Oh Hell!! I had NO idea that people wrote submissive men. Robs submissiveness didn't turn me off, but the scenes where they explore his kink are super hot. SUPER HOT. Merry and Rob were both very likeable and even more so as their issues were fleshed out throughout the story. This isn't the typical romance where there is an external conflict. The conflict here is the issues each character (more rob than merry) has to deal with to be able to move forward. 
 story - solid 4. I just got another of Cara McKenna's books and I can't wait to jump into it. 
 narrator - 3.5 the female narrator did a great job. Rob's voice and accent were very sexily done. kudos.
