Ok so a couple of amazing things about this book.  While I don't know the authors experience in the kink scene it is written like she really knows what she is doing.  She models consent being renewable and revocable all the way through the book, and that is beyond refreshing!  Not to mention the trigger warnings which are listed at the beginning of the chapters, that is seriously some cold star work there!

The other thing is the diversity of the characters.  While I would have loved to see a flat out queer woman character, that really wouldn't have worked within this story line.  But the rest of the cast truly checks off all the boxes in the diversity check list.  I am looking forward to reading the others in the series and meeting new characters as we go along.
