Alexander is a top student and a top athlete and a natural submissive - only he has not realized this fact about himself. One Friday night his best friend and fellow team mates in the football team invite him to go with them at the Den, the latest hot BDSM club in Tuscaloosa. 
 Lincoln is the owner of the Den and the top badass Dom of the club. One look at Alexander and Lincoln decides that he will be his next sub and boyfriend. 
 Well, someone may say this is a problem because Alexander (a) is not gay (he is in a relationship with Miss Alabama actually) and (b) he has no clue what BDSM stands for and what exactly Lincoln wants from him. But that is not a problem for Lincoln, because he has decided that he wants Alexander and these minor details are not important. 
 Here comes my main objection about their story. Alexander enters the club with his friends and Lincoln dares him to join him on stage. I have never been to a BDSM club, but I have a feeling that if someone does not want to participate on a scene, then the Dom leaves him alone. Alexander basically is forced to take part in the scene and to be spanked in front of the audience although he clearly stated he does not want to. But he is dared by Lincoln and his friends: 
 "Aren't you being a brave little boy tonight Alexander?" 
 He feels scared, humiliated and like there in no way out and like he has only just been called at a magician's show, he agrees to take off his clothes and to be spanked with a crop in front of a crowd on a cross for the first time of his life. And without knowing the rules of the game. And without a safe word. I don't know what you think, but I believe it is a bit too much for a beginner - despite the fact that he liked it in the end. 
 The Dom should have been more responsible! 
 He didn't really know beforehand that his temporary sub will enjoy the play. 
 (Kids, don't try this at home...) 
 Anyway, after the first night at the club, Alexander keeps ending up naked at Lincoln's bed and the pressure continues. I felt Alexander is pressured a lot. Even before he decides if he likes men or whether he likes this lifestyle (he has only be to the club once and took part in one scene) and before they even have sex together, he is basically convinced to start more advanced games. I am not sure this is how BDSM works. I suppose they could have at least dinner once before he is introduced to the playroom, the equipment and the toys which scared the life out of him. 
 Lincoln like another Christian Grey, he is teaching his young, innocent, virgin submissive the secrets and the joys of BDSM. 
 I liked their story after their first spooning. After that, I stopped picture them like Dom and Sub. They behaved more like two young men in their twenties who are in love with each other and they prefer their sex a bit rough. 
 I liked Alexander. He is adorable, brave and stronger than he looks. I am not sure that Lincoln is the right guy for him, but I believe in the next books their relationship will proceed in the right direction. 
 P.S. My rating is three stars. I have given the extra star for the amazing cover. 
 It makes me wanna dance ;)
