I have to start this review by saying how much I love Elliot Mabeuse and his writing. I'm steadily making my way through his work, and this is my fifth story of his to enjoy. Like the other stories I've read, there is the prominent theme of the heroine being forced to submit to a man, and in doing so, she finally gives in to her own dark, forbidden desires, those desires locked tightly away from herself, yet are so clearly seen and exposed, defined and exploited by the hero.
