This story was definitely not fit me. I was turned off by the characters very early in the story. Willow was a girl with no sense. I came to this conclusion when she said that she hated her body. She had the body women dream about but she acts as if it was a detriment to her. I know she wanted to be known for more than her body, but that didn't make sense. Colin didn't come off as a true dominant. I was totally turned off when he required Willow to call him sir within their first getting together. He didn't build trust for her to make the decision to call him that.
Once those flaws sprung up the storyline was done for me. It was flat. No dimension at all. No character development. The direction of the story was ground level. It didn't build up to nothing. I didn't even care if this couple ended up together or want to follow their adventure. And the cliffhanger let no wanting. This was dead. Ms. Jordan can bury this story.
I hate series. In any case the story was good a tiny bit farfetched but enough realism that I enjoyed the take the ending scene though was soooo irksome
