Alright, having finished the Wild series I'm on to the Beautiful series and reading them in a fairly random order. Nice to find a great author with a long backlist! I'm well set up for awhile-- 
 So this was another great example of Laurens's skill with emotional arcs and the intersection of love and sex. They do that so well and manage to create different, interesting pairings in each book, which is really impressive. I found Max and Sara to be great characters, even though their particular "kink" wasn't that interesting to me. But that just shows how well these two authors write and how well they can sell their stories to readers-- Definitely worth reading!
