   No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) DebJack | Jul 28, 2023 |  I know that a lot of people love this author and this series, it's on a bunch of lists, however it didn't sit well with me. Gabe is the Hero and he is a businessman with bank. He is one of three brothers, and his object of desire is Mia who is the little sister to of his best friend. After he secures Mia in his grasp, he gives her the BDSM contract and gets her to sign on the dotted line. Although Mia is excited and scared, she trusts that this man is going to treat her right. Yes, a woman can be treated right even while being spanked to and tied up. However, Gabe asks Mia to go above and beyond what would be expected of her at such a recent introduction to the scene. I am referring to a specific scene where she was expected to strip naked and serve as a table or a platter or some kind of inanimate object to hold and serve food for a bunch of unknown businessmen. That pissed me off. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a table or a platter for BDSM fun. What is wrong was how he manipulated this young woman who otherwise has no experience in the scene whatsoever into being groped and watched by strangers while her "loving" boyfriend is there conducting business. Also, she had no idea she was going to be doing this. It was just sprung on her and was followed up with some kind of male manipulation to get it going. I don't remember if she liked it or not, but that isn't the point. The point is you do not get your new submissive who has never done anything kinky in the past to strip and become a platter for food for strange businessmen without even asking first. Actually, he shouldn't have even asked. This is a no-brainer. He supposedly loves her and is worried about her brother finding out they are together. How does he expect her older brother to react when he finds out he had her naked and groped during a business lunch? Seriously? That is just one of the many reasons why I wanted to stab Gabe with at fork. And that is one of the many reasons why I marked this as a DNF even though I read it, because that is the response I had after reading it.
