This is the most honest and knowledgeable representation of a true masochist/sadist relationship I've ever seen in any book. The plot surrounding the relationship was fun but the relationship was the starring role. The characters were true to the BDSM scene.
I have to say that this isn't the typical "You're my slave and must do as I say," type of BDSM erotica book. Instead it was the way a truly romantic relationship between a masochist and sadist can unfold and develop. If you're not a masochist or sadist, you might consider it dangerous, heavy or too severe, but if you care to look into the mindset of sadism or masochism, this is a better primer than the Story of O.
Personally, I loved this book and applaud the author for authenticity and her ability to weave it into a story that was easy to read.
