This is not my favorite Joey Hill book. That would be Rough Canvas. Holding The Cards is about a domme and a male sub. The male has some psychological issues to work through. So does the Domme. The emotional/psychological problems took precedence over the d/s relationship. I would have preferred less angst. If I want to read about past trauma, I'll pick a psychology book, not a book about d/s!
The Dom from Rough Canvas, Marcus, is a strong secondary character in the book. The sex is d/s though not overly hardcore or disturbing.
