Smutty/BDSMy holiday romance novella. Enjoyed the erotic parts , however the skipping between the present & multiple dream scenarios gave me whiplash. The ending was a blink-and-you-miss-it HFN - by then I didn't believe the h/H would last beyond the time taken to have a smoking hot affair - mainly bcos of the commitment-phobe/womanizer H. 3 stars.

The difference is, will Kat let Julian take it?
