SUMMARY: Caroline and Andrew get together for the first time since he put her up for auction the week before.

COMMENTARY: This story is hot! Yes, I realize that I have said that before, about other stories, but this time I really mean it.

The author does a wonderful job keeping the action fresh. She does not cut to the chase too quickly, although, there isn't, truth be told, very much to the plot. The emphasis is on how Caroline and Andrew feel about one another and how they enjoy one particular night together.

Speaking of Caroline and Andrew, I found them to be realistic and multidimensional. They both express doubts, either verbally or mentally. These doubts, coupled with the other emotions that they experience, made it easy for me to accept that they could be real people. They did not seem like stereotypes. This is what really turned me on; the fact that it wasn't just mindless sex.

If you like romantic stories with some bondage and discipline in them or you like bondage and discipline stories with some romance in them, then you should love this one. I do and I did.
