I won this book in a FB book party. Having not known about the Replay series, and then reading the premise, I bought the first 3 books in the series so I could read them straight through, though each book is great as a standalone. This book brings us Marcus, an injured Veteran with PTSD and Gini, a petite and eager librarian. Gini receives a free weekend at Replay, from her friend Rowena, introduced earlier in the series. Replay, a BDSM roleplaying resort, specializes in historical time periods, being Pirate themed on the weekend Gini attends. Gini wants to learn more about BDSM and test her limits, and after years of pining after Marcus, she learns he is the Dom she is playing with for the weekend. We learn about Marcus, his PTSD, his service dog Rex and how Marcus navigates the world as a sufferer, and a new Dom. I love that Farrell incorporates such issues into her books, to raise awareness in a hot and steamy setting. My only disappointment is that the book ended so quickly. Am eager to read more about Marcus.
