ugh this was a horrible read. both the sub and dom were tstl in addition to behaving in unrealisticly. this just was not a believable story to me, real people do not act and react like these guys. in addition to that the major pain play did not do anything for me other than make me have a squicked out face while reading..I tend to finish books of this lenghth in one or two days but this book took literally a month of me reluctantly trudging through because I was sick of dnf books and made myself read this in whole. I regret this decision.
