(I received this book for free as part of Goodreads First Reads giveaways).
(This review may contain spoilers).
I almost think this was an ‘accidental’ win. When I read the blurb, I originally decided not to enter… and then I did so later without thinking and figured I wouldn’t win anyway. But I am glad I did.
I don’t know a great deal about the kind of lifestyle in this book – really only bits and pieces. I noticed that the author did touch on a lot of kinks, though – and I thought it was good that safewords were used, even though I felt they weren’t always honoured.
I thought the differences between Julian and Colin came across really well in this book and it was really interesting to see them through Rachel’s eyes. There were times I actually felt like a true spectator to the scenes.
I thought that the science aspect to the book came across really well. It added a further element to the storyline and I felt the conflict came across really well. I had hoped for a happier resolution to one of the issues… but I was pretty happy with how the book ended.
There were some quite intense moments in the book that I wasn’t expecting. I was really surprised by how I was drawn in and how much I wanted to keep reading.
There were some amusing moments in the storyline, particularly when it came to Bree. I would almost like there to be a sequel to this book, perhaps with Bree and Jordan as central characters.
This is quite a graphic book, but one that I was still entertained by and found easy to read. Plus, it had a lot of guilt-angst that was resolved, which is always a plus for me. I would definitely be interested in checking out more books by this author.
