the ending of this book made it hard to finish. i prefer lighter and happier times in my kink. i've read a bit harder but this one just didn't sit well with me this time. just me i think.

**3-1/2 Stars**
This was a pretty good, short and sweet read. I guess I'm just used to A. Joseph's more intense writings (and I enjoy the dark stuff more). This did have bdsm elements (the hero was a sadist, after all), but it was lite S/m in my opinion. The M/s (S/m) were sweet together, and the heroine did have a painful history that they had to deal with. I don't think I'll ever understand the sharing thing once you're in a committed, "in love" relationship, but as I've said before, I don't live this lifestyle, so what do I know? I don't let my dislike of that small part of the storyline affect my rating--just stating that for me, there's an ick factor when I read about it. All in all, I enjoyed this. It's not a series, but the next book is Fortune.
