"Like driving at night with the lights off. Brilliant, crazy, intense, and a must have for anyone who is genuinely kinky. It's like reading Venus in Furs but as told from Wanda's perspective.... If Masoch is a crop, Ms. Lane is a cane. The scenes with her and Butler are the high points, and that rabbit hole just gets deeper and longer. Ms. Lane is a renegade, an outlaw, and this book isn't for the rulebook-waving scolds who endless chant their 'Safe-Sane-Consensual' mantra, but it deserves to be read.
Ms. Lane is earnest in her pursuit of her goal-and Butler always has a choice-even if we all know what he's going to choose. It's consensual, broadly. And mostly safe. I say sane, but that's up for grabs. She is all over the boundary lines, and that's what makes it a fine and fun read.
Careful what you wish for, boys, you might just get it. A tumbler of whiskey to you and your slave. Ms. Lane, you have told a dark and little-understood truth about who we are."
"This book is way beyond intense! The S&M alone has a high WOW factor, but when you throw in the psychological mind games, Ms. Renee is unequaled."
"I'm still trying to process everything I read in this book. Powerful, disturbing, emotional, and I identify completely with it."
"Absolutely perfect. Beautiful story, great read, intense love."
