I found this book incredibly boring and by the end of the book i was reading pretty fast just to finish it. Aside from very tame and unerotic BDSM activites (the author apparently had no first-hand experience of a D/s relationship), the writing is sophmoric and almost laughably bad. Most annoying, the characters were born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, yet speak with a vocabulary that consists of British slang not ever used in any region of the US. Of course, the male protaganist is an amazingly handsome, wealthy male with un-matched sexual skills. Most woman in the US would be happy with just one of those traits in their man. Make the man humble, homely and poor, and see if the book has the same effect. To be bluntly honest, most guys in our lifestyle are closer to the latter three traits, not the former.
This book will serve its purpose of getting repressed, past-the-age-of-child-rearing soccer moms all horned up, but for those of us who live, lived, or completely understand the lifestyle, will find it insulting to the eroticism we hold dear. Judging by sales, American women in the 30's and 40's have a secret, unquenchable fetish.. unfortunately it is a fetish for poor literature.
