5+++ stars I loved this book! It hit all of my kink buttons. The author did a great job of giving me what I want in a BDSM book. First off, the scenes weren't fade-to-black, they were explained and very hot. Mischa (the Dom) and Tom (the sub) each explained what they were getting out of the scenes. Mischa liked to give pain and Tom liked to receive it. Mischa would walk Tom through the pain in a very loving way and Tom would then say how it made him feel and why it was good for him. 
 This is very much a romance. Other reviews make it sound a little too hardcore, but Tom and Mischa are both so sweet and the giving/receiving of pain really makes them happy and fulfilled. Even the enema is given lovingly. 
 I do agree with other reviewers that the ending was disappointing. I just wanted Tom and Mischa to have their HEA with no complications, but it didn't quite come out that way. I have the next book, Alphabet Soup, ready to read; I can't wait. I am going to hunt down anything else C. B. Conwy has written.
