***Time and attention is the greatest gift another person can bestow on someone.****I don’t even know how to begin this review. Grace Street by Ella Dominguez took me by surprise and I am still a little tongue tied to how I want to approach this book. In a sense it really took me out of my comfort zone…not because of the sexual content but more the fact it was like a psychological thriller…and I am not used to reading those types of books. Ms. Dominguez gave me an extremely clear cut warning….it wasn’t a traditional romance….it is purely fiction….she was right, but I am so glad I took the chance reading it.I immediately knew when I started this book it would be different and that getting i to Victor/Mr. Black’s head would be extremely eye opening. As a criminal profiler for the FBI the things he witnesses in his quest to catch serial killers is gruesome, and in his quest to rid his mind of those images he resorts to another type of profiling….the profiling of everyday people to see if he can get them to bend to his will.  That is where our very spirited Elsa comes into play his game.Elsa, who is starting over a new life from being jilted by her ex-lover is sought out by Mr. Black…he wants to use her, bend her to his will…in the most primal sense he wants to break her. But news flash Mr. Black our fiery red head is more than you bargained for. She is ready to play your game…and this time you might not win.I was totally engrossed in where Ms. Dominguez was taking me on this journey. I have never come across a man so confused with himself as Victor/Mr. Black was. It was something to see how one minute he was a cold hard man trying to control the situation to becoming a vulnerable man in the blink of an eye. Watching Elsa learn how to play his game kept me on the edge of my seat and I must admit it I was worried about the chances she was taking with this man, for Mr. Black was not a man to be pushed to the edge.I am looking forward to the continuation of this series to see where Ms. Dominguez takes Elsa and Victor. I am totally invested in this couple and their story and can’t wait for more of their journey!
