Something is off. It's me, I'm just not feeling the plot nor the chracters.

I just couldn't get into this one, which is a shame because I really enjoyed most of the series. I'm not sure if it was the characters or my taste, but I just couldn't stick with it.

3.5 rounded up, 'cause Ms Mitchell is Goood. Her humor and psychological acuity lift this book above the herd.
That said, I didn't quite believe Tai's saintliness, or what he saw in Beach, even if the latter is really really cute (at one point we're told Beach looks like an Abercrombie & Fitch model, which I thought was a little lazy). And if bdsm is really practiced on this level in the real world I want in.
However, this is a romance, it behooves me to remember, and very satisfying as such. Plan to read the rest in the series (I jumped in quite late, obviously, and this one definitely works as a stand-alone).

BDSM isn't really my thing, but when it is done well, I do find the subject intriguing and enjoyable. And I have to say that I found this was done well. I've liked Beach from the get-go, and Tai grew on me (though I do wish we had gotten to see interactions with his family). Things did get a little crazier than I was expecting at the end, but overall I really enjoyed this one. I think I would be hard-pressed to pick between Tai/David and Quinn/Eli as my favourite couple/story in the series.

I liked this but I didn't love it, there wasn't really much to it other than the BDSM aspect of Beach realising he wanted to be Tai's sub.
If you like a full on exploration of a Dom/sub relationship with power exchanges, this one will float your boat big time.
I got a bit bored with the repetition of Beach/David fighting to come to terms with his feelings and Tai deciding how far he could push things without his sub running.
