This book was OK. I didn't like it as much as i thought i would, or as much as others did. To me it just seemed cold and impersonal. I think this might have been caused by the fact that the book started right off with the two women being intimate in a 'professional' setting; so there was no build up of sexual tension. As the book progressed, i was more able to understand and feel for the characters, but by that point, i had already judged them to be shallow. I just didn't feel the chemistry as much as in books by, lets say Ronica Black, who also does some pretty serious hot and steamy. Also, i didn't buy into the baggage both characters had (which of course all characters must). 

 This book was heavy on BDSM, which i don't have a problem with reading about, but apparently am not into enough to have been appropriately moved by it's hotness. ;) Or, i'm just a hopeless romantic... But i know from other books i've read, that this theme can be relayed in a story in a very sexy way, this just wasn't it for me. 
 
I have no problem with the author's style of writing. I very much liked Infinite Loop, but then, i can relate to those characters more. It's all a matter of perspective.

I haven't read many books where kink plays such a pivotal role. I really enjoyed the book and how the "non-vanilla" sex scenes were handled.
