Jill and John are a successful couple - she a lawyer and he a writer. This story opens with a traumatic event that gives them a glimpse of previously subconscious desires that they choose to explore.

Jill discovers she likes to be forced and john discovers he likes to watch it happen. This leads them into increasingly risky situations, not all of which are wise choices, and though tested at times the bond between them, as related by John, sees them through.

This book contains more than one non-consensual encounter, something readers should be aware of before going in. The fact that these scenes play into Jill's kink make them acceptable to the characters in this fantasy, but if such content bothers you this might not be the book for you. This isn't the first time I've encountered this theme in Matthew Lee's writing, and I think he handles the dichotomy between peril and desire well, as they pertain to his fantasy characters.

There is a second book following Jill and John's (misadventures) but after reading a couple of reviews I'm content to leave them here with a positive outlook for their future. ( )
