Don't waste your money on this book, it's popularity is all hype, which the publisher and author I'm sure are loving.  I read the reviews of the book here on Amazon and decided not to purchase it, but talk about it is everywhere and I wanted to see what the big deal was. I'm very glad I got it at the library, it's everything the poor reviews had said it was. The writing is poor, the characters are not compelling or well developed. The hype comes from the fact that the author writes about a topic (sexual dominance) that is usually a hush-hush topic. This book is probably a great read for a man.  It's basically a sexual fantasty story as a man would like the story to go.
