I have enjoyed this series and this author very much. This is hard to rate because the actual story was excellent – well thought out and interesting. Unfortunately, there was more s*x here than any book I can remember – fast forward, fast forward, fast forward, just too much and the majority was dominance and control. As good as the story itself was I do wish I had skipped this one. The 4 stars are for the story line, not the p*rn.
