review 1: A very good read. The kink was basically accurately portrayed and read as authentic. Thank you to the author for doing some research and taking the time and care to do it right. No, this isn't supposed to be a manual for doing BDSM but nothing makes me stop reading faster than inaccurate or unrealistic BDSM, especially if the story casts a negative light on it. This one certain did not and I found it enjoyable. The sex was steaming hot. I enjoyed both characters and would love to read more about them. The mystery part is thin and predictable but that's not why I read the story to begin with. This might have been closer to 5 stars except for two issues. One is that I would have liked a little more background on both characters, particularly Adam. I know that's no... moret the focus of the book but I wanted to have a fuller sense of them as whole men. Second, I took off part of a star for poor editing. I'm not the grammar police and struggle with commas myself, but this book had blatant mistakes - sentences that didn't make sense, perhaps because they were edited but not fully. Unclear sentences with too many "his" or "it" to figure out who the author was referring to. I probably added a star because this hit several kinks - police subs and first-time, not only for sex but in BDSM.
review 2: This one had several things I'm not fond of but overall I still enjoyed it. Primarily because of Clay. There was something about him that I really enjoyed - perhaps it was the always fighting with himself stuff. The mystery was o.k. though I guessed by about mid way through what was happening. I like some of West's other books - though they are kind of a strange guilty pleasure - esp. since I'm not fond of bratty subs. This wasn't original but it hit the spot as I'm in the middle of reading something very dark. less
