AMAZING! LOVED IT! This was an incredibly well thought out and detailed complex dive into these characters lives. This is the first book I’ve read from this author (its a stand alone) and it won’t be my last. Super hot BDSM but more, so much more, about the why and how these people delve into this world. I don’t know that any of its factual but it definitely seemed plausible and most even likely so I found it super intriguing as it really delved into the underlying reasons some people like what they like, why they crave the subjugation the way that most would never understand, in a way that seems objectively beautiful. It is masterfully explained far more eloquently than I could ever put into words, its something everyone should read if only to see BDSM from a new perspective. Audrey and Gavin have a story that needed to be told. It was well done just all the way through and I think everyone who reads it will come away with a better understanding of things they thought they already knew.
This is the first book I have read from A.R. Hadley and wow, I picked a good one!! This book is so wonderfully written you won’t be able to put it down. This story not only explores the world of BDSM, but self awareness and exploration for Aubrey. She was able to find her true self and it’s so well written, you feel as if you are living the story with her. I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.
Holy Hotness! What a read!
I expected this book to be smoking hot and extremely sexy but what I didn’t expect was the story. It transcended the genre and really brought this book to life. I have never experienced BDSM but yet I related to these characters in a way that I never expected.
The only criticism that I have was the back and forth from past to present. You could get a little lost and had to really stay in the story to keep up. It could have been a smoother transition. But believe me, the story will keep your attention.
This was my first book by A.R. Hadley but it definitely won’t be my last.
