This is WS Greer's best work to date! When I say this book hit hard that's an understatement. The pages wouldn't turn fast enough, I couldn't devour it faster if I tried! One day was all it took! Quinn and Olivia are two of my favorite characters, each bringing a depth that many will be able to understand and empathize with. For us women, we all want to be that independent woman, but deep down we also want to be protected, cherished, cared for, respected, and all the other things that make us feel feminine, but society says we can't be both, so we tend to choose. And Quinn wasn't much different. He struggled with his fathers history and how he thought that defined him. What I saw was a deeply emotional man who had feelings he didn't know how to properly express because he hadn't embraced that side of him yet. But once he did it completed a circle and allowed him to come into the man he was meant to be. And with both of their evolutions they became the best kind of partner to each other that they didn't know they needed. I think we all struggle between what is expected of us and what and who we want to be, thinking there is only one answer. But in reality we are complex, and have so many facets that make up who we are, we just have to be brave enough to embrace them all. Now, for the spice factor, because I know ya'll come into Greer's book knowing it will be a spicy ride....yes, the hot, luscious BDSM spice is there and it takes you into a chokehold right from the start and doesn't let go, so buckle up for the ride because this is his spiciest book yet! I love the way he delves into the bad sides to the D/s dynamic, specifically fakes, because I think a lot of us may be curious and have even encountered a fake Dom (or even a sub) who liked the idea of it but didn't respect the lifestyle enough to learn all they could before jumping in with both feet. And in turn, made first encounters for some into something bad, to be feared, and maybe even made some walk away entirely. So I'm glad that was addressed and put in its place! I can't wait to grab my signed hardback of this book to add to my WS Greer shelf! If you're like me, you will finish this, have a hangover, and want to turn right around and start it again! You've killed it again Will, BRAVO!!!
