** spoiler alert ** 
 This had a lot of thing I normally like in a story and it's failed at making them interesting. 
 Too much of beating (how can Daniel be alive after all that?), too much sex (heavy on the dub-con and Stockholm syndrome), lack of plot, lack of realism (a lot of explication didn't make sense) and finally I didn't believe in the love (lust) story of Mace and Daniel. 
 (I put the tag: species-anthropomorphic. It's not a shifter werewolf story)
