Story
He's the type of man she should be running far away from. A man she has no business getting tangled with personally. And still, she wants him and all the intoxicating ways of his wild world. Giving away his heart was never part of the deal when it came to women. It was only supposed to be about pleasure. Nothing else and nothing more. He's in for a rude awakening when his world collides with a woman as bold, assertive, and determined as he is.

CONS:
I am not a fan of BDSM; repetitive language ("like no other," "point of no return," "pleased him/her very much"); no conflict
PROS:
Her ability to speak life into him even when she was mad.
His ability to learn her.
His ability to recognize and put her need for space above her want for his closeness. His ability to LISTEN and honor what she said she wanted, going against his nature to dominate., if nothing else, I learned I am NOT a fan of BDSM.

You know how you really want to hear the story of when Grandpa met Grandma; but Grandpa just keeps repeating how pretty she looked at a school dance over and over and over........ and over, well that's how the story went.
It was unnecessarily repetitive.

It feel short for me. the book seemed short sighted. one of the characters was curious about everything yet it went into no real explaination of why or how certain people ate sins. or who the scholar whose writings she followed so fervently.
