review 1: 4.5 stars. Xander and Bella's story concludes as they are already engaged but take on a big challenge together, hoping it will strengthen their relationship because Bella always wants to please Xander. What follows is an interesting perspective on both sides where Xander is an instructor, but he is not Bella's instructor and Bella is a student open to instruction by other Doms. Her submissiveness is put to the test and they don't get to spend as much time together as they would like. Although Bella and Xander were well characterized before, they reveal new sides of themselves due to circumstances. The way Xander and Bella are together is so entertaining because they have a D/s dynamic perfect for them and isn't the same with others. Bella is prone to bouts of feistiness an... mored it is only Xander who can actually control her but even he reaches his limits. Xander has always been more discrete about his past than Bella despite their open honesty but he respects her so much that he doesn't want to interfere with her life plans. Bella trusts Xander with her life but always has lingering doubts. This journey they take brings everything to the forefront and requires them to confront those issues. I've always liked Xander and Bella and it was fun to see them pushed to their limits. Bella may be submissive but she isn't weak or afraid to stand up for what she wants. It's pretty obvious why Xander adores her.
review 2: I just finished reading this book for the second time and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I realized something that has been bothering me that seems to be a common theme in so many of these D/s stories. The main Dominant characters in almost every one of these stories is a total hypocrite! They punish their sub for not trusting them or for expressing their fears or for whatever other arbitrary bullshit offense they perceive as being disrespectful without giving the sub the opportunity to explain their reasons while the Dominants themselves are being dishonest and hiding things from their subs. Why do people fall for these guys? Sorry to rant. :( I really do love these stories. less
