The writing was good and both books are a fun exploration of BDSM and kink with emphasis on safety and care for anyone who is unfamiliar with this world to learn.  The author was very detailed in explaining the appeal of submission and masochist behaviour and the different psychological needs it fulfills for the person who chooses that lifestyle.

The issue with the book is there is no story outside of the encounters. If you toned down the spice factor you would end up with a rather generic romance story.  They meet, they fall in love,.there is a bad guy who causes trouble but they get past that and they live happily ever after. 

It's pretty dull when nothing is on the line.  Yes there is a stalkery bad guy but he is out written. 

I think I will stick to RH and supernatural powers.
