Serena has been fulfilling other people fantasies, she hadn't really given her own a thought. That's all changed once she comes forth with wanting to be dominated and to be owned by a man. There is just the perfect person known to make this fantasy come true one way. Damon Roche owns a sex club and the man that Serena seeks out. Together they will push each others limits, Damon has no intentions of letting go, but Serena isn't sure. She's everything that he has ever wanted and he has to convince her to stay with him. His submissive.
I liked the message of "doing what makes you happy", either through your job or extracurricular activities, something has to do it for you. If you are not doing what makes you happy you should think about doing something that does. So long as it is legal. I think we are aware that this is not a YA novel, this is an adult book. With that being said after the sexier scenes where done, I thought there was going to be more in depth detail. I like that there wasn't. It was tasteful and not overdone. With that Banks didn't allow the sex to be everything in the book, yes it was a good portion, but I feel I learned more about the characters than I have with a few other erotic books. I laughed so much, mainly from the three girls that are best friends, but from beginning to end I was laughing.
I have two dislikes. One pertains to the book and the other is a rant. The one that actually deals with the book is that there were a few times that I felt like it got a little dull. Though once those spots where over they were quickly forgotten. Now for the rant. I am sick of endings going like this; the love interests in the book either towards the end or in the second book of the series (if the couple are the powerhouse of the series), break up because of something (sometimes stupid sometimes not) and then get back together because they realize how much they belong together. This is getting annoying. I am sick of reading books that follow this because I know now the telling signs to it about to happen and then I skip the last 15 to 20 pages of the book. I just find the one sentence that says why they got back together and skip everything in between.
I wish I had the first book to read, I really do not like reading a series out of order. This wasn't too bad though. I don't feel like the first book got ruined or why that couple broke up and then got back together. That is about the only thing that bugged me the most. Every thing else was great. I do recommend this to the more mature audience, it is labeled an "adult" book for a reason. After reading this book I do want to read more from Banks. I do want to own this book and maybe the series.
