Rating = 4 stars
The subject matter of this book made me a little hesitant at first but I like to push my boundaries now and again to discover new genres, sub genres and kinks! Whoa – I was pushed with this book but I really liked it! Abso-frackin-lutely!
It was a compelling read and one that sucker punched right from the start with the hook-up of Bran “construction worker” and Jonathan “enigmatic billionaire” in a downtown pub and subsequently the back alley. Oh yes, de-light-ful.
Jonathan sees something in Bran that Bran so obviously does not recognise in himself, however he agrees to meet Jonathan the next evening and that was where the whole essence of the story unfolds. Jonathan offers Bran three million dollars in exchange for six months of Bran’s life to “open his eyes to a whole new World”
Bran has not had an easy life and is trying to turn this around and make things better for him; hence the three million dollars would for sure help him to buy the company he currently works for. He doesn’t, however, know what he is letting himself in for in the exchange. He has no idea what being a “submissive” truly entails.
Jonathan feels comfortable in what he is – a dominant, but after a disastrous marriage he now only relies on six month contracts to give him what he desires. In the past he and the other parties have entered the contracts with eyes wide open but with Bran this does not go to plan.
This is an extremely dark and powerful read and at times uncomfortable. The emotions it pulled out from me – from the “WTF is going on?” to the “Jesus!” to the “weeping like a wuss”, it was a wonderful insight and yes it pushed my boundaries. Result! Onwards to the next part. Yay!
