Hot & Steamy - Have a fire extinguisher ready.

My first thought when i looked at the title was that during the book they exchange roles. NOPE......The book is about Mark looking for and finding a submissive slave. Annie is a independent woman. Mark is sure that she has submissive qualities. Mark takes her through different steps to make sure Annie can accept a slave lifestyle with him. This book is wonderfully written, very graphic, BDSM throughout the entire book. Mark is a excellent master and in the end he falls in love with Annie- that is the power exchange.

FABULOUS!

If you've ever had a dominant/submissive fantasy, this is the book for you! It shows how a dominant man brings a submissive woman with plenty of doubts into his world with hot erotica and hot dialogue. The ending disappointed me, but the rest of the book blew me away. I loved it and will read it over and over.

Excellent Book

Excellent erotica. Not to sweet and not to harsh. Well developed characters and great plot. Extremely likeable dominant male character and submissive female character. No "evil" characters.Well written

Not for the Weak of Heart

I guess what I like most about this book is I keep thinking about it. Ms Oh present a dominate and submissive relationship that develops into love. Mark is a caring dominate. He does seem to care about Annie in his own way. I don't think it is the same way Annie cares about him. Annie would and does endure just about anything to please Mark. However, I am not certain that someone that is referred to as Cast Iron Cavendish would allow some of these things without more of a fight. Mark does use a lot of coercion and intimidation to get Annie to do what he wants. Annie likes Mark and loves the sex that they share. But when she becomes unsure or confused, Mark's response is that she was excited by the experience. Mark takes Annie from a normal relationship to a D/s relationship in a every short time. Mark pushes Annie all the way never giving her time to really think about what is going on. He never explains what will happen until the last minute. Surpising Annie at a time that she can't comfortably back out. Even at the end of the book she is still confused and uncertain.I would like to see a continuation of the story to see is Annie will actually marry Mark. Their realtionship has only been on the weekends and one 10 day holiday to the coast, in a span of 4 or 5 weeks. At present Annie has a great deal of time to herself to be with her friends and do what she likes. In a fulltime relationship with Mark I do not think that would be the case. Like I said I have thought alot about the book. I have even read it more than once. The story is well written. The characters are well defined. The scenes believable. There is something here that I continue to question, but I can't seem to catch it. Of course this is what good fiction should do is make you question and examine how you feel about what you read.

An eye opening view of another way of life!

While I will admit this book was quite titillating in it's content, I must also admit I was a bit uncomfortable with the dominant/submissive role played in this book. I guess I'm just too much of a `dyed in the wool' traditional monogamist. Annie Cavendish is a schoolteacher with a new lover, Mark. He's a great lover but he has another side to him that she doesn't know about. He wants to initiate her very slowly as not to scare her. Mark is a dominant and wants Annie to be his submissive in all ways. This takes time and while Annie is amenable in some ways, in other way she's very hesitant. She just needs to have her mindset changed a bit. It's up to Mark and his special set of friends to help Annie out. Will it be worth it in the end and will Annie finally go along? I will say that I enjoyed reading this book and it was quite a change for me from what I normally read. It did open my mind and my eyes to another way of life. Kathy Boswell, The Best Reviews
