Goodreads asked Abigail Grey:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Abigail Grey The inspiration for "Something Real" actually came from my book club. We had read three or four "billionaire books" in a row - yes, including the shades one - and I was just so annoyed! Here we were, a diverse group of men and women, reading these stories that read more like fairy tale than romance and far more like abuse than BDSM. Many of us were incensed that the mainstream readership was being introduced to the kink lifestyles with such misinformation. So I developed a case of insomnia until the first half of "Something Real" had been finished.
