Angsty at the beginning; not a clear enough change in the guy; ok read ( ) This was a 6 chapter book but boy did it pack a punch in those 6 chapters. Whether you practice BDSM or not I think every woman could relate to this book. Not just because of the personal issue Gaby went through but also walking away from someone you love because they are unable to give you what you need emotionally from them. How many women go into a relationship thinking I can change him and end up heartbroken when they cant.. This book definately had a great ending... 3 1/2 stars Callum Reed likes his life the way it is. He's a successful attorney and leads a happy BDSM lifestyle with his 24/7 sub/slave of three years Gaby Sullivan; as long as she doesn't have designs on marriage in their future. One night she asks him whether or not he loves her, and goes one step further doing the unthinkable – she asks him if he'll ever marry her. What Callum thought was a perfect arrangement suddenly takes a turn for the worst – Gaby walks away. When he finds out that she'd been keeping a secret from him, and that was the main motivation behind her leaving, he goes after her desperate to win her back. This is my first Sophie Oak book, and it was actually quite good. I'd definitely read more by this author. Ms Oak says that she believes in a HEA no matter how extreme the story, and she definitely delivered with Away From Me. This book is an example of one such extreme. Cal doesn't want to fall in love or get married ever again, not after having lost his wife in a car accident. What he feels for Gaby is a strong affection bordering on love. However the time has come where Gaby wants more and so things take a rather ugly turn when assumptions and accusations are made without proper communication. I felt my heart get a little heavy when Gaby finally revealed her secret – the timing and the circumstances of the reveal made me grab a Kleenex. I thought I knew what Gaby was hiding, but I was SO wrong. I thought the drama was well executed, and the love scenes were hot, but a lot of things had me asking questions. All BDSM relationships (the good ones) are based on a heavy level of trust and honesty, but neither Cal nor Gaby display a lot of that in this story. Why? They were a couple for three years and yet she didn't exactly have a high opinion of him, and tended to listen to her BFF's gossip. Again, why? Gaby came across as manipulative, both in the past and the present, and that just didn't sit well with me. Cal didn't win many brownie points until the very end, but at least this couple got their second chance at a HEA. no reviews | add a review
