I really enjoyed this book. Cynthia Myers is the quaint essential southern bell. She's been taught since childhood that girls fit into two categories, Madonna and Whore. Her father has bullied her in every way possible to keep her in line. She follows the rules set by her family to never speak of family business, to marry whom they approve and never have a mind of her own.

In an act of defiance she is kicked out, disinherited and left abandoned by not only her father, but her mother, brother and those she thought to be her friends. Her true friends come to the rescue and introduce her to the man of her dreams.

Chris is a switch and step by step he shows Cynthia how she was born to be a dominant and in this act she finally feels free. When she finally feels she's got her footing in her new life Chris asks her if she's ready to submit to him like he's done. He's ready to switch role from submissive to dominant, but Cynthia's not.

I loved the story of how evil her parents are and to what lengths they are willing to go. I also love the story of Cynthia coming into her own. This book was a little short and some parts of the book seem rushed or feel skimmed over, but all in all I enjoyed reading this book.
