When you are chock full of tears falling down your face while reading, you have a 5 KINK review
An unexpected KNOCKOUT! I wanted to read this story, my first by the author, based solely on the synopsis. This was not what I was expecting. It was much MORE. I laughed, I cried. It’s about love, death, sex and violence. The opening chapter grips you immediately. The storyline and the characters are flawless. The main hero, Winston, is very much flawed too, but you want to reach in and hold him during his bouts of weakness and depression. It’s a smart, searing thriller that moves perfectly. A romance of tender intimacy and erotic sensuality.
“I will not make you do what you do not want to. But understand me when I say this. When the time comes…you will not only ask me you will beg me”
