienna Mynx book, but this is one that I wish I had not purchased.  Thus, I cannot recommend it.
