<strong>A good mix of the expected and the unexpected</strong>

This had what I expected of the sex scenes and the chemistry. I was not expecting was the character depth in Nate. Definitely did not expect the OCD rep. I want more is my biggest complaint. I wish there were more scenes of their growing and evolving relationship. 

There are many times where it seems lip service is paid to reassuring us the readers that certain things are not unhealthy but then they proceed to do those things anyway. I don't know if this is making sense. But a big example is how Evie thinks to herself that she knows bdsm won't magically cure Nate's OCD in one night or a short time. But in the rest of the book, we keep getting examples of him no longer having certain symptoms. Some seem to disappear within that first day. It would be more believable if the book was longer so we see them over time.
